Christmas Gift Guide

Today is Sunday 6th December which means Christmas is only 19 days away!! For some of us that is an exciting thought...food, presents, drinks and family! What more could you want? But for others it may be an absolute stress- particularly when you're trying to find the perfect present for everyone! Therefore, if you're looking for a present for a beauty lover, or even one for yourself (shhhh... I won't tell if you don't) I have some great ideas here for you at a range of prices! I'm even going to give you the opportunity to win some of the items included so keep reading!.






This Beauty Bay goody bag consists of 4 great products which altogether are worth £21.50! Inside you get a Lipgloss in the shade 'Petal', the 9-pan Bright Matte Palette and 2 brushes! This would be a great stocking filler for teenagers or those just starting out in makeup. Beauty Bay's own brand has such a good makeup and skincare range at such affordable prices and I think that this bag definitely highlights some of their best products, the brushes work really well and last for a long time compared to others at similar prices, the lipglosses are pigmented and give a really good sheen to the lip and the palettes are super pigmented and easy to blend! With this particular palette you can also create loads of different looks but if brights aren't for you then Beauty Bay also offer 3 other goody bags all at £15 which may be more to your style. 




Although this set may seem a little pricey but all the products within it are full-size and it is worth over £100! I would definitely recommend this to a makeup lover because it showcases some of Benefit's most popular and well-loved items. The set includes the BADgal BANG! mascara (my personal favourite!), the Dandelion blush, Precisely, My Brow Pencil in shade 3.5 and the new POREfessional Hydrate primer. I have tried all of the items in this set and can honestly say every item inside is worth it! In addition to this, Boots often run 10-20% off premium beauty which includes this set so if you are looking for this at a reduced price keep an eye out for deals like that! Finally, if you are looking for different Benefit products to gift there are a range of sets like this on the Boots website all at similar prices but with different items! 



If you are looking for presents for a skincare lover Stylevana is a great place to look! They have great deals including this sheet mask set by Daymellow! This set is very cheap at under £7 and it contains 5 masks!! Each mask is made to repair, sooth and moisturise dry and sensitive skin. I personally, love the smell of these sheet masks and I find them calming and stress relieving. I also love that these products are made in Korea so you know that they will have amazing skincare benefits. Finally, I also have a discount 10% discount off the whole Stylevana website! Just use code: INF10MADNESS (affiliate code). 

Every Christmas I find myself browsing at all of the Mario Badescu sets because they all just look so pretty and are great stocking fillers! This particular set caught my eye because I love both of the products within it and it's such a bargain! If you're looking for a little something for a skincare fanatic I would definitely recommend heading over to Beauty Bay and adding this to your basket! The Mint Lip Balm is super hydrating and tastes wonderful, it leaves the lips feeling soft all day and is especially great in these winter months. The Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea is also super refreshing and smells great! I love applying mine before moisturiser to give the skin an extra glow but it also works really well as a setting spray too! 

Ofra is very well known for their liquid lipstick formula so this set is perfect for those who want to try their lip products at a fraction of the price! This mini liquid lip set boasts the perfect everyday nudes that are easy to slip into your handbag or even your pocket for an on-the-go top up! Although they are obviously fairly small compared to the full-sized versions they are perfect for travel and you get a variety of colours for a good price. Personally, I love the formula of these lipsticks- they are pigmented, stay on all day and look great with a variety of makeup looks whether it be full glam or everyday natural. 


Wishful is fairly new to the skincare game but is crazily popular! Both the Yo Glow Enzyme Scrub and the Honey Balm Jelly Moisturiser included in this set are wildly popular online and are fast becoming a staple in many skincare guru's collections! Therefore this set gives you or your gift recipient a great chance to try these products out before paying out for a full-size one or is a great travel sized one if they have already got them in their collection! Both of these products have 5 star reviews on the array of websites that they are stocked on and although I have given the link to the feel unique website (because this item is currently on sale there) there are always sales on the other various stockists websites which include Boots and Cult Beauty so keep an eye on these sites too!


The main reason I have included this mascara set is purely because of the savings aspect! The normal Nars Climax Extreme Mascara is £22 alone but with this set you also get a mini of the classic Climax mascara too, all for less than what you would normally pay for one! In addition to this, Nars is stocked on so many sites that have regular sales such as Boots, Cult Beauty, LookFantastic, ASOS, Feel Unique etc that you can normally get and even better saving on this bargain too (the link given to Boots is currently at 15% off!). This set would be perfect for any luxury beauty lover because it is such a beautiful and popular mascara! It lengthens and thickens the lashes but also does not transfer and makes the eyes pop.



I hope that this small beauty gift guide has inspired you to get Christmas Shopping and that you have found some items that might be useful to you! If you liked the look of any of these products then head over to my Instagram @makeupmadnessuk where I am currently running a giveaway with lots of these gift guide items included and even a few extras! Below is what is included if you are interested. 




Happy Christmas shopping everyone! ðŸ’‹
