What I Got For Christmas 2014

Hi everyone! So Christmas is well and truly over for another year,I had a really nice day and I hope you did too! So I thought that I would do a 'What I got for Christmas' post because I really love reading these kind of blog posts and I know other people do too! I'm in no way, boasting or bragging about what I got and I'm very grateful for everything! (This will be quite a long blog)

I was so excited whenever I opened this!! I've wanted a dslr camera for so long and I finally got one! My mum and dad got me a Canon 100D along with two lenses and of course the kit lense which it comes with! I got the 50mm lense and it's amazing!! I love photography and I can't wait to learn loads more about my camera in 2015!

I was very spoilt this year by Mum and Dad and they got me so many beauty products!! 

I got the Lorac Pro Palette for Christmas,I couldn't believe it whenever I opened this! I have wanted this for sooo long but I knew that you couldn't get in the UK but I found a way to get it without having to pay a fortune for shipping and I had told my mum about this so she got me it!! It has 16 shades,half of them are matte and the other half are shimmer so the perfect combination! I can't wait  to try out different makeup looks with this palette! (There will be a post on this soon)

I also got the Nars Virtual Domination Palette which was part of the Nars Holiday Collection this year. I am absolutely in love with this palette, I don't have any of the Nars blushes and this was a perfect way to try some out! The packaging is beautiful and inside there are 3 blushes,a highlighter and a bronzer. The three blushes are in the shades 'Deep Throat', 'Sex Fantasy' and 'Final Cut'. The highlighter is in the shade 'Miss Liberty' and of course Nars Laguna bronzer. They are all reasonably sized and I can't wait to try this out although I've already got the Laguna bronzer and I love it so this will come in handy as an extra.

I got quite a lot of Nars products this year for Christmas! Which I'm not complaining about because it's my favourite make-up brand. I got the Nars Audacious Lipstick in the shade 'Barbara.' I've wanted one of these lipsticks for the longest time but they are quite expensive! I love this colour its such a perfect shade,it's like a 'my lips but better' shade and it's just a perfect nude shade.

I actually asked my Mum and Dad if they could get me this for Christmas and they did! I have been wanting this foundation for so long,everyone seems to love it and I can definitely say that I do too! It's Nars Sheer Glow foundation in the shade 'Siberia', it is the most easily applied foundation I've ever used and it gives such a beautiful finish. 

I got the Nars ITA kabuki brush, I had been eyeing this up this past year and I can't believe that I finally own one. It's the type of brush that I wouldn't buy myself because its so expensive so I thought that I would ask for it,for Christmas. It's perfect for a much more defined contour and I love it but I thought that it would much better quality because it's so expensive but other than that it's a brilliant brush.

The last Nars product that I got for Christmas was the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. I already have this concealer but the shade that I have is too dark for me so I got this in the lightest shade 'Chantilly' and mix it with my other concealer for the perfect shade. It really is a great concealer. 

I know that I'm a little late, but I finally own the Naked 3 palette. It's so gorgeous and it has the prettiest shades. My Mum and Dad got me this as a surprise Christmas present and I'm in love with it. I cannot wait to try out some makeup looks with this... 

I also got the Urban Decay Perversion/Subversion mascara and the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray. I have been wanting this mascara for so long because it has amazing reviews, I haven't used it yet but I can't wait to try it out! I have tried out the Setting Spray and it's amazing,it keeps your make up in place all day which is amazing!! 

I got these two products for Christmas as well,TheBalm Mary-Lou Manizer and Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner. I haven't yet tried these out either but the Mary-Lou Manizer has been hyped all over the internet and the Benefit They're Real Push Up Liner was released this year and it has been on my wishlist ever since! 

I got the Anastasia Beverley Hills Contour Kit that I have wanted for so long and everytime I went to order it,it was out of stock. So it finally came out before Christmas and I decided to order it so my Mum said that she would buy it for me,for Christmas so this was a gift that I knew I was getting. I really love it! 

Ok,I'm so sorry if your bored already but this is the last make-up related product...I promise! I got the Real Techniques Nic's Picks Limited Edition brushes. Real Techniques brushes are such good quality and I just think that you can never have enough of them! 

I also got some skincare products for Christmas this year. I got the Foreo Luna Mini which is a facial-cleansing device that is a lot gentler on the skin than the Clarisonic Cleansing brushes. The other Skincare product that I got was this Oskia Renaissance Cleansing Gel, I have heard Vivianna Does Make-up talk loads about this and it's been on my wishlist for a long time now!

These next two presents are from my Auntie and Uncle and I couldn't believe it when I opened these! I have wanted a Ted Baker purse for so long now but they were all so expensive that I never actually bought one but I dont know how my auntie knew that I liked them but she picked this one for me! I can honestly say this is the most pretty thing I own and I can tell that this will be put to good use in 2015. They also got me the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy perfume,every Christmas they get me a perfume and they always have the most pretty bottles as well as the most gorgeous scents. 

And thats it....that's all I got for Christmas this year!I also got some money and bath stuff but I thought that there would be little point showing them in this post! Again,I'm so grateful for everything that I've got this year! I hope you all had a great Christmas.
