What I got for Christmas 2015

Hellos Lovelies!

I hope you've had a lovely Christmas and eaten way too much just like me!  One of my favourite parts of Christmas is seeing what everyone got for Christmas, I love being nosey and seeing what goodies you all got.  So this year I thought I'd write a post on what I got for Christmas! This is by no means me bragging about what I had, just a post for all of you who are as nosey as me!! So carry on reading if you want to see what my wonderful parents and Grandmother got me this year...

*I've tried to link all I can't buy some items are no longer available online. 


A few weeks ago my Mum mention she had got my 'main' present for Christmas off her and my Dad, which I had no idea what it was as I hadn't asked for anything.  So I was over the moon on Christmas morning when I opened up these personalised number plates!! I love the fact I'll have them forever, my brother also got some so we're like twins now haha!



Beauty 


I had this gorgeous YSL Black Opium gift set from my best friend April, it's my new favourite sent I've been dousing myself in it everyday since Christmas.
Phillip Kingsley 5 Little Wonders Gift Set - this gorgeous set has 5 mini hair care products 
Elnett The Catwalk Collection Hairspray - this is the best/only hairspray to use!
Elnett Heat Protect Spray - I'm so excited to try this as I love the hairspray so much


Real Techniques Bold Metals Collection Essentials - I haven't tried any of the bold metals collection yet so I cannot wait to try these
Clinique Moisture Surge - I have really dry skin so this moisturiser is perfect for me 
Pixi Glow Tonic - another must have which I have been dying to try
GlamGlow Face Mask - I have been DYING to try this forever
Sephora Makeup Bag - the slogan couldn't be more me!



Benefit Real Cheek Party Palette - this amazing palette comes with 5 box powders, what's up highlighter, They're Real mascara and eyeliner
Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Palette - how insane is this, cannot wait to try it for New Year's Eve 


MAC Give Me Sun Bronzer
Autograph Golder Rose Highlighter - massive thank you to April for scouring the UK to get me this!
Maxfactor False Lash Mascara - it wouldn't be Christmas if my Mum didn't get me one of these



P.J's


River Island Slippers - these haven't left me feet since Christmas Day
Marks and Spencer light up bed socks

Everyday Essentials 


New Look Watch - I asked my Mum for an 'everyday' watch for work and I love this one she picked out.  It's both silver and gold which means I can wear it with anything
New Look Studded Handbag - Mum also picked me up this stunning bag from New Look as my new work bag
Yankee Candle Season of Peace - my brother got me this lovely candle and the smell is gorgeous! 

Tasty Treats

Costa Mug - I'm always looking for a travel mug to put my tea in for work and I love this Costa one my parents got me, it's really big so will fit lots in 
Princess Mug - My Mum said she couldn't resist getting me this...says it all really lol
Absolut Giftset - I'll be cracking this open NYE
Drumstick Tub - my favourite sweets! 



Khloe Kardashian Strong Looks Better Naked and Amy Childs 100% Me - I can't wait to read these books in the new year 
Unicorn iPhone 6 Case - my best friend April knows me so well!!
I also had money from my Grandma and my other Grandparents. 


These two I didn't get for Christmas but thought I'd chuck them in anyway. I'd pre-ordered the Body Coach's Lean in 15 new cookbook back on Black Friday for half price of about £7.50 which is a complete bargain, the book is massive and full of new recipes and tips.  Usually I'm not one to but or be tempted by exercise DVD's but after seeing how amazing Lauren Goodgers transformation has been I just had to get her DVD.  They both arrived today and in good time, I've over indulged so much over Christmas I'm actually looking forward to cutting down lol.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I had for Christmas! I would love to see what you all got, please tweet me links to your posts so I can't have a read!
