Bare Feet 3 Steps To Happy Feet Christmas Foot Care Gift Set

Bare Feet is a brand by the fabulous Margaret Dabbs  who I was introduced too quite some time ago and just in time for Christmas, the 3 Steps To Happy Feet Christmas Foot Care Gift Set has arrived just in time to ensure my trotters are continuing to look their best as I enter into party season and if you keep reading, I've got an amazing discount offer for you to take advantage of!

The first product in this gift set is the Foot File and despite the face that I really don’t like my feet being touched, this is an incredible product to use.It is said that the easiest way to remove hard dead skin, which can be really unsightly and in some cases if left for too long, very painful is with a tool such as this. Podiatrist approved, this file is podiatrist has a long handle which is easy to grip so that your can work your way across that hard skin, especially on those heels which is where I always have a problem, to buff the skin away pain-free and effortlessly.

The second product in this gift set is the Exfoliating Foot Scrub and if you find using the foot file is just too much, then this scrub is a great alternative.

Formulated with the natural exfoliant of coconut, apricot stone and sweet almond shells, this scrub works to gently buff away dead skin cells without being overly abrasive, it does a remarkable job. Alongside those natural exfoliants is a blend of Ginger extract to energise the skin as well as to ease muscle and joint aches, then we have antibacterial and antibiotic properties of Manuka honey and also has the most wonderfully uplifting scent of Green Tea and zesty Lime.

Once your feet have been scrubbed and rubbed into submission, the third and final product within this gift set is the Conditioning Foot Cream. This cream is suitable for all skin types and has been designed to hydrate dry or rough skin of the feet as well as to help to reduce the build-up of hard skin and any callus that usually form, leaving feet feeling soft and smooth.

This intensive foot cream not only helps to treat dry, damaged feet and severely dry, cracked feet, but it also hosts antibacterial properties which help to keep feet hygienic, healthy and protected. With that, it can also help to treat the symptoms of issues such as Athlete’s Foot.  As you might expect, this cream is every bit as luxurious as it sounds and it is once again blended with energising Ginger extract, skin soothing Manuka Honey and nourishing Avocado Oil and again, there is the inclusion of the uplifting fragrance of Green Tea & zesty Lime which compliments the scent of the Exfoliating Foot Scrub.

The Copenhagen Company - Scandi Christmas Medium Candle

When it comes to Christmas scents, for me the use of cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise and citrus peels remind me of Christmas Cake and it is at this time of the yeat when Christmas Candles really grab my attention.

Meet the Copenhagen Company, a family run business which is described as being The Home of Hygge Scents. Inspired by Founder Bo’s Danish roots and passion for fine fragrance, the collection includes an array of room sprays, diffusers and candles in a variety of sizes.  I was very kindly sent the Scandi Christmas Medium Candle and it has one of those scents you detect before the box has even been opened.

The Copenhagen Company candles are:

• Vegan and cruelty free
• Ethical and Sustainable
• Authentic Hygge
• Affordable without comprising quality

What I love about this candle is the description speaks for itself when you first see it packaged so beautifully inside its box and the gold lid really makes this a beautiful gift.

Transport yourself to a festive wonderland with this citrus led scent entwined with a blend of delicious spices including cinnamon and cloves, sweetened with a touch of vanilla and held together with the warm and woody notes of sandalwood and cedar.

The candle features top notes of Orange, Mandarin, Lemon and Red Fruits and those are the scents that grab your attention until the candle is unboxed and lit, it is a fresh citrus scent and just wonderful. As the candle is lit, those heart notes of Cinnamon and Clove take my back to the Christmas cake ingredients being mixed and steeped in a bowl, covered with a muslin cloth to marinate, strong enough to scent every room in the house, but then the earthy notes at the base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla and Cedar bring about an aromatic sweetness whilst still allowing those top notes to work there magic.

This is a medium three wick candle, priced at just £18 and it has a burn time of approximately 30-35, depending on how often and for how long you burn it for. It has a natural wax blend and uses cotton wicks.

Christmas Gifting with Emolyne Cosmetics

If someone you are buying a gift for loves makeup, then a brand that has the attention of Vogue is definitely one to look at and that is Emolyne, a brand I was first introduced to back in 2022,

Emolyne is the British beauty brand that is empowered by the belief that beauty is for everyone, and as such, they create makeup that celebrates every ethnicity, gender, age, and lifestyle. anedit of lipsticks, lip liners and nail lacquers is available in the same 30 matching colours and some of the most beautiful eyeshadows I have come across, there is something for everyone.

The Lip products are sold under three different categories - Velvet Lip, Defining Lip and Gloss Lip and each of those 30 shades works as a matching trio.

Choosing your shade might, or a shade leaves you spoilt for choice because they are all just so stunning and if you can't decide what will or will not suit you, helpfully there is a Lipstick shade finder on hand to help and this is what I used to choose the shade I have - Uganda.

Uganda is a cool toned mauve shade and anyone who knows me will know, I have a shade type when it comes to lipsticks and this is it. A velvety, semi-matte, highly pigmented and long-lasting lip colour which really is long lasting, matches with its liner and gloss perfectly, they can be worn one their own or together, depending on your preference. As you can see, the Lipstick is packaged in a very luxurious glittering metal golden glittery case and it pops open when you press the E button on its top. The lipstick bullet is embossed with the brands E logo and is curved perfectly for an easy application.

The Defining Lip Liner is smooth and creamy when applied and again, the colour payoff is incredible, so much so that I often wear the liner and the gloss day to day and then the lipstick if I am going out. The gloss, again in the shade Uganda is a high shine gloss which is neither sticky or tacky when applied and is infused with vitamin E for a silky and hydrating finish.

The lipsticks are priced at £23, The Defining Line is £15 and the Gloss is just £17, all really affordable and just stunning.

If eye makeup is more your cup of tea, when Emolyne also has that box ticked too and I shared a reel over on Instagram of two the Eyeshade Cremes (£24).

In the shades Pemba Shores and Benin Bronze, these are two of the most wearable shades for someone who likes the more natural look. Pemba Shores is a warm gold shade which has a multidimensional finish. Then we have Benin Bronze, which as the name might give away is a deep bronze shade and again, it is a creamy shadow with a multidimensional finish.

Both of these Eyeshadow Creme's are easy to apply with your finger, a brush or even a makeup sponge, depending on the look you are going for, but because they have such rich pigments, you only need a small amount to really make your eyes pop.

The last product to share is the Lashline Lacquer (£19) and it is available in two shades - Kalahari Brown or BoBende Black and I have the Kalahari Brown, which is an earthy brown shade and perfect for my colouring as I find a black is too harsh.  With its smudge-proof felt tip liquid eyeliner, this liner dries quickly, so if you are wanting to smudge it, you will need to be quick because once it is there, it is not budging and it is waterproof! Thankfully easy to remove with eye makeup remover!

As you might have guessed from this post, all the shades are named for African countries or landmarks which makes it all the more special and the brand owner, Emolyne, being half Ugandan, half Danish but based here in London decided to create a brand that would cater to those looking for coordinated colours and that she has most definitely done.  Each product is also vegan friendly, cruelty free and paraben free.

You can find the whole Emolyne collection right here and as well as lipsticks and other products I have shared, there is also a selection of nail polish to choose from too.  So if you like everything to match, this brand will be the one you need!
