PRETTY YOUNG THING

AHHH ITS NEARLY CHRISTMAS! I work in retail and i'm working today and tomorrow so i've finished all of my shopping and it's all wrapped and ready for Friday. However I know not all of you are finished just yet so i've put together some little last minute beauty bits that you can easily pick up on the highstreet.

First up is Liz Earle and her Limited Christmas Edition Cleanse and Polish, you can pick this up from your local department store, my Local John Lewis has a lovely counter, selected Boots stores and you can order online until midday today if you select Special Delivery Next Day. Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish is my all time favourite Cleanser, it's suitable for all skin types and is a lovely gentle cleanser so it would be perfect for anyone.

The Body Shop have some great gift sets in at Christmas and they really do have something for everyone. From shower gels, to body butter, make up to essential oils. I thought i'd include the swinging silver eyeshadow palette. The Body Shop Make Up is cruelty free and they have a huge selection of products and shades so your sure to find something.

If you still have most of your shopping to do and your after some beauty gifts then head down to your local Boots store, they have 3 for 2 across their gifts and they stock such a great selection of brands. The No 7 Star Bauble is such a lovely little stocking filler, inside is a nail polish.

These Cafe De Bain Goodies would make a great addition to any stocking, they are really affordable and have a great selection of scents. They are avaliable at Superdrug and Waitrose, you could pick them up whilst your buying your sprouts for your Christmas dinner.

Another great place for cheap last minute gifts is Poundland, I always go there and fill my basket with little bits and pieces, right now they have some really great American Sweets and chocolates which i've put in Clint's Stocking. They also have a great range of haircare and bath products etc. You could put together a really nice basket of goodies for any beauty fan and fill it with their favourite everyday essentials. You can include these amazing Argan Oil products, they sound great and smell amazing.

I know, I know I keep talking about LUSH but they have some really great Christmas Gifts. You can check out my Lush blog post here, where I have featured a huge selection of products. I love the Comfort and Joy Gift set, it has some really great products inside.

My mom wears alot of Jewellery, so this Bangle from Tales from the Earth* is perfect. It's Rhodium plated and has abit of weight to it, I would check the dimensions of the person your buying it for as I doubt it would actually fit on my moms wrist. They sell a few bangles and they have different inscriptions inside making them perfect for so many different people. This one reads an ocean of love which would be perfect for your mom or for a loved one. The retail at £45 which I think is resonable for the quality.

Everyone loves The Body Shop, i've included this body butter because my mom is a huge fan of Body Butters, and i'm always seeing people rave about The Body Shops body butters. This is from the latest Christmas collection Glazed Apple * The Collection includes other products like a Glazed Apple Soap Bar, lip balm, bath sprinkles and more. The body shop is really afforable and a brand everyone knows and loves. They always have gorgeous Christmas Gifts and loads of offers.

Perfume, I always buy my mom perfume! It's what she normally asks for. We all wear perfume, I wear it every single day, I have bottles and bottles of the stuff but it will be used. I've been sent this bottle of Ghost to feature, I've actually never smelled Ghost before. This is Deep Night* and it smells so good, It's a warm scent, very floral. Its a feminine but sexy smell. I love it and I know my mom will. Ghost again is a very well know scent so this would make a perfect gift for anyone.

Say Hello to my new best friend ! This is my latest skin saviour. Along side my Liz Earle cleanse and polish my skin is back to normal. I've been having some trouble with my skin, it's become very spot-prone and dry and itchy. This toner is amazing it leaves my face feeling soft and clean. It smells lovely, very refreshing and has a very aromatherapy smell about it. It contains naturally active ingredients which is really good for the skin.

I'm so happy that my skin is back to normal and I can always depend on my Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish to save the day. I love that I now have this new product that is also restoring my skin to its usual self.

You don't need to use alot of product so I think my 200ml bottle should last a long time. For only £13.25 this is a product I will be repurchasing.

I'm a massive fan of Cleanse and Polish it's my go to cleanser. If i've got bad skin or if a different product is irritating my skin I always go back to Liz Earle. It's so gentle and full of naturally active ingredients.

I like to get most of my make up off before using it even though if you use it straight onto your make up it will remove it without much effort and it's sensitive on your eyes making it great when removing eye make up.

I'll use a cleansing milk or water to remove most of my make up and then follow with this. I apply and leave it on my skin for a good 10 minutes. Then I soak the muslin cloth and wring out the water. Place the muslin cloth onto the skin and then use it to remove any product. The cloth will pull out the dirt and any left over make up from the skin. Sometimes I like to repeat if i've been wearing a lot of make up or if I want a better clean.

When you've finished splash your face with cold water to close any pores.


Why not get yourself this lovely Limited Edition packaging for the Christmas Period?

I love Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish it's without a doubt my favourite cleanser. It leaves my skin feeling clean and it doesn't irritate my skin at all. I was so excited when I visited the Liz Earle counter and found out about their Make Up range.

The Sheer skin tint is a foundation which leaves the skin looking natural and dewy. I think it has really good coverage and I really like the formula. It applies easily to the skin, I have applied it with my beauty blender and with a stippling brush, both of which were easy to use.

The Skin Tint has SPF 15 making it good for everyday use. I like to use this on top of a lightweight face cream, which I let dry in properly before applying. I've found the skin tint is a very wet formula but I think this is how they get the dewy look. It does dry it and then I set with a pressed powder for a more matte effect.

I have beige which is the perfect shade for my skin, it does come in 3 other shades and is a decent 40ml tube. I like the simple packaging from Liz Earle. The shiny packaging means the tube stays clean in your make up bag.

I think my skin looks radiant and dewy when I apply this and it lasts very well. My make up looks fresh at the end of a 7 hour shift at Pizza Hut ;) For £21.00 I would rather purchase this product again than a similar product from Benefit or Mac because with Liz Earle I know i'm getting a more natural product that is enriched with Vitamins and natural oils.

I love my blushers and this Liz Earle one has been added to my faves! I was really excited when I spotted the powder blushers on the Liz Earle website. There is loads of different shades to choose from but I went for Nectar which is number 6. Its a bright pink with shimmer and a gold undertone.

The Liz Earle brand is one of my favourites for make up and skincare. Cleanse and Polish is my number one cleanser and I'm loving the foundations. The packaging is simple but not cheap. I love that this blusher has a mirror because I hate having to bring a mirror with me when i'm out so love it when my little compacts have mirrors.

I think this blush has
