Christmas Beauty Gift Guide HO! HO! HO!




Christmas has finally descended upon us and I can honestly say It is my favourite time of year.  I love everything about it from the cold frosty weather to the crazy rush to buy and wrap all my presents in time to put under the tree.  It's such a fun and magical time of year.

Todays post is going to be a mini Christmas beauty gift guide.  All the gifts I have picked are things that I personally would love to receive and are great value for money.  Lets face it, it can be quite overwhelming buying gifts with the choice being so vast, so hopefully I can help some of you who up until this point have been avoiding the daunting task of buying for your loved ones.

Fragrance

Jo Malone Cologne Collection Gift Set £68


Jo Malone have really outdone themselves this year.  Their gifts are to die for and their gift wrapping is even more luxurious.  Perfect for those of you who aren't very good at wrapping, Jo Malone does it all for you.  This set contains 5 miniature fragrances perfect for someone who likes to mix and match their scents and ideal for popping in your handbag.

Tom Ford 'Black Orchid' Gift Set  £76




Black Orchid is one of Tom Ford's signature and best selling fragrances.  Rich and spicy this perfume is perfect for someone who likes to stand out from the crowd.  A normal 50ml bottle retails at £72 however in this set you also get a 75ml body emulsion all for only £4 extra.  Buy it in store and benefit from Tom Ford's luxurious gift wrapping.

Body

Laura Mercier 'La Petite Patisserie Souffle Body Creme Collection' £45




I have long been a fan of the Laura Mercier body cremes, they are so creamy and smell amazing.  This set contains all the different scents, all equally as delicious.

Lush 'Your a Star' Pampered and Perfect gift box £42.50


Every year Lush Christmas boxes get better and better.  The products are amazing and the packaging is always really fun.  This little box is indulgent and glamorous.

Makeup

Urban Decay Naked 'On The Run' £37




I spotted this the other day and totally fell in love.  If you know someone who already loves the Naked palettes then this will be perfect for them.  An amazing travel kit for any makeup junkie.

Bobbi Brown Mini 'Lip and Eye Palette'  £25




This little makeup set contains everything needed to create a simple, classic look.  Ideal for putting in your handbag.

Lipstick Queen 'Red Carpet Edit' £45 (available in SPACE NK)



I would recommend this for someone who isn't afraid to make a statement.  Containing 3 gorgeous red lipsticks in differeing textures and shades, this gift will delight any makeup lover.

Benefit 'Easiest Nudes Ever' Eye Set  £23.50




If you are looking to buy for the younger generation, Benefit is a great place to look.  Their brand is vibrant and fun.  I would recommend this gift set for someone just getting into makeup and beauty.

These are only some of the Christmas gifts on offer this season but hopefully it will give a few of you some ideas. :)
