Christmas present make up ideas
As I started to plan the presents that I would give this year, I thought it would be fun to create a little dream list and a few ideas for you all… from stocking fillers to main presents to all out, never going to happen, indulgent presents!
So here it is…just a bit of fun and some ideas to get you thinking!
LANCOME Juicy Tubes Gift Set
Who wouldn’t love to receive this fab set?
£18.00 – Harrods
Rimmel
60 second nail polish
I love the 60 second polishes as I am rubbish at staying still, yet I love to change my polish regularly! My kids adore it when I have colourful nails and it is an easy way to add colour to your look. I have quite a few of the 24 shades available however I would always be delighted to find more in my stocking!
£3.69 each – Boots/Superdrug
Elf:
I have been really surprised by the quality of some of these products especially for the price! Their lip glosses, face whips, pencils and eye shadows are all fab little extras for your own use. With regular discounts (up to 50%) and extra free gifts or free delivery, the savings just keep on coming!
These are a few of my favourites:
Smokey Eye Beauty Book: £7.00
Shimmer eye pencils (with sharpener): £1.50
Hypershine Lipgloss: £1.50
Shimmering facial whip: £1.50
Bourjois:
available Boots/Superdrug
I love Bourjois and have such fun with their fantastic range. Their products are easy to apply and so long lasting. Even better, at the moment when you buy three products at Superdrug you will receive a gift make up bag full of mini Bourjois products free! Run, quick before they all go!
Healthy Mix Serum Foundation – £6 – £7
3d Effect Lipgloss – 8 hrs hydration – £6
Volumizer mascara – £9.75

Disposable makeup brush kit – (save 20%) – £26.50

MAC
Going into MAC is liking walking into a sweet shop as a kid. Just so many beautiful products to choose from and so many beautiful colours presented in a highly desirable way. Their online shopping is just as much of an experience and so this comes with a word of warning as you may get carried away…
I have many MAC products that I love however these are my top five and the ones that I give as presents as often as I can. Everyone adores them!
