The LPM Beauty Swap

Hey lovelies,

So sorry about the radio silence, I have been having a crazy couple of weeks (you might have seen a couple of my tweets), more about that in next weeks Motivational Monday post.

Anyhu things have finally eased off so just wanted to share a couple of quick posts with you.

First up is ...drumroll please .. The LPM Beauty Swap with beauty bloggers which kicks off today. 

The idea was to create a secret beauty advent calendar type swap for the 12 days leading up to Christmas. Each blogger would wrap up 12 individual samples and number them from 1-12, they would then send out the 12 samples anonymously to a blogger whose name they had been given like a secret beauty santa. (I drew the names out of a hat)

So essentially each blogger receives 12 beauty samples and gets to open up a sample each day till they open all 12. 

Beauty Christmas Advent Calendar & Crackers

I have been in denial for a while, but it's official, we are literally 6 weeks (to date) away from Christmas...eeek how on earth did the year fly by so quickly!

I love that so many brands are now offering an alternative to the traditional Christmas chocolate advent treats or crackers and offering beauty goodies in advent calendars and crackers. Unfortunately many of them are limited editions, so there is no time like the present to pick up some of these festive beauty treats. 

Here are a few of my favourites

M&S Autograph Beauty Crackers

A collection of 6 novelty beauty crackers, with each containing a mini make up product and beauty tip.  It includes the following

• 2 x lip gloss
• Liquid glow illuminator
