Christmas Wishlist 2016!

Hi! So, if you read my previous post then you'll know that I said I would be uploading my second post next week. However, as I'm off college ill, I've decided to post today!

As it's now December (which I still cannot believe) I thought that a 'Christmas Wishlist' would be a good thing to write about as if you're like me and get stuck for present ideas for both yourself and other people, I always read these type of posts or watch YouTube videos for inspiration. So, lets just get straight into it!

The products I'm going to be listing are things that I would personally love to receive for Christmas or things that I believe would be great gifts. I definitely do not expect to get all of these presents for Christmas as some of them are quite pricey!

Firstly, the most expensive item on my list is the original heart tag pendant from Tiffany. I've been wanting this necklace for around two years but I've always thought it was a ridiculous amount of money to spend on such a small item. However, as I've gotten older I find it harder to find things that I REALLY want for Christmas. Therefore, I gave in and put it on my list this year. This specific pendant costs £135 as it is real Silver, but who could complain when it looks as good as that?!

The second item on my list is also a piece of jewellery. These pink love heart Pandora earrings are definitely something that almost every girl would love to receive at Christmas. They're still quite expensive for what they are (retailing at £70). I've put them on my list as I personally would rather be gifted them than spend a large amount of my own money on them as I would probably regret it! I also think that these earrings would be a great gift if you wanted to go all out for your Mum.

Obviously I had to include a product from Mac as I'm a bit (very) obsessed. This is one of the new lipsticks from the Mariah Carey collection which I believe has just became available to buy today! One of these would definitely be a good present as the tube is sparkly, making it perfect for Christmas! Also, these are great for any beauty lover as there are 4 or 5 different shades ranging from light to dark, meaning there's a colour for everyone's preference. I believe that these are around £16 each.

The second make up product on my list is the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. Again, I've asked for this for Christmas as it's one of the more expensive foundations that I wouldn't usually buy myself. I've heard so many good reviews about it and they do such a large selection of shades, making it a perfect present for any make up lover. The price of this product does vary by a few pounds at different shops, however, the most common price is between £29-£31.

The last actual make up product that I'm going to be writing about is Morphe's eyeshadow palettes as they are so popular at the moment, and it only takes one look at them to see why! Personally, my favourite is the 35O (as shown in the photo above). However, this specific one often sells out VERY quickly as it is their bestseller. I think that the price of these palettes (£21) is a bargain for what you get. The colours are so pigmented and allow you to create a variety of different looks. This is definitely something that I'd ask for, or even buy for a friend.


Every make up wearer knows that you can never have too many make up brushes, right?! Well, this set of the metal Real Techniques brushes are definitely something that every girl wants to own. The set includes 7 of the metal brushes (which are their bestsellers). This would be a great gift to add to your Christmas list if like me, you love new brushes. I believe that they are currently on sale at the moment at £50, instead of £70. So, if they're something you're interested in, I'd suggest buying them now!


Last but not least, the final item I've chosen to talk about is the snow fairy gift set from Lush. Not only does the snow fairy set smell amazing, but it looks amazing too as the products inside are PINK. I don't know about you, but I'd love to receive this at Christmas! I believe that this set is around £20, and as I've had this before, I can tell you that it really is worth every single penny!


I hope you've enjoyed reading this post and I hope I've given you some ideas as to what you would like yourself for Christmas or gifts that you can get for others!
