Festive Scented Candles
I LOVE a scented candle, and I love a FESTIVE scented candle even more! I was lucky enough to be gifted these candles for the purposes of this review, but I have spent over £40 on a scented candle because I do think in this instance that if you spend a wee bit more you get a much better pay-off. Jo ...
Christmas Beauty Crackers
Christmas Crackers are getting a bit of a name for themselves this year, for being wasteful. But hopefully, there isn’t too much in these lovely beauty crackers that isn’t recyclable or reusable. And all of the plastic cracker pieces I have used here are vintage ones I purchased to make into jewellery...

Guerlain's Goldenland Christmas
Oooh, get this gorgeous festive sparkle palette from Guerlain! I love it. It’s packed full of beautiful colours when open, but when it’s closed, is it a makeup case, a compact minaudière, or simply a beautiful little clutch designed to be tucked into the palm of the hand? Or is it all of that and more...

One of my favourite brands, Bobbi Brown has SO much to offer this Christmas in terms of gift sets, palettes, and gorgeous shimmer and sparkle, I can’t even begin to cover it all.

Alexandra Shulman for No7 at Boots
Former British Vogue Editor-in-Chief Alexandra Shulman has collaborated on a gift range with Boots No7 just in time for Christmas. I wish I could be a little bit more excited about this, but it’s all a little bit, dare I say it, meh, with a capital M. Except the velvet blue makeup bag – that I do like...

Mugler Perfuming Brushes
Here is the perfect stocking filler for Mugler fragrance fans! Yes, okay, it’s a bit more than I expect in my stocking (usually 50p and a satsuma, some hankies and some socks), but you get the idea. The Mugler Perfuming Brush was launched this autumn in three fragrances – Angel, Aura, and Alien. The...
Beauty Advent Calendars 2019
Have you got your advent calendar yet? There are SO many to choose from out there, it’s crazy.
