Christmas Favourites

Christmas time is always a perfect excuse to go shopping (even if you do end up with the odd cheeky buy for yourself...). So I've had plenty of opportunities to browse around and pick out my favourite buys of the season.

One of the best purchases I've made, has to be these cute panda slippers from Accessorize.



I'd had my eye on these for a few weeks and was super excited when I found them in the sale for £9! I must admit, these were a present from me to um...myself, but they would also make a great gift on a budget for a best mate or sister!

Speaking of sisters, I also found a great bargain when searching for her Christmas present. Seeing as she is obsessed with Benefit make up, I headed straight to department store Beales where they were running a 10% off offer (also on lots of other brands).

In the end, I went for Benefit's California Kissin' lipgloss, which has a blue colour in the bottle, but gives a subtle shimmer on the lips. The blue pigment helps to make teeth look whiter and your smile brighter - bonus! This was used on me during a Benefit make-over and I'd already fallen in love with it then, so I knew my sister would love it.


Having bought and wrapped all my presents by the start of December (not bragging or anything) I decided it was time to have a little peek at what I might like... I've almost used up the last of my Paco Rabanne, Lady Million perfume and thought it was time for a new scent. Even though I did love Lady Million, I found it slightly heavy for daytime.

After testing a few, I immediately fell in love with the new Chloe perfume and put it straight on the top of my wishlist. Its subtle honey notes are gorgeous and perfect for every day wear. Let's hope Santa is feeling generous...


So with all these gorgeous gifts around, Christmas can well and truly come.

Happy Christmas everyone :) x
