Last Minute Christmas Beauty Gifts

 

 

 

 

 

 

My favourite thing about Christmas is buying and choosing presents to buy for family and friends. Personally, I prefer buying for girls (especially when they like beauty that makes it 10x more fun haha!) So I thought I would do a gift ideas under £15 post so you can pick up any last minute presents that you forgot to buy! Also as these are presents for her, they will mainly be beauty!

Barry M Eye shadow and Blush Palettes
These palettes contain 6 eye shadows and 1 blush shade. I recently picked up the Starry Eyed palette and I am IN LOVE with it, very autumnal and the shades are gorgeous. The Natural Glow Palette is also very nice and will suit anyone as the colours are very wearable, that is if they like eye shadows of course! The packaging of these palettes are also very pretty and are great for £6.50!

 

Victoria Secret Sprays
These photogenic sprays are perfect for any girl who loves fragrances! They aren't too expensive and also smell incredible. My favourite scents are Mango Temptation, Pure Daydream and Love Spell.

Revlon Lip Butters
I'm sure any girl won't mind little presents like lipsticks in their stocking, the Revlon lip butters are a great way to go! There are so many shades to suit any skin tones, there are nudes to dark berry shades. My favourites are Strawberry Shortcake (a pale pink), Sorbet and Berry Smoothie. They are so pigmented and moisturising, I haven't even mentioned how gorgeous the packaging is!

Soap and Glory

Every year boots sell Christmas edition gift sets of soap and glory and their sets are lovely! My friend got me this for Christmas and it contains minis of the best products! Also the box is really cute and this is such a lovely present that I'm sure anyone will enjoy!

Barry M Nail Varnish
If I received these cute Barry M Nail Varnishes I'd be very happy! The colours are stunning and the quality of them are really good as well! I prefer the Gelly Hi-Shine ones to the original ones as I think the formula is better quality! They are also about £3.99 which is an amazing price.

Lip Balms - Baby Lips/ Barry M/ Nivea
Mostly everyone uses lip balms so they're an easy present to get! Especially if you area just getting someone something small, some lip balms would be cute! I really like the Body Shop Lip butters because they're hydration and smell incredible!
 

Februrary Favourites

Hey guys! I hope you're all having a nice day. So somehow we're already 1/4 of the way through the year! February is over so that means it's time for my monthly favourites (even though the last one I did was my October Favourites!) I always find doing monthly favourites really difficult because I often find myself choosing things that I've been loving towards the end of the month. So from now on I'm going to make a list of everything I've been loving through out March! Anyway here are the things I've been loving throughout February.

Victoria Secret Fragrance Mist in Mango Temptation

I purchased this gorgeous body spray at the end of December during the Boxing Day Sales. It's a really pretty pink and stood out to me when I was picking a fragrance. It is by far my favourite out of the VS sprays I own. "Mango, nectar and hibiscus." To be honest I can't really smell any of those in it probably because I don't actually know what they smell like. But to me (the worst person at describing scents) it smells like a juicy, fruity flower. Haha I did say I was bad at describing scents! I have really been loving this as its nice to just whip out and spray all over and walk out the door.

Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream

This BB Cream is so good and I will be reviewing this very soon. This one is for oily skin and I have the shade light which I do think is too pink toned. However it is really lightweightand feels like a moisturiser, yet still provides coverage. I just really like using it as it evens out my skin tone and is super quick and easy to apply. Totally recommend trying this out.

Natural Collection Moisture Shine Lipstick Rose Petal

I've actually had this lipstick for quite a while. But recently I've really been loving it. It's a gorgeous nude with pink undertones. Perfect for spring. It's also really moisturising but I still like to apply a lip balm underneath. This lipstick is nicely pigmented and creamy; if you haven't already, then you should check out Natural Collection lipsticks as theyre only £1.99 but are great quality! Sorry I didn't take a photo of this product (and some other ones) but the lighting went really dark with this lipstick so it didn't look very nice.

Primark P.S Love Lip Gloss Crayon

I included this in my Lip Crayon blog post which you can view here. For £.1.50 this product is surprisingly really nice. Its really glossy and sheer, would've been better if it was more pigmented but I guess that would've made it more expensive haha. I've really been loving this crayon as it's really quick and easy to apply and not to bold.

Collection Super Size Mascara

I have done a review on this mascara so you can read more about that if you click here. This mascara is really natural and lengthening and I've been using it quite a lot. I'm not going to say a lot because I've gone into a lot of detail in my other blogpost.

Real Techniques Deluxe Crease Brush

Last month I used this brush quite a lot especially for concealer under the eyes. I know it is supposed to be used for the crease, but I think it's perfect for blending concealer under my eyes as it's not too big so it doesn't poke me in the eye! Also it is very dense so it really blends well. This brush comes in the Starter Set so unfortunately you can't buy it on its own.

Music

This month I have been loving a few artists such as Lorde, Haim, London Grammar and Miley Cyrus. Saying this, some of my favourite songs have been ones in the charts but I thought that you probably have heard of most of them so these are some different songs. Here are some of my favourites:

Lorde - Team

Haim - The Wire, If I Could Change Your Mind

London Grammar - Strong

Miley Cyrus - Drive, Adore You
