Fragrance Gift Sets from Ghost

Like most people I love a new fragrance and over the last year, Ghost is a brand I have really got to know and love.  Within their fragrance range there is something for everything whether you like sweet, florals, fruity or even a mixture of scents.  This Christmas Ghost have got an array of gifts for every budget and here are some of them.
Fragrance Gift Sets from Ghost
What I do love about Ghost fragrances is their bottles. Each and every one of them is different and tells its own story which works alongside the scent.

First up is Ghost Sweetheart and it comes beautifully presented inside a peachy pink coloured box and accompanying the fragrance is a matching candle.  This is a first for me. I love candles and I like to choose them according to the season or my mood, but for a fragrance to release one to match a scent, I am loving the idea of.
Fragrance Gift Sets from Ghost
Ghost Sweetheart is described as being a very feminine and fresh, spontaneous and sweet, created to bring you closer to an image of real love. It is a mixture of gentle, sweet, innocent aromas, new love. The fragrance is a floral-oriental one, which elevates the spirit of contemporary, modern, young woman.  

It has top notes of Spearmint, Lemon and Pineapple, Heart notes of Rose, Jasmine, Heliotrope, Lily of the Valley and base notes of Sandalwood, Tonka bean, Vanilla, Vetiver, Oakmoss, Patchouli, Caramel.  Putting them all together you have an incredible long lasting scent, of which the candle is an identical match.

If you still haven't got you Secret Santa gift or are still looking for some Stocking Fillers then Ghost have some great options.  First up there is the Eclipse Tree Hanging Gift Set which comes with a 10ml bottle of the fragrance and a gold moon shaped keyring which is really cute.

The fragrance is described as being one which will awaken the senses and evoke a feeling of femininity. Eclipse, resonant of the light of the sun, evokes feelings of carefree abandon. Get lost in the moment and lift your spirits with this intoxicating and addictive fruity-floral fragrance.  With top notes of Bergamot, Marigold, Mixed fruits. Heart Notes of Lotus, Freesia, Rose and Base Notes of both Amber and Musk, it is an incredibly beautiful scent and one which lasts a really long time once applied.

The final gift in this little trio is another Stocking Filler Tree Bauble set and this time it contains a cute little 10ml bottle of fragrance and a stunning nude nail polish.
Fragrance Gift Sets from Ghost
The Fragrance which has top notes of lily, white rose and Indian ambrette seed are heightened with smoked incense, jasmine and sandalwood, while base notes of spiced amber, musk and vanilla orchid give a relaxed intimacy.  Of all the Ghost fragrances this one if my favourite, the scent of white rose being the dominant note for me makes it just stunning.

If any of these have taken your fancy then you can find all of these and much more right here with prices starting at just £8!

Transformulas - Beauty Without the Surgery

Transformulas is a brand I first tried thanks to beauty boxes and the tag line 'Beauty without the Surgery' is about feeling good in the skin you are in and using products which work in synergy with the body to enhance natural beauty and confidence and to make you feel happy in your own skin. Transformulas products support restoring the appearance of youthful radiant skin while helping to preserve and delay the onset of those pesky ageing issues.
Transformulas - Beauty Without the Surgery
I was kindly sent a box of products which I have been trying out.  Inside the box is LipVolume Voluptous, Brow ReGrow and Marine Miracle EyeZone plus to finish off making the box and contents extra special there is the inclusion of a silver sparkly mirror, which is really cute.
Transformulas - Beauty Without the Surgery
Each of these three products use ingredients which are naturally sourced and all of the treatments are scientifically designed by the industry’s leading doctors and dermatologists. Transformulas state that their products are constantly evolving with treatments for the face, eyes, lips and body, all formulated and developed using the latest skincare technologies, from stem cell and microencapsulated technology to Nano and bio technologies, to produce unique anti-ageing systems that aren’t just cutting edge but are also safe, effective and most importantly non-invasive.

The first item out of the box is Brow ReGrow which is described as being a state of the art treatment which is the perfect solution for over-plucked brows.  Well my brows are never going to be fashionably big and bushy, I grew up in the over-pluck them brows era and should it ever become fashionable again, I will be on trend. 
Transformulas - Beauty Without the Surgery

Described as being a revolutionary new eyebrow treatment that is enriched with high performance Pentapeptides plus botanical extracts to help transform brows. Clinically proven, this formula boosts brows, delivering results in two ways. First, the infused pigment softly tints brow hair enhancing and filling in patchy areas. Next, it works at a cellular level, as an intensive conditioning treatment, stimulating keratin production and actively boosting new hair growth.  The formula is really easy to work with and I simply brush it through my brows using the doe foot applicator that comes with it and then re-brush with a spoolie.  I have only been using it for a few weeks, so am looking forward to seeing what the difference might be.

The second product within the box is the LipVolume Voluptous.  I have tried the original formula and found it to be alright but this is a new improved formula and it differs slightly.  
Transformulas - Beauty Without the Surgery

Using powerful lip plumping peptides that help boost volume, enhancing lip shape, combined with key moisturising ingredients that smooth, soften and improve the skins texture to make lips appear more pouty and voluptuous. What I like about this formula is that whilst there is a slight tingling sensation a few minutes after application and whilst it doesn't hurt or sting, it definitely reminds you that it is there. It is also really moisturising and thankfully non-sticky plus it also works to stimulate collagen and reduces cellular damage.

The final item within the box is a silver ball which contains Marine Miracle Eyezone Cream which is described as being a skin perfecting eye cream, designed to visibly smooth and firm around the eyes area, as well as reducing dark circles. 
Transformulas - Beauty Without the Surgery
Using a combination of ingredients which includes Aldavine and ocean plant extracts they work to increase smoothness and improve elasticity around the eye area as well as lighten dark circles, reduce fine lines as well as and strengthening capillaries to reduce broken veins. For me, eye care is just as important as lip care, hair care and any other part of my body and I am always mindful of fine lines which have started to make an appearance around my eyes.  I like that the formula isn't too thick, it isn't sticky or tacky and you can also use it on dry, chapped lips for a quick intensive, repairing treatment.

So for something a little bit different but one with Science behind it, Transformulas are offering products with a difference.  Have any of these caught your eye?
