Boots Christmas Wishlist

Hello everyone!

Well well well, it's that time of the year again. The start of December! Can't believe how quick this year has gone. I remember going back to school and then doing my leaving cert and now I'm half way through college, WHAT?! It's also Christmas this month, just for that, I am excited. I have to say a big sorry to all my readers because I have not been updating at all. I'm going on holidays for 3 weeks also, so I can write blog posts but I won't be able to post them until I'm back.

Gift Vouchers Bloggers Challenge

Hello everyone! 

I've seen a few beauty bloggers taking on this challenge from this site to win some vouchers for different stores. It says the challenge is over on the 9th of November, but on their latest post, it has been extended to the 11th! 
Here's the prizes they have mentioned on their site;

• ASOS Gift Voucher worth £35
• Topshop Gift Card worth £35
• Amazon.co.uk Gift Certificate worth £35
• JolieBox.com 3 Month Subscription
• BooHoo.com £35 Gift Voucher

There will be 2 winners and each get to pick a £35 voucher! I think that's a fantastic prize!

You can read more on their blog post which I linked above, but sure I'll link it again!

What you have to do is pretty simple. You need to pick at least 5 gift ideas for Christmas, Birthdays and any other celebrations, which is pretty easy right? But, they all have to be under £35! That's the challenge. 

Anyways, I thought I'd give this challenge a shot. What's the harm? It's a bit of fun, especially when you're bored! Here's what I came up with;

(Click on the image to see it in full size, otherwise you can't read the writing!)

I know, I went a bit overboard! But anyways. Here's a list of links and websites and all sorts for you to check out!

• Nando's Table Trio - £12.50 from Boots. (These are on special offer; 3 for 2)
• Nando's Nachos and Dip Set - £12.50 from Boots. (These are on special offer; 3 for 2)
• Nando's Oven Glove And Sauce - £12.50 from Boots. (These are on special offer; 3 for 2)
• ModelsOwn Mirrorball Box Set! - £20.00 from ModelsOwn website.
• Rio Professional Nail Art Pastels - £19.99 from Argos.
• Rio Neon Nail Art Pen Set - £24.99 from Argos.
• Soap & Glory Tricks Of The Shade Box - £16.00 from Boots. (These are on special offer; 3 for 2) 
• Soap & Glory Small Wonders Mini Hat Box - £10.00 from Boots. (These are on special offer; 3 for 2)
• Remington Jumbo Heated Hair Rollers - £19.98 from Argos. (Was £24.99)
• Remington Pearl Wand Hair Curling Wand - £15.98 from Argos. (Was £24.99)

I chose the Nandos items because personally, I love Nandos! And this gift would be ideal for anyone with a love for Nandos food! The fact they're on 3 for 2 in Boots is also a big bonus!

I chose the ModelsOwn Mirrorball Box Set because girls love nail varnish, and even better, they love glitter! The variety of colours is great, because you can nearly use them with any nail varnish you own already! I think the clear colour is a great addition to the set because you can never have enough clear nail varnishes!

I chose the two Nail Art Pen Set's from Argos because the colours caught my eye immediately. I love nail art myself and I find it quite hard to do with nail art brushes and dotting tools etc., these pens just look a lot easier to use! This would be great for someone starting out on nail artistry. 

I thought the Soap & Glory eyeshadow palette from Argos was a good bargain! I think this would be ideal for a sister or a friend or any other girl! Its good quality nude colours are especially good for people who are maybe starting out with eyeshadow, or people who just love neutral colours. It's also at a great price as you get kohl liner and liquid liner! Oh and the box is an attraction alone!

I picked the Soap & Glory mini hat box because who doesn't love Soap & Glory these days? It's so expensive to buy usually, so for a tenner, this is a bargain! Also, Soap & Glory's products are on a 3 for 2 offer as well, so make the most of it!

The last two products I chose were the Remington curling wand and the heated rollers. I chose these because they had gone down so much in price and also because I love them! I think these would be the ideal gift for a girl who loves doing her hair and also for the back-combers! How much damage are they doing to their hair by brushing it backwards? The answer is, a LOT! So the rollers would be super for them!

So there you have it! That's my little entry to this challenge! You guys should definitely try this challenge, it's fun and the prizes are amazing! I had a great time doing this! Check it out here!

Let me know if you're going to do this! Have you tried any of these products before? Are you going to? Leave any comments below!

The Top 5 Products I've Been Wanting!

Hey everyone!

Today I said I'll do a quick post! The top 5 products on my 'to-get ASAP list'. As I stated in my last post, I am creating a HUGE wishlist page and that's almost done too.. Kind of.. I'M GETTING THERE!! I also felt I needed to write a new blog post for you guys because I've been lacking, super badly! I'm not even going to get into it as I've said it in previous posts. I am truly sorry though, I will try and blog more, I keep starting and then just sitting and staring at a blank screen. It's annoying! Anyways, moving on. I'm just going to get straight into it!

LUSH | Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

The first product I want is from LUSH! As you may or may not know, I'm a big nail care/painting geek. This is the LUSH cuticle butter! Supposedly it's amazing! And that, I will have to see for myself! I have recently been addicted to LUSH products, I love their staff but obviously, I love their shop too! This cuticle butter is on my to-get list as of now! Can't wait to try it out!

LUSH | Handy Gurugu Hand Cream

Another LUSH product I've been eyeing up is the Handy Gurugu Hand Cream! Coming into winter I think a good ol' hand cream is in need! But it's also essential for me as I'm doing a hairdressing course at the moment so my hands will be in water and also touching many chemicals over the coming weeks, so hand cream is essential for me. I am planning on getting a travel size hand cream as well as this but haven't made my mind up yet on what I want. Maybe I'll try get this into a little squirty bottle. Hmm.

Toni&Guy | Casual Sea Salt Texturising Spray

The next product is from Toni&Guy and it's hair related! I honestly don't get much hair related products, but I really should start, my hair does my head in and I just feel like ripping it out sometimes! I have long hair and it's just so frustrating, but I could never get it cut short, I'd be way too scared. Anyways, I  found this texturising spray while looking through some blogs and once I seen it, I checked out some reviews! I get the feeling this product isn't exactly what I expect, but hey! I'm still going to buy&try!

Models Own | Hed Kandi Hedonist

I recently bought Models Own Beach Party and I was totally over the moon with it, so I went back to Boots to nab some more Models Own polishes. I tried this one on my nail and I fell in love with it! It's so bright and beautiful on the nails. To my horror though, they had only one left and it was opened and had nail polish all on the lid and stuff, I wasn't paying almost €8 for a used nail polish, no way. I asked the girl and she said they had no more left. So it's off to a different Boots I go, to try and pick this up!

Real Techniques | Powder Brush

The last item I want is the Real Techniques Powder Brush. I have already got their Starter Set, their Core Collection set and their Stippling Brush! I absolutely love the quality of their brushes and I'm definitely going to get more. Eventually I'll have the lot! The only downfall of these brushes is the price. I can only get them in Boots and they are a lot dearer than they are on the Real Techniques site, which is very, very annoying! If anyone knows of any other shops I can get these brushes in for smaller prices, please let me know! 

So there you have it! The top 5 products I really want to buy, pretty soon!
Have you got any of these products?
Would you tell me to stay away from any of these?
Leave any questions or comments down below! I love to hear from you guys!
