Well for the first year since I’ve started blogging I’ve decided to take part in Blogmas. What is Blogmas? It’s a challenge to try and blog every day during December, so hopefully it will get me posting regularly again! And what better way to kick off the festive season than a Christmas wish list! So here a few things (both realistic and fantasy) that I have on my wishlist this Christmas. So if anyone wants to help me out with this then feel free to send them my way
1. Jo Malone London Red Rose Cologne – Brown Thomas - €102.00
I have been obsessed with Jo Malone fragrances lately and every time I pass by BT I find myself loitering around the counter spritzing myself with their delicious smelling goodness. My particular favorite is the Red Rose scent, it lasts FOREVER and it smells amazing, floral with a hint of lemon and mint that brings out a freshness that I just love. This along with Chanel Mademoiselle are the two perfumes I’m hoping for this year.
2. OPI Trend On Ten – Debenhams - €30.60
O.P.I. are one of my favorite nail polish brands and this kit of minis has all my favorite shades (including Alpine Snow!) like Lincoln Park After Dark & Malaga Wine which are perfect festive shades, there’s even a glitter. Perfect for the festive season.
3. Crabtree & Evelyn 60 Second Fix For Hands – Arnotts - €32.50
I recently attended the Crabtree & Evelyn launch in Arnotts and I’ve been trialling some of their products over the past few week (review coming this week actually) and this hand cream kit was the one I was most impressed with. It’s easy to use, takes 60 seconds, and the rosewater kit smells delicious. As you can tell, I really like rose scented beauty products. The kit includes a scrub & an intense hand cream.
4. MAC Ruby Woo Lipstick – Brown Thomas - €19.50
The queen of all red lipsticks, Ruby Woo is a lipstick every girl should own. My most favorite red shade ever, it has a blue-base and a slight orange tint so it suits most skin tones. I ran out of this shade awhile ago and I’ve had my eye on a replacement ever since.
5. WAH London Ultimate Nail Kit – Boots - €110.00
The main reason I want this kit is for the nail tools included, the clean-up brush in particular. At the Boots Christmas launch I was lucky enough to have my nails done by the WAH girls and I was fascinated by how well their tools work compared to mine, and then they told me they were in the kit so then there I decided it must be mine. It also includes some great nail art pens and their nail polish shades which I’d love to get my hands on too.
6. Nima Brush Artistic Collection – 7 Piece Pack €74.99
I have a few Nima Brushes at the minute, and they are my go-to make up tools but I could do with more. One of the best presents a girl (or a guy) can receive is a set of good make up brushes. Once they are looked after they last for ever and will be well worth it. The Artistic Collection is GORGEOUS, a duck egg blue brush with rose-gold accents and I’ve read a ton of positive reviews from my Irish blogger friends (of whom a lot of are MUAs) so I’m looking forward to trying more out hopefully.
7. Daffodile Kit Platforms – Louboutin – €745.00
These shoes need no introduction. I have always always ALWAYS wanted a black pair of Daffodile Louboutins, I just think they are the ultimate staple black platforms and wearing them would make me feel like Angelina Jolie. This may or not happen in reality but I have my dreams. They’re just gorgeous, literally my perfect shoe.
8.One Direction Tickets – €59-90.00
Sometime during the past few years I became a true One Directioner. I went from thinking they were an annoying hyped up teeny-bopper band to reaching the point where I am a 25-year-old with a One Direction advent calendar. I think it was once they turned 20 and I didn’t feel like such a creep for loving them… ZAYN though. Seriously. During the summer I went to see 1D in Croke Park with my sister, in an ankle cast, and I am not ashamed to say it was AMAZING. So naturally when they announced two Irish dates in the 3Arena I wanted to get tickets. I hope Santa can beat the rush on Ticketmaster to book me some…
There’s a few of the things from my Christmas wish list that I’d love to receive this year, if you’ve done a post on what you are hoping to find under the tree on the 25th leave the link below please as I love to have a snoop
