WEDDING GIFTS

Hello my lovelies! So it's Sunday the 6th July, and the wedding is in 4 days, and I only have 1 day left at work! Jason and I always wanted to get each other gifts; I bought him some Aqua Di Parma aftershave and honeymoon travel stuff. He loved it! Jason decided to go completely over board and buy me more beauty items than I could ever want! He knows me well and has been incredibly generous.... a lot of these products are my first from that brand, to start a collection, or items I have been coveting for an age.

On top of all of these amazing presents, he is taking me on my dream holiday to the Maldives. Kuramathi island resort! I will definitely do a blog post on it as it's seriously paradise. This time next week we will be there- eek!

All my gorgeous gifts!  I really couldn't wish for a better fiancé.....he knows me too well!

First of all, I have to show you these incredible MAC eye shadow palettes. Firstly, the big 15 shade one is called the MAC 'COOL NEUTRAL'- perfect if you have green or blue eyes, like me. The purple colours make your eyes POP. This isn't 15 selected colours which I find takes an age to achieve, but a fixed palette! It's amazing value so I think they sold out pretty quick. If you were to buy all the colours and the case separately, I think it would be about 3 times the price of this one. The fifteen cool shades are: Flounce, Sweet Allure, Sun Tweaked, Blackberry, After Dusk, Pick Me Up, Crushed Clove, Cozy Grey, Deception, Brun, Silver Fog, French Clay, Cumulus, Pearled Earth and Black Tied. The highly pigmented powder formula applies evenly, blends and builds beautifully. I am so ridiculously excited to use this!

The smaller 4 shade palette is a selected one. You buy the x4 eye shadow quad (x2 and x15 also available), and select any shade you desire for £10 instead of £12.50. These are called 'pro palette refill pans'. I wanted a palette that had a 4 colour warm but natural tone to it, so when I travel, I can take this one product as opposed to 4 singular eye shadows (my makeup bag is always bursting open). My little perfect 4 shade gift has: Vanilla, Embark, Quarry and Sable. On top of this the lid is magnetic so it doesn't fling open in your bag. So cute!

I also got this amazing Jo Malone perfume! I have been wanting this for ages and I decided on it as my wedding perfume a while back...it mixes my two favourite scents together: rose and vanilla. Jo Malone can sell anything to anyone on her gorgeous packaging itself! This is my first Jo Malone product and I can tell you I am certainly excited to collect more.

Next are a few Laura Mercier treats! These are my first Laura Mercier products but I have been wanting these for ages, so I think he got the hint! I wanted these as they are perfect items for bridal makeup. I wanted something to touch up my oily t-zone with throughout the day, without looking to cakey or over layered. This translucent shine control setting powder is the perfect product for this. It completely mattes the skin without making you look like you have to much foundation or powder on! The Laura Mercier fan brush is the perfect applicator for this powder as it simply dusts very lightly over your skin!

 I am so so excited to finally have this little baby! I've had the sleek contour palette which is only about £6 and just has a highlighter and contour colour in...however I hated the contour colour as it as really dark and didn't blend. So it didn't save any space in my makeup bag as I only wanted the highlighter! However, his urbandecay NAKED FLUSHED palette has 3 different powders in, and I love all of them, so it's certainly another space saver. The contour colour is the perfect matte natural shade, and the consistency of all the powders is so light it makes it really easy to blend them into one another.

Finally, and saving the best till last, he got me something I have been wanting for about 5 years; a tan Mulberry purse. Seriously look at that! How is it possible for a purse to look so stylish? I cannot express how happy this gift make me. Now I just had another 5 years to persuade him to get me the matching bag!

I hope you enjoyed seeing all my beauty wedding gifts. It's safe to say i'm a very happy girl right now. You probably won't hear from me now until after the honeymoon! I am back from the Maldives on the 27th and can't wait to share some pictures!

Lots of love, Morgan Alice x
