Christmas 2014

So I am a little late to the party with this one! At Christmas and New Year I get very out of a routine and somehow instead of having more time I feel like I have none! Anyway I wanted my first post of the New Year to be a lovely positive one about some lovely things I was very lucky to get for Christmas. My family is pretty small so this won't be as crazy as a lot of the 'what I got for Christmas' hauls, but I am super happy with everything!

So first I went to my friends on Christmas Eve as is tradition! We had pizza, played Cards Against Humanity and swapped presents! Mine seem very themed! I got a lovely Alice in Wonderland Cheshire Cat mug and some caramel coffee from one friend, and some drinking fudge (which is amazing!) some 'Plush Puffs' and a bottle of Salted Caramel Popcorn vodka which isn't in the picture and was all consumed last night... I am a big foodie and all of these are going down very well!

Christmas Lush Haul! Nightingale, 12 Days of Christmas, Snow Fairy, So White and lots more!

I love Lush, therefore I love the Lush Boxing Day Sale! I usually head down later in the day, firstly as I like to sleep in and secondly I am not one to deal with mental crowds! However there were some lovely boxes I really wanted to try to get so I headed down for opening time this year.

I managed to get the two Christmas boxes I had wanted. The Rosie box was from my lovely neighbour.

Memebox Special 74 Cleopatra: Unboxing and Review

Cleopatra, comin' atcha. Cleopatra, comin' atcha. If you recognised that, then you are extremely cool.

Memebox Global Shop

This box was a $29 box and I was expecting lots of luxurious milk products, as everytime Memebox puts a milk product in a box Cleopatra's name come up!

Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Blush Palette: Review and Swatches

When I first saw this gift set I fell in love with the idea, a fabulous selection of Benefit's blushes altogether. However, I decided against buying it as for some reason I assumed it was a cardboard palette! (Perhaps due to the cardboard box it came in? Who knows!?) I don't like cardboard palettes as they are not durable and look scruffy very quickly in my collection! As soon as I realised this was a tin I had to get it!

The attention to detail on the tin is wonderful!

Urban Decay Full Frontal Lip Stash: Review and Swatches!

I am a big fan of the Urban Decay Revolution lipsticks as the formula is very creamy and pigmented. I don't have very many as I feel I have the colours covered in other brands, but when I saw this Full Frontal lipstick stash I had to grab it from Debenhams. I did preorder it but there were a lot on the shelves when I went in to pick it up so I don't think a pre order was necessary.

Outer box and inner packaging are the same design.

Haul: Christmas Lush!

Christmas Lush is the best Lush I always find! I love sweet smells and the Christmas collection always smells like marzipan, sweets and all sorts of delicious things. I always stock up before Christmas and in the post Christmas sales and I tend to be set for most things until the next Christmas!
I tend to pick up any gifts I like the boxes of, shower gel and soaps after Christmas when they are half price, a little cheeky I know!
