Christmas List

I know it's only November, but I made my Christmas List a few weeks ago! Only because this year, I actually know what I want! I'm usually one of those annoying people, who when you ask 'what do you want for christmas?' they reply 'I don't know really'. We all know them. 
Soo here it is, my list of seemingly regular and fairly average goodies I would like to find in my santa's sack!

Christmas List

I'll start with my No.7 Protect and Perfect Night Cream. I've previously done a post on this cream about 8 months ago, giving it a good review. It is so great for the skin and its only just run out! ... a perfect reason to put it as a stocking filler! 
I've put quite a few beauty gifts down this year. Including some mac make up and brushes. A fragrance set, and some nail varnishes (of course!) preferably Chanel or OPI, as these are way too expensive for my budget!
I recently received a pandora bracelet for my birthday so I thought a christmas themed snowman charm would be cute.
No stocking would be complete without a few things to fill up the days, so I've asked for a couple of DVDs, The Hunger Games and Magic Mike, my two faves of the year! As well as a couple of books, a student cookbook (I left mine in my old house, and I need some more cooking inspo) and the 'Fuck, I'm in my twenties' book from UO. Exactly how I felt when I turned 21!
As well as a few other bits and bobs...
They recently got some new iphone cases in Topshop and they are gorge! UO also has some cute ones. 
A cloche hat, very on trend, very wintery and I've wanted one for yonks. 
As well as a lovely picture frame for a bit of room decor. 




I'm sure I've put more on my list for Santa (mum) but I can't remember! You get the gist!
And as we all know, Christmas isn't about the presents, but us fashion divas need to be prepared! 
Have you written your list yet?

Hello Kiko

Hi Guys,

I'm in Spain and as my family know about my nail addiction, my auntie thoughtfully showed me this Italian cosmetics brand Kiko. They have thousands of colours for only £1.50! Not only that, they have loads of make up and cosmetics for really good prices too! 

They have everything from concealer to blue mascara and their moto is 'be who you want' which is quite nice.


Below are a few of my favourites from them and the colours that I bought. 

Something I've never seen before to test nail varnishes is putting out cellotape for the customers to tear off, put on their arm or hands and paint some of the colours on to it to see what they look like, really good idea.



I've seen crackle before but not in wacky colours, so I got two to try out.


This says magnetic but its metallic pink, a cool shiny silver affect mixed with the colour.


And these three bold colours. I got some shades that I'm missing from my collection at the moment to make it a bit more complete. I really love the orange.


And here are a few of my favourite make up bits. 

Glossy Eye Pencil  
£5.20
Soft Focus Compact Wet & Dry Mineral Foundation
£3.00

Sunproof Powder Foundation 
£5.50

Blooming Eyeshadow Palette
£3.00

Super Colour Mascara 
£5.90

Lip Glaze
£1.50

Smart Lipstick 
£2.00

Skin Evolution Concealer
£3.80

They always have special offers going on but the only shop they have in the UK is in London Westfield. They have a UK website but I'm not sure about the delivery charges. 
Anyway I think its a great international brand and I hope they bring more stores to the UK soon!
