Abby's faves:
I completely forgot that I asked for this Audrey book off my parents months ago, it was a nice surprise to open it and remember how much I wanted it. The Laduree book i've also wanted for so so long!! Ellie bought it for me, even though i'm hardly a baker myself, its just so pretty and a novelty to have. Even the packaging it came in was wrapped up so pretty I'm absolutely in love.
The brushes were another present I asked for, they're the rose gold collection from Makeup Revolution. If you've never bought any of their products, now is the time to! the blush set and brush shampoo are also from there. It's brilliant as they have a website so you can search around for products you might not be able to find in the stores, eveything is unbelievably cheap too! I already own so many of their products and i'm so happy to have received more.
I was in desperate need for some new slippers and these were perfect for me, Ellie did get the same pair in a different design as you will see below! They're super comfy and from Daisy Street, but bought from ASOS (I know this as I asked for them haha).
A poodle gift! Ofcourse! Where would I be without gifts centred around poodles?! Ellie actually got me this ring, I love it so much. The design is really nice and as everyone knows, anything with a poodle on i'm bound to love, right?! It's size adjustable too which is brilliant as I can wear it all the time even if I'm wearing other rings, as it fits perfectly on any finger.
So the jewellery box and the two candles are the presents in this photo, due to it being mirrored it was rather hard to get a photo of haha! I've been moaning about wanting to sort my room out so much recently and my parents started by buying this for me, as my old jewellery box was so old and tatty I had to get rid of it. I love it so much, it fits so much nicer on my desk than the previous one and it looks so much neater too. The 'A' candle was from Ellie and the other was from my Brother and family, they both look so cute on top of it and go with my room so nicely now as i'm desperately trying to make things look brighter and neater!
So I nearly cried when I opened these, the Dita Von Teese and Brooke Candy Lipsticks were both from Ellie (and her family) and i've been lusting after these two since they came out but I never got around to buying them. Ellie knows I adore both Brooke Candy and Dita Von Teese, obviously they made perfect presents for me. The other MAC lipstick I got to add to my collection was from my moms best friend, it's in the shade 'MY INNER FEMME' and is a lovely bright red, of course red lipsticks are my all time favourite, I can never own enough!

This palette is INCREDIBLE. I can't believe how nice it is and I'm so happy I own it! It is just what I expected and more! The colours are such a treat and they're all so pigmented which I absolutely love in an eyeshadow palette. I cannot recommend this enough, definitely check it out!
I have been waiting MONTHS for this collab, I am extremely over the moon with the items I've got so far, and I will definitely be purchasing more. First of all, how nice is the packaging?! The two lipsticks are amazing (Left: Only You, Right: Without Your Love) They are lovely pinky nude shades. However Only You is quite a bit darker, you can't really make that out in the photo! The highlighter is also great. Look out for a blogpost soon about our fave highlighters!
My mom got me this, I have wanted a colouring book for so long, although I had no idea a cat colouring book existed! Everyone who will know me, knows how much I have an obsession for cats, so this is the perfect gift for me! I have already started it and I love it. It's super calming and relaxing, especially to do before bed!
Another cat related gift, yay! (no sarcasm intended!) My sister got me this mug and I think its super cute, I especially love the ears and the handle that looks like a little tail. Definitely becoming my new fave mug in the house, haha! I also received this dressing gown (New Look) for Christmas. It is THE best thing ever, quite possibly my fave gift! Its the softest thing in the world - I love it.
This copper pineapple money box/ornament is another one of my absolute faves this Christmas. As you guys know I had my room redecorated and I am really into having little splashes of copper/rose gold here and there, and this fits right in! I just love how stylish it looks, and it's so shiny!!
This is a new night dress which I LOVE! I think nighties are super cute to sleep in, I rarely sleep in anything else, and I was in need of a new one and this one was a great find by my sister. It's actually from Adolescent Clothing which I am definitely going to have a browse of.
Im in love with this perfume and lipstick I was given. They even match each other! The perfume is the most amazing smell, and lasts a really long time throughout the day which I hardly find with my perfumes. The lipstick is definitely the perfect shade of red - you know what I'm talking about! I adore how it looks and the gold exterior.
Abby (and her family) actually got me these for Christmas and I'm obsessed. The candle smells just how you'd expect it to, it's crazy! Definitely a favourite of mine. The snow fairy as you all know is a complete winner, you can never have too much! I also got a pack of these lovely little soap chunks which all smell super nice, I'm excited to try them out!
These slippers are also a favourite of mine. They're from Daisy Street and they are so so comfy. As you saw above, Abby also received these but in a different colour/design, weird how we had no idea?! I really love them, and they look super cute teamed with my dressing gown.
We hope you enjoyed reading!
