CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE : BEAUTY EDITION

Christmas is rapidly approaching and I don't like how quick it's coming! Christmas is my favourite time of year so I really like to enjoy it and make the most of it, but it's just flying by!

As the days are whittling by so quickly, I thought it would be helpful if I put together a bit of a gift guide/idea post to help you out if you're struggling to find time to actually look for presents for friends and family!

First of all we'll get stuck into some beauty products!

Foundations:

Obviously this is quite a difficult one because you really need to know the shade of the person you are buying for as this is so difficult to get right if they're not with you to choose. If you're lucky and you know the colour (although the shade and colours do change depending on the brand!) then here's a couple of my favourite drugstore foundations:

1. L'Oreal Infallible 24H Foundation  - £9.99
2. L'Oreal Nutri Lift Gold Foundation - £14.99

                             Bourjois 1,2,3 Perfect Foundation - £10.99

Nars Sheer Glow Foundation - £31

Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup - £29.50

Here's my review of Estee Lauder - Double Wear foundation!

Concealers 

1. Maybelline Eraser Eye Concealer Light - £7.99 
2. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer - £4.19

(Side-note: I love the lightest shade in both of these concealers as they make awesome highlighters!)

Primers

1. Elf Mineral Infused Face Primer - £6.95
2. Rimmel Match Perfection Fix & Perfect Primer - £6.99

Eyes

Lancôme Hypnose Doll Eyes Mascara Gift Set - £22.50

I was lucky enough to trial this product and I absolutely love it! The mascara wand is something which allows me to get right into the lash bed and really grip each individual lash without it appearing clumpy or getting mascara all over your eyelids (which I can't stand!). After one coat, it gives you a lovely natural look but when you apply a couple of layers, you'll really get that doll effect finish which the product claims to give you!

I definitely recommend this product! It makes for a wonderful Christmas Gift Set or even if you're looking for a new mascara and eyeliner! 

1. Elf Baked Eyeshadow Palette - £10
2. Elf Baked Eyeshadow - Toasted - £3 (approx)

W7 - In The Buff - Eye Colour Palette: £4.97

Here's my product review and what it's a GREAT DUPE for!

Here's a post I've written on each of these perfumes and where you can get them from!

I hope you found this post helpful if you're looking for gifts to buy or even if you fancy a new product to add on your Christmas wishlist! 

In the next couple of days I'll be posting a Fashion Christmas Gift Guide and also a Random Christmas Gift Guide which will include...you guessed it... random things but still awesome nonetheless!

Stay tuned and hope to see you back here soon!

My collection of Collection!

I absolutely love Collection. I have so many of their products and I think the quality is top notch. The price is extremely affordable and the pigments and coverage never fails to impress.

Collection's Lasting Perfection concealer is something I've repurchased I don't know how many times and I've included it quite a few times in past posts! I use it in my contour and highlighting process rather than to cover imperfections but if I do have any spots or anything like that, I can always use it for multiple purposes! The shade I buy is "Fair 1" and even though this is extremely light (it is also the lightest shade they sell) it is perfect for the highlighting part of the process. Also, to get the best finish with this concealer use a damp beauty blender - I use a dupe version which works just as well as the real deal! This concealer is roughly £4.20 give or take a few pence and you can get it wherever sells Collection (Boots, Superdrug, Wilkos...)

Now onto Collection's Lasting Perfection foundation. This has amazing coverage and you only need a couple of pumps to cover your entire face! It's extremely pigmented and while I can't quite say that it lasts the whole say, it does last a good long time! This isn't the foundation for you if you're looking for a light coverage but if you're looking for something medium to full, definitely give it a go! I think I purchased this for about £5.99 so definitely affordable!!

I was eager to try Collection's Lip Butter Pencils and it did not disappoint! The colour I bought was Popping Pink and it cost £2.99! I found this crazy as its so pigmented, lasts a great length of time and also sort of moisturises your lips at the same time! They have 3 other colours also but pink is my favourite lip colour so I immediately picked Popping Pink! I can't really say anything more about this product because I think I've said everything there is to say about it, but well worth the money!

I hope this little product review was helpful and you go and try some of these bargains! I absolutely love Collection's products due to their quality, affordability and lasting power! Let me know what you think if you've tried any of these products!

Thanks for reading!
