Let It Snow by John Green, I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai, lots of chocolatey bits, four Lush products - Butterball, Northern Lights, Creamy Candy Bath and Pheonix, two rings - one freshwater pearl ring and one silver rabbit ring, New Look bag, Fat Face pyjamas, Bobbi Brown Warm Eye Palette and No Smudge Mascara, New Look dress, Pull & Bear skirt, Pull & Bear tweed backpack.
First of all, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas (if you celebrate it)! I spent mine at home with my family, opening presents, eating lots of nice food and watching TV. Every year I like to do one of these posts, where I show you what I got for Christmas, and this year is no exception! Just a little disclaimer to say that I'm not trying to brag, I just personally enjoy reading these posts and they always seem to go down well with all of you!
I was very lucky and got some lovely things this year. As I mentioned in my Christmas wishlist post, I didn't ask for anything in particular so pretty much everything was a surprise! I got two bags this year - I really love the burgundy one from New Look which I chose myself, and I also got a cute backpack from Pull & Bear. One of the most surprising presents I received was the two Bobbi Brown products from some family friends. I've always wanted to try Bobbi Brown and never have, so I was really happy when I opened these! I'll most likely have a review coming in the new year. I got some lovely clothes bits too which I can't wait to wear, and of course lots of chocolate goodies! I can't wait to wear my pretty rings that my Mum bought me, and I'm also looking forward to reading the books I received.
Thanks so much to my family and friends for my lovely presents - I had a great Christmas!

Seeing as Christmas is nearly here, I thought it was about time I shared my Christmas wishlist with you all. I didn't ask for anything much this year - just odd bits here and there - so this is just an idea of what I hope to get!
The only thing I know for sure that I'm getting is this bag from New Look, which I chose myself. I was in need of a new bag, and I wanted something a little different, so I thought the burgundy colour on this one was a nice change. Next are a couple of things which weren't on my list, but I will most likely be buying them as presents to myself! First up is this gorgeous pair of boots - I love the heel on them and also the textured material that they're made of. I've also been eyeing up this cute beanie with a faux fur pom pom, which would be perfect for winter.
I always like to ask for nail polish, as you can never have too much! I thought this gift set from Essie was cute, and I also wanted the colour Bahama Mama. Lastly, I like to ask for some Lush bits in my stocking, as I don't get to buy them for myself very often and it's nice to have some bath bombs to use during winter. I particularly liked the look of their Christmas Yog Nog soap, which supposedly smells amazing!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas yesterday! I spent the day at home as I usually do, spending time with my family, opening presents and watching lots of Christmas specials on TV! As you all loved seeing what presents I received last year, I thought I'd show you again this year too! I'm in now way bragging or showing off, I just find it really fun to see what other people get so hopefully you do too. The presents shown above are all from my family, but I also got some great gifts from friends as well which I'd opened before Christmas.
I received some really amazing presents, including a MAC quad palette with 4 eyeshadows from my parents, which I can't wait to use (and blog about). Some of my other favourites were the perfumes, jewellery and the bath bits from Lush. I also can't wait to read Allegiant, as I love the Divergent series! One present I wasn't expecting was the ukulele I received from my godmother - it's such a quirky and cute gift and one I can't wait to use!
On the whole, I had a great Christmas, and thank you to everyone who bought me any gifts - I loved everything.
What did you get for Christmas?
