Christmas Gift Guide | Beauty Edition

Welcome to my one of three Christmas gift guides and my first of many Christmas posts! I can't believe Christmas is next month. Where has this year gone? It has definitely flown by that's for sure! Because Christmas is just five weeks or so away, you might be panicking about the large amount of present shopping you still have to do. But try not to worry, since I have got that all covered for you, just you wait and see!

Today's post is the first of my gift guides and it is a list of some present ideas for any beauty lovers out there. I've tried to choose affordable or worth the money pieces, that are easy to get hold of whether you're more of an online shopper or someone who likes to go in store to check out items. Feel free to use this guide to build ideas on what you might want to buy your best friend, sister, mum or girlfriend. I personally feel like there's something there for all beauty lovers out there, whether they're more of a fan of taking care of their skin or they are wanting to try new products and build their make-up collection. Or maybe this list might be able to give you some inspiration of what it might be that you actually wish to receive this Christmas. Let's roll...
.
1. Benefit REAL Cheeky Party Kit - £29.50:
Starting off with one for the make-up lover, this Benefit set is perfect for anyone who is wanting to try out some of Benefit's products or is already a fan of this brand! The set contains six powders including popular 'Hoola', best-selling mascara 'They're real' and 'They're real' liner. I believe this set is really affordable, as some of the Benefit products start between £20-30 for just one. But in theory, you're getting seven products for less than £30!!!!

2. Kérastase Discipline Fondant Fluidealiste - £14.45 (on feelunique.com):
If you know someone who is a big fan of taking care of their hair and loves trying new products to maintain healthy locks, then this gift will be perfect for them! This product aims to transform hair to be softer, smoother and fluid like. It provides suppleness and shine with a lightweight finish. Who doesn't love the sound of that?

3. Philosophy Peppermint Stick Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath - £3.50:
Not only is this gift idea very affordable, but who doesn't love to receive a shower and bath gift? This present would suit almost everybody!

Perfect for mums, sisters, girlfriends, friends and even your grandma!

5. Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Palette - £39.00:
This palette has grown increasingly popular and is a great buy for make-up fans! I'm pretty sure that a few girl's have got this on their wishlist at the moment. This palette contains powder shadows that are infused mattes or shimmers shades of natural browns, delicate pinks and luscious plums. I personally love the look of this palette and it is packaged like a chocolate bar, how cool and different is that?
