If you are still looking for those last minute stocking fillers to finish off your Christmas shopping, or in my case start it, then let me introduce you to Beautiful Blends, a range which is described as being a collection of beautifully scented bath and body treats which are designed to indulge both mind and body this yuletide. Beautiful Blends have products for all budgets and are exclusive to Waitrose.
Beautiful Blends have a signature scent which is described as being a delicate white floral fragrance combined with a woody, green and musky scent and the notes are as follows:
- Top Notes - Apple, Aquatic and Leafy
- Middle Notes - Cucumber, Cyclamen and Muguet
- Base Notes - Sandalwood, Cedarwood and Musk
I had expected, given the design and look of the products to have something more floral and rose like but instead, you are greeted with a scent which reminds me personally of walking into a florist for the first time as all the scents come at you at once and then, after a few minutes everything settles down and the main fragrance note is Apple and Cucumber which is really pleasant.
The first item fulfilling its role as a stocking filler is the Beautiful Blends Trio of Minis (RRP £8). These would be perfect as a thank you gift or even for your Secret Santa. The trio of minis comprises of a Beautiful Blend Shower Gel (50ml), Body Lotion (50ml) and Hand Cream (50ml) and I love that the packaging of the box matches that of the tube of products.
The beautifully fragranced Shower Gel (50ml) and Body Lotion (50ml) will leave skin feeling cleansed and smooth whilst the luxurious Hand Cream (50ml) contains Shea Butter to leave skin feeling nourished.
Coming next is Bathing Petals (RRP £10/80g). I couldn't wait to chuck these in my bath, so this box no longer looks so pristine but I do love how is they don't go immediately limp and soggy as soon as they come into contact with the water and instead that they do manage to float around and they do release the most amazing fragrance into the steam vapour.
Once you get out of the bath, thankfully the petals are really easy to remove and don't clog up the plug hole, always my biggest fear of having to unblock it. A bargain at £10!
The final gift in this collection is the Beautiful Blends Treat Gift Set (RRP £18) and it has a little bit of something in which really shows off the collection.
This luxurious gift set contains three Beautiful Blends’ products which have been specifically curated and brought together to give a relaxing treat. Inside, you will find the beautifully fragranced Shower Gel (100ml) and Body Lotion (100ml) and some of the Bathing Petals (25g) which are detailed above.
I think the Beautiful Blend range is absolutely stunning and there are a few more options to choose from within the range such as a Hand Care Duo and some Hand Cream and much more. If you shop in Waitrose regularly, then you might have seen them on offer in the Beauty aisle.
