As if it’s nearly Christmas! I mean, I’ve pretty much got all my presents done, I now just need to wrap them. When it comes to beauty products, if I got anything for the festive season, beauty products would go down a treat for me. I love treating myself to a bit of pampering and that’s how I feel when applying makeup too. For this gift guide, I’ve got a few items that have been gifted to me, so let’s give you some inspiration what to buy for the beauty obsessed.
This post contains gifted content.
Tutti Rouge Lingerie | Sarah Bra Garnet & Knickers (£24.00)
Anyone will love a new pair of matching bras and knicker sets because nine times out of ten, I’m wearing mismatched underwear. Andbb when you have matching, it suddenly elevates how you look and feel, even if it’s merely for your enjoyment (or your partner’s). Tutti Rouge Lingerie is a brand I’m working for and one that I’ll be featuring in my blog later this month. Their range definietly caters for the more curvier women and for me and my big boobs, it’s a life-saver. The reason why is because for some reason, if you have big boobs, the bra and knickers have to look like something your nan would wear and that’s NOT FAIR.
Eylure Enchanted Lashes | WeLoveLashes (£7.95)
Ok so my experience with lashes has been a bit of car crash but I tried out Eyelure Enchanted for the first time the other night for my ex-work’s Christmas party and even though I cut off around half the lash and trimmed it, I really liked it. I don’t think I’ve ever had to worry about having lashes because I’ve thankfully been blessed with full ones. However, I definitely want to try out more further down the line. This Enchanted set is from a company called WeLoveLashes.
Wet Detangler Brushes | Originals (£11.99)
I now have three Wet Detangler Hairbrushes and the obsession needs to stop. I say that but then I realised they had a drying and styling range, so now I want them too. The latest one I got (the funky black and white print) is going to my mum along with some PR makeup and skincare products that I’m just not using currently. These brushes are so kind to your hair and as someone who molts hair like a cat, these really come in handy to not cause any breakages. Using this and the Bioglan Hair Gummies mentioned further down have done wonders for the growth and health of my hair.
TK Maxx | Face Masks (Various Prices)
I love TK Maxx so much and their range of face masks are so cool. Obviously, sheet masks are well and truly in at the moment so a great stocking filler will be a sheet mask and they’re so affordable too. The prices in TK Maxx vary anywhere between £1.99 to £4.99. Such a great price for what you get.
GlossyBox | Subscription Box (£8.50 or £10.00 plus postage)
I’ve been well into my subscription boxes lately and I think for the new year I might treat myself to one or two more. Glossybox is the most recent and has had me well impressed with how gorgeous the products are and that they’re all full-sized. You can buy these subscription boxes as a one-off or perhaps purchase their twelve month subscription and gift the first one of twelve at Christmas. I’d be happy with that if someone got that for me!
Cel MD | Microstem Shampoo, Conditioner and Hair Growth Stimulation ($55.95 and $66.95)
Cel MD is a brand I’d never heard of before but over the weekend I tried out the goodies that got sent to me to review. The Microstem Shampoo Conditioner promises to add volume and thickness to your hair. And that it did, I was telling Sam to touch it because I couldn’t get over just how thick my hair felt afterwards. The shampoo one was a bit gloopy but that might of been because it needed a bit of a shake. They come with screw-tops but also pumps if needed. The Hair Growth Stimulation felt very swanky when applying it to my head and you only need a small amount dotted over the scalp. Hopefully, this is going to provide my hair with some much-needed growth in time for my wedding. I’ve stopped going to the hairdressers and will do so for a little bit as they always chop off too much!
Jo Malone | Handcream Trio (£46.00)
The first of my Jo Malone products that I’ve received, was the Handcream Trio. I got this and a candle off Sam for my birthday and wow do these smell and feel so good on the skin. Hand creams can tend to be one of two things, they’ll either be too greasy or won’t soak into the skin properly. These do neither and what’s more is that the scent remains on the skin for ages. They are so cute for the handbag so would make a great main gift for someone who suffers from dry hands over the winter.
Sakare Cosmetics | Deep Cleansing Salt Scrub in Passion (£44.99)
Me and my best friend Hannah walked past a Sakare Cosmetics shop the other day and was enticed in by a lady who apparently had only just started there. Her pitch to sell us products was too good to say no to and although their reviews are very much hit and miss, they don’t disappoint. I came away with the body lotion as well as the main talk about mine and Hannah’s experience, the Deep Cleansing Salt Scrub. Now I kid you not, my skin feels like baby’s bottom every time I shower. This intense body scrub is so invigorating but it’s not so intense that it’s reacting to my sensitive skin. It smells divine and combined with a bit of shower foam, I rub this all over into my skin. It’s a little pricey but totally worth the investment.
Bioglan | Collagen Gummies (£18.99)
And finally, a product I always rave about over on my Instagram. The Bioglan Collagen Gummies were something I got sent a while back and I loved them so much that they ended up sending me another three packs! So this will certainly see me through the next few months as I attempt to grow my hair longer. These collagen gummies taste so good and you can have between two to five per day. They contains lots of healthy and safe ingredients that promote healthy hair, strong nails and firmer skin. All three of those are a big tick from me and they are an edible treat that can be snacked on throughout the day.
And that’s my beauty gift guide! I hope you’ve enjoyed looking at all these goodies and it’s given you some inspiration for your gift buying this Christmas.
