I
had a fantastic Christmas. I'm sure (and hoping) that you all did too. And just
like every previous year, I received some gorgeous Christmas presents, and like
all beauty fanatics, a lot of cosmetics! So I thought I would share them with
you!
These are a selection of
my presents this year - don't worry I won't bore you with a review of them all.
My main (and favourite) present was my iPad Air 2 and my lovely purple spotty
case from my parents. Which I am using right now to blog YAYYY! I also received
some Nicki Minaj tickets from my boyfriend - super exciting. And a gorgeous
river island bag from my sister which I'm sure will make an appearance in a
blog post soon. And like everyone else I received a collection of wine,
chocolates and vouchers.
This is my new TRESemmè
hair dryer from my amazing grandma. Complete with heat protection spray, 4
rollers and changeable heads. I was in desperate need of a new hairdryer as my
old one was on the way out! And this one is perfect! It works really well and is
really powerful. The heat protection spray has the usual TRESemmè scent - which
I love. And I am yet to use the rollers but I'm a big roller fan so I’m sure
they will greatly appreciated.
Here I have a vanilla
candle from my mum, which is in a leopard print, glass holder. Absolutely love
it and it smells gorgeous. I also received this glass tea light candle holder
from my boyfriend which is from ASDA. I love it and can't wait to get some
lovely Yankee tea lights to put in it. The cupcake bath bombs are from my
boyfriends sister along with the wax melts. The melts are from Kaunis Koti
candles, they are a pick n mix bag of handmade wax melts made from 100% Eco soy
wax. They all smells lovely and come in a variety of different shapes. Can't
wait to try them out! And finally my LUSH soap, I bought this myself using some
Christmas money. It's called godmother and cost me £4.77 it smells lovely and
has a slight sparkle to it.
This is a perfume from Next
which I bought myself using a voucher that my boyfriend's grandma got for me.
It cost just £14 for 75ml and smells great it's very sweet like s fruity floral
scent and smells a lot like Cacharel Amor Amor. It is very long
lasting and would be a great day to night perfume.
This is my collection of
No 7 goodies. The Eye Collection box is from my auntie it has a pair of eye
lash curlers which are fantastic. A lash impact intense volume control mascara
in black, a stay perfect amazing eye pencil in black and a stay perfect shade
and define in gunmetal grey which is quite sparkly and I am so excited to try.
It also has a built in sharpener in the base! Then I have my wonderful No 7
boxes set which is from my boyfriend. This contained a bath soak, cleansing
lotion, body wash and a body lotion which is thick and creamy and extremely
moisturising. It also contains a day cream and a night cream which are both
fantastic. The day cream isn't too greasy so you can apply before make up. A
dry skin rescue which you use on really dry patches of your skin which has been
great after this terrible weather and hand cream which is great on the
sensitive skin on my hands. And also a lovely lashes mascara which is lovely
for the day time as it isn't too thick and a BB lips balm in baller in which is
very shiny, neutral and keeps lips very soft. I was so impressed with this box
and if any of you spot it in the sales make sure you pick it up!
This Revlon bag I bought
with my Christmas money which I plan on using in my bag to carry my on the go
make up. I also bought two clay masks from Superdrug. I was also desperate to
try the new B. range from Superdrug so picked up an eyeshadow in nougat which
is quite neutral but sparkly and a blusher in sherbet. The bronzer is also from
Superdrug from the I <3 make up range and is called chocolate desire. The
lip gloss is from Benefit and is in ultra plush. It was from a cracker that my
boyfriend’s sister made for me. It was a great idea and I love it. It smells
lovely and the colour is a lovely neutral colour which everyone would
love.
These body butters I
bought from Boots using my Christmas money. They were half price in the sale
down to £4. They smell amazing and are really creamy.
These I also bought myself
using my Christmas money. The in the buff lightly toasted eye palette which I
have heard so much about and am so excited to try. The I <3 make up you're
gorgeous eye palette which looks great and has such a big selection of matte and
shimmer eye shadows. A max factor lipstick in midnight plum which is a purpley
red which is great for the rest of the winter months and Rimmel Kate lipstick
in 33. It's very pink but applies do nicely and is very creamy.
A MAC eyeshadow palette
from my boyfriends mum which I absolutely LOVE. Its great for creating all
kinds of looks. Definitely worth a buy.
A ted baker nail varnish
set from my boyfriend. It contains 3 varnishes, a set of nail wraps and a nail
art pen.
A revolution lip set also
from my boyfriend. I love this. It contains 3 lip pencils, a gloss and a
mirror. The pencils are in 3 very different colours. A bright red, a bright
pink and an orangey red. Can't wait to try them out!
This is a Retox pamper
pack that I received from my friend in secret Santa. It contains eye gel pads,
foot cream, a hair mask and a face mask. I am so so so excited to try these
especially as I had never heard of it before.
This benefit set is from
my brother. I am so excited to try this as I haven't tried a lot of benefit
products before but have heard some wonderful things about them. It contains
the porefessional which I am yet to try, some eye shadows, hoopla which I am
yet to try, and a lip gloss. It also contains the they're real mascara which I
adore so I am very pleased to get some more of it. The tin is so cute!
