Christmas wish list: All things beauty

Hi Ladies,
I've been making my Christmas wish list for the boif the past few days, or more like I've been dropping hints like I don't know what (here's hoping he'll actually cop) but I thought I'd do a post on some of the fabulous make-up / beauty gifts I've had my eye on. I don't know what it is about beauty gifts and sets at Christmas but I love them all, anything that's in a set I'll have that thank you very much! Even tho I probably won't use half the shite that's in it I still want it because it looks pretty! So here's my top five!


Charlotte Tilbury Gift Of Goddess Skin Travel Kit

 
 
I'm sure this is on a lot of peoples wish list as this lady is thee number one hun in the makeup industry. This year she has really stepped into the limelight even tho she has been a world famous makeup artist for donkeys. She's just opened her first independent store in London and I am obsessed with her. I've been watching her you tube videos for a long time now and she is such a sassy bitch I just love her! Her looks are so flawless and I just love the way she enhances natural beauty instead of plastering on the cake.
 Her makeup techniques are so natural and simple I love everything she does! (get the picture yet? I love her!!) but this wee gem of a gift includes her magic wonder cream that she does not stop banging on about in all her videos. Apparently it's famous on the modelling scene and she would have all the babes of the day asking her to give them some back stage before shows! So if the likes of Cara and Kate are wearing it I'll take it by the bucket load please! Also included is the Goddess Clay Mask which has some very fancy peptides and some sweet almond oil in the ingredients and also her Wonderglow which is similar to an illuminating primer/moisturiser. All in all a very nice and fabulous gift set!
 Price : €50.00 (available online or in store at Brown Thomas)
 
 
Charlotte Tilbury Mini Lipstick Charms

Another gift from the lady herself, I seen this and fell in love with it. I'm a divil for the lipsticks, love them, and I really think this is great value. The set includes three of her best selling shades : So Marilyn, Penelope Pink and Bitch Perfect. A nude, a pinky nude and a red, great variety.
Price: €40.00 (available online and in stores at Brown Thomas)
 
 
Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Collection
 
I love to feel and smell good, like all women and I love my baths and showers. I have a bath every evening because it's me time, where I get to chill and relax and distress so I have added this to the list so I can be a pampered prin! I always lather on a thick body moisturiser after a bath and this stuff smells amazing!! And the packaging is just too pretty the type where you keep it on your shelf and never throw it away!
Price: €88.00 (available online and in store at Brown Thomas)
 

Zoeva Rose Gold Brush Set

I am a makeup addict as everyone knows, but the one thing I collect the most is brushes! I am obsessed! And just look at these beautiful babies! How could you not want them? They're just too fab I need them in my life!! THEY'RE SO PRETTY!!! I got a Zoeva palette a while ago and It's my favourite ever eye palette. I love the colours, the pigment is so strong and pay off is great and it was only €22.00 . Honestly if you are looking for a great present for a makeup lover without breaking the bank a Zoeva eye palette is your answer! You can get their products on beauty bay. So obviously when I seen these beauties I had a wee stroke and then asked Mr Clause if he would be so kind and sick them under my tree for me! (whether he does or not is a different story but here's hoping!)
Price: €83.80 at Beauty Bay
 
 
Chanel Illuminating Base Le Blanc De Chanel


Because I love makeup so much when I have time to relax I normally just watch my favourite you tubbers and most of them have used this in one or more of their videos and have nothing but amazing things to say about it. This bad boy is supposed to be strobe cream on steroids so I would like it all over my face at all times so I can sparkle and shine!
Price: €42.00 Brown Thomas  
 
So that's what's on my wish list, some people might think some things are pricy but stop being such miserable bitches it's Christmas!!! And it's just a wish list!!
Thanks for reading,
Love BV xx
