*Christmas is Coming - Gift Ideas - Practical Gift Guide

*I received these products for free but the opinions are my own.

I don't know if it's my age, but I do like to receive practical gifts and these gifts are really useful items that I wouldn't mind receiving.

Christmas is Coming - Gift Ideas - Practical Gift Guide
Kikkerland Safe Slot Tech Pocket*. This universal phone pocket holds up to 3 cards and features soft touch lining, tech leather exterior and easily removable non-residue 3M adhesive. I don't know about you, but my handbag is usually crammed full of stuff, so rather than pull my purse out when I am buying things, it's usually far easier to pull out my phone and grab a card from this pocket, stuck on the back of my phone. I'm sure some people think that's crazy, when you can just use your phone to pay for things, but tech wise I am not quite there yet and prefer to use my credit card. You can buy this item here for £8.99.

Kikkerland Avocado Hot/Cold Pack*. This is freezable, non-toxic and reusable. To use as a cold pack, place the pack in the freezer for at least 1 hour, then remove and apply to the affected area. To use as a hot pad, place the pack in hot water for about 7 minutes (do not boil the water), then carefully remove from the water and apply to the affected area.  You can buy this item here for 5 euros (please note this is a European site so there may be additional charges).

Kikkerland Brass Clip Set*. This set includes a medium bag clip, an alligator clip and a cafe clip. I especially like the cafe clip as it has a scoop at one end which makes it doubly useful. You can buy the Brass Clip Set here for £15.

Finally, the Kikkerland Sofa Pocket*. This is a convenient felt pocket that you can attach to your sofa or even your bed and you can store remotes, books, magazines, glasses, or basically anything that you want to keep within reach when you are lounging on the sofa or in bed. There's nothing worse than having a lazy day at home and you want to change channels on the tv, but the remote is not in reach. Man if there is anything worse than that, then this lazy girl cannot think of anything right now. The Sofa Packet costs £23 and can be bought here.

I really found all these products useful and they make great little gifts as well.

Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

**Reposted as the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer is  currently reduced to £2.50 from £4.50. I picked up the Primark Vitamin Enriched Moisturising Primer because it looked like it was a dupe for the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. The Primark version costs £4.50 for 45ml and the Bobbi Brown Face Base costs £48.50 for 50ml, so there is quite a price difference.   I had always wanted to try out the Bobbi Brown product, so when I received a mini version in a gift with purchase goody bag I was really excited to try it out, but I have to say I was somewhat underwhelmed.  I have quite dry skin and the face base did not have as much slip as I was expecting, so it didn't feel smooth when I applied my foundation. For the price I was expecting to love it way more than I did. It does have a lovely lemon smell which I really enjoy, where as the Primark version doesn't really have a fragrance.  Overall, I actually preferred the Primark version as it is thicker and it ma

I have wanted to get an LED Mask for ages but with prices for some of them at over £400 I just haven't been able to pull the trigger and buy one yet. So when I saw the LED Light Mask in Primark for £15 I just had to try it out.  The Primark version targets 3 different skin concerns with 3 different types of light sources. Red Light - Use for Anti-Aging benefits by helping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Blue Light - Helps to remove acne causing bacteria and reduce skin  inflammation Yellow Light - Helps to improve rough skin, reduces appearance of wrinkles and skin redness To use you cleanse your face and apply soothing and hydrating products.  You can use with face cream, eye cream, facial mask, eye mask, essence, toner etc.  Press the button for 2 seconds to turn on and press again until the LED light that you want to use appears.  You then use it for 10-20 minutes.  It does advise that in case of sensitivity to use with your eyes closed.  After use switch

Aldi Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer Review - Bobbi Brown Dupe

-

I managed to get my hands on the newly released Lacura Vitabase Moisturising Primer from Aldi which is supposed to be a dupe of the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. It costs £5.99 for 50ml whereas the Bobbi Brown product costs £48.50 for 50ml. That's a big difference especially at times like these when every penny counts. The big question - is it any good? I actually really enjoyed using this primer. I have dry skin and this thick creamy primer really suited my skin. It contains vitamin c, vitamin b, vitamin e, shea butter, sodium hyaluronate & geranium oil and I found it very hydrating on my skin and it provided a great base for my makeup. My makeup stayed on all day and didn't go patchy or dry. It also has a fresh grapefruit and geranium scent which is really refreshing, but don't worry its not an overpowering smell. If you have dry skin I really recommend this product. It looks like its only available in store, so be quick as I'm not sure how long it will
