Everything seems to be happening so quickly at the moment I
mean how is it a week until Christmas? I was meant to put this post together
last week but completely ran out of time and I fell ill as well, typical right?!
Well anyway, it’s 11.50pm on Saturday night and this has
been the first chance to actually sit down and write this post and as you’ve probably
guessed from the title, it’s my Christmas gift guide! Well maybe a last minute
gift guide now…
I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again there has never been
a Smashbox product I’ve tried and not liked. I am so happy I’ve discovered this
brand and I have a list as long as my arm of other Smashbox products I want to
try. This set is a great little starter kit to introduce you to Smashbox and it
contains a bronzer, two blusher shades and a highlighting shade, which you can
use on your face, lips and cheeks. If you missed my post about my favourite Smashbox products,
you can check it out here.
Ted Baker is one of my favourite brands and I love the gift
sets they bring out at Christmas in Boots. This soap immediately caught my eye
because first of all it comes with a ROSE GOLD dish (which is every bloggers
dream) and the packaging is beautiful too. It comes in at £8 and is on Boots 3
for 2 offer as well to help you save a few pennies!
Pom Pom Key Ring - £4.99 from New Look
Okay so this might not be a beauty gift, but it is a very
useful gift if you always lose things (like myself!) I attached this pom pom
key ring to my car keys and it’s so useful for finding them in your handbag and
it comes in at under £5 too!
Missguided Beauty Lip and Nail Duo - £5 from Boots
For about the past year, I’ve wondered when Missguided will
branch into beauty and this Christmas they’ve brought out gift sets, which are
sold online on their site and also in Boots. I knew I had to pick one of these
up as they’re a great stocking filler gift. This set is great for when you’re
on the go as you can paint your nails and make sure you’ve got your lipgloss
sorted too.
Seventeen Blend + Blur Brush Collection - £12 from Boots
Another gift on the Boots 3 for 2, this set from Seventeen
is just stunning! I absolutely love how it’s holographic and the brushes are
great quality too. This set comes with 3 eye brushes, 1 cheek brush and a lip brush,
which makes this set super practical. The only thing missing in this set is a
foundation brush though! I think this is a great gift for someone starting out
with make-up or just if you want to increase your make-up brushes collection!
Bee Good Lip Balm Trio - £10 from Beauty Expert
If there’s going to a beauty gift, which is suitable for any woman, it’s a lip balm set. Who doesn’t have chapped lips in winter? This set includes the scent ‘Vanilla and Honey’ and ‘Raspberry White Chocolate’ and ‘Lime Blossom & Honey’ lip balms.
Birchbox December Beauty Box - £10 + £2.95 postage
If you’re looking for a varied beauty gift, then I’d
recommend picking up a beauty box and this month’s Birchbox has really caught
my eye. It includes make-up; skincare and hair care so you cover all bases too
and each box this month includes a full size Ciate eyeliner! And for a limited
time you can get 15% off all subscriptions with the code ‘PERFECTGIFT’.
Soap and Glory hands down create the best smelling products
EVER. I absolutely love the smell of any Soap and Glory product and they create
the most gorgeous gift sets for Boots at Christmas. This set is a great
stocking filler as who doesn’t need for hand cream and foot cream? This set
really doesn’t break the bank as it’s only £5 as well.
Body Shop Spiced Apple Shower Gel, Foaming Bath and Lip Balm - £5, £10 and £4
Is there anything better then Body Shop products? When it
comes to pampering myself and having a pamper evening, the first thing I do is
use my favourite products from The Body Shop. Remember the Pina Colada range? I
was absolutely obsessed with it and right now I’m obsessed with the spiced
apple range it just smells like Christmas in a bottle!
Face by Sam and Nic Chapman - £10 from Amazon
As soon as I watched the Pixiwoo video announcing they were
creating a book, I knew I had to have it in my life! I’ve learnt so much about
make-up from reading this and it’s a great coffee table book too. I think this
is a great gift for any beauty lover.
