Christmas Gift Sets with Caudalie

My love of Caudalie started when I was introduced to the Divine Oil, a multi-purpose oil which I still use even now.  This Christmas Caudalie have a whole host of gifts for every budget and today I am going to be sharing some of them with you.  

Beauty Elixir Bauble (£12 here) - This has been one of my favourite finds of 2017 and featured it here on my blog. Inspired by Queen Isabelle of Hungary’s elixir of youth, this powerful plant based facial mist smoothes away fine lines, tightens pores and gives the complexion an instant boost of radiance.

Described as being a Caudalie cult product which is favoured by make-up artists, beauty junkies and celebrities, this Elixir has a whole host of uses which include:

• Using as a toner in the morning.
• Ideal for moisturising your complexion sponges.
• Right after applying your foundation, as a makeup-setter.
• Spray on your chest and neck to instantly soothe and refresh.
• Spritz for a pick-me-up and to tighten pores.
• Store in your refrigerator for the ultimate cooling mist.
• Spritz on your pillow, for sweet dreams.
• On a plane to quench dehydrated skin.
• After a workout, to calm redness.
• Sprayed in a room, it creates a sensual aroma for relaxation. 
• After make-up removal, to brighten and purify the complexion.

I love this special edition bottle with the gold detailing and think it is quite fitting to celebrate the 20th anniversary. Once spritzed this Elixir fills the air with notes of benzoin, myrrh, orange, blossom, grape and rose, all of which work to give your complexion a rosy glow. Add to that astringent rosemary and the stimulating essence of lemon balm and mint and the scent is really quite incredible and it is of course really gentle on the skin.

Trio French Kiss (£20 here) - Beautifully packaged inside this triangle box are the brand new French Kiss Lip Balms, I did a full review of them here, but inside the box you will find:

• French Kiss Innocence - Natural pink (7.5g)
• French Kiss Séduction - Delicious pink (7.5g)
• French Kiss Addiction - Raspberry red (7.5g)

The three lip balms melt onto your lips to hydrate and protect whilst leaving a subtle hint of colour.

Innocence, which is best described as being pretty clear in shade when applied but it smells divine as it is lightly infused with the scent of vanilla and orange peel, next comes Seduction which has a pale pink tint and also the scent of Vanilla with Addiction being on the right, it has a lovely berry tint to it and a red berry scent too

Makeup Artist Secrets (£32 here) - This is an incredible gift set which is perfect if you cannot decide which product you really want to try the most from those mentioned within this post because it contains both of them.

Inside you will find the collector’s edition Beauty Elixir bottle which I have mentioned above and French Kiss addiction Lip Balm. TheBeauty Elixir is 100ml and as above is packaged inside the limited edition packaging which really makes it stand out and for me, the gold etchings make it perfect for Christmas. Alongside the Beauty Elixir is Addiction, the French Kiss Lip Balm, which again is mentioned above. When applied it leaves a subtle hint of colour to your lips whilst at the same time both moisturising and hydrating.

Alongside these three offerings from Caudalie are a whole host of others which you can find here and within the gift sets you will find everything from Stocking Filler Crackers which are priced at £10 to a delectable looking Spa at home gift set and much more besides.

Are you a fan of Caudalie?

Winter Essentials from Tropic Skincare

Tropic Skincare is a brand which has products which are Vegan and Cruelty-free and within their range have everything from Skincare and Bodycare to Makeup.  I have featured quite a few products from the range on my blog to date (here, here and here) and today I am sharing the Winter Essentials and they are literally incredible.

Featuring two new products - So Sleepy Pillow Mist and Whipped Body Velvet, two products which are designed to make you smile, feel good about yourself and are generally products which do what they state they will. 

Whipped Body Velvet - If you love body butters then you will love this. It is an incredibly rich yet lightweight butter which just absorbs rapidly into the skin soothing and smoothing as it goes.  I think it is quite honestly, one of the quickest absorbing body butters I have ever tried and in saying that, it takes little or no effort to use because you don't have to wait around waiting for it to disappear into the skin, instead it works with your body's own temperature.

Formulated with exotic rarabe butter (Tropic are the first to use this ingredient in the UK) to lock in moisture, it works alongside the naturally scenting the buttermelt which has a beautifully warm caramel aroma with a lovely hint of Madagascan Vanilla. It is also rich in omega 3, 6 and 9 oil thanks to the inclusion of the superfood baobab which in turn also works to condition and deeply moisturise the skin.

Top Tip for application from Tropic is to apply this directly to the skin after showering or bathing because the skin's pores are still open and it, therefore, maximises the moisturising of the Buttermelt.  You can find Whipped Body Velvet here for just £28.

So Sleepy Pillow Mist - I love a good Sleep Mist and again have used quite a few during the last few years, more so when insomnia comes knocking.  From Tropic Skincare comes So Sleepy which is described as being 'the ultimate bedside companion for an easy, restful night's beauty sleep'.

In using a blend of essential oils from eucalyptus, rose geranium, frankincense, chamomile, rosewood and rosemary alongside sleep-inducing lavender, not only does this Pillow Mist smell just delightful and it is also really relaxing. 

These essential oils have been specifically chosen because in turn they all have calming, stress-relieving properties, to help relax the mind, so perfect for those of us with a busy lifestyle because it helps you to unwind and relax in the evening. However, So Sleep does differ from many of the Pillow Mists I have used because it isn't just designed for those who need to relax, calm down or drift off to sleep because it also promotes a deeper, more restful sleep so everyone can enjoy that energised feeling come morning. 

To use you simply need just three spritzes of this mist over your pillow and it is more than enough to help you naturally fall into a deep sleep. Priced at £20 you can find So Sleepy Pillow Mist here.

Tropic Skin Care are certified Cruelty Free, Vegan Society Approved and their mission has always been to create natural, cruelty free products that will genuinely benefit the skin. With no toxic chemicals and instead just using nutritious ingredients you re treated to luxurious, pampering products that always stay true to their ethos.

Essentialle Facial Oils

As a huge convert to facial oils, a product I never thought I would be able to use because I have combination skin, they are something I absolutely love to use. Essentialle which is described as being a luxe, entirely natural skincare range that has been masterfully curated to enhance the skin’s overall health, texture and tone. Made in Britain, the products are meticulously designed to care for all skin concerns, containing exquisite as well as surprising plant-actives from around the world. Whilst nourishing, nurturing and rejuvenating, the products also imbue sheer sensorial joy and sublime aromatic pleasure.

There are three oils in the collection - Revival Nectar, Remedy Multi-Active and Elasticity Boost and over the past few months I have been trying them out to see what they are like and I have to admit, I am impressed and one of them stands out above all others. 

The first Oil I tried was the Remedy Multi-Active Re-balancing Oil (£62) and it is formulated with oily and problem skin.  As my skin is best described as being combination skin and leads towards the oily side, I figured this would be a good oil to start with.  

What I love about it is how light it feels on the skin, it is moisturising but non-greasy and it is said to 'offer a gentle cocoon that purifies, calms and corrects, to reveal a clear, fresh and healthy complexion'. Using the ingredients of:

• Plantago leaf extract purifies, comforts and tones the skin
• Manuka & lavender oils work to neutralise bacteria and normalise sebum secretion
• Galbanum oil decongests the skin and encourages healthy cell regeneration
• Rose absolute extract has a cleansing effect and minimises irritation or redness
• Chamomile flower oil instantly calms and helps to deflect free-radicals
• Apricot oil restores skin clarity and suppleness
• Calendula extract boosts collagen, repairs and soothes
• Coconut oil effectively moisturises and protects the skin’s barrier

What I love about this oil is that you can apply it to your entire face, from which you need just 2-3 drops or you can apply it just to those problem areas, depending on your issue and your preference.  What I love about this scent is that it has an earthy tone to it, a scent I associate with having a facial and being relaxed.

The second oil is the Reviving Nectar Nourishing Facial Oil (£70) and it was formulated with dry and lack-lustre skin in mind. Described as being a 'restorative and beautifully aromatic oil which delivers a penetrating treatment that rehydrates and plumps, to reveal a rejuvenated, radiant and youthful complexion' it is hard not to love it. 

Again it has a non-greasy formula, which is something I always feared with my skin type and the addition of an oil.  Using the ingredients of:

• Pomegranate seed oil supports skin renewal and fortifies the skin’s fabric
• Rose geranium oil soothes and conditions, to restore skin harmony
• Siberian ginseng extract nourishes, firms and softens fine lines
• Gingko biloba extract replenishes and brightens the skin
• Rosehip fruit oil boosts cell regeneration and strengthens skin’s elasticity Vitamin e visibly smooths the appearance of wrinkles
• Avocado oil deeply moisturises, nourishes and conditions
• Linden blossom flower extract works to bind precious skin moisture
• Patchouli leaf oil regulates the skin and stimulates skin cell rejuvenation
• Mandarin peel oil protects the skin from environmental stresses

You need possibly one more drop of this oil than the previous one but my gosh does it smell incredible. Again you apply to the face and massage using circular motions.  What I like about this oil is the Rosehip scent which comes with it, it reminds me of being in a spa having a facial.

The Third and final oil from this collection is the Elasticity Boost Toning Facial Oil (£65) and it is described as being an 'ultra-conditioning oil to strengthen, repair and tone dehydrated or sagging skin' and it is packed with a powerhouse of actives that hydrate, strengthen and repair, to reveal a defined, plumped and firm complexion. 

Using ingredients such as:

• Meadowfoam seed oil accelerates suppleness and resilience
• Abyssinian seed oil moisturises and enhances skin lustre
• Radish seed oil nourishes from within to improve barrier function
• Echium plantagineum seed oil combats crepeyness, fine lines and wrinkles
• Shea butter intensely nourishes and conditions the skin
• May chang oil re-energises the skin and senses
• Olive oil protects against daily aggressors, regenerates and softens
• Safflower seed oil diminishes dryness and locks in valuable skin moisture
• Sweet orange oil invigorates and boosts collagen production
• Camelina seed oil improves skin hydration and elasticity

Again with this oil, you need just 3-4 drops of the oil to massage into the skin and unlike the other two oils, this one can be used for reducing stretch marks and uneven skin tone, to do this you simply massage the oil into the affected areas twice daily, using circular motions.  Again this oil smells just incredible and the sweet orange oil is the dominant scent.

For me, each one of these oils is totally different to one another and I have enjoyed using each and every one of them, but for me the stand out oil is the Remedy Multi-Active Re-balancing Oil because it does exactly what it claims it is going to do and as someone with combination/oily skin, I like using something I know is designed for my skin type.  It is also worth nothing that these oils are 100% natural, free from parabens, mineral oils, microbeads, silicones, sulphates, artificial colours and fragrances.

If any of these oils really take your fancy then you will be pleased to know that the Black Friday deal lasts until Wednesday 29th November where you can grab yourself 30% off by entering the code BLACKFRIDAY30 at the check out!

YourGoodSkin by Boots

There has been a lot of hype on blogs and in print media about Your Good Skin ad if you havent heard about it, I am not too sure where you have been. hailing from Boots, it is their first skincare line for 15 years and it has has been developed with the help of Boots customers, cosmetic scientists and dermatologists.  Across the range there are Concentrates, Moisturisers, Cleansers, Scrubs, a Face Mask, Toners, Base Products and products for being on the go. 

I was kindly sent three products from the range which I have been using for quite some time now and they are what I am sharing within this post.  Like most people, I love trying new products, especially ones which, like Your Good Skin, are designed to restore, maintain and support the skins natural balance.

The first product I have been using is the hero product, the one everyone has been talking about and the one which has been referred to as 'flying off the shelves' and it is the Balancing Skin Concentrate (£16.99).  Described as being a unique and lightweight concentrate, the Balancing Skin Concentrate is clinically proven to improve the five key signs of visibly healthy skin: skin texture, skin tone evenness, moisture levels, radiance and oiliness.  Designed to target the signs of skin imbalance, it aims to deliver hydrated healthy-looking skin in just 28 days.

To use it, all you need to do is dispense just two pumps into the palm of your hand and massage onto and into the skin, two pumps is more than enough and because it is so lightweight, not only does a little go a long way, less is more on this occasion and it absorbs really quickly and you should use it twice a day. I really like how this feels on the skin and simply love everything about from the packaging which comes with a handy little guide so you can see how long you have been using it and how much you have to left, to how my skins feel after application and how it looks.  It literally is as soon as it claims to be.

The second product is The Nourishing Hot Cloth Cleanser (£8.99). Described as being indulgent and nourishing the creamy cleanser works to remove makeup, dirt, grime and anything else that might be lurking on your skin.  Using the pure cotton clothes which are included in the box, they work to gently polish the skin, gently scrubbing away dead skin cells so that your complexion looks refreshed, radiant and healthly.

On the skin this hot cloth cleanser is smooth, soothing and as described it is definitely creamy. What I really love is how it doesn't leave my skin feeling dry and stripped afterwards. Using ingredients such as Green Tea, Vitamin C and Bisabolol ( essential oil from German Chamomile) used for it's healing and anti inflammatory properties, it is suitable for even sensitive skin types.

The final product is the Anti-Oxidant Day Cream with SPF30. If you like your creams to be lightweight and silky smooth then you will love this and it has SPF30 which gets a massive thumbs up from me.  Described as being a light fluid formula which slip slides over the skin, this hydrating cream will leave the skin soft and protected from UV Damage.

I have been applying this cream after using the concentrate daily and I haven't had one single breakout, my skin hasn't reacted but what I have noticed is that my skin not only looks smoother, it feels smoother to the touch, it is definitely hydrated. Priced at just £7.99 it is an absolute bargain to be had.

I have been blown away by how amazing these three products are and they have left me wanting to try even more products from the range. The best part of all of this? It is currently on offer right now in Boots, so grab it quick HERE

It's Skin Mini Bebe Hand Cream

If there is one thing I am slightly obsessed with, it is hand cream and I apply it very very regularly throughout the day.  To that end, I am slowly but surely working my way through a few different K-Beauty hand creams and they are just as amazing as I was expecting them to be.  If you read my blog regularly then you will know that I am also obsessed with K-Beauty.

It's Skin Mini Bebe Hand Cream is described as being a sweet treat for hands and it is every bit as sweet as the packaging is cute. With a slight Cherry Blossom scent to it, the cream is incredibly hydrating and luxurious. With its non-greasy formula this hand cream is full of amazingly good skin care loving ingredients such as the hydrating and softening plant extracts of cherry blossom, papaya and aloe which work alongside nourishing honey and milk.  One the skin it absorbs on contact and leaves the skin loving scented and incredibly soft and smooth.

Priced at just £5 from BeautyMart it is the perfect hand cream for having in your hand bag so you can use it on the go.

I would love to know if you have tried this hand cream or want too!

Christmas Pyjama's Wishlist + Traditions

I love reading about people's Christmas traditions, everyone I know has their own tradition or 'thing' that they do - be it opening one gift at midnight, not eating Christmas Dinner until after The Queen has spoken or even creating a Christmas Eve box for the kids.  

image credit

For me, I do have traditions in lieu of Children but ones I have quite possibly, without realising continued to do into adulthood that I did as a child.  I always watch Santa Claus The Movie on Christmas Day morning, it is usually on at 7am on a random channel and no matter where it is on, I am watching it before I get out of bed.  Breakfast is always scrambled egg with salmon, I eat this most weekends but I also have it on Christmas morning.  The one thing I do before doing any of these is to buy a brand new set of Pyjamas and they have to be Christmas themed.  This year I have been on the look out for a good few weeks and admittedly the choice is currently rather rubbish, but I have managed to find some I like and here they are:

I absolutely love Disney and haven't long been back from a week at Disneyland Paris On my wishlist there are three options for Disney themed pyjamas which come from high street stores.  Ultimately for me this year it is the Supermarkets who are winning the war when it comes to Christmas Pyjamas. Having spent a good few hours on one of London's busiest streets yesterday, I found just two pairs of pyjamas I would wear or would want to wear that are Christmas themed.

Mickey & Minnie Mouse Christmas Pyjama Gift Set £16 from Matalan and it features Mickey and Minnie Mouse with the slogan of Kiss Me Under the Mistletoe.

I think everyone has seen ELF and the OMG Santa! I know him.  From Dorothy Perkins they are priced at £25 and have cuffed pyjama bottoms and are made from super soft cotton.

I used to collect Tatty Teddies in my teens and still have loads and loads of then hanging around.  These pyjamas are from Asda and are priced at just £15.  I like the long sleeve top option and the snowflake design bottoms are crafted in a soft fleece.

Minnie Mouse is featuring again in pyjama set number four and again from Matalan this time there is a motif, which reads 'If it’s Snowing I’m Not Going' and that pretty much sums up how I feel about snow! Priced at just £15  and my current favourite set.

Finally and staying with the Disney theme are the 'Disney Crew' pyjamas and they are in Asda for just £15.. Featuring Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto and Goofy they are my second favourite option.

So there are my options this year for Christmas pyjamas and as soon as mine are purchased, you will be seeing them on my Instagram so keep your eyes peeled for updates.

Do you have any Christmas Traditions?

My Foreo Family + Black Friday Offerings

I have for years now been a huge fan of the Foreo brand and have used quite a lot of their products, so I thought a post about what I use, when and where I use and why I love them as a brand so much would be quite intriguing.

Foreo is a Sweden based product and their aim is to empower you and brighten your life. Every product they release has a bold or bright colour and they rely on the feedback of people like you and I to constantly improve their designs. Whether you have dry skin, oily skin, combination skin or none of the above, there is a device for you. Here are some of mine:

Foreo Luna Mini - I reviewed this Luna Mini here and still to this day have this device in my bathroom and use it on a daily basis. Having had it for two years, what impressed me a lot is that in that whole time, I have charged the device twice, it lasts forever. 

The 'brush' for want of a better description is actually small silicone nodules which feel soft to the touch. It is those nodules which gently massage and cleanse the skin but they are two sided with one side used for regular cleansing and the other for that much needed deeper clean. On the top of the brush are small nodules which are really helpful in getting into the smaller crevices of the face such as around the nose to ensure every part can be reached. There are two different cleansing speeds, one is slightly more intense than the other but astonishingly each one uses up to 8,000 sonic pulses per minute, which sounds absolutely incredible and in all honestly it is.

Foreo Luna Mini 2 Limited Edition - I absolutely adore this Luna Mini and whilst I reviewed it here, it is the one device which comes with me when I go away for a long weekend or a week. 

Foreo partnered with GreenWave and SEA LIFE Trust for a second year to launch the LUNA mini 2 Save the Sea Special Edition facial cleansing brush. All of the net proceeds from the sale of this device will go to benefit ocean conservation efforts. This campaign will allow FOREO to continue support for initiatives such as the rehabilitation of endangered sea life and the building of restorative ocean farms to foster wildlife habitats.

I also have the original Luna Mini 2 in Pink and there have been some modifications to this one. Firstly the 3-zone face brush is now 50% larger and made with softer silicone, there are eight intensities to use from when cleaning your face but despite the changes it still uses the T-Sonic pulsations for cleansing.

Foreo Luna Go - If you travel a lot, go to festivals or have regular holidays and weekends away, then the Luna Go is designed just for you.

Like the rest of the Foreo family, it still has the soft silicone touch points, it uses T‑Sonic™ pulsations to remove 99.5% of dirt and oil, and lifts away makeup residue and dead skin cells that lead to clogged pores and it comes in 4 different models to suit different skincare needs.

Foreo Iris - The Iris is an eye massager which I reviewed here, but it is ultimately designed to make your eye cream work better by improving its absorption whilst at the same time reducing the appearance of puffiness and dark circles, whilst smoothening crow's feet, fine lines and wrinkles for revitalised eyes. 

It does all of this by using innovative Alternating T-Sonic™ technology which gives this device two different working motions. The first is a gentle 'Pure Mode' which is designed to replicate the feeling of a manual massage and the second is a 'Spa Mode', which combines tapping and delicate pulsations for a professional beauty treatment experience. 

Foreo ISSA Toothbrush - As much as I adore my Foreo family, this was the one device I was really unsure about.  It took me long enough to switch from a manual to an electric toothbrush, but this is something totally different.

Described as being a complete oral care solution, the Foreo ISSA combines Sonic Pulse Technology and has a revolutionary silicone design for a brushing experience unlike anything I have ever tried or experienced. Whilst brushing your teeth, a job this does exceptionally well, it also massages your gums with silicone bristles that are incredibly soft and ultra-hygienic. It is made of quick-drying, non-porous silicone that resists bacteria buildup, the ISSA electric toothbrush is ultra-hygienic, carrying up to 10,000x less bacteria than other toothbrushes with nylon bristles.  It is waterproof, lightweight and perfect for on the go because once it is charged it, like other Foreo devices, lasts forever.

Along side all of these devices is their very own skincare collection which includes a Day and Night Cleanser.

These cleansers are designed to perfectly complement LUNA™ devices, the day and Night Cleansers are customised to match the skin’s specific daytime and nighttime needs. The Day Cleanser uses Bergamot and Mandarin Extract which are rich in vitamin C and offers essential antioxidant and purifying properties that restore the skin’s radiance while toning and refreshing. As well as Apricot Seed Extract which nourishes and moisturises the skin. The Night Cleanser uses a peptide extract from Moringa seeds which works to facilitate the elimination of pollution particles and this alongside Sweet Almond which has properties to soothe, soften and deeply nourish the skin

As you can see there are no limits as to what a Foreo can do, whether for your skin, ageing and even your teeth. So if I have convinced you that you need a Foreo in your life from the 24th-29th November there will be offerings of up to 25% on some of the bestselling devices over at Foreo.com!
