What I got for Christmas | Beauty Edition


I am a little bit late with this post as the Christmas holiday has flown by! However, I thought you all might like to see what I got for Christmas beauty wise. I was very lucky this year and was blessed with lots of lovely presents. Each year my Grandma puts together a little beauty bag for me with bits and pieces she has picked up throughout the year. This is what I received this year. 

Skincare
Clinique All About Eyes Serum, Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, Clarins One Step Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser, Clarins Vital Light Day, Clarins Water Purify One Step Cleanser, Clinique All About Eyes Cream
I am a skincare fanatic so I was pleased to receive all these lovely skincare goodies! I cannot wait to try them out, I am certainly stocked up for a while. I have already used the All About Eyes Serum and it is perfect for perking up my tired eyes in the morning. I have also been using the Clarins Water Purify Cleanser in the evenings after regular cleansing and it is perfect for removing those last traces of make up. It also refreshes your skin. 

Make Up
Clinique High Impact Mascara, Clinique Chubby Stick in Plumped Up Pink, Clinique Mix It Up Kisses Gift Set
I was excited to get my hands on the Clinique Chubby Stick in Plumped Up Pink as it was a limited edition one for Breast Cancer Awareness. I have tried it out already and it is a perfect pink. You can use it lightly for a wash of colour or build it up for a punch of pink! I love the Clinique keyring sets which they bring out every year and I love the fact that this year you can mix and match the lipsticks and glosses. It is perfect to keep in your handbag. 

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I got beauty wise for Christmas and that you got everything that you wished for.

  2. Such nice gifts! Every year when it gets closer to Christmas I start thinking that I should ask for more expensive skincare bits that I'd never buy myself, but every year I forget to actually ask! x

    1. It is a good idea to ask for more expensive things that you would love to try but can't afford! Thank you x
