After seeing endless tweets about 'what I got for Christmas' posts and enjoying the few I have read so far, I thought I'd write another one of my own (if you fancy a peek at last year's post click here). Obviously, I'm not posting this to brag, and I've just chosen to share a few of my gorgeous gifts, as some of them are more personal and I'd rather keep to myself.
I'm guessing my Mum noticed me looking like a heart-eyed emoji every time Charlotte Tilbury has been mentioned recently, so I found the Lipstick Charms and the Dolce Vita palette in my stocking. They are every bit as beautiful and luxurious as I was expecting; I am a sucker for miniature beauty bits so the lipsticks are right up my street and how could anyone not fall in love with that palette?!
After using my Zoeva rose gold eye makeup brush set every single day since buying them, I was over the moon to find the Classic face set in my stocking. I am already in love with the angled blush brush, the luxe highlight brush and the silk finish brush.
I have complained endlessly about my favourite glittery nail polish coming to the end (OPI Goldeneye), so Rob bought me this cute ciate glittery nail varnish. I haven't tried it yet, but it's gorgeous in the bottle!
Rob's mum kindly gave me a Marc Jacobs Daisy gift set, I am a huge fan of Marc Jacobs perfumes (as you can see here, here, here and here!) and I love this scent just as much as I've loved all of the others!
I've snuck my phone in here, even though I updated to a gold iPhone 6s two days before Christmas and I am in love with it - I love the larger screen and it just looks so beautiful. Admittedly the 3D touch isn't particularly useful, but everything else is fab.
How beautiful is my Olivia Burton watch? It's the silver midi dial bracelet and I literally haven't taken it off since I opened it. Thanks Rob! Rob also bought me this cute pink Kindle case because my old one was literally falling apart at the seams, and this one is so much cuter!
The super cosy furry background is actually my gorgeous new dressing gown from Marks and Spencer which I can't get enough of! It's insanely cuddly and comfy!
I was also lucky enough to be given a Maggs London Loveday makeup bag and a Chroma Stationery Nebraska embossed notebook - how cute are they?!
I had a few more cute bits and pieces that I haven't photographed; a coral Dior nail polish, enough Soap and Glory, Lush and Bomb Cosmetics bits and pieces to keep me smelling good for a long time and so much chocolate. I am so so so grateful to my family and Rob for these gorgeous presents, I am so lucky!
I love reading these Christmas present posts, so if you have one on your blog please, please link it below or send it to me on Twitter (@lilieslipbalm).
You got some amazing bits - those lipsticks look lovely.

ReplyDeleteDaisy is also one of my fave perfumes ever. I got a few other ones for Christmas this year though, so I won't be wearing it everyday next year as I probably did in 2015 hehe :)
Hope you've had a fab week so far. And happy new year 2016 girlie!
