As a beauty lover myself I thought I'd write a little beauty related gift guide of the exciting gifts I think would make a beauty addicts Christmas this year.
Urban Decay Ultimate Basics Palette - £38.50
The dream everyday makeup palette with the perfect shades for all your favourite looks.
A huge mirror, brush and stunning packaging makes this the most amazing xmas gift.

A personal gift if always a good one, and Avon are offering these gorgeous nail varnishes in the shades of the 12 birthstones. They make amazing stocking fillers and are on sale too!
I don't think I've ever seen a hair styling set so beautiful. Wow, well done GHD who knew that copper would make GHD's look even better? I'm in awe.
Just imagine opening these on Christmas morning...
The Library of Fragrance are great gifts! On offer at Boots for 2 for £25 you can create you own scent with these single note fragrances and layer them to make you own unique scent.
Every girl loves a bit of makeup and you can never go wrong with Charlotte Tilbury. An amazing makeup artist who has an amazing collection of makeup at such quality.
This adorable set with some key pieces from her collection is a really lovely gift for any beauty addict.
I wear this matte lip all the time. It's my favourite matte liquid lip formula of all on the market. Affordable and small this makes the perfect stocking filler!
FACE Book by Pixiwoo - £9.99
The YouTube beauty experts Pixiwoo have finally released a book, and isn't it beautiful. Anyone with an interest in makeup or beauty would love to own this stunning book of Sam and Nic's makeup journey.
New to Boots, Makeup Obsession is a brand which give you complete customisation at great affordable prices. Normally, creating your dream palette can get extremely pricey, however Makeup Obsession puts MAC and the Z Palettes to shame with seriously affordable drugstore prices and so many single pans to choose from!
Magnitone Vibra-Sonic Cleansing Brush - £60.00
Before I owned a Magnitone Cleansing Brush I thought it was possibly just s gimmick/phase however they really do work. The Magnitone is a fab because you can use it daily, unlike other on the market which are more for weekly use. The Magnitone is the ideal gift for any skincare fanatic and I love using mine with a cleansing balm.

I love unique gifts at Christmas, especially ones I can keep forever and use over, and over.
Cooking and Baking books are great for this because they're gift you can return to for years and use every weekend or dinner time and really get creative too.
If you're looking to surprise someone this Christmas with a good ol' book then second in my 'Days til Xmas' series, here is a list of my favourite and top picks to gift this Christmas.
A festive recipe book is a great gift idea and IdealWorldTV are offering 3 Christmas books for only £8.99. So whether you gift them to one person or split them in to three gifts, it's still a great bargain and a lovely one to receive.
Madeline Shaw is a health coach and friend of the stars with a real eye for nutrition but her book shows how to make healthy food, taste and look amazing with hundreds of pages full of totally stunning recipe ideas anyone would love to try.
Whether you're a Youtube fan or a Blogger you'll know who Tanya is as she's a super successful, self-made Internet sensation. Tanya now has a cosmetics line as well as 2 books. Her first, about her life and her second (this book) a baking recipe book - How cool!
This book a great gift whether you know who Tanya is or not. As her recipes are just amazing and some even recipes passed down through her family.
The Hummingbird Bakery book is one I absolutely love and constantly return to. The lemon meringue pie recipe is the best I've tried and one my family ask me remake a lot.
Hummingbird Bakery are well known for their cakes and cupcakes so if you know a cupcake lover, this book would be great for them.
As a dog lover myself I longed for this book for ages! So much so I ended up buying it for myself because I couldn't wait until Christmas. Maybe you or the person you're buying for is more of a dog lover than cook or baker, if so this is a great and unique gift idea.
Lily's Kitchen is a brand of animal food who've created a cookbook for dogs - How awesome is that?
This trio of cookbooks from Gilli Davies celebrate wales dishes and ingredients. Each with 48 pages of traditional welsh flavours The Seaweed Cookbook, The Welsh Cake Cookbook and The Sea Salt Cookbook are a great selection of gifts for the keen cook in the family.
So, they're my Top Cookbook Gift Ideas for Christmas 2016 with a unique selection of cooking and baking books (even some for dogs too!) all under £15.00 - How good is that?
Merry Christmas!

'12 THINGS I LOVE' GIFT GUIDE
13.12.16
My favourite time of year is well under way and the festivities have definitely began!
I've been super busy and have been lucky enough to go on two holidays recently, and even done lots of shopping in New York! But, that means whilst shopping I've always seen some really beautiful and amazing things that I just love! So I thought I'd collect these together in a blog post for you of 'things I love' that could maybe give you some gift ideas for your friends or even some Christmas outfit options for the festive party season.
 |
| My favourite things right now! |
I spotted these incredible boots in RI when the AW16 Collections came out and I've had my eyes on these for ages and now they're in the sale for only £25. They are super bold but I think they're ideal for the festive season with a party dress or dressed down with black jeans and a wooly jumper.

As you guys probably know far too well by now, I am pug obsessed.
I've been eyeing-up Fenella Smith's Pug design homeware collection for ages and I really hope to own the complete collection one day as it's just sooo me!

In 2016 I definitely fell in love with eyeshadows. I've never really worn them before but after collecting a few palettes this year, I've become a huge fan.
This totally adorable and affordable palette from NYX has every shade I love in it and for only £16 is an absolutely must have!
I came across Cluse watching when I was searching for a watch for my boyfriend back in September, I'd never heard of them! They're quite similar to Olivia Burton and Daniel Wellington watches as they have similar faces and lots and lots of styles. However, I'm particularly in love with this mixed metal watch with rose and silver detail, I think it's so simple it's just totally perfect, and they are really quite prices for stylish watches.

When in New York in November I took a trip to Sephora (I mean.. It's kinda a must right?) and found my dream fragrance. I'm a huge perfume whore and have far to many, but it's something I like to collect and switch up every now and again. I'd never really considered Elizabeth and James as fragrance brand before, however if it wasn't for the lovely man forcing it under my nose I would've never known! I've fallen in love with the Nirvana Rose scent from E&J as it's just the perfect balance of floral. It wouldn't be everyones favourite choice however, I absolutely love it!

As a huge fan of Tanya Burr Cosmetics I couldn't wait to get my mits on her latest lipstick release. However, trying to find the shade 'Pink Cocoa' is proving difficult as the collection favourite.
So, this is definitely top of my stocking filler list this Christmas!

I've been on the lookout for a fur lined parka for what feels like forever. Little did I know that Missguided sold the perfect one. This blue lined parka is completely perfect and soo me.

It's fair to say I'm obsessed with my dog, Arla. She is literally my best friend, we do everything together. I actually think I now spend more on treats and clothes for her, than I do myself.
So these awesome idea from Friendship Collar is super cute and unique.
What an awesome gift idea for dog & cat lovers?

Sagittarius Star Sign Charm - Pandora | £25.00
I'm a big lover of star signs and recently received a Pandora bracelet for my birthday (can you believe I haven't owned on until now? LOL). If you or someone you know owns a Pandora, you'll know they are an amazing gift and I think this star sign charm is perfect!
Velour Liquid Lipstick in 'Designer Blood' by Jeffree Star Cosmetics - Beauty Bay | £16.00
I've become a huge Jeffree Star fan recently after discovering his YouTube Channel which I totally love! His cosmetics brand has become one I want to own every item from especially his liquid lipsticks. He's recently revealed his Christmas collection of which contains the most beautiful dark red liquid lip called 'Designed Blood'. A deep red matte lip is ideal for Christmas time and I would absolutely love to receive this lipstick in my stocking this year, and I'm sure any beauty addict would too.

When I work I scribble and doodle all the time! I'm always in need of a pad especially when I'm at my computer as I end up scribbling on ripped pieces of scrap paper, and I'm forever using my iPhone Calendar for date references. This is where this adorable dog themed Saver Set from BusyB would come in hand and is the perfect stocking filler!

If you're a Blogger or interested in the Blogging world then Blogosphere Magazine will be your bible. After they recently revealed their Christmas cover with Zoella I felt I needed to get my paws on every issue from here after. They can be quite difficult to source in shops so receiving a yearly subscription delivered to your house could be the best gift this Christmas and one I'd totally love to receive.

They are the Top 12 things on my Christmas list this year and things I think would be a great gift for others too! What are you excited for this Christmas, and is it your favourite time of year too?
Merry Christmas!
