Selfridges Beauty Advent Calender 2014

Christmas is 3 months away yet little glimpses of it have started to appear, the Christmas sweets are out in force and it's only September. I'm a little ashamed to admit that I have already purchased my first gift of the year, what can I say I like to be organised. Last year I left everything last minute and missed out on getting a beauty calendar, I've never been one for chocolate plus who wouldn't want to open a lovely treat that won't kill your Christmas party dress diet. Today I received a very important email from Selfridges allowing me to sign up to be the first to know when it is on sale. While I can't tell you the cost (start saving 2013's cost £84) I can tell you that the items inside are well worth it. If any of you ladies are looking to indulge yourself this Christmas see the link below.

Selfridges Exclusive: Azature Canary Diamond Lacquer

Luxury diamond jeweller Azature have recently hit the fashion headlines for creating two of the worlds most expensive nail polishes. The first was the stunning Black Diamond manicure which cost a whopping $250,000 dollars and contained 267 carats of real crushed black diamonds. Black Diamond was then made to look cheap by the eye watering Million Dollar Manicure which was worn by one of my fashion idol's Kelly Osbourne. The Million Dollar Manicure contains 98 of Azature white diamonds as well as 1,400 hand chosen diamonds set into the platinum cap. Azature more recently created a more affordable yet still luxurious range for the everyday woman.

I purchased the Azature Canary Diamond polish which is exclusive to Selfridges and is available for $25 or £17 for us Brits and each bottle contains a real black diamond, hows that for luxurious. The bottle is beautiful and the golden yellow liquid looks divine. I can see the tiny little diamond in the bottom of the bottle which excites me even more, i'm a sucker for luxury. The polish itself is very sheer and takes a lot of coats to get a nice opaque covering like the picture below. Once enough coats are applied it looks stunning and there is plenty of shimmer. Due to the amount of polish needed i would definitely consider this a luxury product, but one that is certainly worth the treat. I was lucky enough to find it in the Selfridges sale for just £5 a bottle, so i got it for a steal. I'd love to know what you all think, would you pay £17 for a nail polish or do you think it is all just one big gimmick?
