THE ONLY THING I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS + MY DECEMBER BIRTHDAY: A RING LIGHT

Hey Beauties! :D 

This year I would go makeup crazy for Christmas, but I've learn't that I don't have to have all the makeup that is made in the world. I end up not using half of the products and they just take up space in my room. 

So this year all I want for Christmas and my birthday combined is a ring light. I've been wanting one for ages, I just haven't been able to afford one. I've bought 2 huge soft box lights from eBay which were about $50.00 and I thought they would do the trick. However, my room is too small for the distance I need to have them not blinding me. Which is why I thought a ring light would be perfect. You can dim the lights and it's portable. Plus most bloggers use them for their YouTube videos. 

So there have been a few ring lights I've been looking at, based on user reviews and price. I've listed the ring lights below from the most expensive to the least expensive. I've copied and pasted the descriptions DIRECTLY from the website.
