Christmas Presents



Michael Kors 5055 Watch
My main present this year came in the form of this rather blingtastic gold Michael Kors watch. I've wanted one of these for ages & I'm so happy I finally got one. I originally wanted the rose gold one but I decided the gold was more me & I think it goes with more things. I love it so much & couldn't have asked for a better present!



Gear4 Halo2 Alarm Clock
To go with my new iPhone 5 my mum got me this awesome alarm clock. It works as a speaker for your music as well as a radio. The sound quality is really excellent for such a small speaker. Its meant for the iPhone 4 so I had to buy one of those stupid Lightning to 30 pin adaptors. Total rip off at £25 & it makes the phone obscure the clock part but at least I finally have some cool speakers to blast my music on.



Louise Young Brush, Naked Basics Palette & Touch Screen Gloves
I actually only got this brush this morning but on Christmas Eve I won this gorgeous Louise Young LY20 from their Christmas giveaway on Twitter. It's their Super Fan brush and is my first item from Louise Young. Its so soft & will be perfect for applying a loose dusting of setting powder as well as contouring my cheeks. So excited to try it out! Can't tell you how tempted I am to buy some of their eye brushes next. The Urban Decay Naked Basics palette is my Christmas gift to myself. I absolutely love it! The dinky size means it has fast become a fixture in my makeup bag. I've decided to be more experimental with my eye makeup next year & I've really enjoyed playing about with this palette. Its so great for day or night. I also got some touch screen gloves which are a lot cooler than they sound. I love my stripey gloves from Accessorize but its so annoying having to take them off to use my iPhone. With these my hands stay warm & I can play Tiny Tower to my hearts content.



Frankie 2013 Diary
Another present I got for myself is this Frankie diary. I really wanted to buy one last year after seeing it on loads of blogs but it sold out so quickly. This year I decided that I simply must have it and ordered it at the end of November. It only took about 10 days to come from Australia. Its so gorgeous inside & outside and definitely beats using my Filofax. I actually can't wait to start filling it all in! Squee!



Perfume
I got four perfumes for Christmas - Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb La Vie En Rose, a new bottle of Truth Or Dare by Madonna, Viva La Juicy & Viva La Juicy La Fleur. All my other perfumes have pretty much run out so I was really happy to get loads of new ones. My favourite out of these has to be Flowerbomb La Vie En Rose. It's pretty similar to the original Flowerbomb but a bit fresher & fruitier.



Toiletries
I picked up this Soap & Glory hand wash & hand cream set in the Boxing Day sales. Literally couldn't find anything else I wanted but I'm so glad I picked this up. I love Hand Food, its my second favourite hand cream after my Burt's Bees one so its nice having it in the pump bottle. The hand wash smells really good & doesn't strip the moisture from my hands either. Quite a boring purchase but whatevz, I like it. I stupidly bought these two things from Lush before the sale started but oh well. I adore Snow Fairy. Not a year goes by where I don't pick up at least one big bottle of this gorgeous concoction. I'm obsessed with anything salted caramel flavour so I had to try out their new Popcorn lip scrub. Its a bit salty tasting but I do really like it & of course, it leaves your lips feeling amazing.

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas & got some nice goodies too :)

  8. I've read a lot of blog posts about the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette and I am so tempted to get it! I currently have The Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette and I don't know whether its worth getting the Basics. Although, I must admit I love a simple nude eye!

    Would you recommend getting the Basics Palette? Or would I find all those shades in the Naked 2?

    1. i do think the basics palette is quite different to the other two. naked 2 has more shimmery shades whereas all but one are matte in this palette. i'd say its a nice one to get if you like matte eye shadows, its perfect for 60s style makeup! its fairly cheap & better for travelling with than the other ones too xx

  15. Hello! Happy New Year. I've been a reader for a while, your blog inspired me to ask for the mini Clarisonic Mia for christmas! Hoping it works well with my skin. Thanks for being one of the blogs I go to for beauty recommendations. Love your jewellery bits too.
