Christmas Presents and Sales Haul // Sleek, Charlotte Tilbury, Waterstones & More

Hello lovely people! It feels like it's been a while since I blogged but that's only because I got so used to blogging every day in December. Hats off to any blogger who does proper full blogposts every day and has another job around it!
Today I thought I would show you a few bits and bobs that I've got up recently. Some of these I was given for Christmas and others I picked up in the sales.
I thought I would start with the very very best. My sister got me this Charlotte Tilbury Glastonberry lipstick. She wrapped it up and put it in a shoe box which had me very confused but I was SERIOUSLY excited when unwrapped this. I've wanted a Charlotte Tilbury lipstick forever and this berry colour is absolutely gorgeous!

I picked this book journal up at Waterstones during their 50% off sale. It's by Moleskine and I'm in love. I love notebooks and I love reading so it's the best of both worlds (rrp £17.99).

If you read my recent New Years resolution post then you may know that one of my resolutions is to right up a little sum up and word of the day every day of this year. I saw this notebook from Valentina in TK Maxx and thought it was perfect. (£4.99)

When this trend first appeared I thought it was ridiculous. Why on earth would anyone want a ball of fluff hanging from my bag or keys? But as you've probably guessed, I changed my mind. I ALWAYS, and I really do mean always, spend about 5 minutes at my front door rooting around in my bag trying to find my keys and getting gradually more and more worried that I'd forgotten them. Not any more though, it's hard to miss a giant fluffy ball in my bag! (New Look - £3.99)

This book caught my eye as soon as I walked into Waterstones. The cover is gorgeous and when I saw the illustrations inside I was sold, plus the story is super cute. I would highly recommend picking this one up, especially if you have kids to read it to! (Waterstones - £14.99)

I spotted these earrings in Primark and thought they were super cute. Primark is so hit and miss with jewellery, there's always a few things I love and a few things that are just awful. (Primark - £1)

 
I love Burt's Bees products in general (especially their body wash), but as always Lipbalms are my weakness. This honey one is gorgeous and actually smells of honey, not fake manufactured honey smell but legit straight out of the jar honey. (Boots - £3.99)
 
You can never go wrong with a Sleek pallet and this Storm palette is no different. The colours are absolutely beautiful and I don't think there is a single colour I won't be able to make work. (Boots - £7.99)

From left to right: Charlotte Tilbury - Glastonberry, Sleek Storm Pallette - Sand Storm, Snow Storm, Calm Before the Storm, Thunder Storm, Perfect Storm, Firestorm, Dust Storm, Gathering Storm, Storm Cloud, Electric Storm, Eye of the Storm and Blackout.

And there you have it. I'm officially very skint and I will not be going shopping anytime soon (although I did make Ebay and Amazon orders recently so keep an eye out for those!). I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe even spotted some things you'll pick up yourself. I also apologise for the number of times I've written the word "Storm" in this post!
