It's that time of year again. I personally cannot wait for Christmas. Christmas is my favourite time of year. There are so many reasons why I love it, the food, seeing friends & familyand even the weather (believe it or not), I could go on for ages. But my absolute favourite thing about Christmas is buying presents for the people I love. I've said in the past how I actually don't really like getting gifts, not because I don't like presents, but because I hate the pressure of having a great reaction to the present when I open it in front of the person who gave it to me. I am an awful liar and if I didn't like something my face would give it away immediately. Anyway, I much prefer giving gifts and getting to give someone I love a present I think they'll really really enjoy! But sometimes it can be difficult to find that one perfect thing to give them. Sometimes it's easier to give them a few smaller gifts rather than one big one. So that's why I've put together this gift guide, to give you a few ideas. It's also very budget friendly, everything is under €25! I hope this helps you find a few pressies for that beauty addict in your life...
Let's start off with a little skincare shall we?! This is the Holos Anti Ageing Facial Oil I've done a full review of it HERE! I am obsessed with this product. It's very affordable at €22.20 and will last you so long! I've had mine for almost a year now! It is absolutely perfect for this time of the year too, with the weather getting colder, your skin is exposed to the harsh elements and this bad boy will keep you hydrated and protected all winter long. You can buy it HERE.
Moving onto some makeup, this is the Makeup Revolution Mermaids Forever palette. Can we just take a second to appreciate the pure beauty of this palette?!!This can be bought on Matte To Metallic for €10.99. I have a few Makeup Revolution palettes and I have yet to be disappointed in the quality of them. I am praying that I wake up to this on Christmas day, the colours are just too gorgeous!
This is the Bagsy Bronzer from the Savannah Miller X Bagsy collection. It is the perfect glowy bronzer to add that extra sparkle to your festive looks. It can be bought in Debenhams for €22.50 and 15% of that will go to Women for Women International which supports women survivors of war, giving them the practical skills, tools and knowledge they need to rebuild their lives.
Next up is a beauty Christmas cracker, a much more budget friendly alternative to a beauty advent calendar. This one is from This Works and can be bought from Meaghers Pharmacy for €13. The lovely Danielle from LilliWhiteRose has done a full blog post on all the different Christmas crackers available this year!
After receiving some makeup treats over Christmas, you'll need somewhere to store it all. Introducing the So Su Vanity Cases. They cost only €14 and can also be purchased from Meaghers Pharmacy. I really like the look of these cases and hoping to get one myself this Christmas. They look very expensive, roomy and perfect for travelling.
Next up is a little treat for a pamper night. The Body Shop have a lot of gorgeous gifts sets available this Christmas and I highly recommend going into one of the stores and checking them out for yourself. This is one of them, the Mango cube set. It costs only 9.95 and would be ideal in a Christmas stocking or as a secret Santa gift.
Lastly but by no means least, is this gorgeous little set from Zoella. It costs €22.00 and can be bought from either Boots or Superdrug. It has a divine smelling candle as well as some really cosy winter socks. I think this is just a really cute little gift set that is just perfect in a Christmas stocking.
And there you have it, nine little gifts that would be perfect for any beauty addicts Christmas stocking! I tried my very best to keep it as affordable as possible as Christmas can be quite an expensive time of year. Don't forget this Friday is Black Friday and lots of the items above will be on sale so do act fast if you're planning on picking any of these up! SO let me know in the comments what's on your Christmas list this year!
