Christmas with Weleda

When I say the brand Weleda, the product that more than possibly springs to mind is Skin Food, a fantastic product and one I have used on many occasions. If you have never heard of Weleda before here is a little background. Weleda’s goal is to maintain, enhance and restore the health of people. What started in 1921 as a pharmaceutical laboratory, with its own medicinal plant garden, is today a world-leading manufacturer of holistic natural cosmetics as well as pharmaceuticals for anthroposophical therapy. With products that are intended to support people in their personal development, in maintaining, promoting and restoring their health and in their efforts to achieve physical well-being and a balanced lifestyle.

This Christmas, Weleda have put together some fantastic gift sets and today I am sharing a few of them with you, they are still available too!

Weleda Sea Buckthorn Gift Set - Nestled inside its own cute duffle bag with drawstring tie is Weledas Seabuckthorn Creamy Body Wash, Replenishing Body lotion and shower puff.

This set is really beautifully scented with an organic blend of orange, mandarin, and grapefruit oils which are used to revitalise, soothe and protect the skin and they work alonside mallow extract and shea butter within the body lotion to soothe, moisturise and nourish the skin, making it particularly good for dry skin.

 Priced at £22.50 right here.

The large Arnica Gift Tube contains a stimulating freshness in a light, transparent gel

Take a surge of energy into the shower - and enjoy the unique scent of rosemary and lavender to get you back to full bloom after exercise. 

Priced at just £7.95 it makes a lovely gift.

The Three Drawer Gift Set plays host to what can only be described as a plethora of indulgent skincare products which is beautifully presented and organised into three varying drawers. 

Drawer One boasts five rich body washes, designed to uplift the spirits, whilst the second drawer contains five sensuous body lotions, which deliver hydration and nourishment to skin. The final draw is home to five luxurious body oils, guaranteeing to keep skin soft and super smooth.

Smith and Cult Nail Polishes

A brand that seemed to explode over my social media of late is Smith and Cult. Created by beauty veteran Dineh Mohajer, the voice of our beauty junkie, who revolutionized the color cosmetics industry when she launched Hard Candy. Several years and creative collaborations later, Mohajer is bringing about the next evolution of beauty with Smith & Cult.

Smith & Cult’s Nailed Lacquer consistently delivers both flawlessly smooth coverage and brilliant shine.  Split into four sections you have base, top coat, colour and glitter to choose from and it is custom tailored to provide high performance, the exclusive 8-Free formula is formulated without Dibutyl Phthalate, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, Camphor, Xylene, Ethyl Tosylamide or Triphenyl Phosphate.

These polishes scream luxury and at £19 each they need to. Encased in a heavy duty glass bottle with a really weight lid, the brush being short and fat - my ideal nail polish brush admittedly.  The lid is also designed in such a way that there is a grove or indent if you prefer to make gripping the brush much easier.
I got my two polishes - Tenderoni and Dirty Baby from John Lewis who have a huge selection of colours to choose from. I chose Tenderoni because it is a really pretty Opaque Taupe Brown and it stood out on the shelf. 

Its description is as follows: "‘He’s like a white hipster version of Ice-T in his original version of 99 Problems’ is the inspiration behind ‘Tenderoni’ – a flattering, opaque taupe brown. Completely irresistible, Smith & Cult’s to-die-for Nail Lacquers are not only swoon-inducingly good looking, they also star impressive staying power. With a broad, flattened brush for easy, even application, this pigment-rich shade is opaque with one coat – perfect for achieving an enviable, streak-free manicure in minutes".

Then standing next to it on the shelf was Dirty Baby which admittedly did make me snigger because of the name but the glitter caught my attention. It has ultra-fine silver glitter suspended in a stunning, obsidian base, which in this case is jet black.

Its description is as follows: "With ultra-fine silver glitter suspended in a stunning, obsidian base, ‘Dirty Baby’ strikes the perfect balance between edge and elegance. Completely irresistible, Smith & Cult’s to-die-for Nail Lacquers are not only swoon-inducingly good looking, they also star impressive staying power. With a broad, flattened brush for easy, even application, each pigment-rich shade is opaque with one coat – perfect for achieving an enviable, streak-free manicure in minutes"

I am so incredibly impressed with these nail polishes that I am eager to check out the rest of the range which includes Lip Stains, Eyeliners, Eye Shadow Quads (totally stunning), Mascara, Lip Lacquers and much more.  There are many shades to choose from within each product line and the packaging is just absolutely beautiful, the kind you want to spend hours polishing rather than getting your grubby fingerprints on.

Have you tried the Smith & Cult range?
