Christmas Gift Ideas ♡ ( part 1 - 'The beauty-addict girl')

 
Hello my loves,
 
I hope that you are all extremely well & are looking forward to the up and coming Christmas festivities!!
 
Like I've mentioned before I work in retail - so it's really hard to get excited for Christmas because for us retail workers Christmas means one thing and that's longer, busier days. I've also been looking at Christmas decoration since the day after Halloween so talk about it being pushed on me BUT none-the-less I am still looking forward to Christmas!
 I think it's so funny that for me now at this age of my life, I actually would give up all my presents just to have the few days of Christmas off - for me getting to spend 3 or 4 days off enjoying Christmas spirit and spending time with my boyfriend and my family would out do any present I could ever be bought!
Before I launch right into my list of present ideas for that Beauty loving woman in your life; be it a girlfriend, a best friend, your mam, whoever -
 I want to take a moment to ask everyone that while you are out doing your Christmas shopping on the late opening nights, St. Stephen's day/boxing day etc. - PLEASE do be patient and well mannered to the retail staff who are working these hours to cater for everyone trying to buy presents, it is very hard for us to be surrounded by Christmas but not really get to celebrate it, plus we are only human - we know that it can be stressful picking presents and all that but we can only do our best!
 
Little rant overrrrr.. let's get into my list..:)
 
Mink Lashes
 
I'm a huge mink lash fan and any beauty addict would only love to add a few pairs of these to her collection. My favourite brands are Lilly Lashes & Velour lashes - I've order from both sites and both are 100% perfect. My favourite Lilly Lashes are the 'Miami' style & from Velour Lashes my favourites are 'Sho fluffy' & 'WINGing',
Velour lashes have been worn by likes of Beyoncé & Jessica Alba and Lilly lashes are adored by the Kardashians & Jenners as well as Pia Mia. If they're good enough for them....:)
 

 (Top - 'Sho fluffy', Bottom 'WINGing')
(- $35)


( Lilly lashes in 'Miami')
 (- $30)
 
 Eyeshadow palettes
 
You've a few options here that I think anyone would simply adore to have in there collection:
 
1. Too faced Chocolate bar palette

FYI - this literally smells like chocolate - if your girl is a chocolate addict, get her this - you get to be uber thoughtful AND get be a winner in the present books. (- €47)
 
2. Morphe 35N/35T palette
(Top - 35T, Bottom - 35N, both are amazing - don't fret if you don't know which is better, they are both equally as good as each other also €24 for 35 amazing eyeshadows - these are palettes that look 100 times more expensive than you would ever think)
 
 
This is cult - it's only available online so it makes for a seemingly 'special/exclusive' pressie. It is also special edition & a collectors edition type product for beauty lovers! (- €38.50)

 
 Skincare Surprises

Foreo Luna



This Swedish product is hailed as a more pocket friendly Clarisonic because you don't have to repurchase the heads, there for more economical you know. It has very good reviews and would be a really good present because it isn't the type of item that you would think to splash on yourself - but it would be such a lovely luxury treat! (- €140)

Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream

Hailed as being supermodel skin in a jar, this is a moisturiser you will want in your life! At €90 a jar, it's a little expensive to splash on yourself, so what better than to get it as a present.
 
 
Such a luxury little set by an amazing skincare brand - this is perfect for anyone mid 20's and up - read the reviews yourself, the laser free collection is fantastic. (- €66)
 
Another great set by Peter Thomas Roth is his Hall of Fame gift set - it a selection of smaller version of some of the best selling products - that way the person receiving the gift gets to test and see what they like! (- €33)
 
 
Hair tools
 
 
8 different ways to curl your hair - you are guaranteed to find at least 4 that you love. It's a great present that is of great quality and gives people so many options out of one present
(- $300 HOWEVER on their site they are selling for $119 NOW. Also if you google NUME discount codes you can always find really good discounts)
 
 
 
The ultimate Victoria's Secret hair in a flash - these use top notch technology so that they heat quickly to match what you need and they heat from the core which means your curls get the heat not your hands. (- €160)
 
 
This is loved by celebrities everywhere - it gives you a blow dry that looks like it came from a salon. Lots of people found the previous version of the Instyler hard to use because it only rotated one way, but with the MAX they have corrected this and it now rotates both ways, so thank you Instyler!!
(- €99)
 
 
 
 
Beautiful Brushes
 
 
These are my ride or die brushes. They are literally PERFECT in terms of quality and texture AND because they look so beautiful they make amazing Christmas pressies.
 
 
 
Stocking fillers/Secret Santa's/other little treats
 
 
If she loves to glow, she will love this, shade moonstone - people have fought to get this stunning highlight and Cult beauty have it in stock now.. run! (- £30)
 
 
 
3 new limited edition metallic liquid lipstick - Teddy, Scarlet lace & corset. These are stunning colours and perfect for anyone who loves lipsticks. (- $58)
 
 
Three of Charlotte's favourite mini K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipsticks - the colours are Penelope pink, Bitch perfect and So Marilyn red! (- £29)
 
 

Cute & they taste like amazing drinks - what else can you want to make your lips soft & juicy. (- £9)
 
 

 
My favourite glitters, you can use them for eye look, lip looks, nail looks they are for everything! (Prices range between €6.50 for a single mini jar and as high €69 for 7 large bottles)
 
 
 
 
 
 
GORGEOUS nail polishes in on trend shades. (- €18)
 
 
 
(So pretty & perfect for holding your toiletries this one is €40 & they have other styles available on ASOS too!)
 
 
 
Nars blushes are some of the best, no competition.
This is a limited edition set & ASOS are offering 55% off at the moment making this an absolute STEAL at €66!
 
 
This set is soooo cute, the little EOS tubes have little designs on them for this set making them something you can't buy separately. Also to add, these are some of the best lip balms I've ever tried. I always have one in my handbag. (- £18)
