last minute gift - Xen Tan Light Gradual set

What do you mean you still haven't bought all your Christmas presents?! Don't worry i'm off out last minute shopping tonight; i promise myself every year things will be different and i'll get all my presents bought in January but it never happens! Maybe next year..

If you have any fake-tan friends or just fancy a little treat for your self, this set from Xen-Tan would be prefect. I love a bit of Xen-Tan, it has to be my favourite fake tan brand. I've been testing this set out for 5 days now and i would recommend this to any pale girls like myself! The colour looks very natural, it has a  lovely sweet scent and the tanning mitt makes applying it so much easier.

Here's what Xen-Tan have to say about the products inside the kit.

Xen-Tan Transform Daily Self-Tan 177ml
Una Healy's favourite tanning product, Xen-Tan Transform is perfect for those who want a natural-looking tan that develops gradually and leaves skin looking radiant and healthy for days.

- Xen-Tan Body Scrub 236ml
Xen-Tan's gentle exfoliant is designed to successfully prepare your skin for a beautiful, natural-looking tan, and help it last even longer. A little really does go a long way, so it's a great value choice too.

- Xen-Tan Luxury Tanning Mitt
Specially designed and tested by Xen-Tan's beauty experts, the Luxury Tanning Mitt lets you achieve a professional salon finish in the comfort of your own home, making sure you exude the confidence that comes with a flawless finish.

This retails for �29.99 and is available to buy from feelunique.com

Hope you are having a good Christmas :) x

DIY Gift - make your own glossybox

I thought it would be nice this year to do some DIY gift ideas as well as the normal gift guides. Beauty boxes have taken the blogging world by storm this year, instead of giving someone a beauty box for Christmas why not make your own? You can fill it with products you think they'll love or with products that haven't worked for you! I think it's a bit more special is you hand select the products rather than buying ready-made beauty set. I've used an old glossybox and filled it with tissue paper & put 8 beauty products inside. This looks quite nice without wrapping the products or box up. I'm going to tie a Christmas card to the lid and wrap some ribbon around it - easy peasy pamper present.

Will you be making your own beauty box for someone? I love receiving DIY presents!

New limited edition Christmas Moonies!

Holy moly, it's nearly Christmas! Have you bought all your Christmas Presents yet? I've still got quite a few people to buy for, I think a bit of online shopping is in need! I wanted to share with you some new products I've added to the Moonie shop recently. If you have no idea what 'Moonie' is, you're missing out! Have a little read of this post as it explains everything.

Firstly, I've designed a little santa Neil! Perfecting for popping on the Christmas tree. Retails for �2.99 *FREE postage this month.
'Brand new for Christmas 2012. Forget fairies and gold stars,your Christmas tree needs a Neil. 
Lovingly hand crafted from brown jute and felt.'

Next are the new limited edition Christmas Moonies (�6.99), which would make the cutest gift for a skincare lover. It's such a unique, handmade beauty gift - suitable for all ages and skin types.
'Here at Moonie, we think Christmas should be beautifully simple. That's why we've been busy lovingly hand-making some very special Christmas Moonies.

Each Pack contains three natural, un-bleached Moonies which are then carefully hand-wrapped in brown paper, stamped with our exclusive 'Neil' design. Includes a limited edition Christmas Neil adding a festive touch to a perfectly packaged Present.

Moonies are suitable for all ages and skin types making them the ideal Christmas gift.'

I wanted to jazz up the packaging so I designed a Neil stamp and printed it onto brown paper!

 That's everything, happy seasonal shopping! Does anyone else think buying presents for others is the best bit? Make sure your cool enough to follow Neil on twitter here so your the first to know about any special offers or giveaways(hint,hint).
