Christmas Haul!

So i've finally got round to doing my christmas haul even though christmas is now over! I can't believe how quick it's been and gone and the decorations will be coming down soon which for me is always a sad time as you realise life is going back to normal and its almost a year away until you can put them back up again! I've been so busy since christmas and for new years eve/day I was in York but now i'm back I thought I best crack on with my christmas pressie haul! I've not included all my presents (as ive eaten half of it!) and I just wanted to include my favourite ones although I did get a new TV and speaker for my iPhone which were also my faves :) so, here it is...!

Here's a few close ups as some are quite hard to see on that photo..

 

 I loveee this case! It fits iPhones, Ipods and most other phone but I use it for my camera. I love everything Cath Kidston so I was soo happy when I opened this from my best friend Amy! :)

 

 This foundation brush by Estee Lauder feels so nice to use (excuse the foundation!) and I decided I wanted one after having some foundation applied at one of the counters in Boots with this brush. It's really soft but firm at the same time so you can easily get to every part on your face such as your nose and under your eyes :) it just glides oves your skin and you don't have to be rough with it and have it drag your skin like previous brushes i've used so this is my favourite brush so far but I can't comment on how long it stays in this condition as obviously i've only just got it!

 

This is the 'Brighton Rock' lipstick from Topshop and its the first one of theirs i've tried! So far I really like it and it doesn't smudge off as easy as others and doesn't feel sticky or gloopy but i'm still yet to find a lipstick that lasts most of the day without having to reapply. On this photo it does look a bit more like a coral pink but it is actually quite a bright pink once its on and how bright it is depends how much you put on.

 

 

 These photos show the colour more accurately!

 

 

  I can't live without extensions especially HeadKandy extensions! They are amaaazing and last ages! I'm not going to say too much about them because i'll probably write a seperate post for them later on but these are definately the best extensions i've had and I doubt i'll try any others after having these :)

 

So that's my christmas haul! If you've got any questions about anything i've talked about feel free to ask! xoxo

First Post!!

So this is my first post on my new blog! I've been following a few other blogs and thought 'I'd like to do that as well' so here I am! My name is Gina Louise or just Gina and i'm 19 years old! I'm a fully qualified beauty therapist as I love everything beauty but have decided to look for a job in business and admin as I prefer beauty as a hobby/interest rather than a career. Other than beauty my hobbies and interests are horse riding, hair and fashion so i'll be blogging about everything hair, beauty and fashion! I'll start with a christmas haul of some of the pressies I got soon when i've got a bit more time, so thanks for reading! xoxo
