Christmas — A Little Peculiar

Blogmas Day 14 || Candles for Christmas

If you read my blog often or follow me on social media, you'll know that I am a big fan of Pick n Melts wax melts. I've spoken about them a few times on my blog before, so when I got home from work one evening and discovered a rather large package* from them, I was over the moon. They had sent me their advent calendar (I know, amazing), some festive wax melts and these two boxes of candles. I thought that these sets would make perfect gifts for Christmas so I thought I'd share them on here.

Blogmas Day 5 || Soap & Glory This Christmas*

Soap & Glory is one of those brands that always nail it, especially at Christmas when they release all their amazing gift sets. This year is no different, they have some amazing gifts to chose from that are perfect for pretty much everyone. Whether it be makeup, bath products or a bit of skincare, who doesn't love a good pamper evening anyway? So let's dive right in and check out what they have in store for this Christmas.

Four Favorite Beauty Advent Calendars

Oh Christmas, how fast you've come back around and how you have been missed. There are many good things about Christmas, but opening up an advent calendar is definitely one of them. Who doesn't love a little gift every morning? Last year I went a bit overboard with the chocolate advent calendars and ended up not finishing any of them, so this year I've been having a look around at the beauty ones and here are a few that have caught my eye.

Blogmas Day 17 || Quick & Easy Christmas Biscuits

As much as I love baking, the time and effort that goes into it means I don't really do it that often. But with Christmas coming up, I thought I'd find a quick and easy Christmas biscuits recipe to try and share with you guys. So after a quick search on google, I found this one on the BBC website.

Blogmas Day 15 || Budget Friendly Christmas Palette

I'm not going to lie, I will use any excuse to go out and buy a new palette. So of course, when I was planning Blogmas, finding a new palette to feature was a must. I went for this one, because not only do I love Revolutions palettes, but it was only £10 and it looks pretty. It also has a lovely range of glittery shades perfect for a Christmas makeup look.

Blogmas Day 14 || Pick & Melt This Christmas

Ahhhh the sweet smell of Christmas, isn't it great? I love it, and I have managed to get myself a large collection of Christmas scents this year and I am loving them. Pick'n'Melt* so kindly sent me out some of their Christmas scents along with their wax burner and it's making it hard for me to choose which one to burn each evening.

Blogmas Day 12 || Style Inspo: Christmas Edition

One of my favorite things about Christmas is definitely buying a new cheesy Christmas jumper, but I always find it so difficult finding one that I love because there are so many of them. So I've put together a list of my favorite ones, just in case you have the same taste as me and want to know where to look for them.

Blogmas Day 9 || It Smells Like Christmas

If you know me, which you probably don't, you'll know that I am a very big fan of candles and wax melts. I find coming home and lighting a lovely scented candle is the most relaxing thing to do. Are you watching a film? Light a candle. Having a bath? Light a candle. Blogging? Light a candle. Always light a candle. What I love more than candles, are wax melts. Wax melts give off a much stronger smell than candles, making them a better option for a more open space like your front room.

Blogmas Day 8 || Bomb Cosmetics This Christmas

Originally, I was planning on buying loads of Christmas themed bath bombs and creamers from Bomb Cosmetics, but when I got on their website I just couldn't decided what ones to get. They have so many that I filled my basket up and had to stop myself from spending more money than I have.
So when I saw their gift packs, I decided to buy one and try the bath blasters from that. Yes, I bought a gift bag for myself with the excuse of using it for a Blogmas post.

Blogmas Day 7 || Mad Beauty For Christmas*

As much as I love buying main presents for Christmas, the stockings are so much more fun to put together. Last year I included a lot of bath stuff and small products in my mums, because everybody loves a good bath product. So when Mad Beauty* sent me some of their Christmas goodies, I was very excited to see what they had.

Blogmas Day 6 || Christmas books on a budget

I love a good book. There's nothing more satisfying than snuggling up on the sofa with a decent book and diving deep into an imaginary world that you get far too emotionally invested in and don't know what to do with yourself once you finish it. Am I right? Yes, yes I am. Unfortunately, if you're on a budget this Christmas like me, you can't go spending money on yourself when you still have presents to buy. So here's where to get your book fix on a budget.

Blogmas Day 5 || ImPRESS This Christmas*

Personally I never use fake nails, as my natural nails are rather long anyway and fake ones never seem to last very long without damaging my nails. So when I was sent these KISS ImPRESS nails*, I was a bit unsure about whether I'd like them or not, but I gave them a go anyway as I loved the designs on them. After all, sticking a nail with a design on is much quicker than spending the time on the design yourself.
