Without question, one of my favourite brands is Emma Hardie. Having tried pretty much every single product the brand has to offer, including being treated to the most luxurious and relaxing facial that I have ever had, at Christmas time, as a brand, I feel Emma Hardie excels themselves.
This year I am sharing two products that fit into the stocking filler category and are suitable for Stocking Filler category and both products are £20 and under. I have shared quite a few stocking filler guides so far this year and I absolutely love them, I feel you often get better value for money.
The first product is the Merrily Moringa Bauble, which at £12 is amazing value for money. Whether you are as big as a fan as I am of the brand or whether it is a brand you want to get to know, then this gift bauble is an amazing place to start.
Inside, you will find two products, the first one, which will need no introduction is the Moringa Cleansing Balm. A balm that is very much a cult product, its iconic and nearly everyone I know has tried it at some stage in their life. It is often described as being as being a purifying botanical cleansing balm and its job is to removes all traces of face and eye make-up, deeply cleanse the pores whilst at the same time to also be balancing, hydrating and moisturising for all skin types. It is packed with an impressive list of ingredients which includes
- Grape Seed Oil and Sweet Almond Oil rich in essential fatty acids help to plump and soften
- Moringa seed extract, Wild Sea Fennel and Vitamin E balance, purify and help to minimise the appearance of open pores
- Essential oils of Orange, Neroli and Mandarin rejuvenate and revitalise the skin whilst calming the senses
- Jasmine and Rose help to recondition dull, dry, dehydrated and mature skins
For me, what makes this balm just so beautiful is how it feels on the skin. From not being over oily and greasy, even when it emulsifies when it comes into contact with water, it is soft, it is smooth and the scent is just incredible and I am so delighted it is now also available in many other forms - especially a candle.
Also within this bauble is a cleansing cloth is a dual sided cloth and on one side of the cloth is a gentle microfibre material for deep cleansing and removal whereas the other side is a muslin cloth for polishing the skin.
The second product within this guide is the Moringa Skin Indulgence and this is a cracker (£20) and it is also an amazing gift to give.
Inside this cracker you will find the following products:
15ml Moringa Cleansing Balm - Again as mentioned above, this is one of the most delightful cleansing balms I have ever used.
15ml Midas Touch Revitalising Cream - (review here) This is one of my favourite creams because it has the most luxurious texture which not only absorbs incredibly quickly into the skin but it does without leaving behind any trace. This cream is formulated with hyaluronic acid to banish signs of fatigue and stress as well as to hydrate and plump the skin. Other ingredients include a powerful blend of marine and botanical extracts such as antioxidant edelweiss stem cells which work to condition and tone while brightening properties are delivered by natural polymatrix algae film extract. Also found within this cream are the natural oils of Moringa, Primrose and Rosehip which work together to moisturise, nourish and soothe and it smells just incredible.
12ml Moringa Light Cleansing Gel - (full review here) This is a lighter version than the Moringa Balm, but it still packs a punch. It is formulated with essential oils which includes moringa and sweet almond and they help to remove dirt, impurities and oil without stripping the skin and leaving it feeling in need of moisture. Added to those oils we have omega-6 and vitamin E which together help to moisturise and soften the skin. Then finally there is the inclusion of sea fennel extract and moringa seed peptides. What you get is a cleanser that not only helps strengthen the skin’s natural defences but one which leaves the skin feeling soft, smooth, sooth, moisturised and hydrated. Perfect for that morning cleanse.
As you can see, I have been really impressed with both of these products and their contents and I think they are such a good way to showcase some of the best that Emma Hardie is known for, whether you have tried products from the brand or not.
