Style Theory: Last minute gifts for the females in your life. Here are a few of the items I have discovered through working with brands over the last few years (and I have since re-bought myself or bought for friends for Christmas presents) or products that I buy time and time again and will make the most fabulous (last minute) Christmas presents..
Tula Purifying Cleanser @QVC £20 |
A light gel cleanser that purifies and cleans my skin, I use it in the shower and it makes my skin feel soft, smooth, clean and does not dry it out.
Tula Hydrating Day and Night Cream @QVC £40 |
Again another light, nourishing product, this moisturiser I was introduced to via QVC and have bought and used two pots since. I love it, it absorbs into my skin really well leaving it feeling soft and looking hydrated (and does not give me spots like many moisturisers)
Vitamin C Repair Serum £30 |
This product was recommended by Chloe and I absolutely love it, it is a skin saviour in the colder months. The serum intensely hydrates and leaves skin with a healthy glow, I use a couple of drops every day after cleansing and before moisturising.
Willowberry Treatment Oil £22.50 |
A small bottle of natural, luxurious goodness. I use this oil to give my face a glow, I pop a little on my cheekbones, it makes me look a little brighter and healthier - a great tip from Caroline Barnes who introduced me to Willowberry (their natural Cleansers and moisturisers are also fab)
Balance Me Congested Skin Serum £16 |
This is like a little tube of magic for spots, you just apply it to the spot and it works (naturally) by calming the inflammation and stops spots them in their tracks..
ST Tropez Bronzing Mousse £20.33 |
This is the bronzer I love to use, I always apply it using a bronzing mitt and it gives me a light, natural, even tan.
Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF15 £30 |
I have never worn foundation every day before but this Bobbi Brown foundation has changed that. I only use a little over my nose, under my eyes, a little on my cheeks and chin and with this foundation it is so easy to do, it blends in seamlessly and looks natural on the skin (I use natural colourway)
Bamford Geranium Hand and Body Lotion £26 |
I was given a mini bottle of this in a goody bag (from WyseLondon) and it is just the most beautiful smelling, velvety body lotion. I have asked for this from my sister for Christmas, a real indulgent treat.
Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara £5.70 |
The mascara I have used for years and years, it does not smudge, gives me thick dark lashes without any clumps, I find Max Factor consistently good at mascaras - a great stocking gift.
Rimmel Exaggerate Eye Liner £5.29 |
Another one of my all time favourite make up items, this is super easy to use, gives a great upper lid eyeliner line without smudging.
Nails Inc Porchester Square Collection @QVC £29 |
A great set of nailpolishes - one of QVC's best selling nails inc colours, Porchester Square is a beautiful nude/mink colour and the addition of the shimmer adds some Christmas sparkle. The perfect teenager present.
Name Necklace AnnaLou of London £70 |
I have had my name necklace for about 4 years and it is one of my fave pieces of jewellery. It is gold plated and has never tarnished (I never take mine off) and sits just at the right height on me, I have the 16" chain.
Diamonique @QVC £57 |
These earrings I have worn so many times, the perfect size hoop and the stones in them give them a little colourful twist on the classic hoop. They are gold plated on sterling silver and are fairly light so can be worn all day.
Lisa Snowdon @qvcuk Multi gemstone ring £40 |
This gold plated vermeil ring, dotted with semi precious stones is a super special gift that will be worn, kept and treasured for years.
Ophia Stargazing Set of two stack up rings @QVC £36 |
These rings I put on as soon as they arrived and have not taken them off. They are polished, plated sterling silver with cubic zirconia stones and look fab on.
Diamonique Cluster Star Ring £27 |
A blingtastic ring for those that love a lot of sparkle, dramatic and eyecatching this is a fab statement ring.
Gucci Belt £320 |
If you are looking for a super special present for yourself, my Gucci belt is my most worn luxury item. I bought the 4cm wide mens version of the belt as it was the only one in stock at the time - the one I have linked to above is the women's. I have the 90cm long one but to be honest for me (I am a size 10) it is a little big so I should have got either 80am or 85cm length one. Having said that I wear it almost every day on my jeans and love it, it elevates a basic jumper and jeans outfit and looks just as good in the summer as in the winter.
A few ideas of the items I have loved and would make fabulous Christmas presents, I know with QVC you can order most things up until 20th December if you are like me and are a bit behind on Christmas shopping. Good luck for the last few days and have the most wonderful, restful Christmas and a very Happy New Year xxx
