Christmas gifts!!!!

 I know it has been a little while since Christmas, but I have been super busy recently with school stuff and that's it really (just had a moment when I thought I was going to have a really interesting, long list of cool stuff I have been up to. But when it came to it, I'm just a really boring person. Yay!) Plus I knew this would include loads of photos and I could not be bothered to sit and wait for them to load. Anyhow, I have finally got round to it. This is also not a definitive list, because I got given some late Christmas presents, which I didn't take photos of (I took them in a spare moment on Christmas day), so I might list them at the end, or might not, I'll see how I feel when I get there.

This is a really cute candle that my friend Amy bought me, along with other things like socks and a lint bear, on of the big ones. Anyhow, it looks like a cupcake when you put the lid on and the candle itself smells of strawberries. I have used it all already because I have been really into candles lately.

 This is the M&S face palette, which I think my Mum got me, or Father Christmas as she writes on all the tags. As you can see it includes a variety of different eye shadows, blusher/bronzer things and lip colours (which I have yet to use). I have already used a number of the eye shadows, especially the neutral colours. It also comes with 5 brushes/applicators, which are alright, but the blusher brush is really too small to use for its purpose. The mirror is a really nice size and I now use it when I do all my make-up.

These are false eyelashes, as you can see. They are the really cheap ones from Primark, obviously from the photo you can see they were £1. I doubt that they are particularly good in comparison with some of the more expensive ones you can get, but I have used some of their other lashes and they were good enough for what I need them for. I might do a post where I show you what they are like I on.

This is a perfume my Nan got me from Zara. She got me 'White' from Zara a few years ago and I really liked it, so she ended up getting me another one from there. This time she bought 'Oriental', which I really like, it is quite sweet and comes in a really big square bottle.

These are obviously socks. My parents bought me these from Primark and even though they are Christmas socks, I will probably wear them all year round because they are really comfy and as you can see from the 'feel me' sticker, they have really soft sections that feel really nice.

Underwear. I always seem to get underwear and socks for Christmas. I don't know why, but there you go. These are really nice. Sorry they aren't arranged very nicely in the photo because there was one of those plastic-joining-tag-things in an awkward place.

This is a present from one of the people whose hair my Mum does (she's a Nanny/Hairdresser) which is really nice of them, even though I don't really see them that often, they still get my sisters and I Christmas presents and birthday cards, so sweet. Well, this is an Impulse and BarryM combination, which is a bit weird, but  fine by me. I'm not really an impulse person so this might end up in my sisters' room, but the lip gloss is really nice. It has a really good shimmer and tastes really good. 

More Underwear. Very similar to the previous but slightly different pattern and colour. 

This is a really cute skater skirt I was given from River Island. Not sure who this was from, either my Nan or Mother. I know some people don't trust their Mum or Nan to buy them clothes, but mine are both brilliant in picking things out which I will like. Love them for it!

Knowing I was getting the skirt from one of them, the other bought a matching colour cardigan. I'm really into long knitted cardigans during the Autumn/Winter months, so this was really good to get. This was a Primark purchase I believe.

This is a really nice, floaty, knee length, zebra print dress, which is really see through so I also was given navy blue leggings and long-sleeve top to wear underneath, though that was a few weeks before Christmas, causing major confusion .

This is a beautiful simple white dress with embellished cuffs. Though it is really see through and kind of clings to any areas standing out, to put it nicely. So I am yet to find something to wear underneath.

My beautiful Jack Wills coat. Interesting colour, I know, but I love it anyway. it has really handy things which button on to the belt so you don't lose it and it doesn't move. 

Another Jack Wills gift, this time, Shorts. A kind of green denim. Not usually what I would go for, but again nice. I tend to prefer Jack Wills to places like Hollister and Abercrombie and Fitch (hope I spelt them right, my spell check just came up with Cholesterol and Aberrational...helpful ). This is mainly because I think I am more of a classic British dresser (e.g tweed, cordroy etc) and these are a bit more Americanized, since that is where they originated. I do have some Hollister things, so I'm not saying I picket them or anything, I just prefer Jack Wills.

I got this box of 2 mugs and 3 sachets of different hot chocolates from a friend from school. The types of hot chocolate were: Chocolate with Vanilla, Chocolate with  Peppermint and Double Chocolate. The first one was not that great, but then  didn't use the mugs they came with, which I think you are supposed to because it ensures the correct water:powder ratio. The second one I tried was the double chocolate, which was much better because I actually used one of the mugs provided. I have yet to try the peppermint one, I think it could be an interesting experience. 

This is my amazing 2-piece onesie (not sure how you would go about spelling it). The problem I have with all in one onesies is that I am too tall, so my toes get all cramped up at the ends of the feet and if I get a bigger size, it is too big on the rest of my body. Anyone else have this problem? So my parent found me this. I is basically just fluffy pajamas with a hood and feet with non-slip pads on. Though I couldn't actually sleep in it because I would get way too hot, so it is more of a lounge outfit.

This technically was not a Christmas present, as I received it in November in preparation for Christmas, but I just had to share how cool it is. It is the BEST Christmas jumper ever!!! I got so many comments on it, even a guy who worked in Costa commented on it.

A heart shaped hot water bottle. The bottle itself is actually heart shaped too, so that is cool. It isn't very big, which in some cases is really useful and in others not so.

These are some boots, evidently. They do have lases on the front, but there is also a zip down the inside, so you don't actually have to undo all the lacing to get in and out, which is soooo useful. My previous ankle boot died a long and painful death, as I wore them until the sole literally fell off, literally. They were only Primark though, so you can't expect too much from them. These are trusty Clarke's so they should last me a good long while, especially as they are really thick and clunky.

We are coming to the end of my list, thank God. This is the massive load of chocolate I received and I got more after this photo was taken. I got a jar of fruit pastilles like this last year as well and managed to eat them within 2 weeks of Christmas.

I almost forgot this, which is why it is last. As you may know I recently cut all my hair off (I did a post called The Chop) and since then I have using my Mother's round brush to blow dry the ends of my hair under, so she bought me my own so I don't steal hers anymore.

I also received a phone (Samsung Galaxy Ace), hat and scarf, mustache lip balm which is so funny and probably numerous other things which I have forgotten to mention.

Thank you for getting this far if you have, I hope you found it interesting.
