NEWS FLASH! CHRISTMAS IS COMING! Now I know this has probably come as a terrible shock as there is generally very little build up to this kind of thing….. Yeah right! Well despite the obvious advanced notice, if your anything like me you will probably still have a whole heap of presents to buy. If you are still trying to think of gift ideas for loved ones (… and you know its totally ok to love yourself….), don’t get your baubles in a twist, I have a couple of gift ideas, guaranteed to put a smile on the face of any cosmetic junkie.

The Christmas season is a great opportunity to get cosmetic bargains! Big brands traditionally compile some of their most popular products to create a variety of gift sets. These can be great for anyone that has mad love for a particular brand or even someone thats make up bag/ face could do with an update…..

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN

http://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/christian-louboutin-rouge-louboutin-silky-satin-lip-colour_680-10145-8052000X001/

Perhaps you are buying a gift for a really, really, REALLY special someone? or maybe the co worker you have drawn in the secret santa has some sort of incriminating evidence that they might use against you as a form of blackmail? Either way, dig deep because this extortiant chuck of red lip cream is what you need. This stunning collection of lipsticks is so beautiful it should be placed behind glass and worshipped! With that in mind I am off to find a dodgy supermarket Santa's lap to sit on........
