With the clock ticking on Christmas, I know many of my friends are still in search of amazing gift ideas. Inspired by the list that I put together for the people on my holiday gift list and my personal wish list, here are some great gift ideas under £50 or around $60 ish. Check them out and please let me know if I helped inspire any last minute gifts for yourself or friends and family!
‘Tis the time of year to get shopping for incredible holiday gifts! As someone who loves all things beauty, makeup and skincare, I wanted to compile a list of great gift ideas for under £15 (under $20) with links to the items in the UK and USA. Whether you’re looking for that “something small,” a stocking stuffer or an excuse to treat yourself, I’ve got you covered!
I’ve been getting more questions about my skincare regime lately (I blame the daily IG story selfies, which are all done with #nofilter hehe), so I thought I would do a monthly recap blog post and a video explaining what I have used up and my honest review on the product. I’m also going to do a BIG blog post detailing my current skincare regime soon….so stay tuned. Are you ready to snoop inside my beauty cabinet? Read on!
What’s the famous line about not knowing what you’ve got until it’s gone? Well, as an expat living abroad in London, you don’t realize all of the random things you love until they’re no longer available for purchase in your country. For example, when your favorite eye cream is not for sale in the UK and the prospect of buying it comes with a $30 shipping fee. Or, when UK/EU laws for skincare mean they cannot sell a specific formulation of a coveted serum – but they will in the U.S.!? Or, how about that cheap but oh-so-lovely eye pencil that you just cannot find a replacement for in the UK? I could go on – and I’m sure every expat can relate, whether it’s makeup, skincare, food or others.
Inspired by what I cannot have in the UK, here are four of my U.S. favorites for skincare and makeup that I just cannot live without and had to purchase while stateside for the Christmas holiday.
