OLD ENGLISH COMPANY - COMPETITION & WISHLIST**

Hello everyone! Long time no post, I know. These past few months have been really busy - specifically at work and I have found myself unable to find the time to be able to write posts and I've kind of been lacking the motivation as a result as well. 

However, blogging has been a passion of mine for almost 5 years now so I'm not going to give it up anytime soon! We all have those dry spells in whatever we do and I think I've just been experiencing one of them but I'm back and ready to write again!

I've always been a fan of organising and planning, sometimes a little too much so. I can't really function at full capacity without a list of things I need to do and I've always got to have a diary and notebook close by. So when Old English Company contacted me and asked me if I'd like to write about their competition, I thought it would be a perfect piece of content for my blog. In this post, I'm going to tell you all about their competition and share with you some of my wishlist items from their website! Enjoy.

Christmas Beauty Gifts from Too Faced and Benefit!

It's socially acceptable to start talking about Christmas now, right? Regardless, whether you're a fan of the early Christmas organiser or you leave it all to the last minute, it's nice to have some gift inspiration.

Whilst spending part of the money I should really be saving on you know, the necessities like makeup, I realised that some of these purchases would actually make great gifts. If you know someone who loves beauty and makeup, this may the post for you.

Too Faced's Melted French Kisses Gift Set - £22.00

TooFaced's infamous Melted Lipsticks are £19.00 a pop and so are quite the splurge for someone new to them and indeed, most of us in general for only one product. However, they recently came out with a cute little Christmas gift set containing four mini Melted Lipsticks for you to try and for the impressive price of only £22.00! You get a good variety of shades with some neutrals and brights as well as the chance to try not only their original formula, but also their "Metallic" formulation too. As a fan of their liquid lipsticks, I'm definitely all for this set and as anyone who has tried liquid lipsticks know, they last for ages so though these may be small, you're going to get a lot out of them.

The shades you get in this collection are (From L to R):

Metallic Peony, Chihuahua, Metallic Macaron & Berry. 

Benefit Stocking Filler Gift Set - £15.00

This last gift idea is probably my favourite and is one I treated myself to last year as well! Basically, every year Boots have on offer in which you receive a free (and super cute) Benefit stocking as well as 4 luxury sized samples from the brand for £15.00. The selections change slughly every year and this year, I got 2 mini's of their That Gal Primer, Bad Gal Lash Mascara and a mini Bad Gal eyeliner!

As with the TooFaced set, this is such a great way to try out some of what other brands have to offer - especially if you're new to them. You get deluxe samples in each set and so you're going to get a really good idea of what a product has to offer and whether or not it's for you!

What do you think of these cute Christmas gifts?
