XMAS BEAUTY GIFTS FOR HER


Looking for the ultimate beauty gift, but still on a bit of a budget, don't worry, I've got you sorted with a selection of reasonably priced makeup goodies...

I'm sure you've heard of the popular Real Techniques brushes, but now they have launched a limited edition Christmas Collection of makeup brushes and sponges, and include; 




  • Midnight Mini Contour Brush, with full-sized brush head and travel sized handle 
  • Midnight Mini Medium Sculpting Brush, with an angled head specifically designed to help create defined contours, with medium-sized brush head with travel sized handle 
  • Midnight Miracle Sculpting Sponge, to help create shadows or highlight your favourite facial features 
  • Dawn Mini Expert Face Brush, for a perfectly buffed foundation finish with a with travel sized handle 
  • Dawn Mini Miracle Complexion Sponge, a 3-in-1 multi-functional sponge to create the perfect base and build coverage where needed 
  • Dawn Miracle Mini Eraser Sponges, to help sweet away your makeup mishaps 
I love the high quality of the Real Techniques brushes, and I love that these have a sized head but a mini handle, which makes them perfect for the cosmetic bag or when travelling.

And any makeup lover will know that keeping your tools clean, is an absolute must, and for that, I love the Sigma Spa Express Brush Cleaning Glove, which has been designed as a compact travel-friendly brush cleaning devise. The glove fits neatly onto the hand, and has reversible sides with different face textures, in fact, it has seven different textures, so its suitable for cleaning both eye and face brushes. 



If you haven't tried one of these, you really must, as it makes cleaning your brushes not so much easier and quicker, it also means cleaner brushes.

Another suggestion would be a selection if liquid to matte lipsticks from ModelRock, which thanks to this gorgeous gift set will ensure she'll have all her lip needs covered. If you haven't tried the ModelRock Liquid Lipsticks, you really must. These vanilla-scented lipsticks are so super pigmented that it takes just a single swipe for full saturated velvety look. And unlike other matte liquid lipsticks, these are lightweight and comfortable on the lips, and once they've set after a few moments, they are so long-wearing, easily lasting 6+ hours without drying out the lips, though I do recommend 'prepping' the lips with a coat of clear lip balm first. With the ModelRock Lipstick Gift pack you'll get a Vanilla Sunset Lip Scrub as well as you can select three different lipsticks of own choice from the large range. I got the shades; 

  • Porsha - a pale dusty rose nude shade 
  • Creme de la Choc - a classic mauve shade 
  • The Victorian - a darker berry shade 
These shades are so pretty, and so wearable too, that I'm struggling picking a favourite. The gift set also comes with a ModelRock Vanilla Sunset Lip Scrub come in a gorgeous glass style jar with a diamond looking lid. Inside the gorgeous vanilla scented lip scrub is a 2 in one formula as it has added longwear lipstick remover, including added coconut oil old, apricot kernel oil, sunflower seed oil, candelilla wax and shea butter. It comes with a little cute clear spoon and just a small amount massaged inn circular motions into the lips, will quickly and gently remove dead skin cells along with lipstick build up, and leave the lips super soft and smooth.

You can get a gorgeous silver cosmetic bag with 3 x ModelRock Lipsticks of your choice and 1 x ModelRock Vanilla Sunset Lipscrub, calued at $108 for just $69.

Available from ModelRock Lashes 



Or what about a beautiful new fragrance, as that is one of those things women often don't purchase for themselves. The new Viva la Vita Eau de Parfum from Avon is a gorgeous scent that has top notes of crisp apple, mandarin and grapefruit, middle notes of dewy rose petals, French Mimosa essence and magnolia and base notes of vanilla bean, sandalwood and cashmere wood. This is such a gorgeous crisp and fresh floral and zesty fruity, yet slightly powdery scent thanks to the vanilla, and it is just perfect for and fruity scents.
