LAST MINUTE XMAS SHOP!


JUST 5 SLEEPS TO GO...

LAST MINUTE GIFTS!

So by now if you're anything like me you might be beginning to panic at how quickly Christmas day
is approaching and how little time left there is to organise all the gifts!

Let me help you out with a few more gift ideas which I think would make perfect last minute gifts if 
you need something for someone like a work colleague, family member, friend or if you're just after 
a few extra things to fill all those stockings!

Make Haircare Gift Packs!

These come not only in the 'Blonde' variation above, you can also pick up the Make Voluminous Gift
Set, Vibrant Gift Set, Hydrated Gift Set and Soft Gift set. Take your pick, they are all trio packs great
for the hair obsessed! Each retail for $39.95 apart from the 'Soft Gift Set' which is $42.95
Available from Chemist Warehouse both in store and online.

SHOP! - Make Haircare Gift Sets!


Trilogy Bare Faced Beauty Gift Bag!

Handy for this time of the year when so many of us are going away on long or short trips interstate or
overseas. Contains a 20ml Hydrating Mist Toner for those long haul flights, a 5ml Rosehip Oil
Antioxidant+ dropper bottle for whenever you feel the need when you're on your relaxing break. 
There is also a mini 10ml Make-Up Be Gone Cleansing Balm which is great for removing all that
makeup from all those festive celebrations, get togethers and parties!

Valued at $26.95 you can pick this one up for just $24.95
SHOP! - Trilogy Products!

Summer Salt Body Products!

I must not be the only person to have noticed, particularly over the past year or so how many up and
coming Australian, natural, cruelty free and vegan beauty brands have emerged and are quickly
becoming the preferred products amongst not only the beauty communities online, but also just your
every day person too and for good reason!

Although I'll try and use pretty much anything beauty related, I can't ignore it when great brands like
this come my way and I feel much better about myself when I use them. 

Summer Salt Scrub in Coconut - $16.00
Nourishing White Clay Masque - $20.00 (Comes with applicator brush & spoon pictured)

Vani-T Summer Tanning Products!

Yet another Australian, cruelty free and eco friendly brand is the glamours Vani-T who are all about
that natural looking chocolate fake bake! All of their products are presented in their signature hot
pink and diamond colours with their vegan makeup brushes and mineral makeup products housed 
with stunning crystals inside the packaging! You can read up my full review on Vani-T here!

SHOP! - Brazilian Bronze Self Tan Mousse - $39.95
SHOP! - Bronzing Mitt Self Tan Applicator - $11.95

e.l.f Cosmetic Gift Sets!

These are great because 1 - They are boxed and easy to wrap. 2 - They are under $20 each and 
3 - They come in a great variety of combos! 

Going along with my un-intentional theme here of Aussie brands, this is yet another! So why not
go ahead and support your fellow Aussie! Most e.l.f cosmetics are vegan and as a company they do
not test on animals, which I am so happy about and more than happy to support such a brand!

You can find e.l.f cosmetics at most K-Mart stores and selected pharmacies Australia wide. To check
to see if there is a store that stocks e.l.f near you be sure to check their website!

SHOP! - e.l.f Cosmetics Christmas Gift Sets - $15.00 each!


Mermaid Julisa & Gold Leaf Artisan Chocolates!

Ok, now you better pay attention if you want to take advantage of this delicious deal because it ends

MICHAEL HILL


MICHAEL HILL

JEWELLERY

Gift Guide & Product Review!


Who doesn't just love and adore a little bit of bling? Even when it comes down to just your every day
outfit to then dressing it up for glam night out. For me at least a little bit of sparkle goes a long way to
complete and perfect an outfit.

I have always been a silver girl at heart. Growing up a lot of my friends and family seemed to be all
about the gold, however the few pieces I did own and treasure were all silver. Over the years I have
been more adventurous and tried all kinds of colours, textures, stones and materials when it came to
my jewellery fashion choices. At the end of the day I always go back to the simplistic style and subtle
elegance of classic pieces and silver metals and sparkly clear stones.



Stud Earrings w/Cubic Zirconia in Sterling Silver - $239.00
I have three holes pierced in each ear. I was actually inspired way back in the late 90's by Britney
Spears stunning array of stunning silver jewels cascading up her earlobe from her 'Sometimes' music
video clip. I think she may have had about eight or so and she looked so beautiful and innocent. I
love that kind of girl next door, timeless class which is why I was so drawn to these gorgeous
beauties of cubic zirconia claw set in sterling silver.

Surrounded by sixteen smaller stones these large gems are uniquely designed with such a pretty
swirly pattern circling around the outer side giving them a subtle femininity about them which I
really love. 

Pendant w/Cubic Zirconia in Sterling Silver - $139.00
This gorgeous piece is my complete style all over. The super fine silver chain is light and fuss free
leaving all of the attention to the beautiful sterling silver pendant with one main cubic zirconia
in the centre surrounded by a further twenty four smaller ones around the edge.

I love how simple and classy this necklace is that I can wear with just about any outfit without
having to think about weather it is going to match, because it suits all colours and styles. Everyday and night occasions.

The great thing about this piece is you don't have to worry about it fitting you as Michael Hill let's
you between lengths of 40cm, 45cm, 50cm, 55cm or 60cm.

With Christmas looming and being just thirteen sleeps away this is sure to make the perfect gift!

So be sure to check out Michael Hill's amazing jewellery and specials this Christmas season!
They currently have 50% off selected gifts and hundreds available for under $100!
You can shop them both in store & online at http://www.michaelhill.com.au

What kind of jewellery do you like to wear?
What to you think of these pieces?

GIFTS FOR HER LUXE


CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

 Gifts For Her Luxe Edition!

Michael Hill Jewellery
Michael Hill has a great range of both budget and luxe items, however it's the luxe sparkly jewels that
us ladies like the best! If you want to spoil her, you simply cannot go wrong with diamonds. They are
after all a girls best friend! Be sure you don't miss out on Michael Hill's many specials, discounts and
mega deals going on right now right before Christmas!
SHOP! - Michael Hill Jewellery!

(Pictured below - Cubic Zirconia Stud Earrings & Cubic Zirconia Pendant on Stirling Silver Chain)































Urban Decay Naked Makeup Palettes
For makeup addicts worldwide these eyeshadow palettes are the most popular I have come across.
If the person you are gifting for loves makeup, then this is the perfect luxe gift for them! Most
makeup lovers have at least one of these palettes already in their kit, so just make sure if you are
looking to spoil them with more for their collection to make sure you don't double up & get the one
they already own! These are the four available, however there are also other smaller variations of the
Urban Decay 'Naked' makeup palettes and they also have other makeup items available.

SHOP! - Naked #1 / Naked #2 / Naked #3 / Naked Smoky

MAC Makeup
MAC makeup isn't just for the professional makeup artists, models or performers. There are a whole
lot of us everyday girls which has a huge thing for this brand. I'm not sure if it's the sleek packaging
and limited edition releases that has us hooked or the incredible shade range and hands down
iMACulate quality or all of the above. I just know if your girl loves playing with makeup, she will
love more MAC to add to her collection.
SHOP! - MAC Cosmetics Eyeshadow Quads & Lipsicks!

(Pictured below - MAC Lipstick in Snob & MAC Mineralize Eye Shadow Quad in 'A Glimmer Of Gold')

Homedics Rose Gold Vanity Mirror
This LED illuminated vanity mirror comes in both this rose gold as well as silver nickel. It is
double sided for both regular and up close reflections magnified by up to 7 times! And the LED ring
light can be used by either plugging in the mirror directly to the wall, or you can just pop some
batteries in it so you can easily manoeuvre it around to where ever you need it.
You'll be a pro at your Kylie K selfies in no time! ;)
SHOP! - Homedics Vanity Mirrors!

BaByliss Paris IPL Hair Removal System
Forget all that time and money wasted on waxing, shaving and using countless other methods of hair
removal. For the beauty loving girl who has no budget, then this is they toy to splurge on!

Fantastic long lasting results. This device is so easy to use and you can conveniently keep track of
your progress and set up treatment reminders on your phone with it's very own app!

Read about my own personal experience using this system in my full review here!
SHOP! - BaByliss Paris IPL System!


Homebodii Fashion
Enough beauty, let's move on to some equally fun stuff. Fashion!! If you have somebody special in
mind who you'd like to splurge on something romantic and a little sexy, then you simply must see
the beautiful range of the Australian Homebodii brand.

From simple sexy little PJ sets to elegant robes, dresses and beach bikini's you're bound to find a
little something to surprise her with! Homebodii even offer very nice gift wrapping so you don't
even have to deal with all of that fancy ribbon. (Add gift wrapping to your basket when you shop
online for only $2.00 extra!)

GIFTS FOR TEENS


CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Gifts For The Teen Girl!

Revo Twist Lip Balm
These mini stocking fillers are sure to please! With four delicious flavours to choose from or collect,
everyone is going to be wanting one of these in their stockings ready for school next year!

These balms are super hydrating with natural oils and ingredients like Vitamin E, Aloe and
antioxidants. They are not just a pretty face!

Other flavours you can try include -
Watermelon
Cherry
Coconut

Available to purchase from Chemcorp online for current RRP $4.99 each.

Real Techniques Miracle Makeup Sponge Gift Set
Call me old but when I was a teen, I barely every wore makeup! Ok, so I did experiment with
mascara, lip gloss, blue eye shadow and glitter. But that's about as far as it went and never did I
ever pack it on like you see teenagers do as the complete norm these days. Don't get me wrong I
really don't have a problem with this evolution. I love makeup and have always seen it as a fun way
of expressing one's creativity. I just wonder how it's gonna go down when my 5yr old suddenly turns
13 and is sporting sexy red lipstick, heavy foundation she doesn't need and fake lashes.... We will see!

ANYWAY, these sponges are a great starting point and a good staple to gift your teen buddies, as
they're a fantastic stash to have on hand for the makeup beginner as you can easily perfect and master
all kinds of tips and tricks to get your makeup on point and looking neat and fresh! Find out more in
my full review here!

Available to purchase from Priceline for current RRP $49.99

Eco Tools Boho Luxe Duo Brush Set
Like sponges, makeup brushes are also very handy for makeup beginners to have because we pretty
much all own a set or two and if your beauty loving friend, sister, daughter, niece, etc doesn't own her
own set yet, then these are a great first set to get!

As you can see there is a handy little pouch to store them in. You get three duel ended brushes so you
have all you need for your everyday kit! EcoTools are a fantastic brand I truly recommend. You can
find out more about them as I have previously reviewed one of their brush sets here!

Available to purchase from Priceline for current RRP $49.99

Oribe Dry Texturising Spray & Oribe Wave and Shine Spray
Give them a head start for the new school year with these cute minis from Oribe. It will have any
teen's unruly hair under control in just a few minutes, which is all most of them can manage that
early!

These are perfect 'throw in your bag' size for touch ups throughout the day. They also smell great and
are a pro at taming those pesky fly away in this Summer heat!

The Dry Texturising Spray will absorb all of that teenage excess hair oil and add dimension to flat
lifeless hair. The Wave and Shine spray pretty much speaks for itself, smoothing waves into silky
curves.

Shop the Oribe haircare range online here!

Body Fantasies Signature Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Spray
Perfumes seem to always be a popular gift at Christmas time however can be quite costly and at times
inappropriate for some young teens. Body sprays are a much more budget friendly and age
appropriate option.  ($7.99 each!)

These Body Fantasies come in a range of scents and make for the perfect size
stocking stuffers or to add to beauty gift baskets!

Other scents in the range include -
Vanilla
Twilight Mist
Kissing In The Rain
Sweet Pea
Pink Vanilla Kiss Fantasy

Available to purchase from Chemcorp online for current RRP $7.99 each.

VS Sassoon Evoke Hair Dryer or Straightener
Do you know a teen growing up in the blink of an eye and needs their own set of hair tools so they
stop borrowing yours? This pink set is super girlie and cute! Not only that VS Sassoon make very
good quality dryers and straighteners which last for years and always come with a decent warranty.

To find out more be sure to check out my full review on this hair care set here!

This is my own personal set I use pretty much daily and hasn't failed me yet! The storage pouch it
comes with is also very handy to store the straightener in for traveling and just general storage.

Shop VS Sassoon products quickly & easily online right here!

What else are teens into at the moment?

GIFTS FOR HER BUDGET


CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Gifts For Her On A Budget!
Philosophy Snow Angel Body Wash
This pretty pearly divine scented treat will enthral your sense of smell as you shower. The formula is
absolutely stunning and lathers up into a soft pearl of bubbles. You simply cannot go wrong here.
Everyone needs and uses body wash, so why not help to replenish their stash with a special xmas
limited edition bottle?

 Dessata Detangling Hair Brush
I have tried quite a few detangling hair brushes over the past few years and this one is my current
favourite I use all the time on both my own hair and my kids too! They come in a bunch of colourful
shades and designs so there is something these sure to suit whoever you are thinking of buying for.
(Review!)

Sally Hansen has about a billion different shades to choose from, however theses are just some of
my current favourites. The gel formula has come a long way as with these there is no need for an
expensive, time consuming LED light which in the long term is more damaging to the nail and harder
to remove. These do not chip easily and are pigmented in colour. (Review!)

This array of eight shades which has just recently been released is so pretty and in my opinion is a
slight mini version of the Naked Smoked eyeshadow palette. With all but one shade with shimmer
 this is sure to get your into the festive spirit in no time! Great colours for a sultry night out. For the
bold and brave!

This multi makeup palette is perfect for both professionals and beginners alike. When it comes to
building up a makeup collection this is a great place to start! With a million different colours and
shade options from eyeshadows, blush, contour and lipsticks, this rainbow of choice is a complete
bargain!

Bellabox Subscription
For the person who has everything, is difficult to buy for and you know they are a beauty addict then
a subscription service is a pretty good choice and a fun surprise if they're not expecting it and it just
shows up in the mail the month after Christmas! I have received a few Bellabox's over the years and
would recommend them as they are only $17.95 per month. They also have Bellobox for
men or Bellababy for new mums! Pretty great idea and who doesn't love beauty mail? I know I do!
(Review!)(Review!)(Review!)

Remington Rose Gold Hair Pack!
Rose gold everything is what's hot right now. This seems to be lusted after no matter the age group.
From teens, young adults and mature ladies, this gorgeous royal pack is sure to impress and give
stunning long lasting results which is the most important at the end of the day.
Also available is the straightener gift set.  (Review!)
