Here are the details about Hourglass holiday 2011. There are two different variants: for the UK and for the US.

In the UK you can get a set with  three mini Extreme Sheen lip gloss trio in ‘Child’, ‘Siren’ and ‘Ignite’.  You can get it at Liberty for £33.

As for the US,

I’ve already shown you most of the Winter/Holiday 2011 nail polish collections here and here.

And today we have  a preview of two gorgeous collections for Spring 2012. If I am not a huge fan of pastel makeup on myself (which is a huge trend for Spring 2012), I do like some pastel nail polishes.

And I really like this Essie nail polish collection. The pastel lime green is really pretty, I’ll have to get it.

• navigate her, a light, bright green
• a crewed interest, a luminous peach shade
• to buy or not to buy, a lavender with shimmer
• tour de finance, a fuschia with shimmer
• olé caliente, a red-orange with pink undertone
• orange, it’s obvious, orange, a bright orange

And here is also a Holland inspired collection from OPI.

Thanks to Michelle from Beauty Editor (a must-read blog, by the way) for the promo photos. The lovely Mercedez has swatches of the whole OPI collection, so you can check them out here.

Although I love dark nail polishes I am kind of excited for Spring shades, I think I should get some nude and pastel shades for my collection.

Here are some things that caught my attention this week. First of all Illamasqua has some wonderful sets available for  Christmas. You can shop them here.

Secondly, I really liked the work of the Swedish  photographer Morgan Norman.

You can read a feature about him here and watch his works at his website.

I  also really loved this video about

As for the other collection,

I’ve written about Jo Malone’s new brand Jo Loves some time ago and I am happy to let you know that all four fragrances from Jo Loves are already available for the purchase.

I really love that Jo has chosen red and black as her signature colour, there is nothing better than a combo of read and black! There are four fragrances so far, each is 100ml and  retails for £95.

Since I haven’t tried any of them  - here is how Jo describes them.

Pomelo

“Pomelo is clean and crisp; it’s my best friend made up of memories and moments.

 Green Orange & Coriander

It’s incredibly comforting yet at the same time it evokes a real sense of passion and warmth.”

Orange Tulle
