15 December, 2020
Christmas Gift guide number three is here today, and I’m sharing a wide selection of beauty gifts covering makeup, skincare and body products. I’ve included a range of treats from some of my favourite brands, as well as a few that are new to me too – enjoy!
Let’s kick things off with the lovely L’Occitane Overnight Reset Collection. You probably know by now how much I love L’Occitane products, and their gift selection this year is nothing less than vast! Their Overnight Reset Collection includes a skincare selection featuring their beloved Immortelle essential oil. This skin beautifying gift includes:
- Oil-To-Milk Facial Make-up Remover 30ml – Ideal for all skin types, this pH friendly make-up remover leaves skin feeling cleansed, smoothed, energised and purified.
- Immortelle Essential Water 30ml – This alcohol-free toner will remove all traces of make-up, while hydrating, refreshing and toning the skin.
- Overnight Reset Serum 30ml – This extraordinary night serum will leave you with skin that looks rested, fresh, more youthful and radiant.
- Immortelle Precious Cream 8ml – This moisturiser reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, boost the skin’s firmness and offers lasting anti-ageing protection.
Another gorgeous skincare set is the Caudalie The Beauty Essentials Gift Set. The Beauty Essentials kit houses a hardworking trio of Caudalie products, including their iconic Beauty Elixir, Instant Foaming Cleanser and Glycolic Peel –
- Beauty Elixir 100ml – Brings an instant burst of radiance to the skin. A single spritz refreshes and revitalises your complexion.
- Instant Foaming Cleanser 50ml – Rids you of residual make-up and dirt, leaving skin feeling squeaky clean and peachy-soft.
- Glycolic Peel 15ml – Works as a gentle resurfacing treatment, exfoliating and refining skin texture with glycolic acid to reveal a smooth and glowing complexion.
On to makeup now, the KVD Dazzle Vegan Eyeshadow Sticks could make a lovely stocking filler for those that love glittery, shimmery eye looks. These eyeshadow sticks feature ‘Double Dimension Technology’, packed with 360° refractive pearls dipped in a prismatic coating, to deliver a beautiful shimmery finish. My swatches did not do these eyeshadows justice at all, so definitely look online for some pictures so you can see how beautiful they look!

I’ve also included a few products from Typology.

A lip gift set is always a great idea for makeup lovers. The KVD Boots Greatest Hits Lip Trioincludes three of KVD Vegan Beauty’s best-selling vegan liquid lipsticks.

And lastly, I had to include a couple of gorgeous Pat McGrath Lipsticks. I recently picked some up in her Black Friday sale and they really are fantastic quality. These are the Blitztrance Lipsticks housed in gold glittery casing, they’re full coverage with a creme finish, and include ultra-reflective pearls to give your lips a beautiful glowing finish.
