MY TOP XMAS PICKS 2016

Holy moly.... it is nearly here!
But don't fret, if you're anything like me and haven't finished your festive shopping just yet I'm here today with a great collection of bits and bobs that will have the loves in your life smiling from ear to ear. (or something to treat yourself too.... either or!)
It's not too late to get ordering after all...
First up - how bloomin' beautiful is this Magnitone brush*. Yes I'm sure you have all heard of these wonder facial brushes before.... but how about a Rose Quartz one? 
This brush is part of the Limited Edition Magnitone Precious Collection. The perfect gadget gift for that special female in your life!
 These Daily Cleansing Brushes are all about getting naturally radiant, beautifully conditioned skin -  they effectively eliminates excess oils, dead skin cells, pesky makeup and impurities from pores all whilst toning and improving the absorption of your favourite skincare products #winning!
100% waterproof this little facial gem is designed for use in the bath and shower - making life even easier for us lazy skin routine avoiders!
Energising the skin and boosting micro-circulation this device is literally like a mini personal trainer for your face - I cannot recommed it enough.
Plus this version is now only £60 AND comes with it's own USB charger and travel pouch - perfect for a girl on the go!

All hail the ghds and this perfect platinum limited edition copper luxe* pair (£155)!
Paired alongside 2 fantastically festive Nails Inc polishes in a gorgeous carry case (see here) this set is more than enough to impess that beauty babe, hair lover in your life! I have had my boring black ghd's for 13 years now and I am SO thrilled to have a pretty new pair to brighten up my beauty stash, and locks! Keep your eyes on my blog to see more on these before the end of the year!
Tropic Skincare are a new brand to me - I've been trying lots of their bits and bobs out over the last few weeks and I have been enjoying everything from make-up sponges to shower washes! This however is not something to put on my face or body... obviously - this is Tropic Skincare's first ever candle - SIGNATURE* (£40).
This candle is made with 100% nautral soy wax and is inspired by the brands signature scents. The smell to me is so relaxing but also zesty and uplifting - it's the sort of product I can be imagine to be burnt whilst enjoying a nice refreshing facial.
Definitely one to be burnt whilst I'm working at home I'm sure this will help with getting my mind in the right place! #ConcentrateKirstie!
Nutella and a spoon ... need I say more? I feel in love with this as soon as I saw it! From present expert IJustLoveIt this engraved vintage tea spoon* (£13.99) is the perfect gift for the hazelnut spread lover, aka all of us! If you haven't gone to a jar of Nutella with a spoon yet.... have you even lived?
Another gorgeous pick from IJustLoveIt - this fantastic personalised Christmas bauble (£12.99) ! Presented in it's own golden tin these baubles are such a great idea for the family - each having their own name and year ready to pop on the tree as a tradition ever single year! Parent yourself - these are a great idea for children - giving them their very own spot on the tree from birth! 
It wouldn't be Christmas without a Soap & Glory set. S&G knock it out of the park each and every year with their fun packaging and amazing play on words with each product!
The Pink Pamper* (£18) is a big, beautiful bag is crammed with six super-indulgent mini products from the brand as well as a super handy body polisher (also knows as a poof in my house!).
With everything from face wash to heel cream these 'irresistibubble pamperstuffs' provide you quite literally, with top-to-toe indulgence.
Check out the whole soap and glory Christmas range - here.
Crimped/waved hair is on trend as much as it was in 1999 and there's now no need for overnight french plaits with Toni and Guy's Style Fix Waver*!
From the Style Fix Stylers range this handbag sized professional styling tool is perfect to get you hair ready whenever and wherever.
Designed to protect your hair & colour with the Ceramic Tourmaline plates, its unique Colour Lock Technology is developed to enhance shine, smooth hair follicles and lock in colour as you style.
This mini waver creates beachy, laid back waves,  volume and style for hair that needs a bit of oomph and with a high temp of 210C - they take no time at all! 

Last but not least the perfect home gift, again from ijustloveit.co.uk
This white distressed wall light* is bloomin' gorgeous - at only £14.99 each too these are the perfect product to really put a statement up in your home. Whether it be initials or even a word these battery powered subtle lights really do create a funny but chic look!

Not photographed....but - I am obsessed with my velvet sock boots from boohoo! I've only had them a week and I cannot stop wearing them - so comfy and such great quality - keep your eyes peeled for deals (as boohoo cannot get enough of them) before Christmas to grab a gorgeous fashion pick for yourself or maybe someone else!

Well there we go - some of my top picks for Xmas this year! 
Keep your eyes peeled if you're looking for presents on a small budget... stocking filler and secret santa finds are coming up shortly!

This Week I'm Loving... #4

Celebrity Big Brother
Well if you follow me on twitter you will know this already. I'm totally and utterly addicted to big brother and I'm not ashamed! I have so many opinions they are coming out of my ears! I LOVE Michelle (obvs), Katie Price and Calum - and surprising don't mind KAtie Hopkins that much! I'm horrified I ever liked Perez though - urgh what a horrible guy!

Herbal Essecnes Bee Strong Collection
This stuff has been around for ages now but I always seem to have some in the house! The smell is great and it leaves my hair feeling amazingly soft and smooth - better than some products that are double the price! They are always on offer in Boots so give them a go!

EOS Lipbalm - Strawberry
My lips have been so so sore over the last week or so, stupid weather, stupid heating at work! This has been a total life saver - I forgot how much I love EOS balms ... I really want to get my hands on some of their hand creams too!

Day Dreamer 2015 A6 Diary
I said I'd get a 2015 diary to keep me organised and at the beginning of the month I found this beauty in Clintons for half price! Yes it was only £2.49, for a whole year of organisation that is a bloody bargain! I've been writing my to-do lists weekly, blog stuff, work stuff, social stuff - and I feel super organised! Yay me! (Plus look how cute it is!)

Nutella
No explanation need - YUM.

Tangle Teezer
My hair has felt so dry and brittle over the last couple of weeks - I blame this horrible weather! My tangle teezers are my life - I cannot live without these! They have definitely helped my hair from becoming any worse for sure!


Clean & Clear Shine Control Daily Scrub
I have used this facial range for years now! I used to just have the wash version but I can't seem to find it in my local Boots store - boooo! So I have settled for the daily scrub. I use this every morning in the shower, it really helps to wake my up and make my skin feel funky fresh for the day ahead! 

Snack-a-Jacks
Seriously I love these rice cakes - not much else to say really! Whats your favourite flavour? 

Rodial Translucent HD Powder
You may have seen this in my last post all about Rodial's new make-up range. I have used this everyday since trying it out, it i the perfect powder to set my foundation with and gives me a get soft finish.

 Hot Water with Lemon
Last but not least is a random one! Thanks to my friend Megan I have been drinking this alot, like alot, alot! A slice of lemon in hot water - so yummy and refreshing - try it!
