My Christmas Presents - Beauty Edition

I must have been on Santa's "nice list" this year because I got some amazing gifts from both friends and family!

Together with 2 books in Norwegian, Glee dvd, hat and scarf, 2 purses and giftcards, I got quite a few beauty related gifts - yey!



From my boyfriend I got this Elizabeth Arden goody bag:



 My all time favourite lip balm & limited edition 8 hour cream in a pot, an eyeshadow palette, perfume sample and a cream cleanser.





Biotherm skincare set from a friend:



 I have used Biotherm before - their moisturisers are amazing!

Love, Chloe perfume and body lotion set (this was to me from me, haha):

For some reason the original Chloe scent makes me a bit ill, but this one is lovely!

Clinique skin care set from bf's parents:

I swear by Clinique's 3-step skincare, but not tried their body items. Will be tested soon :)

From my work bosses I got the Estee Lauder perfume set in Pleasures & their Christmas makeup suitcase!

In the suitcase there was an eyeshadow and blush palette, 4 lipsticks, 2 lipglosses, 3 eyeliners, 4 makeup brushes and an eyemakeup remover.

Pretty impressed that my two male bosses picked this out for our christmas gift (probably got some input from their wives... ;))

I hope you got some nice presents too :)

Enjoy the rest of your christmas holiday!

CLEAN perfumes

I want some of these CLEAN perfumes, they sound absolutely amazing.

Just read some of these scent descriptions:

So pure, so fresh, it captures the feeling of a fluffy, warm towel just pulled from the dryer or slipping into your favorite T-shirt line-dried in the summer sun. CLEAN Warm Cotton wraps you in notes of Citrus, Lilac and Jasmine over a subtle but oh-so-sexy blend of Amber and Musk. A fresh, comforting, just-laundered scent.

This uplifting CLEAN scent opens with crisp, citrus top notes of Lemon, Mandarin and Orange. The heart of the fragrance is faintly floral, hinting at sweetness with notes of Lily of the Valley, Orange Blossom, and Jasmine. The dry-down is an understated Musk and Sheer Woods base. Not heavy, overwhelming or pretentious, Shower Fresh Perfume is simply sweet and subtly sexy; a revolutionary aroma that leaves one feeling "shower-fresh" from sun up to sun down.

The soft, fresh, beautiful scent, captured for centuries by the fine milled soaps of France, is now a very special perfume by CLEAN. Reminiscent of pure soap and water, freshly laundered linens and open blue skies, CLEAN Provence is infused with extracts of Provencal Lemon, Cotton Blossom, Rose Geranium, Sweet Lime and Soft Violet Musk. CLEAN Provence will pamper you with a delicate, just-lathered fragrance.

Warm from the dryer, fluffy towel fresh and CLEAN. As familiar as your favorite just washed t-shirt. Smell this good all the time with notes of Brazilian Orange, Rose Otto, Night Blooming White Jasmine, Cotton Blossom and Mexican Lime. An irresistible just laundered scent from CLEAN.

The Original CLEAN Perfume is a fragrance option for those who do not want to smell like a particular perfume but are looking for that just out of the shower fresh scent. CLEAN combines fragrance notes of Litsea Cubeba, Orange, Sweet Lime, Pink Grapefruit, Passion Lily, Rose Geranium and White Musk.

CLEAN's Limited Edition Summer Linen is inspired by the hot sunny days of summer when clean warm breezes mingle with sun-ripened citrus. A light, cool, fresh scent infused with Crisp Bergamot, Italian Limoncello and succulent Mirabelle Plum. Pure, uncontrived, sexy and always sunny side up.

Inspired by the exhilarating experience of al fresco showering, secluded by nature. Heady exuberance and feel-good freedom, captured and bottled in a crisp, clean, leafy-green scent. Extracts of Water Lily, Violet Leaves and Sparkling Bergamot with a hint of Tropical Rain Accord and Sandalwood for a refreshingly simple, outdoor soapy shower fresh scent.

I love clean, simple fragrances and I NEED some of these!

Have you tried any of these? Which one would you recommend?

♥ Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Scrub ♥

I first discovered this when I got a little sample of it in a magazine. I used it twice, fell in love, and now I own a big bottle of it :D

This scrub has energising microbeads which exfoliate my skin. It's gentle, but at the same time I can really feel that it is doing my skin some good. It's turns into a lovely soft foam when you rub it into your skin & it also has that cooling sensation, which I am a huge fan of.

♥ Diorshow Iconic ♥

I love this mascara. It has a soft elastomer brush (yes, I looked it up), which coats all of my lashes in a natural and non-clumping fashion. This is not as dramatic as the original Diorshow mascara, so I use this mainly for daytime.

♥ MAC Slimshine Lipstick in Voile ♥

I Back To Mac'd for this product, and boy am I happy I did! This is a gorgeous lipstick and it is super moisturising! It's like a cross between a lipstick and a gloss!! On the lips it looks like a pale golden sparkly colour. Very wearable and fun for a night out :)

♥ Too Faced Beauty Balm in Grapefruit ♥

My trusted lipgloss in a jar, how I adore thee (which I have mentioned many times on here).

This is my everyday gloss/balm. It looks just like the colour in the container when it's on your lips, it moisturises & smells like grapefruit! What more could a girl ask for?!

♥ Barry M Nail Paints in Berry & Strawberry Ice Cream ♥

Ooooo, I luuuuuuuve these!! Perfect pastel colours for spring. Amazing quality, texture & colour.

You've done it again, Barry M!!

♥ Midnight Fantasy Eau De Parfum by Britney Spears ♥

This bottle is to die for & the smell is amazing. My 'go-to' perfume for any night out. I get so many compliments when I wear this! I seriously suggest that you check this out if you haven't already ;)

Just for fun I have added two more non-beauty related products to my list,

which I will have in my 'Monthly Favourites' posts from now on:

♥ Jewellery Of The Month ♥

(simply the jewellery I have been wearing the most)

I have been using this little silver key necklace everyday since I got it a few weeks ago

(£6 from Debenhams). It's on a medium length thin silver chain. So cute!

♥ Film of the month ♥

(A film I have been obsessed with this month, but not necessarily a newly released film...)

I have owned this film for probably 2 years, but this month I kind of re-discovered how much I love it! Definitely on my top 10 favourite films of all time list.

It is romantic, beautiful, inspiring & heartbreaking - ♥♥♥

Hope you enjoyed my monthly favourites!

Leave a comment or question and I will heart you forever :D
