MAKE UP FOR CHRISTMAS

As a girl i can safely say, I love receiving make up. I don’t find it offensive. It is my art. It is my daily creativity unleashed through drawing on my face. I know there are lots more men and women on the planet that agree with me. For all of those people in the world, this make up gift guide is for you. Treat yourself or pop these goodies on your Christmas Wish List, even send this post on to your friends, family, special someone as a hint 😉 . Enjoy this make up heavy blog post.

THE GIFT SET

Oh Christmas, the time for gift sets galore. Gift sets have never been chicer! Look no further than these insanely fabulous make up gift sets. Rodin Olio Lusso have this seriously classy gold spotted lipstick set which makes me smile from ear to ear. This would be perfect for the girl that has everything. They also have a lovely similarly packaged gift set with face oils inside.
I love Laura Geller make up. The quality is always great and everything I have ever used always has a great pigmentation to it. I am still using  these beautiful creamy eyeliners that I wrote about back in March which have proved a hit on my Pinterest account. I have always loved Kajal eyeliners for the same reason, they are so heavy in pigmentation and last a blummin’ long time. I tested these on my hand and they did not budge all day. I had to use my make up remover to take them off. This gift set has a great array of colours which are all usable. New York The Ultimate Kajal Longwear Eyeliner.
E.L.F. have amazing affordable make up products. This gift set is such a bargain and I am in love with the colours in the palette. The Rose Gold Look Set is currently on sale in Superdrug…what are you waiting for?

THE PALETTES

I am such a fan of make up palettes. Apart from struggling to spell the word palette for many years (anyone else?) I loved the fact you can travel with so many colours all under one lid. I have always loved Too Faced palettes. The chocolate and peach palettes are firm favourites but this Christmas I am going to be glued to the Sugar Cookie palette, it is perfectly compact as well so will make the perfect travel companion. I have always dreamed of owning a slice of Zoeva make up and I have finally got my hands on the Zoeva All Night Long Palette and it did not disappoint. Full of an insane amount of pigment with every brush stroke this palette is going to last you a very long time. The colours are party perfect so I think you should treat yourself to this gem rather than put it on your Christmas list.

THE TREATS

This ART DECO Crystal Beauty Dust is the most magical item of beauty goodness that I have every laid my hands upon. Even my husband cooed at its existence.  I wish I owned a beautiful traditional make up table that I could place this beauty dust on for permanent display. This dust can be beautifully spritzed over your hair, your face, your arms and legs. Walk around as your very own Tinkerbell. I have discussed my love for Kure polishes on many other occasions here. This year they have a perfectly formed Kure Bazaar Nail Polish Gift Set which is the perfect gift for the eco-concious set. Kure is a self proclaimed eco-trendy nail polish that is not tested on animals!

Which item is your favourite? Are you lucky enough to already own any of these beautiful make up items?

NAILS

Are you ready for a story? (if not, skip one paragraph 😉 )
…A couple of months ago I headed to the John Lewis Christmas 2017 launch press day and I was treated to a manicure by Nails Inc. They used the pinky polish seen in the image below called ‘Prep For Poppin”. It is the perfect nudey pink which made my heart flutter with delight. My time at the event was speedy and I had to fly off to another appointment. In typical me fashion I quickly ruined my manicure much to my dismay. I then messaged the lovely PR girls and asked what the polish was called and they saif ‘Prep For Poppin’ was only available in their Christmas gift set exclusively sold in their store. The product wasn’t even launched yet…so sad. I jumped with delight when they send me the gift set the following week. I knew I was going to be blogging it but I couldn’t help myself but use it, A LOT. To take the below shot I had to shake the bottle up and quickly shoot it because it’s not exactly full anymore. Few…well there you go, go buy yourself some, forget gifting, gift for yourself 😉 It even comes in this lovely ‘Prosecco Made Me Do It’ wash bag.
I have used Leighton Denny polishes for a really long time. There’s something about the brand that feels very honest and reliable with their nail quality…hmmm, does anyone else get that? Anyway, the gift set which you can see in my featured image is an absolute bargain and full of beautiful Christmas glittery shades which any girly girl would be thrilled with. Actually you need it for the Christmas party season so maybe go and buy it for yourself.

MAKE UP

Oh how in love am I with these two items…like literally sooo in love that I can’t quite express my excitement at the goodies. Laura Geller have placed their stunning highlighter in a bauble which is light enough to hang on the tree…whoop whoop, not many other beauty baubles have been light enough to actually hang on a tree. The highlighter is out of this world stunning. This highlighter with have your cheek bones glistening in the fairy lights making you the belle of the ball. If you are a long time reader of my blog you will know that I love Too Faced make up. I love how all of their products are jovial…I mean, not many brands are going to be brave enough to name one of their products, ‘Better Than Sex‘.

LUXE GIFT SETS

The GHD bauble is absolutely perfect for the kinda girl or boy who really appreciates their hair. The Split End therapy product is really intensive and great for your hair. This bauble is not the sort you would hang on your tree though…it is rather large and heavy, perfect for a higher priced Secret Santa gift. This Sukin gift set is a lovely 1 stop shop for a full facial. Sukin as a company are 10 years old and have a great ethos of using sustainable and natural ingredients. I hadn’t heard of them until recently as they are much bigger in Australia. A huge amount of their range is on Look Fantastic so we can now easily get our hands on the natural goodies with no postage fee.
