Happy Holiday e-cards

It's that time of the year when hearing the letterbox go doesn't always mean bills or junk mail hitting the doormat. Instead it's a time to unveil beautiful cards with lovely messages from friends and family to display on your mantle piece.

In the digital age we live in (plus, I like to think an element of being environmentally friendly), brands are taking on the e-card to design and personify their message to their important Outlook contacts.

From Running In Heels today, this is one of my favourite e-cards I've seen to date. It doesn't have overt branding with conflicting logos against the design aesthetic or messaging, and it would very easily be one I'd display on my 'online mantle piece' (hello Pinterest!)

Beauty Babble: No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum

Brand: No7
Product: Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum 
How to use: "Smooth into your face and neck after cleansing and toning."

Through rose-tinted spectacles...
This serum feels a little like Vaseline on your fingertips before applying to your face which, initially, was a little disconcerting. However, my skin drank this serum in and felt utterly smooth and grease-free shortly afterwards. This would also act as a brilliant primer as it evens out skin, making it feel nourished and smooth in the process. Very light so whilst my skin quickly absorbed it, I think a heavier night cream would be in order.  

Available at Boots, £23 for 30ml
