Anyway, amongst the mist of festive cheer and gift-buying I have managed to pick up a few things for myself which have made it into my December favourites list! This list varies from beauty products to candles to music choices. When you have finished reading let me know if you guys have got anything this month that you love!
Cosmetic Lad Moisturiser (£12.50/ Lush)
Okay, so the first item on my list is this moisturiser from Lush (yes I might love it a little bit more than I should because I work there but it is amazing!) It was originally made for guys (as the name suggests) but trust me it works just as fab on girls! This is an amazing choice for winter as its an incredibly balancing moisturiser which nourishes the dry patches on your skin. It has super gentle ingredients which calm and soothe the skin such as aloe vera and lavender honey water. Honey is an antiseptic which means as well as moisturising your skin you're also helping prevent breakouts! It also contains Marigold which is insanely good at getting rid of any redness! AND if all that wasn't enough to convince you... IT SMELLS LIKE TERRY'S CHOCOLATE ORANGE. All of this makes it a sure December favourite for me.
White & Gold Deer Wrapping Paper (£1.50 per sheet/ Paperchase)
This one might seem a little random but I frikin love wrapping presents and trying to make them look as pretty as possible and when I seen this wrapping paper I just had to buy it! It is a little pricey at £1.50 per sheet, especially when 95% of my gifts are wrapped in it this year, but it's totally worth it for the sheer satisfaction of looking at your perfect gift afterwards. Please believe me when I say this photo does it no justice at all.
Christmas Eve Bubble Bar (£2.95/ Lush)
Okay, yes it's from Lush again but its awesome. This bubble bar gives me the most relaxing bath ever! It creates major bubbly goodness and has scents that just relax your muscles and send you to sleep like jasmine absolute and ylang ylang oil, it's also super gentle on the skin and makes you feel silky smooth when you come out, which is always a bonus! This is also a Vegan product which makes it even more special. This one would make a great little gift or stocking filler for someone who loves Lush or just wants to relax after Christmas day.
Candy Cane Lane Yankee Candle (£16.99 for medium)
This is the most sweet Christmas-y scent you will ever experience, it turns your room into Santa's Grotto! Not to mention the glass jar adds a cute homely feel to any room. This candle's scents are peppermint-y with a sweetness over it, reminding me of Christmas when I was in primary school and we would get to take in sweeties on our last day. However, all Yankee Candles Christmas Collection smells amazing, not just this one!
Ayvan Off Shoulder Knitted Jumper Dress Black (£21.99/ Missguided)
This jumper is my favourite colour (black) and I love the fit of it. As I'm quite tall it's usually hard to find a nice baggy jumper that doesn't make me look like a Christmas Pudding, but this one does the job! As its off the shoulder I will be able to wear it again in summer and at the beach as a cover up when I go on holiday. I'm currently waiting on my thigh high boots to get delivered and I cant wait because I know they will look amazing with this sweater! It comes down to just under my bum and is super cosy, it looks great with jeans, tights and especially just on its own!
Taylor Swift Christmas Album
This will be no surprise to anyone who knows me. What could make Christmas songs more amazing other than Taylor Swift singing them? I have this album on repeat all throughout the year not just at Christmas time. But at least around Christmas I can force others to listen too! My favourite song on the album is Santa Baby.
Are any of you guys finished your shopping yet or do you prefer to leave it till last minute?
