I've been dreaming of a White Christmas..

YSL Mascara Set (£22.00) / Liz Earle Shampoo & Conditioner Set (£16.00) / Naked Coco De Mer bundle (£9.00) / Stila Lip Glaze Set (£16.00) / Tesco Polka Dressing Gown (£14.00) / Laura Ashley Jewellery Trinklet Pots (£15.40) / Benefit Flawless Set (£29.50) / Boots Jumbo Hair Tongs (£15.99) / Jimmy Choo Perfume (£39.00) / Liz Earle bundle (£26.00) / OPI Best of the Best of the Rest (Sold out everywhere!) 

As i've been perfectly well behaved this year (and the fact i was ordered into supplying a list by certain family members and boyfriends alike) - here is my very pretty, perfectly pampered Christmas List! And whilst i've been busy wrapping up presents as my house, of which is slowly resembling a Royal Mail sorting room with crazy amounts of parcels, i've been decorating my very own Christmas cards and listening non-stop to this.. 

Trust me, this song is horrendously addictive.

Each year, at Christmas my mother buys me a chocolate advent calendar. Don't get wrong, i'm all for tradition,  but i'm not all that fussed about chocolate really- yes, i really did just say that.  And after reading this post a few months back on British Beauty Blogger's blog i knew i couldn't just settle for the run of mill Cadbury's calendar..

The L'Oreal Advent Calendar has just landed at Selfridges, retailing at £60 a pop, this little piece of Christmas came early, counting down the days with a beauty treat. Say what? Each little window houses a miniature skincare, perfume or make-up item to trial and test, from brands such as YSL, Lancome, Armani, Shu Uemura. 

For a full list of products included visit the lovely Charlotte's blog Lipglossiping.

What a fabulous idea? £60 is a bit of a stretch, but in terms of the amount of products and quality - is it not worth it? I'm seriously toying with the idea, and i don't even think i'm falling for the gimmick side of it, package it as an Easter Egg gift, i would probably still be interested! No, but seriously if they were marketing it as a 'testing the best of..' i would be still be inclined to buy. 

Would you?

The Real Christmas List

The boy has requested a Christmas List, so that he can surprise me and get me something nice :) So, after a full day of pondering i have whittled it down to:

How classic are these earrings? Trust me they look fabulous in real life, alongside my matching bracelet. Plus, its Tiffany - who needs a reason? ;)

I love H&M bra sets - enough set. Beautiful, they do the job and they are amazing value - ranges from £7.99 to £12.99 for pretty bra.

Self Explanatory.

I have been dying to read this since my holiday, i just haven't had time to pick it up yet. I do love a good blood thirsty crime thriller!

I fell in love with this perfume, it has amazing staying power plus a very, very addictive sent. I did look very odd last Thursday when i kept having a sneaky sniff of my wrist. cringe.

How traditional, isn't it what Christmas is all about? Cosying up in a nice fluffy dressing gown, away from the cold outdoors, with plenty of Christmas chocolates.. nom nom nom.

Of course i don't expect everything on this list.. i'm just being prepared and thinking ahead for Valentines Day ;)

Christmas Wish List

I have really gotten into the Christmas mood this year, even more so than usual. I've already listed what I'm buying friends and family and shopped for most of it online - although i do love picking up small, christmassy stocking fillers in the big Christmas shop. I adore buying and searching for gifts for people, i always, always try to buy something special. However - this is a great downfall on my bank balance, but it is so worth it.

I have spied these bits and pieces that will most definitely be going on my Christmas List:

Vivienne Westwood Pearl Choker - ASOS (£85.00)

I love collecting jewelery! I don't buy it often, but the bits i have are really special (and expensive). I've been pondering over Vivenne Westwood jewelry for a while, although i think the earrings are farr too chunky for my ears. But i adore this pearl necklace with the iconic orb symbol, its very pretty. I have an unhealthy obsession with pearls.

Mac - Do The Trick Buff and Line Brushes - (From the Holiday collection) - (£39.50)

Includes: 68SE, 187SE, 219SE and 252SE.

This Mac brush set is perfect for my collection and what a bloody saving! And after the Mother spent hours in House of Fraser last Sunday befriending most of the Mac sale assistants then hopefully, i will be unwrapping this ;) but please Mac sale assistants continue to serve me and not making mental lists for my Mother!

Mac Naughty Noir Eye Bag - (From the Holiday Collection) - (£27.50)

Includes: Shimmertime Pigment, Black Track FluidLine, Zoom black Zoom Lash and 209SE liner brush.

I love this diddy set too! I'm a smokey eye girl and nude lips girl. And I'm very eager to try the gel liner and a pigment - I'm quite lazy when it comes to eyeshadow. I'm a mascara whore.

Chanel by Danielle Bott - Play (£16.99)

I bought this book for a friend's birthday last year and i disgustingly regret not buying a copy my self. It is full of beautiful images and detailed information on the rise of Chanel brand, focusing on clothes, accessories, jewelery and cosmetics. The perfect coffee table book.

Nails Inc 10 Piece Marvellous Minis Collection - QVC online (£22.00)

Includes: Victoria, Dover Street Market, The Serpintine, Regents Park, Richmond Park, Brook Street, Shoreditch, Jermyn Street, Little Venice and Pall Mall. (i fucking love these names)

I'm obsessed with Nails Inc vanishes, they come in stunning shades that you couldn't pick up in drug store brands. I spotted this on the QVC website, that a friend recommended, what a bargain and a great way to try out shades in a mini version. Infact i think I'll most just probably buy this when i get paid ;).
