The month of full Christmas shenanigans has begun, and I can’t quite believe we are at this time of the year already. I’m still mentally in March TBH. With Christmas on its way I thought I would give you some inspirations with Christmas presents. So if you’re struggling with what to get your sister, Mum, friend or girlfriend then keep reading!
There are SO many great makeup sets that brands have made for Christmas. They are usually cheaper than buying all the products separately and the festive packaging they come in is an extra bonus!
Anastasia Beverly Hills absolutely nail it when it comes to eyeshadow. This brand is one of my faves when it comes to makeup. They have released two Christmas this year that I couldn’t not share with you.
First is the Soft Glam Luxe Set which includes the soft glam eyeshadow palette and two minis - a lash brag mascara and nude toned lip gloss. I already have this palette and absolutely love it for everyday and for full glam. This set is £47.
Second is the Sultry Eyeshadow Palette Vault. In this you receive the sultry eyeshadow palette, full size lash brag mascara, liquid eyeliner and a mini eye primer. Not only does the packaging look divine coming in a glitter vault it is currently £49.55 on beauty bay! Would be rude not to really wouldn’t it…
Benefit is another brand I love and they smash the Christmas sets year on year. They also release a ton of different sets at different prices to suit a plethora of budgets. They range from £13.50 to £46.50. These are a few of my favourites from their Christmas collection.
The £13.50 ones come in the cutest little Christmas cracker and include 3 minis. 'Hoola' bronzer, 'They’re real' mascara and the ‘pore fessional' primer or benetint, bad gal bang mascara and gimme brow.
The next set up costs £28.50 which is still an absolute bargain for what you get included! It includes full size 'bad gal bang' mascara, 'Hoola' bronzer and mini pore sessional primer, they also have another version of this set with the 'Hoola' bronzer swapped out for the 'Dandelion' blusher.
Finally they’re biggest set this year is £48.50 and it includes full size products of the 'bad gal bang' mascara, 'Hoola' bronzer, 'Pore fessional' primer and 'precisely my brow' pencil!
The final makeup set I want to share with you is from Charlotte Tilbury. This is a more expensive choice at £165 but what is included is divine! It is the 'Pillow Talk' collection, including a 4 pan eyeshadow palette, ‘classic brown’ eyeliner, 'full fat lashes' mascara, 'cheek to chic' blusher, lip cheat lip liner and lipstick all in shades ‘pillow talk’. There is also a ‘deep’ version of this set which includes all the same products but the colours more intense.
There is no better gift than skincare treats. Face masks, skin peels, under eye creams the whole lot - what’s not to love about being able to give yourself an evening of self care?
The Ordinary are an unreal skincare brand and are kind to the budget as well. 3 products that would be perfect for the girls in your life would be the AHA + BHA peeling solution and is only £6.30. Next is the caffeine drops for under eyes which reduces the look of dark circles and puffiness costing £5.80. The final product is their salicylic acid masque at £9.90 which works to get rid and prevent blackheads.
What girl doesn’t love a face mask? These are a few of my faves that I have used in the past:
Anatomicals are SO cheap and so good. They have so many to choose from, starting from just £1. I have used their face masks for years and I love them!
Under eye and lip ones, are a must. These under eye ones looked super cute.
This set I thought was fab! You get so 10 face masks included and it is reduced from £50 to £30!
Espa sets are perfect for the mumsies. I have got my mum one of these sets for the past 2 years as she absolutely loves them. Their products give you that spa feeling from home, what’s not to love? This set is £30 and includes and pulse oil, lip balm and hand cream.
Perfume is another great gift. Especially if you know their go to scent. Also around Christmas you can find a lot of perfume gift sets which is ideal! Some of my fave scents are:
The Armani Si, this has been my favourite perfume for years and would 100% recommend this!
Marc Jacobs Daisy - just a classic perfume!
Miss Dior - This is the perfume my sister has it smells divine and she loves it.
Shoes are another great gift. Listen out if they’ve been dropping hints of any shoes they’ve seen that the love but wouldn’t buy themselves. Some shoes that are definitely on a lot of Christmas lists this years are
Dr Martens - Jadon. Dr Martens are the grandaddy of boots, they might be spenny but they will undoubtedly last you a lift time and they also look AMMAZE!
Come De Garcon converse. I have a pair of these and they are my go to pair of shoes as they are so come and go with everything. They would be such a perfect Christmas gift.
Tonal Air Force. A way you could make this even more fun is to buy a pair of plain airforce and paints suitable for shoes so that they can design and decorate their own airforce so that they are personalised!
Room decor is such great gift if you know your girl's style. Perfect gifts would be wall prints and shaped candles. Dessino is great place to get prints from and you've just got to open Pinterest or Instagram to see these amazing nordic shaped candles plastered everywhere!
If you've read this all the way through then congratulations you've made it and I hope this has given you some inspiration for gifts for the special females in your life... or just for additions to your own Christmas list!
Until next time x
