15 December, 2021
Happy Wednesday friends! The big day is slowly but surely creeping closer, and today I have a gorgeous selection of beauty treats to share with you, perfect for smaller-sized gifts, or as fab stocking fillers. I’ve tried to include a selection from affordable to lavish, to cover everyone’s budget – enjoy!
Let’s start with a couple of lovely affordable ideas for fragrance fanatics – The Perfume Companion Book is a brand new release, perfect for those looking to treat themselves to a new fragrance for their collection. Written by Sarah McCartney from 4160 Tuesdays independent perfumery and Samantha Scriven from blog iscentyouaday – these ladies know a thing or two about scent – this book is essentially a compendium of nearly 500 perfumes, created to help you choose your next scent. If you’re buying for someone that’s obsessed with fragrance, this book is a must have.
The Tocca Mini Ornament Gift Set is a super cute affordable gift set comprising of two of Tocca’s best-selling EDP scents in mini 5ml bottles, presented in a festive gift box. ‘Florence’ is a floral fragrance with notes of Gardenia, Tuberose & Iris, and ‘Cleopatra’ features notes of Grapefruit, Egyptian Jasmine & Indian Patchouli.
On to skincare now – I have a vast selection of wonderful skincare treats here, for a variety of budgets..
For someone in need of an excellent makeup remover, the Shiseido Eye & Lip Makeup Remover is a gentle, dual-phase makeup remover that immediately dissolves waterproof makeup and lipstick with ease, leaving skin feeling fresh and smooth without any oily residue.
For those with dry skin, the Kate McIver Secret Weapon Hyaluronic Kakadu Serum could really make all the difference this winter. Perfect for dull, dehydrated and tired skin, this serum promises to brighten, reduces wrinkles and increase skin luminosity. The serum utilises Kakadu plum, which is the world’s most potent source of vitamin c, along with hyaluronic acid to visibly reduce wrinkle volume, boost collagen, reduce redness and increase radiance.
For those with more mature skin, the RoC Retinol Correxion Skincare Collection could be exactly what you’re looking for.
The Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Max Hydration is an intensive anti-wrinkle treatment that quickly moisturizes skin, leaving it deeply hydrated for 24 hours while smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Daily Serum promises to visibly reduce the look of pores, smooth fine lines & wrinkles, and firm for a more youthful, contoured look. Pure RoC Retinol is time-released, begins working on contact, and stays active on the skin for up to 12 hours.
The Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Eye Cream address the 3 signs of eye aging: puffiness, dark circles and wrinkles. This eye treatment is clinically proven to visibly rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes.
The Retinol Correxion Line Smoothing Night Serum Capsules are made with a high concentration of pure RoC Retinol and a bio-derived antioxidant with 2x the effectiveness of Vitamin E, and promises to dramatically smooth and improve the look of collagen-depleted skin.
You may not have heard of D’Still Skincare, but it should definitely be on your radar. Their award winning D’Still Rejuvenating Botanical Serum is perfect for all skin types. This luxury plant based photo-retinol serum has been formulated with 29 nutrient rich botanicals and natural oils. Bakuchiol is included to improve the appearance of fine lines and stimulate collagen, Co Enzyme Q10 to to aid the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, as well as Seabuckthorn oil, which contains Beta Carotene, Vitamin C and Omega 7. The combination of these high quality ingredients creates a product that works to visibly revitalise, repair and renew the skin.
For those more into bath & body products, vegan brand Olverum has exactly what you need for a relaxing evening followed by a restful sleep. This vegan Bath Oil created with natural plant extracts is perfect for soothing aching muscles and relieving stress and tension in the body and mind. Its wonderful scent relaxes you instantly, while leaving skin feeling soft and smooth. This teams up perfectly with the Restful Sleep Pillow Mist to help you get your best night’s sleep. The Pillow Mist contains a blend of essential oils including bergamot, amirs and lavender to give a light natural fragrance that promotes a feeling of calmness and serenity, helping you to get your best night’s sleep yet.
You can always count on Sanctuary Spa to offer some top quality budget Christmas treats. Their Indulgent Duo Gift Setcontains two mini body care treats – a 50ml Body Scrub infused with natural pumice & essential oils to leave skin feeling incredibly smooth, and a 50ml Wet Skin Moisture Miracle 50ml which absorbs super fast into the skin, whilst leaving you beautifully scented. 
On to makeup now – the Shiseido POP PowerGel Single Eye Shadows are inspired by the vibrant colours found in Japanese graphic art. These eyeshadows offer a richly pigmented formula that’s weightless on the lids and easy to blend, combining the ease of a cream product with the staying power of a powder. The finish is waterproof, crease-resistant and long-lasting. The shades I have above are – 03 Fuwa-Fuwa Peach, 17 Zaa-Zaa Navy and 01 Shin-Shin Crystal.
Cult Beauty also have a fantastic selection of beauty gifts available this year. I picked up the Natasha Denona Baby Glam Palette and Huda Silk Balm in Rose Quartz when they recently had 20% off as I’d been eyeing these for a while! The Natasha Denona Baby Glam Palette is truly the cutest, dinkiest palette I’ve ever seen, and the shades are gorgeous too. And the Huda Rose Quartz Lip Balm is just as lovely, leaving the lips silky smooth with a subtle shimmer.
Paul & Joe always come up with the cutest Christmas treats. This limited edition Lipstick in Ruban de Noel is the perfect soft red shade for the upcoming party season, and it has a gorgeous fig scent. And the matching limited edition Paul & Joe Moisturising Hand Cream has the same lovely scent as well as a rich texture that blends easily into the skin leaving hands feeling super soft. Together these will make perfect stocking filler gifts this Christmas.
I also have the Dear Dahlia Mesmerising Moment Eyeshadow Palette in Angelic Nude – this beautiful 8-shade palette includes dusky pinks, sparkly nudes and sepias, perfect for creating a variety of nude looks. The palette features velvety mattes, silky shimmers, and iridescent glitters, and the buttery smooth texture is buildable and blendable to provide a variety of color combinations.
And last but not least – candle fans, have I got a treat for you! The Yuugen Ginger Cake Candle has is the sweetest, most edible scent you can ever imagine. This 220g candle will burn for 45 hours plus, leaving your house scented with freshly baked, warm, rich ginger cake, dripping with lashings of maple syrup and sticky caramel. It really smells amazing! Yuugen candles are also vegan friendly, and hand-poured with their very own blend of all-natural Coconut and Rapeseed wax.
