Christmas Presents and Winter Sales

So Christmas had been and gone so I thought I'd show you what I got for Christmas this year!
(This is in no shape or form me bragging about what I got but I just want to show some of my favourites)
I've also thrown in some of the things I've bought over the holidays too, although I haven't been shopping much.

So firstly I got this set of 10 Revlon Top Speed nail varnishes. I thought when I first saw these that they were an odd mix of colours as they didn't really match but I love them all individually. I think my favourites are the far right one called Royal Blue, the one next to that called Cloud and the one fourth from the right called Mistletoe. Most of these varnishes are glittery and I can't wait to use them all!



I also got some more nail varnishes from No7 in a set called Fingers and Toes. I can't wait to use all these pretty colours.



And finally I got this Barry M nail varnish which as you know is my favourite brand. This is one of the special ones with like metallic strips inside. I think this will look nice to spruce up a plain colour.

I bought these shoes in Tescos of all places! I never usually thought that Tescos would sell things like these but when I was mooching around the sale items a size 7 caught my eye and I was gutted that I couldn't find any others. But I kept looking and finally found the last pair which were luckily a size 6. They were originally £22 but I managed to bag them for only £7! Major bargain!


I actually bought this 'hat' in London before Christmas. I'd always wanted one and when I saw this one I knew I had to buy it. It keeps my head so warm and matches all of my clothes.


I got this perfume for Christmas too which is the Katy Perry Killer Queen one. I had the Lady Gaga Fame last year and absolutely loved it but I wanted something else. This isn't fruity or sweet, it's quite musky and 'sexy' if anything, and I absolutely ADORE the pretty bottle! It also wasn't expensive.


My mum bought me this book and I can't wait to get started on it when I have time!


I was probably mostly excited about the Real Techniques set that I also got. I'd been nagging my mum for it for ages but I didn't expect her to get a full set, only one brush. They're dirty already too because I've been using them non-stop but they're just so soft. Really good at applying make-up and I highly recommend them.
I also got these two MUA palettes. I think everyone knows that I've kind of started collecting them now but they are just so good. The colour pigment is amazing compared to the price of £4-6 which is insane for 12 pigments. I have many different ones now, mostly neutral so I was happy to get the bright sparkly one.


You can never have Christmas without the body lotions and scrubs. I got a Gok Wan set with a body wash, shower scrub and body lotion. I also got from the No7 set Softening Foot Balm and Revitalizing Hand Saviour. And then my best friend got me the chocolate and vanilla hand lotion which smells amazing!


I also happened to get two onesies. A red and cream candy cane style one and a Primark dinosaur one that matches my brothers!


I bought this playsuit today from Liverpool. It's a really pale blue colour which I didn't think would suit me because of my hair but I think it looks quite nice. The back ties up aswel which made me love it even more. It's also the first playsuit I've ever owned. And I have a feeling that this pale blue is going to be very in style in spring and summer.


This book is absolutely amazing. Written by two sisters, they list millions of different inspiration and ideas that can help you in your photography. I've been in a bit of a rut lately with my photography so this book has been great at helping me out with my ideas.


I also got other bits and bobs like hair stuff, scarves and a new hairdryer which I'm grateful for. With my money that I got too I'm going to buy two softbox lights so that I can make my videos a lot better with amazing lighting!

I love seeing what people got for Christmas and I hope everyone got what they wanted!
Stay Happy
Sarah
