Hello!
Sorry for the huge delay on this post- does anybody else just like to do absolutely nothing after Christmas?
Anyway- today I’ll be sharing a selection of the christmas presents I received this year. I was SO grateful for every single one, and if I have missed out anything- I wasn’t less grateful, these just happened to be in my bedroom when I took the pictures!
My main present from my parents this year was – Adele tickets! Adele has been my musical idol since I was about 8, and when I found out she was going on tour I HAD to go. When tickets first came on sale, my mum and I (whilst at school) didn’t quite get them and I was so gutted that I burst into tears – the same reaction I had when I opened this! Thank you mum and dad- I am SO excited!!
My main present from my Granny this year was this gorgeous Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow palette. The amazing thing about this gift was the amazing packaging – it was in a cardboard box along with an envelope full of testers. And, of course, the lovely rose golden box. I love it! The sculpt shade is perfect for my skin and looks so natural and the highlight is the best one I’ve ever used. Thank you Granny!
I received these two Kiko palettes from my best friend in our secret santa along with a Disney Tsum Tsum – which I love – and also a Real Techniques Setting brush. I love the blush shade and it doubles as a highlight. The eyeshadow palette is also one I would never pick out for myself but I find myself using all the time. Thank you Alice!
These two Stila products are from my parents- I haven’t tried the BBcream yet but will let you know how I find it when I do. The eyebrow pen is amazing for creating the arch and I’ve had so many compliments on how they look when I’ve used it! Thank you mum and dad xx
This mac mascara is from my Aunty Sharon- and it is INCREDIBLE! The brush is really little and so can get right to the bottom of your lashes. It makes my eyelashes look amazing!
I saw this exfoliator on Niomi Smarts YouTube video a couple of months ago and it is delightful! I have already used it in the bath- which does cause a bit of mess so I would suggest using it in the shower. It made my body feel and smell amazing. Thank you Granny!xx
Recently, I’ve become obsessed with things with the letter ‘P’ on. This pencil case is from Oliver Bonas and I saw it in St Pancras before coming home the other week. My mum sneakily bought it for me and I love it. Thanks mum! She also bought the matching mug from Oliver Bonas for me – as you can never have enough P’s!
My Granny knows how much I love Zoe – and bought me the soap. I love the smell, and the general aesthetic of her products and so this will sit by my sink nicely! Thank you!
My friend Millie really kindly bought me Velvet Teddy from Mac, which I’ve been wanting to try for ages. I’m not sure if it goes with my skin tone, as it makes me look a bit pale, but I will definitely be trying it more! Thank you Millie!
(My cloth looks like it has blood on it – it is just lipstick!!)
My Aunty Louise wears this perfume from Jo Malone and every time I see her, I always comment on it – so my mum bought me the little bottle! Some people find it very heavy but I am addicted to it. Thank you mum!
I also received money to redo my room- so I will be showing before and after pics when I have completed my bedroom!
Thank you for reading everybody, I hope you had a relaxing Christmas and I can’t wait to start posting more.
