Guest Blog: Christmas Beauty Faves

I am so excited to be sharing with you guys my first ever post swap with the talented Welsh blogger, Mrs. Slee-Jones! We decided to share our favorite beauty products that we both received for Christmas this year. So read all of hers below and then head on over to her blog to read some of mine as well!

Hey Beauties!! Can you believe Christmas is finally over?? This year I was lucky enough to get some new beauty products, some I’ve never tried before, some are old favourites that I’d run out of so I decided to share them with you in this collab!! 

Too Faced Born This Way Foundation 

My holy grail of foundations, this is a MUST HAVE in your collection!! I was so happy when my parents bought me this as I’d just run out of the last lot I had. I wrote about it in my Makeup That Last’s All Night post which you can check out HERE. 

Too Faced LipFiller Gloss 

I was intrigued by this product as we all know these plumping glosses don’t work the majority of the time. But being a lover of Too Faced makeup I wanted to try it!! My husband bought me this and I can’t deny that I absolutely love it!! It’s gives that little tingle so we know it’s working and my lips actually do look fuller!! 

BH Cosmetics Brushes 

Ok so my luck just happened to be in here. My husband purchased this purely for the bag as I’d said about needing a slightly bigger makeup bag to travel with, not knowing that it came with a full set of brushes!! So luckily I ended up with a cool ass bag and a new brush set. I absolutely love BH Cosmetics brushes so I was thrilled when I opened this up!! If you want a good brush set that isn’t going to set you back a lot then I highly recommended these!! 

P.S Quad Matte Lipstick Set 

I’d been eyeing these little beauties up for some time, so pulling them out of my Christmas stocking was a pleasant surprise. They are the perfect nude colours or deep browns for paler skin tones and they last all day!!!! I’ve worn them with every makeup look since christmas day!! 

I had a few other bits and bobs makeup wise but these 4 had to be my top ones that got me excited to tell you about!! Did you get any new makeup for Christmas?? Let me know in the comments!! Also, check out my Top 3 Christmas Gifts That I Use Everyday too!

Much Love – Mrs Slee-Jones xx

    You received some lovely Christmas stocking fillers. Imagine thinking you just got the BH Cosmetics bag and being happy with that alone, never mind finding out it’s filled with brushes! I’ve got my eye on those now!

    Congrats on your swap post and collaboration, these are nice gifts. My sister loves to get so many brushes as it gives her the ability of using for a long time.

      I have personally never tried that foundation before, but I have heard amazing things about it so I obviously need to try it!

    Looks like you got some amazing stuff! I’d be most excited about the lipsticks and lip gloss for sure

    My absolute fave foundation is Too Faced Born This Way – I love the concealer so much too! 🙂 I’m not sure which cruelty free high end foundation & concealer to try after these ones run out though.. Maybe the new Urban Decay or ABH one x

      I have tried the new Urban Decay foundation and I like it pretty well. Although I think the former version might have been a tad bit better.
