Roger & Gallet Christmas Gift Ideas

Roger & Gallet are one of my favourite brands for fragrances and hand creams and these two products would make such great gifts. This is one of those brands which is suitable for so many ages as myself, mum and nan all love their products! Roger and Gallet have so many different scents too that you are bound to fall in love with one.

Tina Earnshaw is known for work on films such as the Titanic and Marley and Me and her client list includes the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Winslet. Tina appreciates good quality makeup brushes for her work which inspired her to create her own range of brushes consisting of 21 brushes of incredible quality.

November 2016 Favourites

I can't believe that it is already December tomorrow - this month has flown by! I am so excited for the 'official' start of Christmas even though my tree has been up for a week and I have been listening to Christmas music since September. This past month I have rediscovered an old holy grail product and have all other new product favourites which I hadn't even tried until this month!

Jack Wills Blanket Scarf Gift

I have always been a fan of Jack Wills clothing and when they first launched their beauty range at Boots, I was all over it! This year Jack Wills has seriously upped their Christmas gift set game and have a really good selection of gift sets for every price range, they even have an Advent Calendar this year! This gift set in particular was a star gift a few weeks ago so if you managed to pick it up then you got a good deal there!

Margaret Dabbs Christmas Gifting

I have always heard such good things about the Margaret Dabbs brand so I was excited to try out two of the Christmas gifting options this year, both of which are beautifully packaged and super festive! Each of these beauty treats is under £15 which I think is very affordable for such great quality products, I can't wait to try out some more products from the brand next!

Christmas Party Lip Picks with Elizabeth Arden

It's time to get the products ready for party season! These three lip products are perfect for any Christmas event coming up and I know I will be using them a tonne and always keeping them in my handbag to switch my makeup from day to night and be party ready! You really can't go wrong with Elizabeth Arden products and I love these formulations.

NUGG Christmas Stocking Fillers

I am a huge fan of NUGG products and these two would make such great stocking fillers. I love a face mask and you can't go wrong with the ones from NUGG. I love that they some in individual portions so you get the perfect amount and I have found that you can usually get a couple of uses out of one mask if you can seal it well!

Urban Decay Razor Sharp Liners (+ Swatches)

I am an eyeliner feen, I just can't get enough of liquid eyeliners and without fail, I use one every time I wear makeup as I can't be without a wing. These are one of the newer launches from Urban Decay and I couldn't wait to try them out and see what all the hype was about. And as they aren't shades I would typically go for, I had a lot of fun playing around with them and creating different kinds of makeup looks.

Christmas Beauty Gifts Under £10

I love finding good affordable beauty gifts at Christmas, I love adding little things like this to another gift to give as I like to always add a little something extra! This selection of beauty gifts are all under £10 and many even under £5/6 making them so affordable. Any of these gifts would make a great stocking filler too!

Christmas Nails with Annika

Annika is a nail polish brand I was introduced to a few months ago and I do really like their nail polishes, and that says something as I am quite fussy! This selection of products is perfect to get your nails all festive and ready for Christmas from festive favourite shades and cute snowflake stickers and glitter!

Hydrating Hair Heroes

My hair is so dry at the moment and this selection of products has really helped inject some life and moisture back into my hair! My hair is extremely long, coloured and I use heat on it daily so I always need all the help I can get but I like to make sure no products I use in my hair will weigh my hair down.

Bloom and Wild x Birchbox || #TinyTree

I have always wanted to try out the Bloom and Wild service as I have always heard good things and who doesn't want fresh flowers delivered through their letterbox!? Bloom and Wild and Birchbox have teamed up to create a fantastic Christmas gift to treat yourself to or to gift to someone who you might not be able to make it to see this Christmas.

NARS World Duty Free Exclusives

I love NARS products but I don't own all that many. These two sets, exclusive to World Duty Free, are such great value for money and are a fantastic way to try out the brand. One of these sets in particular is going to be great for travelling as it has so many products in one compact! Definitely check out the NARS sets next time you are going through the airport.

Urban Decay Ultimate Basics Palette (+ Swatches)

I am not usually a fan of all matte palettes and I had Naked 2 palette previously and found I didn't use it as much as I wanted to. But with this palette I have been obsessed and have used a least one or two shades every single day. I love Urban Decay palettes and this one is no different.

Christmas Present Swap with I Just Love It

I got to take part in a Christmas present exchange with another blogger with I Just Love It. I was paired with one of my favourites, The Kats Paws and we got to pick a few gifts for each other which were then delivered to us as a surprise and funnily enough - we even picked each other one of the same things!

Blank Canvas Metallic Gold Brushes

Makeup brushes are a part of my collection that is really lacking, I just don't seem to have enough! After I fell in love with one of the Blank Canvas Eyeshadow Palettes, I was really excited to try out these new brushes from the brand. I have got so much use out of these two brushes since they arrived and I definitely want to get a few more!

Mad Beauty 12 Days of Christmas (Advent Calendar) + Contents

Beauty advent calendars are taking over this Christmas and with so many there really is one for every price range. This is one of the more affordable options this year and has a great contents and would be lovely to open every other day in the run up to Christmas Day. I have been trying out a few products from Mad Beauty recently and everything smells wonderful.

Christmas Gifts with L'Occitane

When it comes to Christmas gifting, I don't think you can go wrong with L'Occitane. They are a well-trusted brand and have a gift set for anybody in your life and this year they have some great Christmas offerings and I have picked and a couple of my favourites! I am definitely going to be picking up a few to gift this holiday season as well as hoping for one under the tree for myself!

Zoeva Pure Lacquer Box Set (+ Swatches)

Zoeva is seriously killing it with their lip product new launches and I am obsessed with them. If you read my recent review on the Pure Velour Lip Box, you will know I was a huge fan and it's no different with these. While Zoeva is most popular for their makeup brushes, you won't want to miss out on these.

Laura Geller Merry & Bright 3 Piece Hydrating Colour Set

I have always wanted to try out Laura Geller products so there was no better time than Christmas with all of the fantastic gift sets available! This little cute kit comes with three different products from the brand to give you a feel of the products and I love the selection included and I have been really enjoying using them.

Face Mask Monday (Mini Reviews)

I love trying out face masks and I hadn't tried any of these four previously. I always grab sheet masks over more traditional masks as they are so much easier to use and fuss free. These four are pretty affordable too and are great for a quick skincare pick me up!

KIKO Christmas Collection 2016

I am a huge fan of the limited edition collections from KIKO, I still use products every day from the Summer collection and the Neo Noir Collection. The Christmas collection from KIKO for this holiday season in true KIKO style, has such lovely packaging and a great range of products so you are bound to find a product for you.

Zoeva Pure Velours Box Set (+ Swatches)

It's no secret how much I love the Zoeva brushes and I really do like quite a few of their makeup products as well. When I first saw these were launching, I was really wanting to give them a try as I was yet to find a liquid lipstick formula that I like but these have to be one of the best formulas on the beauty market at the moment.

Benecos Orange and Sea Buckthorn Gift Set

This year, I have been really liking Benecos products and this Christmas gift set is beautifully presented and ready to gift! This is one of those gift sets that anyone will love and it is actually a useful gift that you know will get used throughout the year. If you have been reading my blog for a while, you will know how much I love Christmas and I am obsessed with the packaging!

Real Techniques Bold Metals Spotlight Essentials

I have always been a huge fan of Real Techniques so when the Bold Metals line was first launched, I got one of the eye brushes and I found I didn't use it much. However these three brushes have already got so much use in the time that I have had them and they would make such a lovely gift this Christmas - not long to go now!

Dr Paw Paw Multipurpose Balms

Dr Paw Paw Balms are such a raved about product and I can't believe I have only just got round to trying them now! These balms have so many different uses and the new limited edition version is perfect for the upcoming Christmas season. If you haven't tried Dr PAW PAW yet...now is your chance!

Elegant Touch House of Holland Hair Accessories

I have very dark, almost black hair, which no matter what I do with it, you can never see it and as it is so long I can never really be bothered to style it. These hair accessories are the newest launch from the House of Holland and Elegant Touch collaboration and I have been wearing thenon-stoptop since they arrived.

Lush Star Dust Bath Bomb Review (+ DEMO)

It's time for another Lush Christmas review with demo! I have slowly been working my way through my huge haul - you can check that out here. And I was pretty excited to try out the Star Dust Bath Bomb as I couldn't quite remember if I had had this one in the past or not but I did really enjoy using it and will probably repurchase.

Look Incredible Deluxe Box (November 2016)

There are so many beauty boxes on the market at the moment, that it is difficult to know which one to chose! Look Incredible's beauty box has to be one of the best ones on the market and I couldn't wait to see what was in the November 2016 deluxe box! If you love beauty boxes but never know which one to go for, check out Which Beauty Box - HERE as I spend hours going through it every couple of weeks seeing what's inside each of the boxes.

MAC Nutcracker Sweet Red Lip Gloss Set (+ Swatches)

I haven't been this interested in MAC products in a long time but this collection is seriously cute and I have already got my eyes on a few more sets! This is the Nutcracker Sweet collection for Christmas this year which includes a bunch of mini sets (all great value for money) as well as individual products and beautiful face compacts.

So Eco Stippling Brush

At the moment, I am obsessed with stippling brushes and I use them for so many different products! Years ago I would only apply my foundation with one and I am finally back to using one again for foundation and more thanks to this brush from So Eco. This isn't a brand I had tried before but it is actually stocked in my local Tesco store which is fab as I know I am going to want to pick up a few more brushes soon.

Lancome L'Absolu Rouge Lipsticks

Lip products are my weakness, I have a draw full but there is always room for more. I am a huge fan of the Juicy Shakers from Lancome, I use one every single day and I have almost finished one so I was really excited to try out these new lipsticks. These aren't the type of shades I would usually go for but I am so glad I received them as I have been wearing them so much already!

House of Ho Ho Ho Nails (Elegant Touch)

I am a huge fan of the Elegant Touch and House of Holland collaborations and these nails are perfect to get you in the festive spirit! I must admit that these two designs are my favourites out of all of the previous years, I feel they have been massively stepped up! You really can't beat these nails for the price.

Tuscany Candle Candy Apple Candle

I am a candle addict, especially when it comes to Christmas candles! I have more than enough candles for one person yet I keep growing my little collection! Tuscany Candle are a brand that I had been wanting to try out after seeing it on Instagram and on a couple of other bloggers snap chats and this scent is right up my street.

Festive Scents with Library of Fragrance

I have been wanting to try out the Library of Fragrance perfumes for the longest time and what better time than with Christmas themed scents. Library of Fragrance have a few different Christmas scents and these two are very wearable while being festive! I definitely have to get my hands on Christmas in New York next!

Liz Earle Blockbuster Offer

Liz Earle is by far my favourite skincare brand and this offer has made me incredibly excited! You could easy buy this and split it up into multiple gifts or as one big gift to someone you love this Christmas. If you love Liz Earle like I do, this is not an offer to miss!

Leighton Denny Light & Dark Delightful Perfume

When I think of Leighton Denny, I always think of nail products, I had no idea that he also has fragrances too! I love trying out new perfumes and I have been wearing this one a lot for work recently and if you love a fruity fragrance, I have a feeling you will like this one!

Leigton Denny Light & Dark Delightful Perfume

Lush So White Bath Bomb Review (+ DEMO)

This is one of my all time favourite Lush products so I always have to get a few every year when the Christmas products are released. The So White Bath Bomb has had a bit of a makeover this year and I LOVE the upgrade! I had no idea what this bath bomb was going to do once popped in the bath as I avoided all videos on Instagram and I loved it!

Rimmel The Only 1 Matte Lipsticks (+ Swatches)

I am not usually a fan of matte lipsticks and if you read my last Rimmel review, you will know I wasn't much of a fan of those products. However this is completely different and I am really liking these lipsticks and I might just be converted to matte lipsticks, thanks Rimmel! These are the brand new lipsticks from Rimmel and if you love a matte lip, you need to check out these affordable shades.

Sleek Rockstars Collection (+ Swatches)

I am a huge fan of Sleek products and these have not disappointed! This is the brand new Rockstars Collection which is great for Christmas and beyond. There is a product for every makeup look in this collection and I am totally loving them all. Sleek is such an affordable brand that you really can't go wrong with their products.

Eylure Enchanted After Dark Lash Collection

Eylure and Elegant Touch have recently launched their After Dark collections which are perfect for Autumn and heading into the party season. These four pairs of lashes are going to transform your eyes and give you the best lashes ever. Eylure is actually the only budget brand of lashes I will wear as I have always found them to be the best for the price tag.

How to Get Bath and Body Works in the UK (+ Haul)

Bath and Body Works is one of those shops that I am gutted we don't have in the UK and I would honestly prefer it over a Sephora to be honest or they could at least ship to the UK to make it a bit easier for us brits! I have managed to find some excellent ways to get their products in the UK without spending a complete fortune so I thought I would share how I get the products and a little haul.

Lush Christmas All Time Favourites

Every year when the Lush Christmas collection launches, these are the products that I always pick up without fail. Honestly, if Lush stopped making this four products I would probably throw a tantrum as they are one of my favourite things about Christmas. I only really shop at Lush during the festive period and these are absolute must haves.

MAC Nutcracker Sweet Copper Face Palette (+ Swatches)

As soon as I saw that Whisper of Gilt was coming back, I made it my mission to get my hands on it. I am a huge fan of highlighters but I really don't have that many in my collection so I thought I would invest in this while it is available again. This is from the Christmas collection this year and I must say that I am loving the packaging this year and it is my favourite from the past couple of years, I already have a few other things and more on my 'to buy' list!

Decleor Perfect Radiant Skin Kit

Alongside fragrances, skincare is one of my favourite gifts to receive at Christmas. I love trying out new skincare and us ladies don't always treat ourselves to the best skincare on the market so why not gift it to someone this Christmas who you know will really love it. Skincare is such a useful product as well so you know that it isn't going to be sitting in the back of the cupboard going to waste.

Salon Science Repair and Radiance Hair Care

If there was one product I love trying out besides makeup, it's hair care. I am very fussy when it comes to my hair, I have mentioned this a few times before, but I am always looking for products to keep my fairly damaged, super long hair feeling soft and hydrated. Salon Science is a new brand to me and I have been really enjoying the results since using the Repair and Radiance range.

Elegant Touch Christmas 2016 Nails

I am officially in the Christmas spirit! I always get so excited about the Elegant Touch Christmas nails as I wear them every year and these two limited edition designs are so festive and cute! I don't think it is ever too early to start thinking about Christmas (I have been listening to Christmas music since the end of September) and these nails are perfect to add a little festiveness to any day!

Flamingo Candles Sherry Trifle Candle

If you read my BAH! Humbug review the other day, you will know how obsessed I was with the candle and this one is no different. This is from the Christmas 2016 collection from Flamingo Candles which will be available to purchase in just a few days, it is definitely worth the wait!

First Impressions of Sainsbury's Boutique Makeup Range

Until recently, I had no idea that Sainsbury's had a beauty range - how had I missed it! I have been playing around with these few products and I must say I am impressed. They have some great products from their range and it definitely shouldn't be overlooked, especially if you are on a budget!

Lady Million Perfume Gift Set

Perfumes are one of the best gifts to receive at Christmas I don't know hardly anyone who buys themselves lots of fragrances throughout the year and they are always in such nice gift sets. This is one fragrance that I have wanted for the longest time, I always sniff it in store but never actually purchase it so I am so happy to have it in my collection now.
