Gift guide: Under £10

This is the first of many gift guides. These gift ideas are all under £10, there is actually a lot you can get for tenner. Most of the products are small and great for putting in stockings and I think they perfect if you don't want to spend a lot of money.

1. ASOS i woke up like this iPhone 5 case

Phone cases make great gifts for any occasion and you can get so many different designs and styles plus they are usually decently priced. I personally loved this case from ASOS. 

2. ASOS Christmas socks cracker

I thought this was just so adorable, a cracker with cute printed socks. You get three pairs, and three different patterns, snowmen, reindeer's and Christmas trees, all packed in  a transparent plastic cracker.

3. Ciate tree trinket nail varnish

Ciate have come up with a cute idea of putting a nail polish in a ball tree ornament but can also be a wonderful socking stuffing. 

4. Cath Kidston flora hand cream trio

Hand creams make great gifts cause you wants dry hands? I love the beautiful floral packaging, its cheap and very useful.

5. Paperchase dark romance list book

Know anyone who loves to make list? This was made for them. I'm pretty sure it is available in different patterns but I thought this one was lovely.

6. The body shop shea treats

The body shop always have an amazing selection of gift sets and a lot for under 20. In this specific one you get a shower cream, body whip and mini crinkle bath lily. They also have it in different scents.

7. Soap and Glory your own sweet lime gift scent

Soap and Glory also have a great gift set selection and for 10 you get quiet a bit. This set comes in a really nice gift box and contains a body wash, body scrub, body butter cream, hand cream and a suds boosting body polish. 

8. Sleek i-Divine eyeshadow palette

Sleek have very reasonably priced eyeshadow palettes that are great quality and have a wide selection of shades, it would make the perfect stocking stuffing for any beauty lover. 

9. Bread, cake, doughnuts, pudding recipe book

This is recipe book containing sweet and savory recipes and I just really love the cover of this book. A great present for anyone who loves to cook.

I will be doing a lot more of these gift guides for different budgets and people. So I hope it was helpful.

Brand focus: W7

Before I start the products I am talking about were sent to me but my reviews are my honest opinions. Anyway, like I said I was kindly sent some products from w7 and I have never tried their products before but have heard a lot about them. They are known for their cheap prices and dupes. 

w7 Angel eyes, eyeshadow palette

This is my favourite product that I received and it is this beautiful eyeshadow palette. The packaging is a little cheap but the eyeshadow make up for it. They are highly pigmented except the first shade is quite sheer. The palette has seven shade, three and shimmery and four are matte. This palette is great from an everyday look and they look gorgeous on the eyes. Plus you get a really good mirror. Definitely worth checking out.

 

w7 big lash mascara and eyeliner pencil

This is a lovely eye duo. The mascara makes my eyelashes really long and doesn't clump at all. I weirdly enough like the packaging, I really don't know why, but it's whats inside and it is wonderful. The eyeliner pencil glides on really nicely and stays put all day. The packaging is similar to the mascara. And together they are perfect.

w7 full colour lipstick

And lastly I was sent this lipstick, now I am not sure what the name or number is but it is a bright dolly pink colour. I don't really wear lipstick this colour but I did decide to try it and it does look quite nice when applied lightly. The colour is build-able but can sink in the creases of your lips. The packaging is very plastic-y. 

Overall the brand is very affordable and the products are pretty decent. The eyeshadow palette is gorgeous and they also have dupes of the urban decay naked palettes. I will definitely be trying a few of their other eyeshadow palettes and blushes. Will you be trying any of these products? What do you think? Let me know.

product review: Witch blemish stick

I received the Witch blemish stick in the post a week or so ago apparently I had won it, no idea where from but I'm not complaining. I have been trying it out for a week and usually I would wait a little longer to do a review but I love it. You can use it as many times as you need and it helps to dry out blemishes. It comes in a push up tube which I'm not very fond of and has a screw up top. The smell kind of reminds me a of a lighter scent of vicks. I had tried it out on some of my blemishes and it had dried it out within hours and the next morning it had definitely reduced in size which was amazing.

 I am definitely impressed with this product. I have tried a lot of blemish sticks in the past and none of them have ever really made a difference but I have high hopes for this one. And I am definitely going to be trying a lot more from the Witch skincare range. Have any of you tried Witch skincare products?
