What I got for Christmas 2011

Hello my loves,

So here is the post of all my Christmas presents. So I'm not at an age now where I end up buying my own Christmas presents 1. because my parents don't celebrate Christmas, they made a fuss when we were younger but now that we're older its kinda just not a biggy 2. I don't like surprises so if I see something I like I don't ask for it I just get it myself.

The first lot of gifts I got myself was from Avon...

 I got some Foot Works products in the scent Cinnamon Orange. The 3 items I got were:

• Comfort Soak - 99p
• Smoothing Scrub - 99p
• Moisturising cream - 99p

I wanted to try some new products for your feet and these were at a very reasonable price, I thought what the heck.

 Glycerine hand and nail Christmas cream - 99p

 I have purchased this a few times, but I had to get this one because it had the Christmas packaging :)

Avon released these new lipsticks called Shine Attract, I've never seen anything like it before and I LOVE the packaging. Its basically a pigmented lipstick in the centre and and a hydrating gel surrounding the lipstick. They come in a nice range of colours. I used one of them in my New Year Eve FOTN.

Shine Attract lipstick - Cherry Pie P301 - £3.50

Shine Attract lipstick - Orchid P202 - £3.50

Swatches:

Top: Cherry Pie

Bottom: Orchid

 Because I got these 2 lipsticks I go this Beauty Bonus box for free. The set is called Rock Star Chic.

 Nailwear Pro - Midnight Plum

 

True Colour Eyeshadow Duo in Retro Glamour

this comes with a very light purpley pink eyeshadow and a dark purple eyeshadow

 With Flash

 Without Flash

 

 Glimmerstick Eyeliner - Majestic Plum

 Swatches:

Top: Majestic Plum

Bottom: Retro Glamour eyeshadow duo

 Kavita bag - £8.40

 With the strap out- this is such a cute little handbag. I love the kind of creased effect it has on it. And the pink leather (fake of course) :)

 Little Red Dress EDP - £4.90

This perfume smells gorgeous. This is the of the Dress range perfumes.

Candyland lip balm - 99p each

• Sugar Cookies - this proper smells like cookies, delicious.
• Candy Apple
• Lollipop

I loved flavoured lip balms, especially ones that smell like sweets haha. I didn't think they would be, but I find them moisturising.

 Pro 3-in-1 lip wand - Berry -£3

 Swatches:

Top: Lip liner

Middle: Lip gloss

Bottom: Lipstick

Although it looks really nice and I like the 3 in 1 idea, the colour doesn't really suit me :(

 Color Trend Kiss 'n' go lipstick - Garnet Glow - £1.50

Amazon

I brought myself some cookbooks from

The Hummingbird Bakery Cupcake kit - £7.49

I love Hummingbird bakery cookbooks and me and my sister make a lot of them in our house but we would use her cookbook, but I wanted my own What I didn't realise is that it had the same recipes that her one had minus the cake recipes DOH! But I don't mind cos of the cupcake cases that came with it :)

 I got this little set because it came with these cute little cupcake cases :)

 Bake me I'm yours collection - £7.50

 I love this set I got, and I was very happy with the price I got it for especially as each of these books were usually £5+ :)

 The books that came in the set were...
