Hi guys! It's officially that time of year! You know what time I mean. Christmas is around the corner and that means your Christmas shopping is probably well under way, which is why we all rejoice a bit when Black Friday arrives in November.

Instead of rushing out into the cold though, there are offers aplenty to be found online. One such place to visit is none other than the wonderful Yves Rocher. Last year they did a fab Temptation Days game that lasted a whole week with a collection of their top products available for reduced prices.

Yves Rocher Black Friday 2016

This year, they are bringing the week of fun back. Not just one day of offers, but an entire five days. It starts on the 23rd November and lasts through until the 28th. Not only that, but instead of 44 products that were reduced last year, this time you will be able to find 70 beauty bargains on their website. I dare you to try to resist it.

So whether you're into their skincare ranges or makeup, you'll be able to find something that tickles your fancy.

My favourite Yves Rocher products? I definitely love the beautiful Botanical Color Eye Pencil and the Secrets d'Essences Voile d'Ambre perfume is perfect for this time of year. It would be great to see those in the offer and if they are, definitely check them out!

I don't know about you, but I'm excited to shop already.

What Yves Rocher products are you hoping to see in the offer and which will you be treating yourself with?

There is nothing worse than spending a long time applying your makeup for it to just wear off after a couple of hours. No one likes to waste their time. That's why today we're going to be looking at a spray that promises to keep your face in place for hours on end. Hurrah!

Japonesque Makeup Setting Spray

Ah, mascara. Who doesn't love mascara? Choosing a good one is important if you are looking to pull a look together nicely, so today we're going to be looking at one by a rather popular makeup brand (understatement of the century) to help you choose the best for you.

MAC Upward Lash Mascara

The MAC Upward Lash Mascara is a product that claims to provide volume, length and curl. It is also designed to be smudge-proof, flake-proof, fragrance free and safe for contact wearers.

The brush is small, but don't be fooled. The centre of the brush is hollow which enables it to hold a lot of product within it to coat the lashes evenly.

It comes packaged in the style of MAC's ever famous lipstick range, so it looks like an amazing, giant-sized lipstick! Now if only MAC could get onto that as well...

Hey guys! So, I've been away from the blog for a little while, but I am now finally back! Coming back also means that I had to bring a review of something exciting to make up for it, so that's exactly what I'm posting today.

Lord and Berry 20100 Maxi Matte Lipstick

The Lord and Berry 20100 Maxi Matte Crayon Lipstick is a creamy "super power-pigment" crayon-pencil, matte finish lipstick (most of that I assume you managed to gather from the name) that boasts a nourishing formula that promises to be long-lasting and not to dry out the lips.

It comes packaged in a chunky, shiny black pencil with a transparent plastic lid to cover the tip which is great to see the shade inside. The end of the pencil is also the shade of the lipstick inside and I find that it is an accurate representation of the colour (you know that sometimes they aren't).

Hi all!

Today is just a quick post to explain why I've been absent from the blog and even Twitter over the last couple of weeks.

I have been feeling unwell again with bad dizzy spells so I've been struggling to concentrate and get stuff done without feeling like I'm about to fall over. I haven't disappeared from the blog and I'm going to try to focus on getting some presence back on Twitter, but please don't think that Beautifinous as a blog has disappeared because it hasn't.

I will, however, be taking a break until I feel well enough to get my head back in the game.

Thank you all for being amazing readers of the blog, I love you all!
