National Baking Week Beauty
Not only was this week National Chocolate Week, it was also National Baking Week! Detox Week next week, perhaps? I’ve had a few goodies land on my desk of late that have baking at the heart.
I think I’m one of a few who don’t watch the BBC’s The Great British Bake-Off, but I do love baking – and eating – cake and biscuits and I love the though of showering in Philosophy’s Christmas baking-themed potions.
Granny’s Apple Pie (Boots exclusive), Spiced Gingerbread Cookie (Debenhams exclusive), Sweet Fluffy Cupcake, Homemade Honey Buns, Butter Rum Cake (Debenhams exclusive), Homemade Pumpkin Pie and Shortbread Cookie (Debenhams online exclusive) are the delectable delights you can shower and bathe in from Philosophy this Christmas! The 480ml shampoo, shower gel & Bubble bath bottles are the perfect gift for baking fans, and are £14 each.
The lovely Homemade Honey Buns gift set (£18), exclusive to John Lewis, features a smaller shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath, and a body lotion.
And the yummy Fruitcake Mix Set (£24) is my favourite of all – a 120ml vanilla mix shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath, a 60ml cranberry medley body lotion, and a 180ml candied pecan hot salt body scrub housed in a lovely tin!
Baylis & Harding have a cute baking themed little gift set as well – and it’s a bargain at just £8 – how cute is their Beauticology set with Shower Creme, Hand & Body Lotion, and a gingerbread man shaped soap?
But if this is all a wee bit sickly sweet for you, then perhaps look at the ingredients used in baking – I love a sharp lemon drizzle cake, a lime meringue pie, or an orange dondi cake (you can Google it – my ex-boyfriend’s mother made a fine version!) – so how about some citrus baking themed beauty?
Bronnley has the most lovely citrus range, which includes Lemon + Neroli, Lime + Bergamot and Orange + Jasmine. Boxes of three shaped soaps are £10.50.
The range includes Shower Wash, Body Lotion and Eau Fraiche, amongst other products. Prices range from £10.50, and it’s available at independent stockists, and bronnley.co.uk
Philosophy products are available at Boots, John Lewis and Debenhams, with certain items exclusive to certain stores. Baylis & Harding can be found at Boots.
