Besides peace on Earth etc, there are many more unobtainable things I would like this Christmas so I thought it would be fun to put together a little fantasy wish list of shamelessly indulgent and completely unrealistic goodies.
Behold!:
- Anything that smells edible/ festive by Philosophy.
Philosophy has been my favourite bathing brand for years. I'm a sucker for beauty products with gourmand-esque scents, and Philosophy just do it so well!
 |
| I can't walk past this in Boots without giving it a sniff! Philosophy Old Fashioned Eggnog Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath - 14 gbp at Boots |
 |
| warming + scrub + gingerbread fragrance = Awesome. 26 gbp (part of a set including gingerbread man shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath) from QVC UK |
 |
| Melting Marshmallow including shower gel, body lotion & lip shine. 22 gbp from Boots. I don't think I need to explain my reasoning for adding this. :) |
- Flowerbomb has been my favourite perfume for years, but everyone I know hates it so much they refuse to buy it for me! This is Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Extreme Eau De Parfum - an amplified version of the sickly sweet original. Pleeeeeeease Santa?!?
 |
| 67.50 gbp for 50ml at Boots |
- Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Honey Bath. I've owned this before and I'm pretty sure my bathroom needs it again. One of the loveliest bathing products ever in my opinion.
 |
31 gbp at Liberty and other department stores
|
- Essence of John Galliano candle by Diptyque - a compelling oriental blend of white incense, bay leaves, rosewood and 'burnt leather'. I know Galliano isn't exactly in the good books at the moment but this candle is beyond indulgent.
- Some goodies from MAC - including my most coveted lipstick, Ruby Woo.
 |
| Cleanse Off Oil. 7 gbp. I've heard good things about this and would love to make my own judgement. |
 |
| Lipstick in Ruby Woo. 13.50 gbp. I blog about beauty - I need this. Please. :) |
 |
| Strobe Cream. 12 gbp. A little luminosity would be most welcome this Christmas. |
- Tigi Bed Head Candy Fixations styling products. I'm happiest when my hair smells good and apparently these products are beautifully scented. If I don't find one (or all) of these under the tree, I'll be clicking over to Feel Unique for a sweet fix.
Left to Right: Sugar Dust micro-texture root powder, 9.35 gbp, Totally Baked volumizing & prepping hair meringue, 10.65 gbp, Sugar Shock hair bodyfying sugar spray, 10.00 gbp.
And finally, (though I could go on):
- The Luxury Essentials by Creme De La Mer. Decadence personified really...
So there you have it, a depressingly expensive selection of my most lusted after Christmas treats. Who knows, maybe one of them might make it into my stocking this year :o
P.S. sorry about the repetitive use of gbp (great british pounds). I'm using an Australian laptop tonight so therefore don't have a pound symbol on my keyboard!
