After a wild ride of a year (thanks Covid-19), Christmas and the holiday season is only weeks away. This means that shopping for gifts is coming up fast and it can be tricky to know what to get espeically if you need to shop online. So to hopefully save you some time and money, I've put together my picks for Christmas this year!

Double or Nothing Zoom Shadow Stick Duo

I love the Zoom Shadow Sticks so much. They're so creamy to apply and stay put all day. They come in a range of fabulous colours and are perfect for day or night wear. They are normally $18 each so at $29 for two, it's a great deal!

MCoBeauty The Beauty Edit Pout Gloss & Lip Liner Set in Tickle*

If you're on a budget, this lip set is a perfect gift to buy for any beauty lover! The set includes a lip liner in shade 'Universal' and Pout Gloss in 'Tickle'. The lip liner was very creamy and pigmented and the gloss applied like a dream too! It reminds me a lot of the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb, both in packaging and formula. Available from MCoBeauty and Woolworths for $18.

Now I know it's coming into summer here in Aus but I bought an Oodie a few months ago and I have worn it non-stop! If you haven't heard of them before, an Oodie is basically a giant super soft hoodie with a fluffy sherpa lining. It's beyond comfortable, so warm and comes in lots of different prints. The arms have a ribbed cuff which is great because it means that the arms don't get in the way. Available from Oodie directly for $109 (they often have sales or coupon codes!).

I was already a fan of silk pillowcases but boy oh boy this is the nicest one I've ever tried. It's made of 100% Mulberry Silk (22 Momme, the highest 6A grade) and infused with anti-bacterial silver ions. What makes this particular pillowcase so special is that the silver ions help to reduce acne, clogged pores and ingestion all while you sleep! It also helps to smooth hair and prevent frizziness, boost the skin's collagen and prevent wrinkles. Is there anything that it can't do?! Available from Silvi directly for $89.

I have been a long-time admirer of Mejury Jewellery and for my birthday recently I was treated to the Silver Croissant Dome Ring. It is even more gorgeous than it looks online and I'm already adding more pieces to my wishlist! They have a great range of necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets in gold vermeil, sterling silver and 14k gold and white gold. They are also having a sale right now so if you have a piece or two in your wishlist, now is the perfect time to treat yourself!
