Boots Christmas Loves 2012

So if you are following me on Instagram you may have seen my excitement at the weekend when my mum brought home the Boots Christmas catalogue! I dont know why but I get so excited for the Boots Christmas catalogue... its not that it makes me feel particularly christmassy (it is after all only October) but I love looking through what they are going to have...

Having a look through the catalogue there is some lovely stuff, I dont think this catalogue excites me as much as other years but there is some lovely stuff - In particularly there seem to be a lot of make up brush sets which is typical because my mum had loads of trouble finding an affordable make up brush set last year when I asked Santa for one.
So here are my top things which I am loving at first glance in this years Boots collection.

1. No 7 The Essential Accessory Case  - £35 - I have actually seen this in store and the size is deceptive online. I thought it may be big enough for holding all my makeup but is more of a Brush etc store. Comes with some accessories such as brushes.
2. 17 Lip Crayons - £10 - Set of 4 lip crayons in varying shades of pinks and nautrals
3. Soap and Glory Leap of Face - £20 - Contains  Peaches And Clean Deep Cleansing Milk, For Daily Youth 6-In-1 Moisture Lotion, Mighty Mouth Extreme Hydrating and Super Glossy Lip Balm - plus buffing mitt and headband. I love soap and glory products so this one is definitely on my Santa list.
4. Baylis and Harding Gingerbread Indulgence Box- £8 - Contains a Chocolate Chip Shower Crème, Sweet Gingerbread Body Wash, Vanilla Body Lotion. This caught my eye because of the Gingerbread body wash. They do lots of little sets with this in all under around £12. Some are as little as £4 and would be a lovely little present or stocking filler. 
5. Mark Hill Girls night in a bag - £22.00 - I had some Mark Hill a few years ago in one of the smaller sets for Christmas and liked it. This set contains Defrizz-ilicious Slick Chick De-Frizz Shampoo, Defrizz-ilicious Smoothly Does It De-Frizz Conditioner, Colour Hydration Bomb Intensive Treatment and Get Gorgeous No Knots! Detangling Spray as well as a comb and clips. 
6. Soap and Glory the best of all - £60 - If you have been following my blog from the start you will know how much I love this box. It contains lots of soap and glory favorites including the Hand Food, Sugar Scrub, Thick and Fast Mascara and the Sexy mother pucker lip gloss. It is usually on the offer of the week the week before christmas and I am always on the boots website at the crack of dawn on the Friday as soon as it is announced putting my order in. In 2010 i think the box was £20 and in 2011 it was £25 (i think) you save massively on the retail price. I have for the last 2 years brought 3 (me and mum got them between us) and stocked up on our favorite products for the year! 
7. No 7 Vanity Case - £45 - Lovely case containing some No7 makeup including 6 x Eye Shadows in various shades, Limited Edition Lip Gloss, Bronzing Duo, Mini Black Intense Volume Mascara nand some cosmetics brushes. I am eying this up for storing my make up in but the price is a little off putting (am hoping this will appear on offer of the week too) 

So those are my favorites from Boots. Obviously there is lots of break downs, Things for Men etc and between now and Christmas I am going to do a breakdown of my favorite things for different people. Also stay tuned for my favorites from other top stores - including Superdrugs :)
