Hello lovelies!

In today's post, I'd like to show you a few sweet bits that I got from my long time, youtube friend Sophie Louise. She's been my #01 supporter since the day I started and she's always there for me with her lovely comments and sweet gifts.

She lives in the UK and works for New Look, so she decided to send me a "little" gift box around holiday season. Of course, I gathered a few bits for her too and I hope she'll enjoy her present as much as I enjoyed mine!

I used to live in London and I liked shopping at New Look. They always had the latest trends at very affordable prices. I remember my hubby buying me a nice pair of gold sandals at New Look for my 24th birthday! I still have them, 10 years later! So, even if sometimes high street brands are considered to sell things that will only last you one season, that's not always the case. If you take a proper care of your things, they may last you for years to come! 

I was very excited when I received her package! I was actually in the middle of filming when the postman rang my door! So I decided in the spur of the moment, I'm going to film an unboxing video! So here you'll see all my first impressions and genuine reaction to her lovely gifts :-)

Among fashion bits, there were also some beauty items, such as goodies from Zoella's beauty line and Make Up Revolution eyeshadow palette (gorgeous neutrals).

Sophie Louise also has her youtube channel, so if you want to show her some love, you can go here

After a longer pause, she just recently started uploading videos again, so she needs our support to see that we love watching her videos and that she should keep making them! :-)

It's not easy to make real friendships on youtube, as this community can be quite superficial and a lot of people are just interested of taking some sort of benefit from others who have built a bigger audience...but it's nice when you meet a genuine person who supports you from the day 1.

People who comment on my videos and are truly interested in the content I'm making, can always make me smile and brighten up my day!

Have you made an online friend in this beauty community that is always there for you and with whom you like to exchange beauty & fashion tips with?
