Blogmas #19 | Becca's Babble's #3: Christmas Shopping

Source: Telegraph.co.uk
As you can see from the title, this is my next Becca’s Babble’s topic.

I quite enjoy Christmas shopping, but I do sometimes find it stressful! It’s hard when people don’t know what they would like, so you don’t know what to buy. Plus every year some people like to set themselves a budget and depending on where you live, it can be hard to stick to it. I live in a small town and rely on public transport, so I buy most of my Christmas gifts online.

Me and my Sister shop together for our gifts, so it is slightly easier and I have someone to carry my bags! (joking). We find it hardest to buy for our Mum and Dad because they never give us a serious or straight answer when we ask them what they would like. Last year I didn’t have a big budget, but this year things have changed, but I am not going to go crazy. It is also our Mum’s birthday a couple of days after Christmas, so we buy extra. It’s not too hard because I think women are easier to shop for, especially if you are a woman too!

Me and my Sister usually leave it to the last minute to sort out Christmas gifts, but this year we have done it earlier to save rushing around like last year! We now both feel relaxed because everything is already wrapped, tagged and ready to put under the tree Christmas morning. We would put them under there Christmas Eve but we both have destructive young cats that love playing with paper! I think you can guess how that story would end!

Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet?

e.l.f Earth & Ocean Palette

I haven’t purchased anything from e.l.f in the longest time. I happened upon a post of this palette on Instagram and the complimentary comments really peaked my interest in trying it for myself. Palettes I have tried from e.l.f. in the past haven’t been the greatest of quality; I kind of associate the brand as being for children, beginners or natural beauty wearers. I was also interested in the Retro Paradise Palette , but I thought I would get more use out of this one at the moment.   THE PACKAGING The packaging is quite simple with a clear/black outlined plastic rectangular shape. The fronting is transparent so that you can see the eyeshadows from the outside of the palette. It has a clip closing, which you push apart to reveal the inside. The square eyeshadow pans are spread out across a black base and the shade names are printed in grey font under each pan. THE EYESHADOWS & FORMULA You get eighteen 0.94g eyeshadows in Matte (M), Metallic (ME), Glitter (G), Satin (S) and Shi...

Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils in Chaos & Freak

Chaos - bright cobalt blue with light pearl (matte) Freak - light yellow toned emerald green (shimmer)   These shades are beautiful and I just love these pencils at the moment. I might have to buy more shades, maybe a purple! The formula is so soft and creamy and the pigmentation is amazing!

Boots Fragrance Sampler Gift Set for Her 2015

I decided to treat myself to this little fragrance set. As you know, I am a perfume addict and I’m quite addicted to collecting perfume samples too! It’s this year’s Boots Fragrance Sampler set for Her. I saw last year’s advertised but I always thought it was a little expensive for what you get. The set basically contains eight samples of Boots best-selling female fragrances by other brands. The set comes in a small, thin cardboard box and each sample is set inside a plastic insert. You also get a small fragrance guide and the voucher, which is what you’ll need to get your full size bottle of your favourite sample. The eight samples in this year’s set are:- HUGO BOSS - Boss Ma Vie This is a 2ml sample vile in pipette form and can be exchanged for a 30ml bottle of the eau de parfum. “Inspired by the independent spirit of a woman, exuding a glow of femininity and confidence. Created around the cactus blossom, aiming to reinvent and modernize floral green notes ...
