I've been singing Have Yourself a Very Merry Christmas, since I first set eyes on this Clinique gift set. I know that's ridiculous as it is only the start of November after all. Yet there is something so appealing about starting to plan your Christmas shopping and I'm excited about all the gorgeous beauty offerings that are in stores this season.

Channel your inner evil teen this Halloween by taking your lead from the catwalk. Le Freak has never been so chic with models sporting black lipstick, pale skin, zombie eyes and crimped hair at the Autumn/Winter shows this season. Take note though, this look is not about being pretty or glamorous, if that's more your bag then try a cat beauty style instead. 
Since many of you love gift-with-purchase offers, you might be excited about this one: Trina Turk has teamed up with Clinique to design a chic cosmetics bag. Available at Nordstrom from November 5 to November 22, the metallic tiger-print bag comes stocked with a good selection of beauty treats: a cleanser, face cream, mini eye shadow and blush palette, lip gloss, mascara, lipstick and mirrored lipstick case.
The kit is free with a $25 purchase, and the items inside are actually things you'd want.

This Spring/Summer the catwalks were awash with ultra modern makeup looks, from theatrical glitter, to bursts of bright colour. The trend we all actually want to wear though, is going by the name of Rustic Romance. Think fierce, bold brows, rust eye shadow shades and gently blushed cheeks. 
I am such a sucker for Maggie Gyllenhaal's pretty, yet unconventional beauty looks. She always appears kooky and cool – even when her makeup is red-carpet polished. Most of all, she looks like she's having fun. 
Daria Zhukova – Russian former model and girlfriend of Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich – was looking typically stunning at a private dinner hosted by Stella McCartney, at Harvey Nichols, yesterday.
Daria, also known as Dasha, runs her own fashion line – Kova & T – with old schoolfriend from Christina Tang, and has graced the pages of Vogue, not least because of her relationship with Abramovich. I'm sure it has something to do with her absolute gorgeousness too...
