1 Day to Xmas: Random

I don't know about you, but I always get Christmas presents in the last minute. Sometimes I can't find anything good, and I will just end up giving out goodie bags. I will personalize each bag and it will contain some random knickknack. Or I will put things that the person actually need. I once put a makeup bag full of makeup for one girl starting college. She got hooked on makeup since.
So here's an example of random goodies.

I reuse a beauty box and filled it in with basically anything and everything. I wanted to put in some chocolates and sweets but I forgot to include that.
I like getting candles, they are nice. Ikea has some candles. They smell good when you put them close to your nose, but other than that it is not that good. The popular one in Singapore will be Yankee candles. I absolutely love their mix berry scent. This one is Yankee Candle in Christmas Cookie. It smells define like Creme brûlée and frosting. Candles are not cheap, so it makes a great present on its own.

I also throw in Manicare eyelash curler and fake lashes. It's just something people don't really think about. Especially those really fun fake lashes. It's just fun to get something you don't normally buy for yourself but will love to try them out. Like paperlashes and lip tattoo.

Small perfumes are good too. Not those tiny spray but an actual miniature perfume. I adore the Incanto series and this one is a mix feelings for me. Incanto Bloom Salvatore Ferragamo is quite lovely, but a rather weak perfume. It's floral and sweet. A hint of rose and tea, but it's not very strong. People said it smells like freesia, but I don't know how freesia smell like. I prefer fruity scent of Incanto, but I adore this packaging the most.
You can also get them a travelo, that will be useful. Qoo10 has some cheap one, but I find that after a few uses, it will leak.

Throw in some of your favorite things like Maybelline Color Tattoo. It's harder to give someone lipstick as they might not like the color or it may not suit them. I find eyeshadows are more forgivable. Or maybe even a lip balm of two, you can never have enough of them.

I also throw in a cotton bud container from Watsons. I just love the plain acrylic container. It's just so simple and chic. Again this is random but pretty useful right?

I really feel anything goes.

Expensive chocolate is especially nice for people with a sweet tooth. You don't buy pricey chocolate for yourself on normal days, so getting one is nice.
Wine or champagne if visiting someone house.
Soft toys or cute pillows for someone younger.
Popcorn and cookies seem to be selling quite well. I'm talking about Garrett and Amos.
Or simple get the girls beauty box subscription. Hustle free.

Merry Christmas.

Givenchy Le Rose Perfecto Lip Balm

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty. 

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla

Christmas set right here. Love the scent. It's like a perfume vanilla. Not like vanilla extract but still quite good. I don't know, there is just something about it that makes me like it. So this set comes with 3 item. The shower puff, gel and lotion.  Silky Lotion is quite a watery lotion. I so used to squeeze bottle from TBS that this feels weird. The plastic is harder, so can't really clamp between my fingers. But the lotion flow out nicely. It's liquid-like and easy to apply. Sometime it feels like pour out to much. I guess also cause the opening is quite big. Blends into the skin and absorb quickly. Doesn't makes the skin feels sticky. Really good. Really love. Shower Gel is also very watery. It's like a thick syrup. But easy to flow out of the bottle. It lathers quite well. But I find that with shower gels is that it is better to use with a loofah. A bit of goes a long way. It will foam up, makes lathering so much more fun and easier. I guess you can alway...
