That Beauty Christmas Wishlist

That Beauty Christmas Wishlist





No clue what you want for Christmas? Here are my top beauty favourites for Christmas. 

1) Nars Virtual Domination Cheek Palette -  £45. This cheek palette includes two limited edition blushes 'Sex Fantasy' and 'Final Cut' while also including the much loved 'Deep Throat' blush. Along with that it also has the 'Miss Liberty' highlighting blush and Nars most loved 'Laguna' bronzer. If you bought each of these products separately it would cost you a whooping £117. 


2) Rose Golden Luxury Set - £55. I think these might be the most stunning set of brushes I have ever laid my eyes on. The eight most essential brushes you will need to make your make up look amazing. It includes the well known brushes such as the '102 Silk Finish', '127 Luxe Sheer Cheek' and the '227 Soft Definer'. Separately these would cost you £68 saving yourself £13! 

3) M.A.C Keepsakes : Face - £42. These come in either a natural face palette or a smoky face palette. They each include three eye shadows, one Iridescent Pressed Powder, a Cream Colour Base and two Lipsticks. These are so handy for travelling because they are so compact with all of your needs. The natural contains the lip colours 'Sass' and 'Eloquence' while the smoky face includes 'Evening Posh' and 'Petulance'.

4) Lorac Pro Palette  - £28.44. This palette has just become a lot easy to grab hold of here in the UK due to Nordstrom delivering here just in time for Christmas. This palette is incredibly similar to the Naked ones however if you're more of a matte kinda girl this is probably more for you. It contains eight matte eyeshadows and eight shimmer eyeshadows which is in comparison to the three matte eyeshadows in the Naked palettes.

5) Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot  - £29.50. I think this has all the blushers you could ever want. It includes the blushes; 'Dandelion', 'Sugarbomb', 'CORALista', 'Bella Bamba' and of course 'Rockateur'. Alongside the blushes there is the amazing benefit 'Hoola' bronzer and finally to add some glow to your cheeks there is the 'Watt's Up' highlighter. This set comes to the value of £65.94 therefore saving yourself or a massive £35. 

6) Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium - £55.35. This YSL perfume has been a bloggers favourite as of late. It has a sexy and spicy scent to it which is perfect for them cold winter evenings. The black bottle compliments the scent so well. I think this is going to be a popular one this coming Christmas.

7) Naked On The Run - £37. This is the newest one to the Naked collection however this time its a travel sized kit with everything you should need. It includes six brand new eyeshadows; 'Diva', 'Fix', 'Resist', 'Dare', 'Stun' and '5050'. Alongside that it also includes a full size Ultra Nourishing Lipgloss a bronzer, blush and a travel sized 'Perversion' Mascara. If you're planning on travelling throughout 2015 this might be perfect for you. 

8) M.A.C Keepsakes: Eye and Lip Palette £45. This set includes all the posh metallics you could ever want. In contains a stunning silver lip and eye bag. Which features its own little quad of metallic eyeshadows in some stunning shades. Alongside that there is also a mineralise lipstick in 'Dreaminess' and a lipgloss in 'Modern Romance'. Both which are gorgeous pink shades.

9) M.A.C Keepsakes Eyes - £32. All of these are actually sold out on the Mac website, so you might need to snoop around your local Mac counter to find one. These come in three shades Beige Eyes, Smoky Eyes and Plum eyes. They all include eight eye shadows and a double ended '213 fluffy brush' and '266 small angled brush'. The beige one includes 'Omega', while the smoky one includes 'Satin Taupe' and the plum one includes 'Taupeless'.

Hope you enjoyed this one!

The Christmas Tag

Monday 17 November 2014
I've seen this tag floating around for some time, so I thought why not have a go. I originally saw it on MilkBubbleTea so give hers a read while you are at it. So here I am having a go at the Christmas Tag. 





1. What is your favourite Christmas movie?
My favourite Christmas move has to be Miracle on 34th Street. I absolutely adore this film and I think it was one of the first Christmas movies I ever saw. This film absolutely captures the essence of christmas and family which is why its a must for me. 

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve of Christmas morning?
When my brother and I were younger on Christmas Eve we used to be able to open a small present from our friends but now were older and I'm usually working we don't do it, we now open them all on Christmas morning. My family is one of them families who open them as soon as we wake up... even though I'm almost 19 I wouldn't be able to wait.  

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
One year my parents moved the Christmas presents from the front room to the conservatory and when my brother and I walked into the front room we got scared because the presents weren't there... my brother even started to cry! 

4. Favourite festive food?
Last year was the first year of being a vegetarian at Christmas and it was so weird not eating the meat however I still do love the Christmas lunch. However the desserts my gran does are heavenly. I think my favourite is the Christmas pudding and fruit salad. 

5. Favourite Christmas gift?
Over the years I have had some amazing Christmas presents but I think my favourite was either my Michael Kors handbag I got last year on my ipod I got about 5 years ago. I used it none stop till it broke. 

6. Favourite Christmas scent?
My absolutely favourite Christmas scent has got to me my Yankee Candle in Snowflake Cookie, it is the sweetest smell ever but I absolutely adore it. My house smells of it because I'm always burning it. Along with that I do love the smell of Gingerbread... I love anything that is gingerbread. 

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
When we were younger my brother and I used to have one friend around our house in the evening. However last year I was working in the afternoon so in the morning my dad and I do what we usually do on Christmas Eve which is search for my mums Christmas present (yes my dad leaves it to Christmas Eve.) Another Christmas Eve tradition that I love is that my dad and I go to my grandparents and see them the reason we go up there is to exchange the presents for the morning but I just like going up there to see everyone seeing as I only see them a couple times a year now. 

9. As a kid, what was the gift you always wanted but never received?
I'm not sure I think I got most things that I asked for. Actually I think I asked for some baby that wee'd itself but my dad wouldn't buy it for me because of the amount of mess it would make! 

10. What’s the best part of Christmas for you?
Considering I hardly see the majority of my family like that, I am actually really excited to see everyone. Some of my family live in France and every other Christmas they come over so I am excited to see them this year as I only see them about once a year. Along with that it has to be the Christmas sales. 

I really enjoyed this tag, I hope you enjoyed reading it!
