Next Suede Boots in Berry | £26
In case you hadn't sussed it already, these are slipper boots. They kind of a look a bit like boots that you would wear outside the house but they're not, and they're the comfiest things ever! I actually already have these in Chestnut which I got for Christmas last year. I love getting new slippers each year and despite my original pair still being in good condition I just fancy a bit of a change. I love these ones so much; they keep my feet so warm and snug and they fit really well without feeling like they're going to slide off when you run up the stairs, so I've decided to keep with the same pair and go for a change of colour and I think the Berry is a gorgeous shade.
Nike Tanjun Trainers | £45
Nike Tanjun Trainers | £45
Come January I'll be jetting off down under to explore the wonders of Australia. Whilst I'm on my travels it will entail lots of walking around so I need to get myself a pair of trainers. I want to go for a neutral colour that will go with lots of different outfits however I'm not hugely into trainers and they may not come back in the best condition so I don't want to spend too much on them. The Nike Tanjuns seem a pretty reasonable price and feel really comfortable too.
Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Pasiphae | £21
I first saw this eyehadow on Megan's blog and even just from her photos I loved it as soon as I saw it. I've since been to a Nars counter to try it out for myself and can confirm that it is just as beautiful in real life. What I really love about it is that the intensity can be changed, hence the name, whether it is used wet or dry. It's a golden green shade however when used wet the green is intensified. When it's dry it looks perfect for a glam daytime look but the intense green achieved when it is wet will add drama to an evening look. I can imagine I'll have so much fun playing around with this.
I've not yet tried any of the lipsticks from MAC's Viva Glam range but III would definitely have to be my favourite. It's described as a foxy brown plum which is a shade that I'm really loving at the moment, and of course MAC lipsticks are one of the best so I'm sure I'd get lots of wear out of it.
Diptyque Mini Candle | £20
Diptyque candles seems to be everywhere and aside from making great blog photo props I've heard they smell pretty good too! They're not cheap which is why I've just opted for the mini but I'd love to try one out. I'm not sure which scent to go for but I've just found a Space NK has opened in my nearest town so I'm planning on going to in to take my pick!

Although Wonderbra have such gorgeous bra designs I find they're quite pricey so I tend to only buy 'practical' bras from them that I know I'll be able to wear with all sorts of different outfits. My pet hate is being able to see my bra underneath my clothes so this will come in really handy. The deep plunge will be perfect for V-neck tops and dresses and the straps are removable too making it extra versatile. I always like to invest a little more when it comes to strapless bras so hopefully this will keep everything firmly in place!
Urban Decay Naked Palette | £38
I'm probably about five years late with Urban Decay's Naked Palette but I can't resist it any longer! I don't think this needs much of an explanation as it's a well loved product and one of the brands best-sellers. The suede-like, silky powdered formula sounds like an absolute dream to apply and the colours are so beautiful. The biggest issue I've had is deciding between the original, or Naked 2 or 3. After a lot of deliberation and chopping and changing my mind I've decided to go with the original as it's the one that I think I'd get the most use of. Annoyingly however, it's the one with the cheapy packaging, but you can't have it all... I guess!
John Rocha Designer Taupe Fleece Hooded Dressing Gown | £32
Becca Under Eye Brightening Corrector | £19
John Rocha Designer Taupe Fleece Hooded Dressing Gown | £32
I practically live in my dressing gown during the winter months so I definitely feel like I'm due a new one. This has a Sherpa fleece trim and looks so cosy. I really love the colour too, pastel shades are definitely my favourite when it comes to dressing gowns. This will keep me extra warm this winter!
Surprise, Surprise another under eye product! I've recently tried my first Becca product (you can read about it here) and I've been so impressed that it's made me want to try a lot more from the brand. Peachy/pink tones are best used to neutralise any darkness under the eyes so the idea with this is to apply this to the area first and then pop your concealer over the top. According to Becca the corrector will 'backlight' your concealer to eradicate any dark shadows. Sound amazing? Er yes!
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer | £21
Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer | £21
I've hit the pan with my current Illamasqua bronzer so I need to replace it before I leave for my travels. Although I've not tried a Too Faced Bronzer, they seem to be quite well renowned for them so I can't wait to give this a try. There's a vast range of bronzers to choose from within the brand but I tend to favour matte bronzers which is why I've gone for this one. The packaging is also really cute and despite it not being of main importance, it's definitely a nice touch.
Anthropologie Gold Monogram Mug | £8
I'm due a new mug as my favourite one from Whittards sadly broke in the washing up bowl, so now I have to drink my tea out of the not-so-good-looking mugs and it's just not the same! This Anthropologie mug seems to be on every bloggers Christmas list this year as the beautiful golden glaze is a limited edition design over the festive period. I have a feeling will make for a perfect replacement mug!
So it's a bit of a long one this month, but it's Christmas and there's so many gorgeous items around! What's on your Christmas list this year?
