Christmas 2013 - Christmas Day and Presents!

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and I hope you are all having a lovely holiday break! I though I would write up a blog post on Christmas and how my Christmas day unfolded!

This is our tree. This is our second year having a real tree. The photo really doesn't do it justice as to how big and pretty it really is! I spent Christmas at home with my mum and dad this year. We got up at around about 8 and opened our presents! It doesn't matter how old you get you still need to get up at the same time and take turns opening your presents!

Coat, Boots, Scarf and Gloves - New Look

I had actually received and used the main bulk of my presents for Christmas. If you're interested I wrote a blog post on the above clothes that I got from my parents for Christmas. You can check it out here.

Now on to what I actually unwrapped on Christmas morning! I really love the thought that has gone in to my presents this year and they are all things I will put to great use! 

Loverdose Tattoo Gift Set

If you have seen my review of the Loverdose Perfume you will know that I only own Loverdose as a perfume. I wear it day in, day out and have never really tried anything else. Then I saw Loverdose Tattoo being advertised. I immediate went to my nearest boots to spray it to test it... well I fell in love and my generous boyfriend bought me the gift set for the Loverdose Tattoo perfume (he also took my boots card to give me the points - bonus!)

Loverdose Tattoo Gift Set

In the gift set you get a sample size of the original Loverdose which I am thankful for as I always love chucking these in my bag! On top of the 30ml Loverdose Tattoo perfume you also get a 50ml shower gel and a 50ml body lotion. 

Soap & Glory Bright and Bubbly Gift Set

Next I opened this present. This was from my mum and its a good old Soap & Glory gift set! If you are a keen follower of my blog you will know that I just bought/treated myself to the Yule Monty limited edition bag which came with 9 full sized goodies. This however is a nice treat to also have and the boxes are great for storing make-up brushes! 

Soap & Glory Bright and Bubbly Gift Set

In this Soap & Glory gift set you receive: Hand Food 50ml, Scrub of Your Life 50ml, Clean on me 75ml, The Righteous Butter 50ml and a loofa!

MAC Stroke of Midnight Brush Kit: Mineralize

This next present I will love forever and will always remind me of my boyfriend! As followers of my blog will know MAC is a brand I have been wanting to try for so long now. Ever since I was around 17/18 and began wearing make-up I always wanted to try something from the brand. However because it is an expensive brand I wanted to make sure I would get the use out of them! My loving boyfriend bought me the MAC Stroke of Midnight Brush Kit: Mineralize which I had said to him I would chose if I was buying myself one of the sets available as I would use them the most in my routine... clearly he was listening and taking note!

Here is a sneak peak of the set. I plan on doing a full review of this set! I even plan on reviewing the little samples that came with it! I received MAC Zoom Fast Mascara and MAC Prep and Prime. All I can say is my boyfriend is amazing! For all of those MAC fans that read my blog I will also be the proud owner of MAC foundation soon which I also plan on reviewing for you all!

Despicable Me 2 and A3 Notepad

These next two presents are random ones. My mum knows how obsessed me and my boyfriend are about Despicable Me and minions so she bought me the DVD (we both thought it was funny that she left the price on, there is always one price tag that is left on isn't there!) My cousin also bought me a little notepad to do my writing in. It is an A3 sized lined pad that has a magnetic clasp to keep it shut. I enjoy writing so I will be sure to be writing in this little book!

Clothes, clothes and clothes!

As always my mum and dad showed just how much they know me and my style with the clothes they bought me. I wasn't expecting more clothes but they picked my up some pjs, some leggings and two skater style lace dresses from Select! I thought I would show you guys the dresses from Select!

Red Lace Skater Dress - Select

This first skater dress is so warm its unbelievable. It is hard to tell from the picture but it is made from a really thick material that is lined within the dress. 

The lace itself is thick wool almost - I'd call it more of a lace pattern rather than actual lace on the dress! I ended up wearing this dress on Christmas day as it was so warm and also very festive looking!

Blue Lace Skater Dress - Select

This next dress is a lace dress and is also in the form of a skater style. I love this blue it is such a beautiful royal blue colour that will be great for winter but can also be dressed up and down with belts and jewellery.

As you can tell this dress is much more delicate but I really do love the floral lace pattern. Overall I am so happy with both of these dresses and I don't think I could have chosen better myself!

Roast Dinner!

Of course I had to include a picture of my amazing roast dinner! Kudos to my mother she did an amazing job as always! I always get nervous for moving out thinking about how awful my first roast dinner will be in comparison to my mothers! Needless to say this was absolutely gorgeous!

So how was your Christmas? What did you all end up doing and what were the presents you received and gave? Let me know in the comments! Happy Holidays to you all!
