New Year's Resolutions: 2018 Edit

It's that time of year again, the time where we set out things we want to do better and things we like to change, in the hope that our next year will be better than the last. My resolutions nicely fit into four categories this year and I've decided to share ones that aren't solely to do with the blog. So I hope you enjoy, also if you're posting a similar post please link it below!

Christmas Traditions and Things to Do

I'm sure you are already knee deep in festive spirit and wrapping paper at this point in December. But as I only did 12 days of Blogmas I thought I would throw in a little post about the things me and my family do around Christmas time, you could call them traditions.

A DIY Palette (That Won't Break the Bank!)

Welcome to the last day of gifting. We made it, I completed blogging everyday for 12 days straight and I think that is a pretty good score, especially for someone drowning in uni deadlines. Today's post is short one, but is all about Makeup Obsession's DIY palettes, which are crazily inexpensive.

The Best Gift Ever: The Charlotte Tilbury Lip Archive

If you're looking for the beauty gift to top all beauty gifts this Christmas you need to look no further than this post here. This gift is the creme de la creme of beauty gifts - and one that I treated myself to when I had £15 off the Charlotte Tilbury website last month.

Last Minute Gifting: A DIY Beauty Box

Another short but sweet post today, I've been busy working all weekend and deadlines are looming before I break up for Christmas. Today's 12 Days of Gifting post is all about a gift you can DIY even at the last minute for all your beauty loving friends.

The All Rounder: A Clarins Lip Set

Now, around Christmas time especially, I have a tendency to buy myself little bits and pieces. The reason I say 'especially Christmas time' is because brands bring out such cute little giftset and I lack the will power to stop myself buying. This year a rather cute Clarins set caught my eye as it was full of miniatures of my favourite lip products.

Little but Lovely Beauty Gifts

I'm back with a short but sweet post today as it is Friday after all. Today is all about the smaller gifts, size rather than price, and a rather interesting bag which a few bloggers may be interested in.

Superdrug Stocking Stuffers: ALL Under £10

A few months ago I was lucky enough to win a competition to be a part of Superdrug's Teen Panel. Since then I have received a box each month filled with a few of their bits to try out and then report back to them what I thought. The last couple of boxes I received had starting getting Christmassy, so I thought I would collate my favourite bits into a stocking stuffer gift guide, especially as they're all under £10!

Wonderland Makeup: Beauty Gifts on a Budget?*

Halfway through the 12 Days of Gifting and today I bring you an offering from Wonderland Makeup*. They contacted me a month or so ago, offering me the chance to try out a few products. I thought they would fit perfectly into this series and here they are!

Christmas at Lush: The Cozy Gift Edit

Now apologies for the slightly grainy photos, I haven't much light to work with but I still wanted to get something up for you today. Also, I quite like the darker photos, represents the dark nights before Christmas. Today's post is all about the Christmas Collection which is currently available at Lush, I haven't got everything that is available as for one I don't have a bath at uni and two I'm on a students budget at the moment. Instead I have chosen bits that I know friends would enjoy, bits I wanted and those I already had in my (less extensive than it was but still rather excessive,) stash.

Bio-Essence: The Skincare with Actual Gold?*

We're now a third of the way through the 12 Days of Gifting, doesn't time fly when you're having fun. Today's post is all about luxurious skincare that won't break the bank. The lovely people from Bio-Essence asked if I would like to try a couple of bits and I thought they would be perfect to include as a gift idea.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Charms: The Perfect Little Gift

Welcome to the third day of gifting. The first was a Magnitone Giveaway and the second; a glimpse of the RT Powder Bleu Brushes. Today I'm revisiting a trio of goodies from Charlotte Tilbury that would make the perfect little gift for a special somebody.

The *New* RealTechniques Power Bleu Brushes*

Welcome to the second day of gifting! I hope you're enjoying the series so far. If you haven't seen yesterday's post yet, I'd head on over now for the chance to win a Magnitone Rose Gold Barefaced brush worth £90! Anyway, today we are talking about one of my favourite gift ideas ever: brand new makeup brushes, in particular the new RealTechniques Powder Bleu brushes.

CLOSED Magnitone Gift Guide* and Giveaway!

Exciting times everyone as here begins my 12 Days of Gifting. From the 1st to the 12th of December I will be posting everyday, and each day will focus on a different gift idea! First up is a pretty great post: a Magnitone Gift Guide - because who wouldn't want to receive one of their many treats.
