The Body Shop Flutter & Flick Eye Makeup Gift

I have an incredible collection of gift guides coming up with The Body Shop and having already shared the three seasonal fragrance collections on my blog, today is one for the makeup lover in your life with the Flutter & Flick Eye Makeup Gift (£20).

Packaged inside the most beautiful festive box you will find three products - Happy Go Lash Mascara, Smoky Eye Definer Pencil and then the Camomile Cleansing Butter, which as a trio is so cute.

The Happy Go Lash Mascara is described as being a black, everyday mascara which works to thicken and define the lashes, whilst being gentle. 

Made with 93% ingredients of natural origin, the mascara is enriched with 93% ingredients of natural origin, including organic beeswax and Community Fair Trade organic virgin coconut oil, so not only is at as easy to remove as it is to apply, the ingredients also look after your lashes too.  What I like about this mascara is that it gives a natural look.  I have fairly long eyelashes, so anything with a formula that is too wet leaves my lashes looking dreadful.  The wand is also fairly easy to work with too, the bristles are fairly soft and thick and move between the lashes easily.

Eyeliner is something I don't go out of my way to purchase as I can live without it, but this Smoky Eye Definer Pencil is one I have really liked. It is available in black or brown and within this kit, it is the black shade.

It is incredible soft on the waterline and easy to glide along without pulling the delicate skin, plus as the pencil has a smudger on one end, if you want that more dramatic look, there is plenty of time to apply and then smudge, it isn't any eyeliner that doesn't budge before you have your chance. 

Finally we have the Camomile Cleansing Butter which I am a huge fan of already and within this Makeup Gift, it is a smaller tin, perfect for your makeup bag!

If you haven't come across this Cleansing Butter before, you need to grab some. It has one of the softest textures I've ever used and it is designed to not only only be kind to your skin, but to also gently melt away your makeup, which it does in just a few seconds of being on your skin and I always use mine in conjunction with the Body Shop Muslin Cloths, which at £2.50 are amazing value for money.

The Body Shop Flutter & Flick Eye Makeup Gift is an incredible kit for just £20 and perfect for finding under the Christmas Tree as a Stocking Filler

Emma Hardie Christmas Gifts

Without question, one of my favourite brands is Emma Hardie.  Having tried pretty much every single product the brand has to offer, including being treated to the most luxurious and relaxing facial that I have ever had, at Christmas time, as a brand, I feel Emma Hardie excels themselves.

This year I am sharing two products that fit into the stocking filler category and are suitable for Stocking Filler category and both products are £20 and under.  I have shared quite a few stocking filler guides so far this year and I absolutely love them, I feel you often get better value for money.

The first product is the Merrily Moringa Bauble, which at £12 is amazing value for money. Whether you are as big as a fan as I am of the brand or whether it is a brand you want to get to know, then this gift bauble is an amazing place to start.

Inside, you will find two products, the first one, which will need no introduction is the Moringa Cleansing Balm.  A balm that is very much a cult product, its iconic and nearly everyone I know has tried it at some stage in their life. It is often described as being as being a purifying botanical cleansing balm and its job is to removes all traces of face and eye make-up, deeply cleanse the pores whilst at the same time to also be balancing, hydrating and moisturising for all skin types.  It is packed with an impressive list of ingredients which includes

• Grape Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil rich in essential fatty acids help to plump and soften
• Moringa seed extract, Wild Sea Fennel and Vitamin E balance, purify and help to minimise the appearance of open pores
• Essential oils of Orange, Neroli and Mandarin rejuvenate and revitalise the skin whilst calming the senses
• Jasmine and Rose help to recondition dull, dry, dehydrated and mature skins

For me, what makes this balm just so beautiful is how it feels on the skin.  From not being over oily and greasy, even when it emulsifies when it comes into contact with water, it is soft, it is smooth and the scent is just incredible and I am so delighted it is now also available in many other forms - especially a candle.

Also within this bauble is a cleansing cloth is a dual sided cloth and on one side of the cloth is a gentle microfibre material for deep cleansing and removal whereas the other side is a muslin cloth for polishing the skin.

The second product within this guide is the Moringa Skin Indulgence and this is a cracker (£20) and it is also an amazing gift to give.

Inside this cracker you will find the following products:

15ml Moringa Cleansing Balm - Again as mentioned above, this is one of the most delightful cleansing balms I have ever used.

Mini Dual Action Cleansing Cloth - Also above, this cloth has been my go to cloth for many years and I am so glad that they can be bought separately. 

15ml Midas Touch Revitalising Cream - (review here) This is one of my favourite creams because it has the most luxurious texture which not only absorbs incredibly quickly into the skin but it does without leaving behind any trace. This cream is formulated with hyaluronic acid to banish signs of fatigue and stress as well as to hydrate and plump the skin. Other ingredients include a powerful blend of marine and botanical extracts such as antioxidant edelweiss stem cells which work to condition and tone while brightening properties are delivered by natural polymatrix algae film extract. Also found within this cream are the natural oils of Moringa, Primrose and Rosehip which work together to moisturise, nourish and soothe and it smells just incredible.

12ml Moringa Light Cleansing Gel - (full review here) This is a lighter version than the Moringa Balm, but it still packs a punch. It is formulated with essential oils which includes moringa and sweet almond and they help to remove dirt, impurities and oil without stripping the skin and leaving it feeling in need of moisture. Added to those oils we have omega-6 and vitamin E which together help to moisturise and soften the skin. Then finally there is the inclusion of sea fennel extract and moringa seed peptides. What you get is a cleanser that not only helps strengthen the skin’s natural defences but one which leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, sooth, moisturised and hydrated. Perfect for that morning cleanse.

As you can see, I have been really impressed with both of these products and their contents and I think they are such a good way to showcase some of the best that Emma Hardie is known for, whether you have tried products from the brand or not.

Skincare by Steamcream

I remember when Steamcream first came to the U.K. and everyone had a tin of the wonder cream and they even launched their own Christmas Crackers too. Then the brand disappeared from the blogs and social media, but now they’re back!

Steamcream believes skincare should be simple and ingredients chosen with the ultimate aim of rebalancing, protecting and moisturising your skin. To that end, they very carefully select only natural ingredients that can be trusted, using simple formulations to maximise the ingredients’ performance. 

Steamcream is handmade in small batches in Japan using a unique Steam Emulsification Manufacturing Method. How the products are made is just as important as what is put in to them, and using high-temperature steam allows the brand to minimise the amount of emulsifier used. This method also means that they can deliver the ultimate goodness from natural ingredients directly to your skin. This manufacturing method can only be done by hand, so we can only manufacture small batches at a time. This innovative Pure Steam Process makes the cream extremely lightweight, providing effective, long-lasting hydration 365 days of the year.

So what do you use Steamcream for?

Steamcream is a face cream, a luxurious body cream and even a hand cream which has been designed to deliver moisture directly to the skin. 

It is formulated using natural skin-softening ingredients such as ground oats (colloidal oatmeal) which are are rich in amino acids with highly moisturising properties alongside the likes of almond oil and jojoba oil which have fatty acids similar to sebum, cocoa butter which is rich in oleic acid and finally Lavender, Neroli, Chamomile and Rose essential oils.

The cream is incredibly lightweight on the skin and it smells as Wdelightful as you would expect given those oils above, for those who aren’t too keen on the scent of Lavender shouldn’t worry too much because it isn’t the most dominant scent, though it is detectable. 

The tin that I have is called Winter Delight and the picture depicts a family wearing their Christmas jumpers hanging baubles making it look really festive. 

Priced at £13.95, not only is Steamcream vegan, cruelty free and made without harsh chemicals, the tin within which your cream is stored is not only fully recyclable but also reusable. My original Steamcream tin houses my fuses for my kettle, microwave etc… the perfect size without taking up too much space.

The Body Shop Hand and Body Gift Sets

I did mention that I had a whole lot of gift sets to share from The Body Shop and they will be featured in different priced bundles, but there is something for every budget. Today it is Stocking Fillers for the Hands and Body.

The first gift set is the Feels & Festivity Hand Cream Trio (£15) and then we also have the Creamy & Christmassy Body Butter Trio (£15).

This Feels & Festivity Hand Cream Trio  Christmas gift set comes with three gorgeously scented Hand Creams with Kindness & Pears, Love & Plums and finally Joy & Jasmine, of which make up The Body Shop seasonal fragrances that I have shared. 

Kindness & Pears is enriched with pear extract and has a wonderfully sweet scent. Then with Love & Plums which is enriched with plum extract as again, as a fragrance it is exactly as you expect it to smell and finally, for those who are more of a fan of the floral scents you have Joy & Jasmine, and it is enriched with jasmine extract and my favourite of the three.

The advice to use these hand creams is to squeeze a small dollop of the cream into your palm and massage into skin and nails to leave them feeling smoother, softer and hydrated with 48hr moisture. Each of these hand creams is also Vegan.

Then with the Creamy & Christmassy Body Butter Trio, we have three tubs of body butter which match the scents of the hand creams above.

Once again, these body creams are Vegan and they are made with 96% ingredients of natural origin and this includes Community Fair Trade shea butter and then Cocoa Butter, both of which leave the skin feeling loved, softened and nourished with the promise of 96hr moisture.

Again, as with the hand creams above, we have Kindness & Pears which is enriched with pear extract as well as the vibrant and fruity notes of juicy pear, strawberry and warm tonka bean which really give it that feel good fragrance. Then with Love & Plums which is enriched with plum extract and alongside that we have those rich, bright, fruity-floral notes of plum sorbet, peony and finally comforting musk which again gives this cream a lovely luxe formula which melts onto the skin. Then once again, my favourite of the three is Joy & Jasmine which is enriched with jasmine extract which gives it a lovely floral scent it added to which we have the fresh, light floral notes of orange flower, rose and sensual jasmine and it is the longest lasting scent of the three and it’s just delightful.

At just £15 each, both of these gift sets make amazing stocking fillers and could even be a delightful Secret Santa gift too.

Christmas Gift Guide with Temple Spa

If you haven’t seen my unboxing of the Temple Spa Advent Calendar then you are really missing out because it is amazing! 

As a fan of a brand that brings me any excuse for time out, a pamper and a way to relax and unwind, I am sharing with you some amazing gifts from their Christmas collection across a range of budgets.

Beauty Baubles - This year Temple Spa has two beauty baubles within its range, each priced at £15. We have Bright and Beautiful and Polished to Perfection, both giving an insight into the makeup side of the brand.

Bright and Beautiful, which is a burgundy coloured bauble with yellowy gold detail features the Instant Glam Highlighter. 

This liquid highlighter is perfect for the festive season and ideal for applying to the cheeks, browbone, around temples, your collarbones or Cupid’s bow. It’s key ingredient, Sodium hylaluronate is known for its strong moisturising properties, it helps to attract and retain moisture.

Polished to Perfection, which is a green and gold bauble features two of Temple Spa’s nail polishes in the perfect shades for this season - Cassis which is a beautiful blackcurrant shade and then Palermo which is. Sparkling Gold and they work amazingly well together or on their own.

The Temple Spa Polish has a unique resin complex base which is made with 68% naturally derived and ethically-sourced materials that makes the polish air and water-vapour permeable so it lets your nails breathe keeping them healthy and in good condition. The best part for me os how quickly the polish dries after being applied!

Up next week have the My Essence Wind Me Down Restoring Body Duo (£55) which is described as being a Mediterranean fine fragrance & bathing oil duo.  Inside the box are two products, the first one is the My Essence EDT, which I have shared on my blog earlier this year.  If you like those zesty uplifting scents, this is one of those and it is just delightful as the notes of bergamot and petitgrain mix with jasmine, neroli & rose absolute.

The second product in the box is another new offering and it is the My Essence Tri-Colour Bath Oil.  Anyone who knows me, will know I absolutely love being in the bath and anything that helps me to wind down, de-stress and enter a state of calm is a product I absolutely need.  Again using the name notes as the fragrance above, as soon as the oil comes into contact with the water, the notes come to life and it is so much more potent than the fragrance to start with and as it swirls around in the water the Jasmine and Neroli come into their own.  Again there is also the inclusion of both Amber and Cedarwood which you get a hint of as everything begins to settle.

If you love candles, Temple Spa have created some incredible offerings and for Christmas we have the aptly named Celebrate Life Candle (£35).

Everything about this candle from the outer box packaging to the beautiful silver glass glass it is presented in, is just stunning and before it is even out of the box, there is a whole host of citrus, floral and spicy notes to great you. One thing Temple Spa does very very well is to bring to life a mixture of fragrances and within this candle we have the likes of Bergamot, Black Pepper, Jasmine, pine needles and Cedarwood which come together and is described as being a festive Mediterranean breeze and it has sucked me right in, I love it.

Then finally we have the Time To Glow Top To Toe Radiance Gift Set (£55). Unfortunately this set has proven to be so popular that it has sold out, but the contents of it are so good, and available separately that I am still sharing it.

Inside this gift set is four products which are tasked with revealing refreshed, healthy-looking skin! 

Contents

• Most Revealing (50ml) - Perfect for skin which is in need of some TLC, this is a wonderful oxygenating bubble peel uses an amazing list of ingredients which includes vitamin C, glycolic, malic, lactic, citric and hydroxy acids. I have a full review of Most Revealing here on my blog.
• Glowcolic (50ml) - I have a full review of this product on my blog. This is an exfoliating toner with natural glycolic acid that smooths, nourishes and balances your skin’s complexion. It features Glycolic Acid, Mandelic Acid and Lactic Acid which come together to make an incredible trio of exfoliators without stripping the skin of its moisture, but then with the addition of Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C which come together to protect, renew and revive, you get one powerful product. I featured Glowcolic on my blog a few months ago.
• Smooth Talk (15g) - This Lip Scrub is described as using a blend of shea butter, avocado, sunflower and grapeseed oil plus crystallised sugar which work together  to gently polish dry, chapped lips leaving them super smooth and soft
• Sugar Buff Fresh (85g) - This is a delightful product to use and one which is described as being a juicy sugar exfoliator with an incredible grapefruit fragrance which works to invigorate and energise. The Sugar Buff Fresh has this delightful texture that works to remove dry and dead skin cells as it also encourages cell renewal to give that soft to the touch skin which also has a healthy glow.

Plus a lovely bright orange headband to really give you that feeling of being at the spa, whilst being at home.

So there is my Temple Spa Gift Guide for 2021 and I hope it has given you some gifting ideas, an insight into the brand and a reason why I think it is a delight to have in and around the home, be it a fragrance you wear, an oil in the bath, a bit of highlighter or a lit candle.  Temple Spa is a hugely popular brand and not only can you find them on sale in a store like Harrods, which is quite a coup!

You can find all these gift sets and a whole lot more with Temple Spa

Gifting with Jurlique + Giveway and Offer

Jurlique is such an amazing brand, one that I was introduced to many years ago, long before I entered into the world of blogging and it is one that I still adore now. Jurlique was founded by Jurgen and Ulrike Klein, a German couple who migrated to Australia armed with their natural expertise – his as a biochemist, hers as a botanist – and a vision to create the purest skin care on earth. What I love is that all of the ingredients used within the Jurlique products are grown on a farm and hand picked for each item, they are also free from synthetic chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and insecticides. The story behind the brand is totally fascinating and if you would like to read it, you can do so here.

With both Black Friday and Christmas now galloping towards everyone at speed and with so many offers to be had, I thought I would share a little guide to Jurlique this Christmas and if you head over to my Instagram account, there is a giveaway which is offering three of you the chance to win a gift set of your choice!

Mini Hand Treats (£27) - This collection features a selection of Jurlique's signature hand cream's which have a rich, luxurious formula designed to re-balance dryness and restore smoothness.

Suitable for all skin types, these hand creams are nourishing without being oily of greasy and they have the freshest of scents, whether you choose the Rose or the Lavender option.  

Then we have a second hand cream gift set with the Hand Care Quartet (£72) and  this set features the Rose Hand Cream, refreshing Citrus Hand Cream, soothing Lavender Hand Cream and my personal favourite, the Jasmine hand cream.

The next gift set is the Mini Travel Duo (£40) -  luxurious hand cream with the uplifting natural scent of Rose, paired with our hydrating and refreshing Rosewater Balancing Mist.

I have been a fan of the Rosewater Balancing Mist for years and I always have a bottle sitting on my desk in my office because it is refreshing, smells incredible and it soothes, rejuvenates, and hydrates whilst being on the go. The Rose hand cream speak for itself, rich, luxurious and incredibly moisturising.

I have already mentioned just how much I adore the Rosewater Balancing Mist and the next gift set I am sharing is the Hydrating Mist Trio (£65).

Inside this gift set, alongside the Rosewater Mist we also have the Lavender Hydrating Mist which is said to be a calming mist for instant hydration and the Sweet Violet and Grapefruit Mist which is the only one I am yet to try from the range and it is said to be an uplifting mist which also gives instant hydration.

Up next we have The Essential Face Trio (£82) This collection features three of Jurlique's essential face products which work together to kickstart your skincare ritual.

Starting with the Activating Water Essence+ which has the job of hydrating your skin by activating your skin’s ability to retain moisture and if you suffer from dryness, this Essence is quite something. Then we have the Rosewater Balancing Mist which provides instant hydration and supports moisture balance and then we have Moisture Plus Rare Rose Cream which delivers intense hydration throughout the day.

If you love the scent of fresh roses, then the Rose Softening and Moisturising Gift Set (£87) features a trio of incredible products which work really well together.

Starting with the softening Rose shower gel, which I am using currently, it has a soap-free formula that hydrates while cleansing. Made with the natural ingredients of honey, organic aloe vera and liquorice extract, it also helps to re-balance dry skin to restore moisture levels. Suitable for all skin types.  To compliment the shower gel the next product is the Rose softening body lotion and alongside that fresh but subtle scent of rose is  a formula which is enriched with the likes of macadamia and avocado oils which nourish the skin while protecting it, and what I really like about this particular body lotion is that as well as absorbing quickly, it has a non-greasy formula and it has a pump dispenser! The third and final product within this gift set is the Rose hand cream and again, as above, this hand cream is rich, it is luxurious, it nourishes and moisturiser as well as softens.

Then we have the final gift set, the Herbal Recovery Gift Set (£124) and it is described as being a trio of essentials to hydrate and re-energise dull, tired looking skin.

The trio within this gift set is the Activating Water Essence+ which not only hydrates your skin by activating your skin’s ability to retain moisture but it also prepares the skin for better absorption of moisturisers and serums.  Then we have the Herbal Recovery Signature Serum, this is a lightweight gel serum which is designed to revitalise radiance as well as to help reduce the appearance of dullness and within the ingredients list you will find the likes of Yarrow Extract, Red Clover Extract and Viola Tricolour Extracts which are quite the formidable trio when it comes to hyrdation, moisturising and protection of the skin. Then finally, also from the Herbal Recovery range is the Signature Eye Serum and its job, other than to help the appearance of ageing is to minimise puffiness and dark circles. As a serum it is really lightweight and as it is something you are applying around the eye contour, the last thing you would want is an extra thick serum and with this a little goes a long way. I have a little applicator that I use with my eye creams and serums which is really relaxing and it works well with this one.

The competition to win one of these sets will be over on my Instagram, so please make sure you enter!

In the meantime, if you want to grab yourself some amazing savings, I have a special offer with Jurlique which you can find right here and not only does it give you early access to that sale but also the savings will be so good!

Onaie Sheepskin Slippers

ONAIE is London based, female founded, independent online slippers shop. Created by Eve and Justine, two sisters who are paying homage to their heritage. They offer a wide range of stylish handmade women's and men's sheepskin slippers, ladies slip on mules, kids and baby slippers and vegan slippers and I was kindly sent some to try and my gosh, they are the comfiest slippers I have ever worn!

Around the house, I am 99% of the time in bare feet, I cannot stand the feeling of socks on carpet, it is one of those feelings that sends me cold to the bone, just horrendous and whilst I have owned pairs of slippers, I have never owned anything as luxurious as these.  Lovingly made by a team of highly skilled craftswomen in the Polish Highlands, these slippers are ethically manufactured and Onanie works side by side with its suppliers to ensure that there is an ongoing ethical, social and environmental compliance. As you can see, sustainability is at the heart of the brand and alongside slippers, there is a whole catalogue of products, I've got my eye on one of the Wool Gilets which are just stunning.

I know a few people won't see the fascination with slippers and we can all go and purchase a paid for less than £10 on the high street which won't last a few months. Onaie Sheepskin slippers are completely unique, have a specially moulded sole, so they can be worn in the evening and all day without any discomfort, which for me right now is important, especially on the days when I work from home with my ankle injury, for me comfort takes presidence over everything. These slippers have also made from the finest by-product of sheepskin and soft lambswool available on the market.

The first pair of Onaie Slippers I have are the Star Sheepskin Slippers (£39), the first pair I was drawn too when choosing my pair. The ladies slippers do start in a UK size 3 up to a a size 9, though thankfully I sit right in the middle with a size 6 foot.

Each pair of slippers made for the Onaie brand takes around an hour and because of the materials used, which in this case is leather for the soles of natural cow split leather lined with natural wool from sheep's fleece, fur and leather on the sides, also of natural sheepskin.  They are have a light blue colouring with golden stars embroidered into the pattern and when wearing them, it is heaven, so lightweight, warm and comfortable.

The second pair of Onaie Slippers are the Snow Sheep Skin Slippers (£39) and again, I am a UK size 6 and they fit absolutely perfectly on my feet.

This time, the main body of the slipper is a beautiful beige/natural shade and as with the slippers detailed above, these also feature leather for the soles of natural cow split leather lined with natural wool from sheep's fleece, fur and leather on the sides, also of natural sheepskin.  On the body of the slippers is a a delicate snowflake pattern, embroidered using different coloured yarn to create the affect.

As well as full slippers, there is also a choice of mules, slipper boots, Wool Slippers, Felt Slippers and a whole lot more choice, not forgetting the list of accessories which ranges from Gilets and Gloves to rugs and socks.
