Here's a guide with some fantastic ideas that are sure to bring smiles and warmth to your family gatherings. So, grab a cup of hot chocolate, get cosy, and let's dive into these fun-filled activities!

Sigma Warm Neutrals Palette - Enlight Collection


Sigma Warm Neutrals Eye Shadow Palette* (£29.95)

I was lucky to receive this beautiful Sigma palette, before the official launch date and I must admit- I am really impressed with it! The Warm Neutrals palette is part of Sigma's new Enlight Collection and it will launch on the 9th of December in the UK. The collection also includes makeup brushes, lip glosses, cream eye shadow bases, blushers and eyeliners and it will be available from Beauty Chamber.

Fabulous Gifts between £15 and £30.


It's time for the second part of my Christmas Gift Guide, featuring presents in the £15-£30 category. There is something for everyone, including makeup, skincare, bodycare and aromatherapy. 

Stocking Fillers and Gift Sets under £15


I am happy to report, that I have done most of my Christmas shopping already, but I know that many of you are still looking for stocking fillers and gift sets. This week, I will be sharing three gift guides, featuring a selection of items in three different price categories. I am starting with £15 and under :) 

Fashion World Shapewear Challenge


I was recently asked by Fashion World , if I would like to take part in their 'Shapewear Challenge' and as someone who needs a little bit a lot of help with smoothing their body shape, I couldn't say no :) I must admit - if shapewear didn't exist, I wouldn't even consider wearing a bodycon dress, because I am very body/self conscious and I don't like my tummy area. Anyway... 

Monochrome Manicure with Leighton Denny



This little set is an absolute bargain, especially for those who are looking for the perfect white nail polish or simply want to try the monochrome trend. For only £14.00 you get two full size Leighton Denny nail polishes - Pure Creation and Maneater - saving £8.00 in total. Pretty good deal in my opinion. The duo is my first experience with Leighton Denny  nail polishes and I must admit - I am really impressed. 

Christmas with Bath & Unwind

Beauty gift sets are always my favourite presents and I can't imagine Christmas without buying them for my family or receiving a selection of beauty goodies myself. I was kindly sent a couple of beautiful sets from Bath & Unwind recently and I must admit- it felt like Christmas and I might have squealed when I opened the box :)

My favourite Autumn/Winter Blushers


I usually wear subtle colours on my cheeks, but my blusher collection includes many strong colours too and there is no better time to wear them than A/W. The only reason why I normally avoid darker colours is because I tend to overdo my blush and end up looking like a clown :) haha. It is easily fixed though. I have three favourites at the moment, all absolutely gorgeous and nicely pigmented.

The Urban Retreat Beautique Gift With Purchase


I do love a good Gift With Purchase Offer and I must admit - they simply keep getting better. If you are still looking for Christmas gifts (or want to treat yourself) and want to get the best deal, taking advantage of GWP events is the best idea. The Urban Retreat Beautique is launching their offer tomorrow (29th of November) and if you spend £150 online, you will receive over £110 worth of luxury treats, from skincare and haircare to high end makeup. The Urban Retreat Gift With Purchase contains:

Treating Yourself Right: The Art of Self-Gifting This Festive Season

As we head into the festive season, our minds often become consumed by lists of gifts to purchase for family and friends. But who says you can't treat yourself this year too? Give yourself something nice this time: embrace self-gifting this festive season as an act of gratitude. After all, you have done plenty to deserve this gesture, right?

Love Me Beauty Box - November


Love Me Beauty November Box*  (£10.00 + P&P)

Yes, LMB did it again! They did not disappoint and delivered yet another fabulous box! This time, the box included 6 products, instead of 5 due to quality issues in the previous box. I personally haven't had a problem with any of the contents, but some of the Lord & Berry makeup last month was dried up etc, so to make up for it - there is a free lipstick this month. It is good to know that the LMB team and the brands involved really care about their customers.
