Christmas Guide For Your Girl!

Hey everyone!

As Christmas is fast approaching, I know another year almost gone, I thought it would be a great idea to create a Christmas guide, makeup related obv, for that special girl or guy in your life!

Some of these products I will already have myself and some I won't have, but for the ones I have, I wouldn't recommend it unless I loved it myself!

Now everything here depends on how much that special someone loves makeup. I will begin with the cheaper products and make my way up to a total makeup junkie! Hope you enjoy.

First of all Sleek is an amazing, cheaper brand that any girl will adore. I personally love their eye shadow palettes, with over 14 to choose from you will definitely find one to suit! These cost only €10 and can be bought in most chemists.

For lipsticks I would also go for Sleek lipsticks, as they are so pigmented and last all day long! These cost just €6.50 or so! And they have so many shades to choose from.

And I have heard that NYX lipsticks are also amazing and last all night long! These are about €10 depending on what type you pick up but these high voltage ones are meant to be unreal.

For a contouring kit, I wouldn't go passed my Blank Canvas contour kit! It's only €15 and amazing, I rather this over my €50 ABH contour kit. Use the code: W10OFF to get 10% off!

This is another contour kit but for the highlighter, again we go back to sleek! I have seen this on people before and the payoff is amazing for highlighting! #highlightonfleek

I think I have covered most areas, I mean you wouldn't be buying your friend/boyfriend/girlfriend foundation, concealer or a brow kit really! Those things are hard enough to match when shopping for yourself let alone buying for another person.

So if you're on a budget or maybe that loved one isn't into makeup as much as others but still enjoys makeup then I think the products I have mentioned would be perfect for them!

A palette or lippy is always a treat to get. There are many other brands out there that have amazing products but I'm just in love with SleekMakeUP because the quality is amazing and it's very affordable.

Onto the high end..the expensive end.

You probably all know what I'm going to say first for a palette. Yep, the Naked Smoky by Urban Decay. I'm not going to say anymore because it speaks for itself but note that its like €46.

Another palette that would be fab as a gift would be the Chocolate Bar palette by Too Faced. It smells like chocolate. Speaks to itself again. Costs €47.

Last palette haha and it's from theBalm! It's the Meet Matt(e) Nude palette. If you buy from www.cloud10beauty.ie use the code: W10OFF for 10% off! Costs €43 before discount :)

For a high end lippy, you know I'm going to say MAC. No explanation needed just go pick up one and any colour will do! €20.

  • For nude: Honeylove
  • For red: Russian Red 
  • For purple: Heroine
  • For plum: Rebel
  • For orange: Morange
  • For pink: Pink Plaid
  • For vampy: Sin



High end highlighter is hands down Marylou by theBalm. Can be found on cloud10beauty for €20 or get three of theBalm's highlighters for €28 and use the discount code on cloud10beauty! :)







And last but not least. Bronzer. This one is extremely fancy but worth it, it's just amazing. Famous in its own right. It's the cream bronzer from Chanel. Costing about €40 but well worth it, I have it myself and I adore it.

And onto brushes.
Cheaper ones I would recommend: Real Techniques.
Expensive ones I would recommend: Sigma.
