What to Buy: The Beauty Junkie

Good Morning Folks, I thought i'd give you a little introduction; i've put together some Christmas Gift Guides, as i do every year, but this year all i've done is collage them together, with only a little write up. I've categorised them but it honestly takes enough time selecting the items and putting them together, let alone adding text too. So you'll just be getting a little inspiration this year in the form of collages, and almost everything is from John Lewis. Yes, i do work for the brand but i am not at all paid to promote them, and frankly they don't even know i have a blog - i just truly believe in the products we choose to sell and the service we provide, such as Click & Collect, Collect +, as well as the amazing partners that work in branches to help you choose the perfect Christmas gift. Doing things this way will just make things easier for me in, what is going to be, a busy festive period. Enjoy!

There are so many lovely things on the market for a real beauty lover, this season, and these are just some highlights.

If you know what their favourite fragrance is, then that is always a lovely gift to get under the Christmas tree. Mine is Marc Jacobs' Daisy, which is what i've included here, and if you're not sure what their favourite is or you're looking to get them something new then Daisy is a lovely one to go for as it's very clean smelling and very fresh.

There's lots of lovely palettes out this Christmas, including this one from Bobbi Brown. They also have the beautiful 'Greige' palette out, there's all of the Urban Decay Naked palettes, as well as the Vice, Electric and Shadow box palettes from UD, but Guerlain, Dior, Mac and YSL are all also great brands to look at for eyeshadow palettes.

If you're looking for something really special to give, this Christmas, then Charlotte Tilbury is a brand to look at. Whatever you purchase from them, especially with the packaging, looks special but the products, themselves, really are amazing. Something else to splash out on is the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Palette, you should definitely look into this one. To someone who's not so much a make up loving, this can look quite boring but honestly, it's really something special.

Products like nail polish, face masks and body products are always lovely, yet easy, things to buy for someone else and you can rarely go wrong. I've just given you a few examples above.
