Christmas Gift Guide - Gifts UNDER €20 | Stocking Fillers & Kris Kindle


Hi my Loves,



I have to say, I'm impressing myself by having gotten a post up everyday so far - it's like my form of 'Vlogmas' ; does anyone else love watching people's Vlogmas' over on YouTube? I'm a YouTube junkie.
Today's Gift Guide is a collection of gift ideas under €20. I am all about finding gifts that are just a little bit different -something you can't pick up so easily yourself I suppose! I have no problem with mainstream gifts but I just love the excitement of finding and giving someone something that bit 'extra'. You guys have no idea, I am an actual elf come Christmas time - I love you give presents rather the get them; I am the WORST present receiver ever.
So let's kick off my under €20 gifts:

Tony Moly beauty products
Price - £6 - £16

Tony Moly is South Korea's (and probably the world's!) cutest ever export! If you thought Benefit packaging was cute, let me tell you, you are going to die over Tony Moly!
I am a HUGE Asian beauty lover - have you seen their beautiful skin? I will take WHATEVER they are using, in bulk. Tony Moly products compare to a medium drugstore/chemist price wise, but their ingredients and concepts are rivaling high end. For the packaging alone their products make the best stocking fillers ever. Here are my favourite under €20 products (prepare to die from package cuteness overload!)


Sheet Mask Selection - £6

Panda's Dream So cool eye stick -£10
Bbo Bbo Lip Balm - £7
Choco Mushroom Cream pore pack - £16




Starskin Masks
Price - €11.50 -

I have more bargain but bomb skincare  here with the brand StarSkin! These Bio-cellulouse masks cover every skin need and are essential for all year round but especially Christmas time when you want that skin to be amazing! They also do feet & hand masks and lip masks to give you a plumper more hydrated pout!

Hydrating face mask - €9.80


Magic Hour exfoliating double layer feet mask socks - €9.80 

Glowstar peeling perfection puff - €8

VIP the Gold Revitalizing  second skin face mask - €14.40
Silkmud Pink French Clay purifying lift-away mask - €9.80
Eye- catcher eye masks - €9.80

Huda Beauty Lashes
Price - £15.50

If you are an Instgram addict I am sure you've stumbled across Huda Beauty at least once or twice. Huda is STUNNING and she is an amazing makeup artist and business woman. She has a whole range of cosmetic products ranging from lip products, to lashes to nails - she's just fantastic. Her lashes are definitely one of her stand out products - they are all so stunning and look beautiful on any eyes that wear them, They are also 100% reusable and can be worn up to 12 times, some of the more expensive ones you get 20-25 wears out of.

Lana lashes #10 - £15.50

Samantha lashes #7 - £15.50


Sasha Lashes #11 - £15.50
Wet Brush
Price - €11.95

This will be whoever gets it, new BFF - this is the brush you need to keep your hair in tip-top condition. The great thing about this brush is that it is designed to be used on wet hair where as most brushes will actually cause damage if used on wet hair - this brush does the opposite!

ASOS Beanie hats with baubles & Funky Slippers

Coconut lane do a fantastic selection of items that are perfect for gifting to people (or yourself, no judgement!). They do everything from marble cushion covers, to phone cases and the most amazing MacBook skins you've ever seen in your entire life! I literally want a MacBook just so I can buy these skins!!

Rose Gold marble MacBook skin - £16.50
Opal Dream MacBook skin - £16.50
Liquid Copper MacBook skin - £16.50


The Dotty Lemon Notebooks & Pens
Price - €8 - €20

The Dotty Lemon is another place that is gift central, honestly they have so much you need to check their site out! If I wasn't keeping this to under €20 I'd be telling you to look at their planners and journals - they are my idea of heaven! Everyone needs a beautiful notebook by their bed, I know I always keep one by my bed to jot down things that come into my head in the night and you definitely need them if you are in college - and beautiful pens doesn't hurt either!

Ban.do sweet talk pen set - €14.95

Glitz n' Pieces Alphabet Goodies
Price
www.glitznpieces.com 

Another little haven full of gift ideas, they have bags, jewellery & adorable home-ware. I think Alphabet Monogram item are perfect for presents because they have a touch of personal to them and Glitz n' Pieces have a great selection:


Alphabet teacup & saucer set - €19.90



Missguided Phone Cases
Price - €12
www.missguided.com

Missguided are brilliant for everything we all know this, and gifts are no different. I am going to do a full Missguided gift guide over the weekend because their gift selection is that good. Here though I'm talking about phone cases which are always a great gift, especially cool funky ones. They have loads so I will link the page here but I'll show you my favourites too:

Rose Gold Glitter Flake iphone 7 case - €12


Chrissy Teigen Cravings Cook book
Price - £15.39
www.amazon.com (direct link to seller HERE)

I am a huge Chrissy Teigan fan - I think she is so fab in every aspect. And I LOVE that she loves her food - her and John Legend always remind me of myself and my boyfriend in terms of being food addicts! I think she is a great role model for young girls because she doesn't support faddy eating.
Her cook book is a collection of the most fantastic recipes - all the most delicious, indulgent food - check out the baby dutch pancakes, you can thank me later! Perfect for the person who appreciates and loves food!



Calm Colouring Book
Price -

  So I've not gotten into this whole Calm colouring concept, I'm too competitive with myself and would just rush to finish it as quick as possible because that's my personality!! But, I have heard of so many people that it has really helped them and they've found it very therapeutic and the really enjoy it! So I've scoured the internet to find the best ones for under €20:

Color Me Calm -  £10.99
The Calm Coloring book - £7.98
The Passive agressive colouring book -

Christmas Gift Guide - The Makeup Addict

Hi my Loves,


Today is the first of my gift guides that I will have for you guys and I will be posting one every day until we've covered everything! Let me know below or on my social media what gift guides you would like to see. I started this series last year but a dislocated right shoulder blade had me in a sling and concoctions of ridiculously strong painkillers had me 100% out of action all of last Christmas.
That's why this year I want to be on this topic for you guys!
The only gift guide I got to cover last year was the Beauty Addict Gift Guide; and that was one of my most read posts ever - so I want to start off on the same note. This gift guide will be covering presents for the person who is a self proclaimed makeup junkie (i.e. ME) - you can even use this as inspo for your own wishlist <3



Kylie Cosmetics Kyshadow Palettes
Price - $42


I recommend either her limited edition Holiday Palette or else her Burgundy Palette, both of these are absolutely stunning and worth every penny. They are also an essential for any makeup lover!
The Holiday Palette


The Burgundy Palette



Zoeva 'Plaisir' Eye-shadow box-set
Price - €62 (you can buy each palette separate if you prefer)

Zoeva as a whole is an amazing brand filled with high quality & luxurious products ranging from brush sets (they are also amazing, check them out below!), to lip products, to eyeshadow palettes. I really want to stress on the quality of Zoeva products - they 100% compare to high, high end brands but the prices are way more reasonable. I adore this eye-shadow box set - firstly the whole box idea makes a beautiful gift and secondly you are literally getting a myriad of colours that will cover nearly everyone's taste. A true makeup lover would adore this set.



Plaisir Eye-shadow box-set - €62


Lime Crime Velve-tins
Price - €26

Lime Crime's liquid lipstick offering 'Velvetines' are probably one of the best liquid lipsticks on the market; they are in my top 5 favourite liquid lippy brands! They have created the most GORGEOUS little tins with 3 mini sized Velvetines for the Christmas season and they are just a must have. My favourites tins are the 'Red velve-tin' , the 'Champagne velve-tin' and the 'Pink velve-tin'. They are all beautiful and contain some of Lime Crime's most popular shades.

Red Velve-tin

Champagne Velve-tin


Pink Velve-tin
Mariah Carey X Mac Cosmetics Collection
Price - Will vary depending on product

This is the collection every beauty lover has been drooling about since sneak peaks dropped a few months back. This collection is being released on Thursday 8/12 here in Ireland and I can guarantee you now, the best pieces will sell out probably soon after that. If you can manage to get some of the coveted collection, you will be in the good books forever and ever. I'm not sure of prices yet but I will list my favourite items from the collection so you can focus in on those.

Extra Dimension Skin finish in 'My Mini'

It's Everything Eyeshadow Palette


I'm that Chic you Like Eyeshadow Palette

Mcizzle, I get so OOC, Dahhhlinggg, All I want, Bit of Bubble

ColourPop Lip/eye Bundles
Price - $15 -25
Although ColourPop is cult brand in America, it's only been readily available to us over in Europe and the UK the past few months, so it still pretty unique over here. Their products are amazing quality for an amazing price and coming up to Christmas they have brought out some bundles which would make amazing presents! I am a huge fan of their eyeshadows in particular so I'll Show you my faves and some great lip bundles too:
(P.S. You get $5 off your first ColourPop order when you sign up so that basically covers shipping)
All Nighter SuperShock shadow foursome - $18


Love Line SuperShock shadow foursome - $18

Peachy Keen Supershock Shadow foursome - $18
Baby Blues Lip set - $25

For Fox sake - $25

Kiss & Tell (ultra glossy lip set) - $30

Zoeva Makeup Artist Zoe Bag Vol.1 & 3
Price - €245
www.zoevacosmetics.com

Firstly I want to point out I know that this is not a cheap present by any means BUT if you are looking for one luxurious item be it for a sister, girlfriend or even yourself - this brush set is it. If you are a hardcore makeup lover or even a makeup artist, this kit will have everything you will need forever and Zoeva Brushes are some of the best quality brushes that I own. The look so classy and professional (they are 1000% professional quality) and they are just down right beautiful. Zoeva stock tonnes of other brush sets so if this is too expensive do not worry there are so many other options on their website, these are just my favourite and they would make an amazing present.

Vol 3 
Vol 1


Spectrum Collections Brushes
Price - €77 - €95 for full brush sets (you can buy individuals or smaller sets too)
www.spectrumcollections.com 


These brushes can only be described as brushes from heaven. They are beyond aesthetically pleasing and lets face it would look AMAZING displayed on anyone's dressing table! They are also fantastic quality and the selection that you get are brushes you will always be guaranteed to use. There is loads of sets that you can buy from Spectrum but I have two favourites that I'll leave below that I think everyone will love:

White Marbelous 12 piece set - €77 

The Bomb-shell set - €95


Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kits
Price - $40 -$45
www.anastasiabeverlyhills.com

2016 has been the year of the highlighter I think it's safe to say - and any true makeup lover either has or wants one of these Glow Kits in their collection. They are one of THE MOST talked about makeup products on the market, and rightly so because they are amazing. There are few different Glow Kits but there are two which I think are the best;

Sweets Glow Kit - $40


Ultimate Glow Kit - $45 (This is the newest one people are less likely to have.)
SOSU Highlighter Kit
Price - €29.95
www.cloud10beauty.com

So if the thoughts of ordering a Glow Kit online has you bit like 'Meh' and you want an easier solution, SoSu's new highlighter kit is a great alternative! It is a very similar concept and the highlighting selection in the palette is beautiful as is the quality. You are also supporting Irish brands which is something that I love to do.

Highlighter kit - €29.95


Lilumia 2 Brush Cleaner
Price - $149

If there is one thing that any makeup lover hates, it's cleaning their brushes. I struggle to think of anything I hate more! So what better than a device that does it FOR YOU?! 
After tonnes of research and reading reviews etc. I can tell you the Lilumia 2 comes out on top. The Lilumia is a machine that will clean 6 (thick brushes) - 12 (thinner brushes) at once without you have to do any scrubbing or drying. It is basically like a dishwasher for your brushes.
There are a few different finish you can get for the machine e.g. black, gold, pink, chrome.
My personal favourite is the chrome finish!

Lilumia 2 Tokyo (Chrome finish) - $149
