Christmas Gift Sets

I love this time of year the weather is getting warmer, its time for parties, Sunday afternoon drinks and its almost time for Christmas! I love the spirit of Christmas, the time spent with family and friends, the decorations, gift buying and the overall festivities.

 

When it comes to beauty this would be one of my favourite times of the year I love the beauty packs that each brand launch every year. This packs are not only great value for money but there normally the best of there products for the year, in the best packaging but my favourite part is that you can buy the gift sets that are mini's or sample sizes so that you can try without having to buy the full size not knowing wether or not you will like it. I did this last year with the benefit gift pack I loved it ! It was $36.00 and had around 10 to 12 travel size items. I had never used many Benefit products before so this was perfect for me to try and than buy the ones I wanted from there.

I have seen some of the Tarte collection and I think they look amazing! I really want to get my hands on some of that. Also Mac do a great Holiday Collection so hopefully I can try some of those.

Today in the mail I recieved a Mecca catolgue which got me even more excited for the upcomming season.

The Nars limited edition Fashion Tech Gloss looks perfect for me you get 4 in the pack for $52.00

Another Nars gift set is the Laser cut cheek eye and lip set which gives you 3 eye shaddows, A blush and bronzer and a miniutre lipgloss for $79.00
 

Lastly from Nars is the Hi def lip colour pencils - you get 5 for $65.00

 

 

 

I have always wanted to try out the Mecca brand of skin care however it has been on the pricy side and have also bought cheaper but again they have created a great travel size pack with 7 travel size skincare products for $70.00 which has everything you need to trial out there skincare before buying the full size.

The most excited limited edition gift set of this year would be the Glam Glow gift set for $92.00 which comes with the full size Thirstymud hydrating treatment and smaller size of the supermud and youthmud.

Now by no means is this all of the gift sets available honestly this year Nars has got so many amazing gift sets that I believe are the perfect presents.

If the above ones are too expensive Bare Minerals have some great stocking stuffers. The first one is a lipgloss and mascara for $19.00 and the second 2 lipglosses for $26.00.

 

 

 

 

Hopefully that helps you for some great ideas. All in one shop!!!
 Happy shopping !!!

The world of Benefit!

Let me just start by saying WOW! I had never really used many benefit products before, so I was so very happy when I received some for Christmas. All the products I recieved are amazing, the quality of each item is outstanding and definitely worth the money.

It’s no surprise, like I’ve said before I am a sucker for the Christmas packs so I could resist picking up two, plus some other goodies.  As I was haven’t used to many of the benefit makeup before I went for the more main stream products, which have raving reviews on them, from blogs, to instagram to YouTube.

 

The POREfessional – this is truly a great product! I love everything about it. I do feel like it does minimise the appearance of my poors and truly does prime my face ready for foundation. It is very lightweight and doesn’t leave my pores feeling oily or congested.  My skin feels very moisturised after using this which does help keep my foundation on for longer. It has a fresh, zesty sent to it I love waking up in the morning and putting this on!

 

 

 

Boi –ing Concealer- This is such a great product , I feel it really does cover any blemish, red shots, bags or anything I need to cover up. This for me is my perfect colour so I will be using this more to cover any pimples or red pigments on my face. I would really use this as an under eye concealer as it doesn’t brighten that area. I might purchase another of these in a lighter shade to than put under my eyes. They call it a Industrial strength concealer, I would agree with it being a full coverage, long wearing product.

 

SugarBomb and Coralista – immediately when I think of benefit cosmetics I think of these two blushes. The quality of their blushes is literally out of this world. There are so incredible pigmented and soft they glide onto the skin so smoothly leaving a natural, effortless colour. The peachy pink tones in both of these suit my skin type and feel they do highlight my cheek area when wearing them. These bad boys last all day! If you haven’t already check them out!

So the boxes have scratches and bite marks on them thanks to my dog!

 

 

 

 

The little love potions- I loved this pack! I love to try out products before I decided to purchase the full size as I get bored of products so easily! This is a great way to see what products I like, what suit my skin, what really work, the smell of them, and plus there great for travelling!  I for some reason didn’t purchase Hoola so I can’t wait to try out the mini so I can see if I want them full size.

 

 

I have a video coming your way on all the items I got for Christmas so keep and eye out for that!

 

As always please leave any comments below.

 

Thanks everyone
