Christmas Gift Guide Part Two!
Here are a few ideas for siblings, friends or partners. We hope this gives you a rough idea on what to get.
2. Ted Baker Purse £63.20 - Women love a good old purse and we wouldn't complain if we were given one of these for Christmas!
3. Primark Dressing Gown £8 - To us, a dressing gown has the life span of two years, so if her dressing gown is looking a bit tatty or she's someone who has has everything, then this is perfect, (softer the better.)
4. Lancome La Vie Est Belle £45-£82 - It is a fruity fragrance, that stays on all day and smells amazing.
5. Jo Malone Candle £42 - This is a luxury gift, as long as you know what kind of smell she likes, you can't go wrong.
6. Pandora Prices Varied - Pandora is a brand that has taken off and most women own one. If you're looking for a personalized gift, go for this one. Guarantee she will love it.
7. Zoella Make-Up Bag £16 - This is a big cosmetics bag that most women will appreciate. It's such a lovely design.
8. Real Techniques Brush Set £20 - If she is into her make-up, go for this one. It's a relatively new set.
1. Diesel Only the Brave Tattoo £35-£52.20 - This aftershave smells so good, we brought this for our brother last year and he loves it. This would be a great gift for him as it is a scent that possibly every guy likes.
2. ManCave The Survival Set £22.50 - If you are stuck on what to get anyone, a wash bag full of body lotions are great especially for a man, as the majority probably don't own one.
3. Muppets Socks £15 - Socks are always an ideal present, we found these ones which are a bit of a laugh but are perfect for this time of the year. One can never have too many socks!
4. Emporio Armani Watch £143 - If you are wanting to spend a bit more, a watch is perfect when wanting to treat him, This watch is very nice as it will appeal to many.
5. Superdry Hoodie £49.99 - A hoodie is a great idea something you can't go wrong with this one looks cozy and warm.
6. Nike Roshe One £70 - Women have a thing with handbags, men love their shoes. A pair of Nikes will go down a treat.
7. Sony Headphones £49.99 - Another great present are headphones, it's always nice to have a good pair you can't really go wrong.
8. Call of Duty £46.99 - Games are a go to present, all guys are different and don't have the same taste in game. So there so many to chose from, but COD is something most guys love!

Hi Guys,
The months are going by faster and faster, it only feels like we posted our October Favourites last week! But hey ho, here are our November Favourites!
We both have a pair of the Primark Pyjamas, they are so comfy and soft. You can always count on Primark to get your Christmas P.J's, we get them from there every year. The bottoms are like leggings and the top is a tad baggy, we consider these the perfect P.J's! We could only find the top online.
Makeup Revolution always do a good palette, we love the highlighters! The three shades are great, if you like playing around with make-up and trying different looks.
We actually bought the Illamasqua from Tk Maxx for £4, but it was in the reduced section, as the box was broken. We would pay the actual price for this, as it is such an amazing lip gloss. It is defiantly worth the money!
Katie managed to get hold of Soar back in August, it is an essential in a make-up collection! We have been using it with the Illamasqua lip gloss. They look so good together.
You can't ever go wrong with Clinique, whichever face product you go for really. We had been given one of the bottles from our Mum, who had the gift set and didn't need both of them. We love it so much, your face feels good when you have removed your make-up.
Vaseline is yet another essential in your make-up collection. We always make sure we have the Aloe Vera or the original one, only because we use this a lot when we catch a cold. It is great to put around your nose, to stop creating dry skin when blowing your nose all the time.
We have been trying out so many different toothpastes recently, we are in love with this one. It does feel like it helps in the whitening process, we can't say it does, but our teeth look better.
Our hands don't ever go dry, but we like to take care of them and use hand cream. This one smells so nice and our hands feel great after using it. Will be buying another after this runs out.
The Ultra Cover and Conceal palette is so handy,it has a high coverage and it is great to use for contouring. As you can tell we use this quite a lot and defiantly recommend it, as it is very affordable!
The scrunchie's are a must have around winter, especially a velvet one. We have been and will carry on wearing them throughout this period. They are great to wear to work if you want to be festive.
We could go on and on about Modern Muse, but we won't. Rachel bought this and has been wearing it every day, so many people love the smell. It was a difficult decision on choosing which Muse to go for, but the woman in the shop helped a lot. The Chic was apparently made for the older woman and the Le Rouge was lovely, but it was on the fruity/sweet side.
The Luxe Oil is so amazing, we have been using this for a while. We just haven't featured it in our faveourites, it is a top favourite and always will be.
We Love these Fairy Lights, they look like baubles. They are battery operated, which is so handy, as you can place them anywhere. They're a steal!

Christmas Gift Guide For Parents!
Here are a few gift ideas for parents, it can be quite hard at times to decide what to get your parents, hopefully these give you a few ideas.
2. Laura Ashley Cookbook Stand £32 - This is perfect if your Mum loves her recipe books, it's modern and will add a touch of the country to your kitchen. It is on sale at £20.16, so get it whilst you can!
3. Yankee Large Jar Candle £19.99 - We picked the Mandarin and Cranberry, it's a smell that a lot of people like. If this isn't your Mum's taste, then there are many more from Yankee to chose from.
4. Thierry Mugler Alien Gift Set £50 - This is a perfume you can't really go wrong with, most people love the smell of it. Our Mum loves this and so do most of her friends. There's nothing better than having perfume as a gift.
5. Next Gift Card £10 to £200 - So if you are stuck, like really stuck or your Mum is hard to buy for...then there is always the option of the gift card. That is our go to backup plan.
6. Emma Bridgewater Mug £19.95 - This is such a personal present, you can actually personalize them on the Emma Bridgewater website, but at the moment it is 20% off on John Lewis.
7. Cath Kidston Handbag £55 - So our household and family are huge Cath fans, so we couldn't leave this one out. All Mum's love having Cath in their lives and if they don't have anything from here, then bring it into her life! There is an umbrella and purse with the same pattern, so if you're wanting to spend more on her, then we'd get the set.
8. Sanctuary Gift Set £45 - So this is a bargain at the moment, it is half price. We can't believe this, most things on boots at the moment are half price. So if you're organised like we are, then start shopping!
2. BBQ Tool Set £27.45 - Most men love BBQ's and the love having the right tools for one...even if they only use them a few times a year, it's still something they'll appreciate.
3. Saltrock Hoddie £44.99 - Saltrock is for all ages, it looks great on everyone! There are a few to chose from on the website. All Dad's love a good hoddie!
4. M&S Dressing Gown £29.50 - This is something we're guilty of getting a lot for ours, as we haven't known what to buy. A dressing gown is essential and all men love a nice soft one.
5. Collar Stiffeners £10 - So not all men use these, but the neat, clean and proud men will use them. We didn't know what they were for a long time, but found out not long ago, they keep the collar in place and stiff.
6. Amazon Gift Card £10 to £500 - If you're stuck on what to get a Dad who has so much, then (like Mum's) you can get a gift card. Amazon is a great place, as it has such a variety, men love it.
7. Bulldog Skincare £15 - A great grooming set, it comes with a washbag which is quite handy, it becomes a two in one gift then.
8. Ted Baker Cufflinks £36 - Men love Cufflinks and to be honest, if we were men, so would we. You can chose from so many and they're all so detailed. Ted Baker is more luxury, there are more affordable ones out there and they're great too.

October Beauty Favourites!
We are a couple of weeks late for the favourites post, but it is something we can't miss!
Products included:
Suddenly Diamonds Lidl £4
We tried quite a few products, most being skincare in October.
We're always looking for good breakout creams/gels and we have tried LOTS! One that we find really does a good job is the Witch Blemish Gel. When we feel a spot coming, we will put some on and apply it often throughout the day and it won't appear.
You can rely on the Botanics cleanser to remove your make-up and for the price it is good value. It's a cheaper version of the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water.
Our go to eye make-up remover from now on is Balm Away, it is so quick and is so much better than other eye make-up removers!
A product you can never go wrong with is the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer! This is a product we always have in our make-up bag.
Katie's bought some new foundation in the last week of October, we'd seen reviews about this one and they were all raving about it, so we bought it to try and we can't really fault it. It is high coverage, it makes you look airbrushed. We will definitely be purchasing another when this one runs out.
Our lips get very dry at this time of the year, so we always have lip balm in our bags. We have had EOS for a while, but we stopped using it a couple of months ago, as we got a bit fed up with the flavour and smell. But we have got it out and it does the job!
For a very affordable, volumising mascara, Collection do a good range.
This NARS nail varnish is the perfect red for all skin tones. Red is a very staple colour for our nails, this shade is our favourite.
Suddenly Diamonds is from Lidl! They have a variety of perfume, Suddenly and Suddenly Diamonds are the two we have tried. They both smell AMAZING! Suddenly smells like Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle and Diamonds smells like Hugo Boss Orange! The smell only doesn't last long, but for the price you can't go wrong! We use them like body spray and always have a bottle it in our bags.
