Welcome to this year's Christmas Gifts Guide.

Adverbs of degree

Now, a lot of you ask me for tips, whether it's for your friend or family member who really loves vintage

and people are asking you what to get you and you just don't know.

So here are six of my absolute favourite things

that I think will be great gifts this year.

Start with a disclaimer: None of these items are sponsored;

however, some of them have been gifted to me

and sent so I can try them out and see what I think.

So I'm very much just sharing with you my own honest thoughts.

We're going to begin with one of my absolute favourite companies!

If you follow me on Instagram - which...obviously, you should -

you will know that I wear Bésame lipstick SO MUCH.

using--either recreating historical formulas

using modern techniques, because let's be honest: we don't wanna put lead on our faces any more.

And they also have this tie-in with Disney

so they will do different collections based on various Disney properties.

So, Bésame Cosmetics have sent me complementary pieces

of the Snow White and Mermaid Lagoon series

so I can try them out and tell you what I think.

So if you're perhaps gifting to someone who doesn't live near you

and you're getting the things sent directly to them,

you know it'll be lovely when it arrives.

Now, I made a Bésame review video before,

just talking about the different products and how they work for me; the different formulas.

I think we did lipsticks, face powder, and mascara.

Put the link to that video down below and in the card above,

and I talked about different application techniques as well

for vintage make-up, because it is slightly different to how we do things today.

that tells you all about the specific collection that you are receiving.

Bésame worked with Disney's Ink and Paint Department

to find [inaudible] and concept art that spoke to the independent and strong-willed nature of the mermaid.

So the colours are actually taken from the film itself.

I'm going to begin, however, with Snow White.

And one of my favourite things about them is that they're a very versatile present.

It does not matter whether your friend has got hair down to her bum

there is something that they will be able to do with a scarf.

Oh! I have a video about scarfs. I forgot about that.

I have a video about things you can do with scarfs in a vintage way.

Next up, we have the Snow White's Pies, which are a variety of lip balms.

And one thing that's so great about Bésame

that I really love is that it makes your little dressing table look delightful.

The packaging - dear Lord, the packaging.

We've then got three lipsticks from the Snow White collection

The three colours I've got are Snow White Red, Love's First Kiss, and One Bite.

This is the Treasures of the Lagoon Shadow Palette.

These are all colours that are taken from the film itself

and they're really bright and vibrant, as you're about to see.

It shows you exactly where each of the colours have come from.

Inside we have a mirror and a little powder pat.

And to match the Pearl Powder is this Golden Sand Bronzer

Again, beautifully, beautifully waved inside.

The non-Bésame make-up that I have always just lives in a drawer.

The Bésame make-up gets to live on the top.

Now, these lipsticks, they are part of the 1953 collection,

but I would say they're not necessarily lipsticks that you would wear day-to-day in 1953.

The three colours we've got are Mermaid Kiss;

Waterlily Blossom Red; and Starfish Pink.

So, the Mermaid Lagoon collection is I think a bit more "out there"

With the Snow White, you can still get a very kind of authentic vintage look

but it's, you know, not really stepping outside the boundaries of what people think of as vintage

But that's my favourite look. That's my every-day, go-to look.

Whereas the Mermaid Lagoon, I would say, is--we've got the colours; we have the sparkle.

So it's really just that Bésame are stepping out there and really hitting all the different markets in terms of

But if you have a friend who is just straight vintage.
