What I Got For Christmas-Beauty Edition

I have a huge obsession with The Body Shop, especially there shower gels and body butters. Luckily, I received a humongous 750ml bottle of my all time favourite, Satsuma shower gel. This has come with a pump on the top, as it is such a large size, so this will be in my shower for the foreseeable future. I was also treated to a Mango shower gel and body butter. This is a scent that I have never tried before, so am excited to give this a go. I love having both the matching shower gel and body butter as I really think it enhances the staying power of the scent. 

This year I didn't ask for any perfume, but I was lucky enough to recieve Kylie Minogue's 'Darling' fragrance. This was one of the first perfumes that I ever began wearing and is very subtle and feminine. I really like the bottle for the scent, although the black, bulky lid does slightly ruin it. Even so, I am very excited to start wearing this again. 

I also got a couple of miniatures in my stocking, which are always useful for travelling and the gym. I got a Natural Collection shower gel in the Apple and Lime scent, as well as the Cocoa Butter body wash from The Body Shop. I have never tried either of these before, so am looking forward to giving them a try. 

In makeup, I was ecstatic to unwrap a Benefit 'Love At First Shine' set. This contains 6 mini sizes of their lip glosses in the newly released packaging, from earlier this year. The packaging is really cute and the sizes are perfect for your handbag. I have tried the shade 'A Lister' (top left in photo) already, which is a peachy pink shade and the formulation is smooth and soft, without being sticky. This is the first time I have ever tried a Benefit lip product and I am very impressed. I am very excited to try the rest of the shades in the set.
