My Xmas Presents: Part 1

Hey Beauties. It's so cold today. Errands are run. Glad I am indoors now. I hope you are all well. I got so many lovely presents for Xmas that I can't wait to show you, but I am having to do it in two parts as half are at my house and the other half at my other half's. These are presents from my lovely Mum and friends.

 

If you haven't guessed already I am a massive Hello Kitty fan. I am so excited that I have some lovely items from the Hello Kitty Liberty Collection, but of course all of it is fab. I actually received two of the toothbrushes. I am using one at my other half's house though. I will be using the mug, plate and bowl at work. I ate the chocolate buttons with some yoghurt last night, yum yum :)

I absolutely loved the Gorgeous By Gok Wan products that I received last Xmas so I'm really pleased that this collection was released again this year. The Sweet Snuggles products smell so edible. I love the little spatula with the Raspberry Bath Salts. So cute :) I also got some great essentials here and some fab eyelashes.

I had a bath yesterday using my Planet Spa Thailand Lotus Flower Bath Petals. They smell nice enough, but the real kick I get from these is that they make my bath look pretty. They do foam up pretty well and dissolve in the water so no cleaning up afterwards :)

I love all things warming as I hate being cold more than anything else in the world so these Sweet Snuggles Cosy Socks and this heatable elephant are very welcome gifts. Mum buys me a calender every year which I always look forward to as I'm an organised freak. This make-up palette I might leave at work as it's so slim it won't take up much room in my desk drawer. I have always liked candles so the tea light holders and the heart lantern I will use a lot. I told my friend about this gorgeous clutch when I spotted it in a couple of magazines and she picked it up for me :)

Mum bought me this beauty case/trolley. She obviously thinks I take my blogging very seriously, ha ha ;) It is really cool as it has various compartments, splits in half and it's pink! As I mentioned it's a trolley with an extendable handle. It does also come with a strap to attach to the top half (not shown) and it can be locked to keep my goodies safe.

 

As I mentioned this is just part 1 of my Xmas presents. I will hopefully show you part 2 next week as I'm not at home to take the photos. As you can imagine I did not want to look up the prices of my gifts as I don't want to offend the people who bought them for me. A massive thank you to Mum and my friends for all the gifts shown here and to everyone else who bought gifts for me. I promise to show them off soon :)

What wonderful things did you give or receive for Xmas? I hope you had a lovely festive period.

Love to you all

Gorgeous By Gok

Hey there my sweet lovelies. I have been thinking about writing a post on this range for a couple of weeks as there are a couple of products I absolutely adore. The range is Gorgeous by Gok (as in Gok Wan - Stylist).

I was given a couple of gift sets in January for my birthday and these were the products in this range I received.

I adore the design of these bottles. They are so girly with the vibrant pink and gold. Gorgeous just says it all. I have no idea why the centre product is a different coloured pink. Maybe I just had an odd one?

LEFT: "Liquid Gold Bath Essence" - This is a nice enough bath essence. There are no cons to it, but it is not a stand out part of the range that I received.

MIDDLE: Spray On Moisturiser - This is my favourite. I love this moisturiser. The smell is literally gorgeous (no pun intended). It dispenses out a small amount of product with each pump in one direction. The smell is divine. I mentioned the smell right? I would definitely by this product again. I found this great to apply when fake tanning as it really helps to mask that biscuity/curry smell.

RIGHT: "Molten Gold Body oil" - This product does have a nice amount of shimmer, but when you apply it to the skin it does feel like you are dragging it along. This would look great on a natural tan only because of course oil and fake tan can sometimes cause the tan to streak. It does smell just as lovely as the Spray On Moisturiser, but I wouldn't buy it as I'm not a fan of how it feels when applying it to the skin. See the swatch below for a better idea of this product.

LEFT: "Liquid Gold" Body Wash - This body wash has some shimmer, but I would say not enough to notice on me. I would not buy this product if you are expecting to be glistening when you step out of the shower.

RIGHT: Body Wash - This I would buy again. It has the same luscious aroma as the Spray On Moisturiser which makes it really pleasant to use. I feel really clean and like I am almost wearing perfume when I use this. 

This is the most fabulous hat I own. Not really, but I do love it. It's just so cute. I hate taking it off when I come out of the shower.

So the great thing is that I have fallen in love with the Spray On Moisturiser and the Body Wash. The Bad news is that Boots Pharmacy no longer appear to sell it. I am really upset about this as I am very close to finishing these two products and loathe the thought of buying another brand that I may not love.

Do you have any idea where I can buy these products? Do you know any great alternatives as I need something to make me just as happy?

Love to you all
