Tili Season of Beauty Beauty Box

Tili Boxes from QVC are not beauty edits I tend to see on my social media feed and im not sure why because they are really good value for money. The Tili Season of Beauty Beauty Box is the brand's Christmas Edit and it is really good value for money.

Inside this edit from Tili, you will find brands and their products which are designed to get you into the festive spirit and ready to party whether it’s down the office or if like me, using everything you can on the prom dress finder search with your helping your niece to hunt for perfect dress.

'Tis the season to treat yourself, so unwrap Tili's Season of Beauty Box this Christmas for a truly magic makeover. Boasting a stocking-full of sumptuous skincare, haircare heroes and even an oh-so-Christmassy nail polish, this beautifully boxed collection will ensure you're pampered and party-ready from top to toe. It also makes a stunning gift for someone special, so you can spread the beauty love this season!

Priced at just £39.96 plus P&P, this edit gives you a saving of over £105: If you were to buy these items individually. So here is what is included within the box:

Contents

• 1 x Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic (200ml) 
• 1 x Judith Williams Retinol Science Elite Cleansing Mousse (150ml)
• 1 x Elemis Overnight Matrix (15ml) - Over winter, your skin works hard
• 1 x Erborian Skin Hero (5ml) 
• 1 x Percy & Reed The Perfect Blow Dry Makeover Spray (150ml)
• 1 x Percy & Reed Turn Up the Volume Volumising Dry Shampoo (50ml) 
• 1 x It’s a 10 Haircare Miracle Leave In (59ml) 
• 1 x Nails Inc Longwear Nail Polish (14ml) in Wardour Street (light pink), Waterloo Place (cherry red) or Hyde Park Gate (pale blue)
• 1 x Hollywood Browzer

I think this is a really great collection of products and QVC is definitely somewhere to look to when it comes to Christmas gifts as they always have amazing deals, such as Elemis right now and as with last year L'Occitane, which was too good a deal to miss out on.

L'Occitane Douceur Immortelle Uplifting Candle

Alongside the most amazing skincare, perfume and body care products, L’Occitane also has an incredible home fragrance range and it is delightful, as you can imagine it would be.

Whether you are a fan of candles, room sprays, Reed diffuser or a pillow spray then there is an incredible choice. I have the L'Occitane Douceur Immortelle Uplifting Candle to share today and I have been blown away by how beautiful it is and as a range of products, I really want to try everything L'Occitane now has to offer - which by the way is quite a lot!

I absolutely love candles, whatever the season, the weather or even my mood, I always have a candle burning - in the winter I like the comforting scent notes of cinnamon, leather, amber and notes that help you to wind down and relax, in the lighter months or most of the year, I am more fresh scents - Mint, citrus, herbs, floral and even a few earthy notes.  

The L'Occitane Douceur Immortelle Uplifting Candle is described as being the candle that sweeps you away in the hills of Provence after a long warm day, when earth releases its most exquisite scents, mixed with herbs and flowers.  For anyone who is familiar with the Immortelle skincare collection might just recognise a few of the ingredients.

Using the essential oils of immortelle, basil, cypress, eucalyptus and litsea cubeba, all of which come together in a fragrance that is deliciously aromatic, fresh and calming.  Once the candle has been lit, those notes come together and fill the entire room quickly and in doing so, that atmosphere is just incredible.

Nestled inside a subtle white jar, this candle will work alongside any decor and if, like me it is a scent you absolutely love, it can be paired with its matching reed diffuser, room spray or essential oil to really make the most of.  

This candle is priced at £20.50 and it has a burn time of around 70 hours, though this will always differ depending on how long and how often you choose to burn the candle.  When I have had this candle alight, I have found 2-3 hours is more than enough time to bring that scent to life throughout the house.

The Most Romantic Things To Do In London For Couples

Any city can be romantic when you’re in the mood for love - and London offers everything from a couples massage to private dining. So no matter what you and your lover are into, here are a couple of suggestions for wonderful dates.

High Eating

If there is one thing about London, there are more skyscrapers than you can shake a stick at. You can choose from a wide range of rooms with a view and enjoy something delicious to eat. 

Many people naturally look for the largest and most prominent figures on the skyline, like The Gherkin and The Shard, but there are a couple of smaller (in height but not in taste) places that should be given a shot. 

Level 7 Restaurant at the Tate Modern serves up food to die for, and once you’re done, you can look around. The Amphitheater Restaurant offers delectable eats with a view that overlooks Covent Garden. 

If you prefer to stare out the window and onto the water, the Royal Festival Hall offers views of the South Bank and Thames. 

Pitch Black 

Still on the subject of eating, but this time instead of eating in the sky, the lights go out. A unique gastro experience that instead of eating by candlelight, you eat in the complete dark. It is so dark, in fact, that you can’t see your hand in front of your face. Blacked-out windows and a room that is black as if you were asleep are available at Dans le Noir. 

The room is designed to enable conversation between those enjoying the food - and you only have three choices - vegan, pescatarian, and carnivore. From there, you get what you get! 

Tumblers are in place of wine glasses, and the utensils are blunt - a perfect sensory experience for couples.

Board Games Night

It doesn’t all have to be wining and dining - instead, you can get your geek on - and share it with your partner by heading to a board games night! Penchant for spelling? Get the scrabble board out. 

There are a couple of fun board game evenings and venues dotted around London, but you could choose something more tech-based and find one of the games cafes and book a booth for the evening so you can attempt to win a couple of races in Mario Kart. 

Sharing hobbies is easy to do in London since you’ll be surrounded by everything you need and more. 

Under The Stars

Is anything more romantic than staring up at the night sky and taking in just how beautiful the night can be? The Royal Observatory is the perfect place to go to stargaze. 

Book tickets online, but make sure to add your Planetarium booking, too, because it is not included in the entry price. The Sky Tonight is one of the best options, as is Starstruck!

London is an amazing place to go, and you can choose anything from walking in the park, the Zoo, museums, art galleries, eating in the dark, sailing on the Thames, and so much more. The perfect place for an unforgettable date. Need some more super romantic tips for the warmer months Summer Romance: Tips

The Body Shop Boost Uplifting Hair & Body Wash

On the very rare occasion I get to a Body Shop store, as I did a few weeks ago for my 29463903th bottle of my beloved Ginger Shampoo and Conditioner, I love a good mooch about to see what is new and on this occasion I was immediately drawn to the selection of products hidden away in a corner under a banner called 'Boost'.

As part of the new wellness range, which is made up of three collections - Boost, Sleep and Breathe, each one has a whole plethora of products under its banner and whilst I am waiting for an order to come for the products I couldn't get in store, I am glad I picked up the Boost Uplifting Hair & Body Wash.

Energise your mind and get ready to take on the world with The Body Shop’s Boost range. This blend brings some flavour to life thanks to this sunny and citrusy scent, rounded off with a cheerful, floral note. Known for their potent properties to help re-energise the body, mandarin & bergamot scent are mostly found on the shores of Calabria, crafted by traditional Italian producers who never let a drop go to waste.

Perfect for all skin types, this Boost Uplifting Hair & Body Wash is perfect for using on those mornings when you feel totally sluggish and like your eyelids are Velcro, then this bottle of energy is exactly what you need. Inside the recyclable aluminium bottle has an upliftingly warm, zesty, awakening and citrusy scent, which if you are familiar with products from The Body Shop is not only Vegan, but is made with 95% ingredients of natural origin, including 100% natural and biodegradable mandarin and bergamot essential oils as well as Community Fair Trade organic olive oil from Italy. 

In the shower, or the bath, you simply apply directly to your body and massage it into the skin, taking the time to breathe in and enjoy those citrus scents.  If you prefer to use a pump dispenser, you can get a reusable one from The Body Shop for free by showing your order receipt.

So what do these ingredients do?

• Community Fair Trade Organic Olive Oil - Often referred to as ‘liquid gold’ it helps to keep your skin soft and moisturised. 
• Bergamot Essential Oil - It is known for its zesty and uplifting qualities.
• Mandarin Essential Oil- Used for its uplifting scent which helps the body and mind feel energised.

This is an incredible find as far as I am concerned, it was an accidental purchase as I had wanted the Melting Breathe Balm which was out of stock, so I took a chance on this and am glad I did.  The Boost range is made up of 6 other products which includes - a Whipped Body Creme, Shine On Hair and Body Oil, an Essential Oil Blend, Hand Cream, Hand Wash and a Sugar Body Polish.  All of which I have no doubt I will try!

Priced at just £12 for 200ml, it is worth every penny.
