Christmas Gift Guide for her

1st December 2016

It’s the 1st of the december and while others have been in christmas mode for weeks this is when I officially get all excited and put up my christmas decorations etc! I will be doing lots of christmas posts in december but I can’t commit myself to blogmas I’m afraid as it’s just so much work and I haven’t got the time but I hope you do enjoy my festive posts I have coming up.

Todays post is a few gift ideas for all the girls, even the fussiest! This is just some ideas from my personal collection of products, but I will be doing lots more gift guides for everyone so keep an eye out.

All images will have clickable links to shop the item!

 

Beauty Box Storage from Beautify

christmas is the perfect time to splurge on some makeup storage, every girl has makeup right?! And these beauty box are great for storing lots of makeup and plus it looks so stylish too. These beauty boxes can be really expensive I’ve seen some for around £100-250 which I would never pay. But this box starts at only £39.99 which is an absolute bargain and this is only the small size, as you can see it fits so much makeup in, perfect for us makeup junkies. It has 5 deep drawers and then the top compartment with a lid, it also comes with a divider to help organiser lipsticks or other little bits.  I know every girl would love one of these under the christmas tree! I’ve just ordered my sister one of these actually for Christmas and I know she will love it.

Lipstick holder From Beautify

Another item from Beautify and it’s this Acrylic lipstick holder with lid! I love having my lipsticks on display and this fits lots in, every girl has a lipstick collection so this is a must, At only £11.99 this is a great affordable gift. And the fact it comes with a lid is even better it saves them getting dusty and dirty. I get asked so many times about all my beauty and makeup storage and I love getting new storage for christmas as im bound to get new makeup to put in it. Beautify have some other really affordable products so check out the full range online.

Hollywood Vanity Mirror

This is the most expensive item in my gift guide but I got this for christmas last year and it was the best present ever so I had to mention it, what girl wouldn’t want one of these?! perfect for any makeup or beauty lover, this hollywood light up vanity mirror is so glamorous and a must for any vanity desk! illuminated mirrors UK have the best selection of mirrors I’ve come across, most of the ones I see are from america but this company is from the UK and they are so helpful, and stock lots of gorgeous mirros. You can get table top LED, wall mounted, and even bluetooth mirrors to play music from. These start at £179.99

Makeup

You can’t go wrong with makeup, I’m sure every girl puts makeup on their christmas list, and I just wanted to mention about tk maxx, I found some of these too faced products in tk maxx recently for more than half the price so make sure to have a rummage in your local tk maxx as you could find some real bargains! The beauty department in Tk maxx is amazing at the moment and they have so many good products That will be great for stocking fillers as well. I got this shadow insurance for £4.99 when it retails for £17. Also the eyeliners were £5.99 and retail for £19. They also had makeup forever, nars, real techniques to name a few.

Trevor Sorbie Keratin and Argan Hair Tong

Now on to hair care, I have tried a lot of hair curling tongs and this is by far my favourite, I have medium length thick hair and this can create gorgeous textured waves and curls with it’s 32mm barrel. The barrel is infused with keratin and argan oil which leaves hair silky smooth. These are really easy to use and hold, I’m no pro when it comes to curling hair but even I was impressed with the results when I used these for the first time.  I also can’t live without my trusty tangle teezer this is the best brush ever and the only one I ever use now. Plus they have So many fab styles to choose from obviously I had to go with gold!

OUAI Hair care

OUAI hair care is more on the pricey side as it’s a luxury hair care brand from Jen Atkin, So it’s the perfect time to treat someone to these products. The texturizing hair spray, dry shampoo and hair oil are my favourites of the bunch and they smell and leave hair feeling amazing!!

xmas-gift-guide4

 

 

Perfume and Fragrance

Christmas isn’t christmas without some perfume under the christmas tree is it?! Black opium is one of my favourites at the moment and it seems really popular too, perfect for day and night you really can’t go wrong with this.

gift-guide2

 

Dermalogica Skin and hair care

Dermalogica is a skin care brand which offer amazing products for every skin type, They have been around for years and help you get healthy beautiful skin, I’ve tried a few bits from dermalogica and I am so impressed and have seen such a difference in my skin texture and appearance. It is a little bit pricey so if you can’t afford to treat yourself throughout the year then Christmas is the perfect time to ask for this. you can only buy Dermalogica from authorized skin specialists, salons/spas or official Dermalogica stores.

Products I would recommend

– Phyto replinish oil

– Body buffing chritstmas set

– Daily cleansing shampoo & conditioner

– Age rewind eye complex

DHC Beauty

DHC is a japanese beauty brand that sells skin care, body care and makeup. A beauty gift set is a must for christmas. This beauty BENTO set has everything you need for gorgeous skin, it comes with 4 popular DHC products including deep cleansing oil, moisture strips for the eyes, mild soap and blotting paper. I’ve tried a DHC eye mask before and loved it, it left my eyes feeling so smooth and hydrated! This is definitely a set for anyone who loves trying out new brands and skin care products. And is great for sampling a few of the great products from this brand.

Michael Kors Jewellery

I can’t do a gift guide without mentioning Jewellery now can I? if the someone your buying for literally has everything jewellery is always a winner, who doesn’t love some new earrings. I personally love Michael kors and Marc Jacobs jewellery as it goes with my watches. I always get lots of comments on this bracelet, and it goes with anything I pair it with. We all want jewellery we can wear and not just look at.

GIft vouchers

Again if you really are struggling with ideas, Gift cards are always handy to have, it’s an excuse to do some shopping in the christmas sales, it might be boring to give someone just a gift card for christmas but it’s definetly useful! New look, Amazon, river island are some of my favourites to receive at Christmas.

I hope this gift guide has been helpful, I will have plenty more coming up for the whole family! I often get told I’m the hardest and fussiest person to buy for and I love all the gifts I’ve mentioned in this post so hopefully I’ve helped you if have to buy for someone who’s difficult hehe.

Thanks for reading xo

    Firstly can we just appreciate your dressing area!! wow!! I love that lipstick holder – what a great idea! I need your makeup collection. I love the makeup drawer as its so tall – mine is too small. I need a bigger one like that.

Instagram post 2195956230747653109_1783056942 Another job ticked off the list and one step closer to finally finishing everything in the kitchen yay. 😊 I really wanted an antique mirror cooker splash back, it’s the reason I didn’t go for tiles in here and went for up-stands instead as I didn’t want it looking OTT and I definitely think less is more in the kitchen. This white antique glass was specially made and took about 6-8 weeks but I love it. 🤩You can really see the antique detailing up close (swipe for pic) although we have had some slight issues with the measurements on the boxing in area around the island which we also wanted in glass. A little disappointing, so that’s got to be sorted out but I’m hoping it will be done before Christmas 🤞🏻
Instagram post 2194485613385040070_1783056942 I just love Christmas decor ☺️ everything feels so cosy 🎄✨I’m surprised I’ve got any chocolates and sweets left on my tables though, because my niece keeps trying to eat them all when she comes over 😂
Instagram post 2191427262954847526_1783056942 Christmas tree reveal 🤩🌲🎄 Although I pretty much showed it on my Instagram stories🙊swipe for lots more up close pics....it’s a bit of a weird one this year, as I’m not feeling Christmassy in the slightest yet, this tree and all the decorations were supposed to be for the new kitchen but that plan has gone out the window thanks to the two new puppies that have taken over my kitchen. So I’ve used all these bits for the living room instead. Sorry for my lack of posts,  I’ve got a hell of a lot going on and I’m still not 100% myself. Details below •Christmas tree 🎄 -  is the snowy alpine 6ft from @christmastreeworld and I am obsessed! It’s so gorgeous and full looking! •All the flowers and sprays - from @tonyalmondonline ( my best find this year for amazing affordable decorations) •other decorations from @therangeuk and my local garden centres @longacresbagshot & @oaktreegardencentre •made the Dalmatian baubles myself it was so easy •stocking holders @homesense_ukie and the fluffy stockings are from @ebay_uk
Instagram post 2161898517256610027_1783056942 Can’t believe how many messages I’ve had about this when I posted it on my stories over the weekend🙈 I literally just wanted something to store all my hair styling tools so they didn’t look all messy and tangled. I ended up on eBay and found and ordered these wall mounted holders...I didn’t even know they did special dyson hairdryer holders but I had to have one! I sprayed mine gold (obviously) because I didn’t want them black or silver and attached them to the side of my Ikea Alex unit and I’m so pleased with how it looks ☺️ These GHDs are also yearsssss old but some how still work perfectly and I can’t part with them because they’re a gorgeous gold! 😭
Instagram post 2159733328956404215_1783056942 Another side of my beauty/dressing room....I’ve always wanted a proper dressing area, somewhere I can get ready and have all my clothes and accessories to hand. Before I was going in 2/3 rooms just to find bits, as I had it all scattered around 🙈 So pleased I went with the ikea corner pax wardrobe and got very excited over the pull out tray for my jewellery and accessories. (It’s the little things)...I don’t need no fancy pretty hammonds wardrobe....Ikea will do me nicely 😂 My bags won’t be staying like this either as I need to get another shelf next time I go to Ikea. I originally thought I needed more rail space but turns out I don’t, I think I just liked the idea of these pull out rails 🤨
Instagram post 2158948923392640130_1783056942 I recently switched my beauty room around, (if you watch my stories you would have seen) So I now have the bigger spare bedroom for my beauty and dressing area yay! And I’m so pleased with it. 😍 I’ve got so much more room now and I had a good sort out and declutter while I was at it, and no more buying makeup I don’t need✋🏻 the Dalmatian spots won’t be going back on the wall but I’ve got use for them somewhere else 👀 I love Dalmatian print but I thought with my new Dalmatian rug it was a little over kill 😂
Instagram post 2153923616537239998_1783056942 Got these faux fur Dalmatian cushions from next for the living room...didn’t like how they looked in here for some reason, as preferred my other ones🙈 so these are now on the sofa in John’s gaming room 😂 I’m wondering if he will notice that my dalmatian print obsession will slowly be taking over in that room too 👀🙊
Instagram post 2145183689364329446_1783056942 I love me some gold and spotty print office stationery!! America have the best stuff, which I’m sorry to say is where most of this is from but I often see gorgeous bits in tkmaxx and Homesense. Now my desk is all clean and tidy I must get back to actually blogging and doing some work 👀✍🏻👩🏼‍💻
Instagram post 2141417990762366426_1783056942 Never seen such gorgeous and unusual coloured pampas before. 😍 Absolutely love @foxglove.studio / @foxglove.studiothekiosk for their amazing selection of dried flowers and the service is always brilliant. These are like a grey/ silver tone and are absolutely beautiful and so fluffy. I’m hoping their  website is up and running soon so I can browse and buy lots more 👀🤞🏻plus so many people keep asking me where all my dried flowers are from 🌾🌾
Instagram post 2140125822890435114_1783056942 So happy I got these over the sofa side tables. I’ve had my eye on these for a while now and found them in my local tk maxx and they weren’t damaged for a change so I had to get them. They make the perfect side tables when you don’t have much room. 🖤
Instagram post 2137810722707854654_1783056942 Another dried flower display I’ve done for my kitchen. Not going to lie, I think this one might be my favourite🙊 I looked everywhere for white jugs, and found the bigger one in Homesense and the smaller one is from ikea. 🌾☺️
Instagram post 2136361341081284264_1783056942 The desk and beauty room only looks like this 2 or 3 days out of the week 🙈 I spend more time cleaning up all the wreckage of getting ready each day. But it’s so satisfying when it’s all tidy again 🖤
Instagram post 2132679529616284897_1783056942 I Love a coffee table display book as people call them. Although I actually love reading them, and using the pages and the art in my photos as backgrounds. I need to get back into taking more photos like that but I’m enjoying posting and sharing more lifestyle photos as that’s what I’m currently loving 🖤 but here’s a couple of shelves from my unit in the living room 😊
Instagram post 2128377421626793349_1783056942 Sunday chores calls for cleaning, washing and ironing. 🧼 🧹 👚👖 but it’s crazy how having my new utility room actually makes me enjoy cleaning and doing my washing now. Just love how everything is organised and easy to find and separate from the kitchen. 😊
