Five Favourites from FeelUnique

by | 9 Nov 2013 | The Beauty Blog |

Loving all the beauty gifts that appear at this time of year – with so many to choose from we’re choosing our favourite shops and bringing you our pick of their collections. Here we browse FeelUnique – it was sooooo hard to choose just five products as they have over 500 brands and 18000 products to choose from! What a dream!   First up has got to be Benefit’s Little Love Potions Gift Set at £29.50… this is the perfect gift for anyone who loves their beauty. It features all the brilliant classics from Benefit in travel sizes including: Our favourite bronzer, Hoola; The POREfessional PRO Balm Primer; b.right It’s Potent! Eye Cream; the gorgeous High Beam Luminescent Complexion Enhancer; Posietint Poppy-Pink Tinted Lip & Cheek Stain; Stay Don’t Stray Stay-Put Primer for Concealers & Eyeshadows in Light/Medium; Watt’s Up! Soft Focus Highlighter for Face; BADgal Black Lash Mascara; “That Gal” Brightening Face Primer; and Ultra Plush Lip Gloss Mini in Hoola. What more could a girl want?!  Crabtree & Evelyn have wonderful sets at Christmas, our choice would be this Jojoba Oil Ultimate Luxuries Set – if you’re not sure what to buy this is an excellent choice as it’s not fragrance heavy and contains everything needed to indulge and improve skin. If £50 is over budget there are similar sets and individual products in the Jojoba Oil range that also come boxed to make lovely gifts.

One thing I love about October (and even a bit before), is the launch of all the Christmas goodies and gift sets! This is my first Christmas as an Arbonne consultant and the excitement around the launch of the festive range is huge amongst Independent Consultants and clients alike 🙂 This weekend I was able to sample the gift range and oh there is so much to share!  I’ve picked out some of my favourites that I’ll be sending this year… Joy & Wonder Hair & Body Set, £43 This is a lovely set for anyone who wants to take care of hair and body with simple easy-to-use products… if you know anyone who moans about the condition of their hair, or complains of dry skin in winter, this is the gift for them! Argan and Abyssinian oils, with ylang-ylang, gardenia and Australian sandalwood blend together to give us fantastic hydration and nourishment – the hair oil is a generous size and a little goes a very long way with the body butter, so this will last throughout the cold winter days! If your friend likes Moroccanoil products this is a great choice.   Sky for Men Gift Set, £46 The Sky for Men Cologne is a great scent and this season Arbonne have brought us a fabulous set for men in this fresh, clean fragrance. Suitable for all ages (who’ve started shaving!), the set includes a Shave Gel, After Shave Balm and Body Wash.  The Cologne is available separately at £41.   Heart of Gold Palette, £43 A gorgeous palette of shimmery baked eyeshadows… these blend beautifully and...

Christmas Bodycare Gifts

by | 20 Nov 2012 | The Beauty Blog |

We’ve been so distracted by all the lovely emails coming in for beautiful Christmas gift sets that we thought we’d pick three of our favourite body care gifts for this Christmas… add to your wish lists and start hinting! First on the list is Elemis… we never tire of the fabulous Elemis gift sets and it is the Princess of Spa set that has caught our attention this year. With its three full size products – 400ml Skin Nourishing Milk Bath, 300ml Quiet Mind Relaxing Bath Elixir and 100ml ProRadiance Hand & Nail Cream – you get £80-worth of products for £49.50. Skin Nourishing Milk Bath is a product we recommend for anyone with troublesome or dry skin, while Quiet Mind is a soothing treat and the ProRadiance Hand Cream a handbag must-have. Available from Beauty Expert, John Lewis and Time to Spa. Next on the list is Sanctuary Spa’s Ultimate Body Revival – at £20 (and part of a 3 for 2 offer at Boots and Sanctuary Spa), this is an affordable treat for family and friends. Not the full sizes we see with the Elemis set, but a little bit of everything – Hand Cream, Body Butter, Body Scrub, Body Lotion, Luxury Bath Float and nail files. Sanctuary Spa are offering lots of lovely bodycare gift sets this year, with prices starting at just £8. Available from Boots and Sanctuary Spa. Christmas wouldn’t feel right without Molton Brown under the Christmas Tree! And we need a treat for the boys? (Hey, think about it, we can pinch it!). This gift set contains two full size body washes,...
