Christmas Gift Guide For Her- 12 Days of Blogmas Day #1

Hey guys,

Last year I wrote a post where I shared some gift ideas for women and a few people found it quite helpful so I decided to do all 4 of my gift guides again! I hope you enjoy!

SPORTY

 

 

I have chosen the FitBit Flex Wristband. FitBit has suddenly became the 'it' brand this year and I personally think that if you know someone who enjoys doing sport and staying active then this would be a brilliant gift for them! It retails at £79.99 and you can by it here.

 

CAFFEINE-AHOLIC

This is the Tassimo Charmy coffee machine. Last year, I received a Tassimo machine and it has been absolutely amazing! You can get Costa, Cadbury's, Kenco and even Oreo pods for it! This specific machine retails at £139.99 but you can get cheaper ones and can buy this one here.

 

CANDLE LOVER

MAKE-UP JUNKIE

 

 

This is definitely on my Christmas wish-list this year! The Naked Smoky palette is the newest eye-shadow palette from Urban Decay and it is gorgeous! It costs £38.00 and can be bought here.

 

FRAGRANCE IDEA

 

 

This is La Vie Est Belle which is a lovely fragrance by Lancome which my mum has been obsessing over this year, it has a gorgeous yet minimal bottle and has a really nice scent to it. The 30ml bottle costs £45 and can be bought here!

 

FASHIONISTA

 

 

This is the Ladie's DKNY Chambers Ceramic Chronograph Watch. I think that this is such a beautiful but also quite neutral watch that would look amazing with every outfit! It costs £177 from Watch shop and here is the link.

 

BEAUTY JUNKIE

 

 

This is Soap and Glory's biggest set this set and it is great this year. Included in this gift is: Clean On Me shower cream, Sugar Crush body buffer, Righteous Butter body butter, Hand Food hand cream, Heel Genius foot cream, Thick and Fast mascara, Righteous Butter tinted body lotion, Sexy Mother Pucker lip gloss and a make-up bag. It costs £60 and is available here.

 

BOOK-WORM

Empties #8!

Hey guys,

I am well aware that I have only just done an empties post however I recently sorted out my makeup and found a lot of used up makeup that was sitting in my collection so I decided to do another one early and begin collecting for number 9!

The first two foundations are both Rimmel Match Perfection however in different shades as I mix them together. I LOVE this foundation and would really recommend this!

The concealer is Natural Collection concealer, this is really old and to be honest it never really did that much.

My next bottle is Scrub Of My Life by Soap And Glory. The scent of this is amazing and I love it, the exfoliating beads are a great size as well and overall I really like this product.

The shower gel is Happy Time by Nivea. This is my favourite shower gel of all time. It is so citrusy as well as creamy and I am using another bottle.

BareMinerals Powder Foundation is the next thing. I really like this product on days when I do not want a lot of coverage or over a BB cream if I do want coverage, it is so amazing and as it is a powder it means it will not look cakey with powder over it!

No7 Essentially Natural Foundation was my first proper foundation and it was really good, it didn't have a lot of coverage but it was really bendable and great for a first foundation.

The black bottle is a liquid liner by MUA in Black. This product had a really watery consistency however the brush was really good.

The next liquid iner is 17 Starry Eyes, this is really glittery. I remember wearing this for when I saw Jessie J and I thought it was really good for special occasions however the brush is quite fat.

MOTD: Ciate Flowers

Hey guys,

So, I am NOT  the best at nails or nail art but for Christmas a friend got me a set by Ciate where you can put real flowers on my nails and it is super easy!

 

Here is what my nails turned out like!

 

I started off with a base coat of this Boots Shine Solution before applying the Tanya Burr nail polish in Bright and Early. Using the tweezers that came in the set, I placed a blue flower and my nail and filed it to size before applying a couple of coats of the Ciate Speed Dry Top Coat.

 

Hope you enjoyed this post and I will see you very soon,

Empties #7!

Hey guys,

Once again, I am going to be showing you my rubbish that I have been collecting recently!

The shampoo and conditioner set is L'Oreal Elvive extraordinary oil! They made my hair feel really soft when I was using them and I would say to buy them however I had no shine to my hair so I have now got a new set when adds a healthy shine to my hair.

The foundation is Collection Lasting Perfection Foundation. As you probably know by now, I LOVE the concealer and the foundation was also really cheap and it was OK, I found it coming off and the "lasting" power wasn't great however I would say to get it if you were on a budget.

The powder is the Collection Lasting Perfection Powder. (Yes, I  bought the collection.) I would also not recommend this as it didn't really mattify my face however I do have really oily skin so it may work if you have dry skin. I am going to stick to my Rimmel Stay Matte though!

The deodorant is Mitchum Powder Fresh Anti-Perspirant Deodorant which is great and I have repurchased this loads! It also smells really nice for a deodorant. It is also amazing for summer!

I also used up The Simple Cleansing Wipes. I do not use these to remove my make-up from my face but they are amazing at getting rid of all the make-up from my hands when I do swatches for my blog or YouTube!

My Garnier Micellar Water spilt and I was devastated! I really love this product and I am going to repurchase it but as I did love it I thought I should still feature it here. It got off loads of my make-up in one swoosh across my face and I found it so cheap for how many uses you would get out of the bottle!

The last bottle is a shower gel, it is the Bayliss and Harding Sweet Grapefruit and Mandarin one and I love it. It is the second time I have used this shower gel because I really like the smell of it as it is super sweet but also citrusy!

I hope you still like my Empties posts, talk to you soon!

First Impressions: Mac Lipstick in Angel

Hey guys,

 

I picked this up at Duty Free and thought I would share my initial thoughts with you!

 

 

It is a frost lipstick.

 

Just to remember how to spell it!

 

Looks beautiful in the bullet.

 

It is a nude-pink which is quite pale so really compliments my skin tone.

 

I'm on the plane so my lips are dry and I have no make-up on!

 

So fra, I have really been loving it so would recommend it to all of you!
