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.

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.
