Christmas Wish List!

Dear Santa, Lapland, North Pole,

For Christmas this year I would really like some of the following beauty products please:

• OPI Muppets nail collection. My friend has bought this recently and it is out of stock every where I look!

• A bath bomb from Lush, I particularly like the little Christmas pudding one, so cute.

• Collection 2000 concealer, I keep reading fab reviews about this product, and it's so cheap!

• Soap and Glory make-up, have not tried this brands make-up collection and am desperate to!
• Elemis bath time treats, I love anything Elemis to indulge myself in the bath, so some of their bath range would be fab!

•  Liz Earle face pampering treats. The exfoliator and mask especially are currently missing from my bathroom and I could do with these being stocked up!

• No 7 Poppy King limited edition lipstick, beautiful and the perfect stocking filler!
• L'occitane hand cream, in this cold weather I can never have enough tubes of this miracle cream!
• A Nails Inc collection, I found this great one in TK Maxx earlier:

Estee Lauder Sensuous Nude perfume, a great smell for the Winter and coming into the Spring.

And finally, Philip Kingsley elasticizer, seeing the reviews when this was in GlossyBox this year reminded me how much I love this hair treatment, but the price is too high to buy every month.

Thanks Santa!
I will be sure to leave a mince pie, sherry and some carrots out for you on Christmas Eve, so please stop by, and I would be delighted to find any of the above items under my Christmas tree!

Merry Christmas!

Love Stace x

Christmas gift ideas!

There are some amazing gift ideas in the shops, and I should know as I have spent a lot of time browsing trying to find that perfect gift! Some of my fave beauty sets I have stumbled upon in the department stores have been:

L'occitanne, Elemis, Lancome, Bare Minerals, No7, Soap and Glory... the list could go on!

But the problem with all these sets is they are just one brand. So imagine how excited I was yesterday, when I was Christmas shopping in Bath and found these little beauties for sale in Debenhams:

This collection contains: Benefit Dr Feelgood Complexion Balm 1.8g, Burt's Bees Radiance Day Creme 7g, Dead Sea Spa Magik Boosting Mask 5ml, Dead Sea Spa Magik Moisturiser 5ml, Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream 15ml, L'OCCITANE Shea Butter Hand Cream 10ml and Natio Ageless Illuminating Primer 20ml.

This collection is currently available on Debenhams online and some stores. When I was in store yesterday it was only £13.50! What a bargain! It is worth buying this for the Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream alone which is worth around £22!

I personally thought this was a great gift idea for my beauty mad friends, and have now added it to my own Christmas wish list as well! But I think at this price it won't hang around for long!!

I also found this set in store, which unsurprisingly is out of stock online, but there were some in the Bath store. Luscious lashes contains:

Eylure Individual Lashes Set, Eylure Naturalites Lashes Set, bareMinerals Flawless Definition Travel Size Mascara, Benefit BAD gal Brown Mascara and Urban Decay Skyscrapper Multi Benefit Travel size Mascara.

Good luck trying to find this one!

Hopefully that has given you some ideas for Christmas presents. The other thing I love to do is make up my own packs similar to the above out of my own products which I don't use. I often buy packs of beauty products as it's cheaper, and there will always be the odd product I don't use. And then you can package them as you wish!

What Christmas present ideas have you got this year? Please let us know!

Stay Beautiful!
