KEAR “SPA AT HOME” Gift Set

If I had the time to visit a spa regularly, then you can absolutely guarantee that I would be there, it has been well over year since I've had any form of pampering treatment, so instead I use products at home that give me that spa at home appeal and that is where brands such as Kear come in with their 'Spa at home' sets.

This natural body care set includes products that offer a luxurious, calming and spa-like treatment in the comfort of your home. Fit for all genders, without petroleum, paraben, and cruelty-free.

Inside this gift set is two products and they are designed to offer you that luxurious, calming and spa-like treatment in the comfort of your home.

Starting with the Firming Fusion Genius Detox Leg Oil which is expertly crafted to target common concerns such as cellulite and uneven skin texture, offering a natural and effective solution. What sets this product apart is its innovative use of up-cycled food by-products, creating a nourishing Mediterranean-inspired "skin diet. Infused with roasted coffee bean extract and grape pomace, this oil is clinically proven to diminish the appearance of orange peel skin and cellulite while boosting skin firmness.

The roasted coffee bean extract delivers a potent combination of antioxidants and caffeine, promoting blood circulation and supporting the breakdown of fat cells. Meanwhile, grape pomace, traditionally used to produce grappa, is packed with phytomolecules, vitamins (C, K, B1, B6), manganese, and powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compounds, making it a skincare powerhouse.

Then we have the Mastic Herbal Beauty Soap which smells just incredible. Kear's herbal beauty soaps, crafted with plant-based ingredients like vegetable glycerin and cosmetic oils, are designed to nourish your skin with every use. Free from parabens, animal fat, sulfates, toxins, and cruelty, these vegan, multipurpose soaps embody natural care.

The Mastic Natural Soap Bar, enriched with mastic essential oil (mastiha), deeply cleanses and purifies the skin without stripping away moisture. Packed with antioxidants, mastic protects against free radicals, enhances skin elasticity, and improves the look of photo-aged skin for a radiant and healthy complexion. Its balancing properties help regulate sebum production, reduce shine, and address acne and black spots on oily skin.  Versatile in use, Kear's Mastic Natural Soap Bar restores moisture to dry, flaky hands, and is suitable for the face, body, and even hair. It effectively removes makeup, making it a perfect addition to your daily skincare routine for refreshed and rejuvenated skin.

Kear has an amazing set of products and with prices starting as low as €5.00 this is a great way to try the brand and create your own 'spa at home' edit.

et al. Diffuse and Conceal Set

Already obsessed with et al and the Make-up brush set I shared on my blog as an amazing Christmas Gift but new to my collection is this amazing et al. Intelligent Skin Cream Concealer.

When it comes to using a concealer, I am really really picky about the texture and how it feels on my skin and of the many hundreds of different options I have tried, I have perhaps managed to find three that I like and it includes this one from et al.

Available in 16 shades, each one indicated by a unique number and grouped into four different skin tone categories, Light, Medium, Tan and Deep and impressively  three different types of tones - Neutral (N), Warm (W) and Cool (C).  

I have shade 60w and it really works well with my skin tone, described as being more than just your reliable camouflage companion, this concealer is packed full of active skin-loving ingredients including Hydrachrysum™ + Phytoserene, which work together to help improve hydration and soothe your skin.   Alongside those ingredients is a whole host of others which are equally impressive and they include:

• Tazman Pepper™ AF – The sensitive skin tamer
• Allantoin – The hardworking skin healer
• Squalane – The skin barrier builder
• Aloe Vera Leaf Powder – The soother and smoother
• Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract (Kakadu Plum) – The eco-friendly vitamin C source.
• Vitamin E – The powerful antioxidant

Packaged in a recyclable luxe tube, this concealer features a soft doe-foot applicator for easy and precise application. For me, a good concealer needs to be lightweight while still providing coverage, and most importantly, it mustn’t pill under my eyes—a common issue with many other brands. I also appreciate the flexibility of blending it with either my fingers or a brush, depending on my preference. But above all, I look for a concealer that *actually* conceals—whether it’s dark circles, blemishes, or other imperfections. I don’t want to rely on foundation or tinted moisturizer to do all the work.

The *et al. Concealer* ticks all the boxes. It’s lightweight and creamy, yet buildable, and I find it incredibly soothing under my eyes. A tiny amount is enough to quickly conceal and even out discoloration, and it works wonders at reducing redness and brightening the under-eye area for a refreshed, more awake look.

With its beautifully natural finish, it effectively hides blemishes without drawing attention to them. The formula builds seamlessly, going from sheer, natural coverage to medium coverage in just a few layers. Plus, it’s comfortable to wear, never cakes or settles into fine lines—an absolute must for an under-eye concealer!

Also included with this concealer is the et al. Diffusing Concealer Brush which is a flat, feathery + precisely cut to provide effortless concealer application for a diffused finish

With its super soft bristles and its precision cut, it gets to the more difficult angles to help seamlessly blend the concealer.

Priced at just £39 via et al, or Harvey Nichols, together this makes a great gift for someone who loves makeup and it is also completely vegan and cruelty-free.

The BeautyPro SPA at Home: The Glow Edit is a great Stocking Filler at just £10 and the perfect gift for anyone who loves a good face mask and coupled with the BeautyPro T-Bar Device, it is a great gift to give.

I have been using BeautyPro products for quite a few years and this The Glow Edit is a luxurious pampering treatment for tired-looking skin, starring three revitalising masks, including the most lovely under-eye mask which is incredibly soothing when applied.

Set Contents:

• Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Mask 25ml - This is a 15-minute hydrating treatment that envelops the skin in a burst of quenching moisture. Packed with skin-loving actives, the formula is infused with hyaluronic acid and wild rose extract to soothe the look of skin for a revitalised finish.
• Detoxifying Bubbling Cleansing Sheet Mask 20ml - This is a self-foaming facial mask delivers an invigorating deep-cleansing experience. Enriched with activated charcoal and an AHA complex, the formula minimises the look of congested pores and excess oil for a visibly refined effect.
• Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask 3.5g - This is one of BeautyPro's best-selling for their cooling properties, the eye masks help to reduce the appearance of puffiness and dark circles. The masks are infused with green tea and aloe vera extract for a soothing feeling.

This BeautyPro SPA at Home: The Glow Edit is on sale priced at just £10.

I am a huge fan of all three mask and they are perfect for a pampering session, more so with the use BeautyPro T-Bar Device, a T-bar tool that utilises sonic vibrations to encourage an invigorating and sculpting effects.

BeautyPro’s T-Bar Device harnesses the power of sonic vibrations to deliver a stimulating massage, helping to firm and sculpt the skin for a more contoured appearance.

With up to 6000 pulsations per minute, this handheld device supports your lymphatic drainage routine and enhances visible results. For the best experience, use the T-Bar on wet skin or after applying a hydrating serum, allowing the tool to glide effortlessly across the complexion while visibly depuffing, smoothing, and invigorating.

How to Use 

To activate, twist the bottom of the handle to start the vibrations. For optimal glide, apply the T-Bar to wet skin or after applying a serum. 

Gently move the T-Bar across your face, starting from the centre and working outwards. Focus on areas like the forehead, under-eye area, cheeks, neck, and jaw. This will help stimulate lymphatic drainage, leaving your skin looking firmer, more toned, and revitalised.

The BeautyPro T-Bar Device is currently on offer with 30% off at just £27.30 over at Lookfantastic and whether you are a pro with your beauty gadgets or want to get started on your journey with them, this is a great way to do just that.
