I am not the easiest person to buy for, I am the fussiest person in the world when it comes to gifts, its not that I'm ungrateful I just don't like the thought of having something I'll never use. My parents have learnt the hard way - stick to the list, no surprises. Luckily my boyfriend is cool with the fact I'm a spoilt brat and that's why I'll probably receive trips for every birthday to ensure I can't complain LOL.
1. First thing on my list is some new gym gear. I feel like I'm always buying it but never have any. I've recently turned over a new leaf and embraced waking up at 6am every morning before work to fit in a workout (mainly because when it gets round to 5pm I would rather shave my head than drive to the gym).
I came across Adanola on Instagram and fell in love with their collection.
£24.00 for top & £38.00 for the leggings - but I promise I'll wear them lots!
2. Winter jumpers. I literally have about 37 saved in my items on Asos. I just like to keep an eye on them..
This charcoal jumper dress (£45.00) caught my eye, combined with my new boots (post below)I can't wait for winter!
This orange chunky knit jumper (£40.00) is also one of my saved items!
3. NARS - I've read a lot of good things about NARS as a make-up brand so I'd be keen to try some of their products.
Audacious mascara - £21.00
Iluminating multiple in either Luxor or St Lucia (£29.00)
Light reflecting setting powder £26.50
4. Bobbi brown - I swear by the Bobbi Brown eyebrow pencil and at £29.50 its a bit steep. My boyfriend nearly died when he heard me hand over nearly £30.00 for something to draw my eyebrows on with - but its okay because I had a £20.00 voucher for my birthday plus you can't walk around with bad eyebrows.
Anyway my eyes are literally sealed up when I wake up at 6am so I want to try some of their hydrating eye cream (£32.00). I've heard it has a good cooling effect which is just what I need early in the mornings!
and the 'Vitamin enriched face base' £39.99
Another item I want to add to my make-up bag are these party stick cream shadow set. I hardly ever wear eyeshadow but would love to dress my face up abit more when I go out. At £32.00 I would hope the 'long-wear' lasts until 4am.
6. Kevin Murphy. These products have always been my weakness. They sell the products at LoveHair in Broadway and I used to always tell myself I'd just pay to get my hair done and I'd always end up coming out with at least two products and an extra £45.00 to the bill. Everything smells and feels amazing. I've recently bought some shampoo and conditioner to help grow my hair (which I've been trying to grow for a good 10 years now). I've had the Young.Again serum before and it makes your hair so soft and silky but I've ran out :( I'd also like to try the Angel Masque. Both of these products are around £25.00 but they make such a difference to my hair! Also my collection wouldn't be complete without the Kevin Murphy roller brushes - yes I know I wont be able to blow dry my hair like the stylist but a girl can dream!
7. Storage. Even though my make up bag spends 90% of its time in my gym bag in the week or an overnight bag at the weekend I love these organisers for my make up and skincare products. These are avaialable from pretty much anywhere now. The 3 draws is higher on my priority list for my sincare products just because I move my make up around so much! They have some reasonable priced ones on the MUJI website.
8. Handbag. This ASOS Suede Embossed Croc Shopper Bag has been in my saved items since before my birthday - I've been arguing with myself whether to 'treat yo self' but hopefully some nice individual will buy this for me as a christmas present! It will make a great work bag for the new year (along with me new work wardrobe - post to follow)
9. Shoes. These ASOS HEARTBREAK HOTEL Lace-up Heeled Sandals caught my eyes in the New in section this week. How lush are they? Perfection in a shoe. These babies are £45.00 (FYI I'm a size 6 hehe). I probably dont need another pair of shoes but you really cant have too many pairs of black shoes?
These boots I already actually have waiting in a big black Dune bag at my boyfriends in London *spoiler alert*. They are called 'Toulon' from Dune and I got them in black suede - I'm in love. We went to Westfields last weekend and picked out these beauties (Josh actually picked them out but I chaperoned). These are going to be a strong staple piece of my winter wardrobe. Lets just hope they are comfy!
10. Quest bars. My last request seems abit random for a christmas list but I cant justify spending £25.00 on protein bars so if anyone would like to stock me up with some Quest bars I'd love you.
I've only ever tried the Chocolate brownie flavour but they are perfect as a treat (microwaved for 20 seconds)! These can be brought from Musclefood.com or any other supplement store.
I'll promise to put on my surprised face when I open any of these gifts!
Whats everyone else lusting over this Christmas?
