Have a Beauty-Full Christmas




Hi Girlies!




Eeek! We are into December now and the official countdown for Christmas has started! Yayyy I'm so excited! But...if you're anything like me then you probably still have gifts to buy? If you're stuck for ideas then hopefully I can help? I have made a list of what I think are the top ten beauty buys this Christmas. Most of them are under €100 too!



#1
Benefit - Best of Benefit, you're my number one.
This set contains six mini versions of Benefits best selling products. Its perfect for when you know someone uses the brand but you're not sure which products they use, and it would also be a brilliantly cost effective way to treat yourself to trying these products out!

Mini Porefessional (Primer) 7.5ml
They’re Real Mini (Mascara) 4.0g
Mini Hoola (Bronzer) 3.0g

#2
Bobbi Brown - Twilight Pink Lip and Eye Palette (Limited Edition)
This palette is amazing for any one of any age. The ten eyeshadow shades are a gorgeous mix of matte and shimmer colours that will take you from "dawn-to-dusk" and also four lip shades to compliment these eye shadows. Its a fantastic little set that would make a perfect Christmas present!



Price: €67.50
Available from Brown Thomas



#3
Elizabeth Arden - Untold (Eau De Parfum)
This is a luxurious and modern, floral and sensual fragrance. Something new to the Elizabeth Arden line and suitable for any woman who would love a slightly woody, musky, warm and fruity fragrance . You can mostly smell the patchouli as the base note from this and its really lovely and different. People will compliment you when you wear this fragrance!




Price: €90 for 100ml (various sizes available)
Available from Debenhams



#4
Clarins - The Essential Eye Makeup Palette (Limited Edition)
This palette contains 10 amazing mineral eye shadow shades. All very neutral and very complimenting for any eye colour or for any age. I would highly recommend this limited edition product. I even recommend it before Urban Decays naked palette! Its fab and anyone who has used it loves it! Money well spent and the ideal gift for any makeup wearer or even the perfect addiction to a makeup lovers kit!




Price: €42
Available from Debenhams



#5
Lancôme - Hypnôse Doll Eyes Mascara Set

Babyliss - Curl Secret
This is the new "must have" in the hair world! It was all about the curling wand but now its this product. It gives free flowing long lasting curls and can be used on long or short hair. I love anything that gets my hair ready in less time so this is definitely going on my list!

This set has been compiled using the ten most iconic shades available at Bare Escentuals. This sleek and slim travel size clutch contains eyeshadows lip glosses and cheek colours that are neutral enough to take you through all the seasons.

#9
Opi Nail Lacquer 10 Piece set, Take Ten Mini Kit (Limited Edition)
I love OPI nail polishes! They are long lasting and easy to use. They are very similar to the result you get from a 2-3 week shellac or gelish polish. The polish lasts about 1-2 weeks. I have searched high and low for these in the shops but I think most people buy them online. This set is perfect to take you through any look over the Xmas period.
