Christmas Gift Guide - Snow Globe Eyeshadows by Mac

Just a quick post about another product from Mac's Glitter and Ice collection. When I was down in London, I also picked up one of the Snow Globe Eyeshadows from Mac for my cousin's birthday. It instantly caught my eye with what I can honestly say is the most gorgeous packaging I have ever seen. 

As the name suggests, the product is incased in a clean white pallet with a stunning snow globe with silver glitter on top. I would have just bought it for the packaging - it is so beautiful! I got it in the colour 'Sultry', however, as it was a gift, I could not do any swatches.

I hope that you can tell from the picture that the colours are lovely and I am sure that you will be able to find good swatches online or pop into your nearest Mac to check it out. I just wanted to include it in my blog because I think it would be a wonderful gift for someone this Christmas. I got it in the Mac store near Covent Garden for £31 but it is available online and in most Mac stores worldwide.

The Christmas Gift Guide - Benefit Gets Cheeky!

When I was in town yesterday with my mum, we were fighting our way through Boots and we came across the Benefit counter. I love Benefit, some of my first ever makeup products were from there. I am a big fan of their quirky packaging and every Christmas, without fail, I will purchase a couple of their gift sets for my family and friends. So when I set my eyes upon this gorgeous set, I knew that it would be the perfect gift for someone. 

This cute set contains miniature sizes of Benefits very popular cheek and lip tints (Benetint and Posietint) and also a lovely highlighter, High Beam. I own Benetint and High Beam and I absolutely love them, they are such beautiful colours. 

Each bottle contains 4ml of the product, this doesn't seem like a lot but I have owned my Benetint (13.5ml) for about three years and I'm not even half way through it!

The pigmentation of the products is amazing - a little goes a long way! Also the highlighter has a lovely shimmer to it but it's not too over the top.

This would be the perfect gift for someone who is just starting with makeup or would like to try some of Benefits most famous products. This set is exclusive to Boots and at £14.50, I think it's a bargain!
