Men this one is for you!

Us women know you sometimes struggle to buy for us, we can be very fussy creatures (sorry).

So here is a gift guide to help you out this season.

Lush - Let's Get Ready to Crumble gift set.

I am really getting into Lush & their gift sets are something I get people every year without fail! They have loads to choose from & all at different price points! What girl doesn't love a bit of pampering?!

Available from Lush online & in stores, for only £18.50.

Thomas Sabo Love Bridge Bracelet

Jewellery is always a good choice, but half the problem is there is so much choice. These are new to Thomas Sabo this Christmas! A bracelet that you can put your own personal message on. This is definitely a present for someone very special in your life. It also comes in a variety of finishes, including rose gold. Available from Thomas Sabo for £105.00.

Party Like a Rockstar kit by Benefit
Perfect for a girl that loves make up! Benefit always do really great & cute gift sets at this time of year. They are a great way for a girl to try new products. Be quick though, they sell out fast! Available from anywhere that stocks Benefit for £29.50.

Soap & Glory Scents of Occasion
Fragrance is always a nice treat, however if you aren't too sure what type a girl likes, go for a set like this that has a variety of different ones. Soap & Glory scents are really nice & comfortable to wear. This set is available from Boots for only £12.00.

Yankee Candle in Black Cherry
Women love candles, it's just part of life! Yankee Candles are great quality & smell amazing. There is a scent for everyone, trust me. I love this Black Cherry one for this wintery time of year. Yankee Candles are available at a variety of places, such as card shops or you can go direct to Yankee's website. The medium size jar candles retail for £18.99.

Real Techniques Bold Metals Essentials set.
A girl can never have too many make up brushes & this set is just gorgeous! Real techniques make amazing quality brushes & this bold metals collection is amazing to look at too. This set is currently reduced in price too, so get them whilst you can! Available from Boots, currently for only £30 reduced from £64! Perfect!

I only pluck my brows. I do this approximately once a week. However if I see any stray hairs I will just pluck them there & then. I just use some standard tweezers for this.

I do also trim any hairs that are getting too long using some small scissors, just so things don't get too bushy & out of control!

I then fill them in. I tend to use either the Benefit BrowZing kit (powder & wax) or the Soap & Glory Archery brow pencil. I then either use a wax or gel to set my brows.

Below is a tutorial on how I do this:

L'oreal Skin Perfection

This is a weird product which I bought by accident (I'll spare you the details) but it turned out to be quite a little gem. It's a blurring primer which decreases the appearance of visible pores & overall just makes your skin look a lot better.

L'oreal True Match Foundation

This is my holy grail foundation! I just love it so of course I'd be using it. The shade I'm currently using is N1.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer

Another favourite base product of mine, this concealer is a little highlighting and has great coverage. It also isn't too thick which I like. It also really is long wearing.

Soap & Glory Archery Brow Pencil

I haven't really been about that polished brow look this month, I've been ill & feeling pretty lazy so a brow pencil is ideal. I love using powders but they are a little fussy at times. This is great as it has a brush on one end & the pencil on the other (a bit like the brow wiz).

Benefit High Beam

I feel like I fall in love with this product every summer. I love how this highlighter looks on my skin and I've been preferring highlighting over contouring recently.

Check out this new trend, it's called strobing.

Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes Palette

This palette is a great on the go, quick to grab & use palette. Like I said before I've been a bit lazy this month so this has been ideal. It's also a great size to throw in your purse.

Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara

This mascara is perfect for sensitive eyes & that is the exact reason it's been my go to mascara this month. When I'm ill but need to wear mascara this is the one I go for.

Barry M Contour Kit

I've been loving this kit since I got it, the colours are great & it's a bargain.

MUA Blush

This product I've had for ages & I rediscovered it this month. It's actually a really nice blush for £2.50! It can get a little shimmery though if you use too much, so don't be too heavy handed. This blush is in the shade English Rose.

Make Up Revolution Lipstick

For a cheap lipstick you really can't complain at this product. It's actually quite moisturising and comfortable to wear. The shade I've been using is 'When You Came To Me'. Which is a nice browny nude.

I purchased this because their were quite a few beauty vloggers raving about it.

However after using it for quite a few months I don't think its that great, sadly. I think it does a decent  job when you apply it, however I feel like it doesn't keep my matte for very long.

If you're happy to & have the time to re-apply throughout the day then you'll probably get on just fine with this product.

I do like that it's a translucent powder though, as being pale makes it hard to find making coloured powders.

As you can see I ave hit pan on this powder so it can't be that bad, however I don't think I'll be in a rush to repurchase this product.

Especially for the price!

3. Vaseline/ Lip Balm

I always like to keep a lip balm or tub of Vaseline on my bedside table as I like to apply some before I go to sleep. That way it has all night to moisturise my lips without me drinking or eating, which can rub it off. This also comes in extra handy if you're ill, as Vaseline can be used for anything.

Currently I'm using Vaseline Pink Bubbly.

4. Hand cream

Hand cream is again something I like to apply at night as it gives it time to sink into the skin. However I do also spend a lot of time in the day working sat on my bed so it's also handy (haha, get it) then too. At the moment I'm using Soap & Glory's Hand Food.

This hand cream is great as it is non-greasy.

5. A book

I don't read much these days, but I want to. So I've actively been trying to make myself read more. I find keeping a book on my bedside table encourages me to read more, even if it's just a few pages before I go to sleep. I sometimes find it makes me a little sleepy, where as sometimes watching tv keeps me awake. The book that I'm currently reading is The Glam Guide.

The three bags you get variety in size. The smallest isn't pictured here, but is roughly the size of a coin purse. The use this one for smaller things like hairbands & bobby pins.

The second bag is the pink one depicted inside the largest bag this is ideal for make up brushes.

Lastly there is the largest bag which is transparent, which means it doubles up at the airport in your hand luggage (ps. it holds about three times more than those bloody sandwich bags you have to use at the airport). This bag is my favourite of the three, it's mostly clear plastic as well so it's easy to clean. It must also be pretty good at protecting your products as I've never had any break when travelling with this bag.

I love Soap & Glory's face & body products and their make up bags are no different.

So here's to my most loved make up bag & will be for years to come I'm sure!

Next I'm going to go onto the Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara.

I got this at Christmas in a Soap & Glory gift set,  although I have had this mascara before.

The wand is quite big, which I like for volume. However this mascara isn't great for curling but I just curl my lashes before application.

Lastly there's the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in 'Pink In The Afternoon', which is a good old favourite of mine. I love this natural pink shade. I think it really suits me & doesn't clash with my hair, which is great. I love the formulation of these lipsticks as they are really nice and moisturising too.

Let me know below what's new in your make up bag!
