Since the festive season is currently in full swing I popped into McCormack's Pharmacy in Clonmel earlier this week to compile a list of a few of my favourite products that they stock in store and are on the top of my Christmas list this year. McCormack's stock a massive range of some of the most popular fragrances, beauty products, skincare products, hair care products such as Arman, Paco Rabanne, real techniques, Victoria secrets, SoSu by Suzanne Jackson, Cocoa Brown, Bellamianta and of course my favourite skincare range Uriage - that's only to name a few they stock loads more brands in their store just on the corner of Mary Street and Bolton Street in Clonmel its literally a one stop shop for all of your beauty/ healthcare needs.
I can assure you it was quite hard to whittle my list down to my top 10 as I literally love every single range that they stock in their store, but here is how I got on:
1.Estee Lauder Double Wear.
This is my absolute favourite occasion wear Foundation. I Have already mentioned this foundation in a previous blog post called "March Must Haves" where I go into further detail as to why its the perfect foundation to wear for special occasions. This product is definitely number 1 on my Christmas list this year and I'm so glad that It can now be purchased in McCormack's for €36 for a 30ml bottle but as the saying goes "Price is what you pay, value is what you get".
2.SOSU by Suzanne Jackson Gift Set.
In my eyes Suzanne Jackson Can do no wrong, no matter what it is that she does!
She has absolutely nailed each and every product that she has brought out on the market so far
Including this unique SoSu Gift Set which is every girls dream. The Gift set is made up of her fabulous vanity Case , the SOSU Contour palette 2 x SOSU Premium Lashes (Gigi & Sara) , 2 x SOSU Nail Polishes (Colour vary) and lastly a Bottle of SOSU Nail Polish Remover (Fragrance may vary). To be honest its an absolute bargain at €65 as the contents are worth €80.
3. Paco Rabanne Lady Million.
Anyone who knows me will know that this perfume is my FAVOURITE perfume In the world. I am completely obsessed with this fragrance, so of course it had to make the Must have list for Christmas just incase Santa is reading this blog post. As you can see in the picture this set is down from €96 down to €76 for both the bottle of perfume and body lotion. Oh and did I mention that If you keep reading you might even find a discount code which will even give you more money off.
4. Uriage Gift Sets
I cannot recommend this skin care brand enough and I have the staff at McCormack's pharmacy to thank for that,as they were the ones who introduced me to it a number of weeks ago. Ever
since I haven't looked back. I now use a wide range of Uriage Products and have noticed a massive difference, I use their Shower gel, body lotion, xemose Cream and my ultimate Fave product the Hyséac SOS Paste on a daily basis, but as you can see Uriage have put together these little starter kits for all types of skin and cost just €18.50 to be honest you really couldn't go wrong I'd be delighted to see one of these in my stocking on Christmas morning.
5.Flawless Eyeshadow & Highlighting Palettes.
Both of these Flawless Eyeshadow & Highlighting palettes are proving to be extremely popular this year and the reason for the palettes being so popular is pretty clear.First of all the Natural basics palette contains 10 beautiful eyeshadows and 4 fabulous highlighters and bronzers that will suit any skin tone. The ideal palette to use when creating a natural look. On the other hand the Smokey Eyeshadow & Highlighter Palette is the perfect palette to use when creating the Iconic Smokey look as it has more intense darker tones of Shadows. These Palettes are a bargain at €19.95.
6.Bellamianta Christmas Gift Set.
I am a massive tan fanatic, I always have some form of tan on me and lately I am absolutely loving Bellamianta tan, it applies really evenly to the skin but also wears off really well, you don't end up
looking like some sort of scaly fish like other tans result in. If you have someone in your life that you know is a tan Fanatic well then you know what to do! This gift set includes two full size products-Bellamianta Rapid Mousse and Luxury Tanning Mitt and also a handy travel size Self Tanning Tinted Lotion all for just €34.
7. Sanctuary Spa- Me Time Spa treats.
I can still remember the first time I was ever given my first Sanctuary spa gift set and I haven't looked back since. Sanctuary Spa products are so luxurious and all smell absolutely amazing! My favourite is the Body scrub as its extremely good to remove tan. So as you can imagine When I saw this cute little gift set I had to include it in my list. This specific collection contains:
Body Wash, Body Scrub, Body Butter, and Body Cream and only costs €12.95.
8.Victoria's Secret Body Mist's
No Matter where I go I will always carry one of these Body mists with me in my handbag for two reasons, number 1. They all smell absolutely amazing and 2. They are extremely reasonable at just €10.95. These Body mists are available in a number of different fragrances and In my opinion I think they would make the perfect stocking filler this Christmas for all of you lovely ladies- so get hinting.
9.Create Your own palette- PAESE cosmetics.
McCormack's now stock PAESE cosmetics and they have created a "Build your own palette system" which is pretty self explanatory, the small 3 panel palette is just €7.50 and the 8 panel palette is €15 and each insert is just €5. I honestly think this is a great idea as at least you are guaranteed to have a palette full of bronzers, blushers, and eyeshadows that will be definitely put to use. McCormack's also have a wide range of lipsticks, powders, nail varnish, and foundations from the PAESE range in store.
10.Build your own hamper.
Last on my list, Another Lovely idea for that special person in your life this Christmas. I just love the idea of giving someone a hamper full of all their favourite products and you can do so by popping into McCormack's pharmacy. All you have to do is pick out the products that you would like to be included in the hamper and the staff will put together the hamper for you, the great thing is you can pick the value of the hamper yourself no matter how big or small the amount you want to spend.
So there you have it, that's my Top 10 McCormack's Must haves for Christmas! Of course I could have included so much more but I would be writing for a week.
