Elyure Lashes Christmas Gift Guide

Eyelashes are one of those beauty items that you either love or hate I think. I love them but hate applying them and at times can be heard to mutter rather a few expletives until I get them right. 
Elyure Lashes Christmas Gift Guide
Since being introduced to Eylure almost ten years ago, they are one of those brands I really really like, their products are easy to apply and they come in all different types, textures and styles and because I can manage them easily, there is now no expletives shared!

Escentric Molecules - Molecule + Discovery Set

Ever since my introduction to Molecule 1 Escentic Molecules, I have been fascinated by the brand, many of their fragrances being my most worn and repurchased.  Today is the turn of this incredible Escentric Molecules - Molecule + Discovery Set.
Escentric Molecules - Molecule + Discovery Set
Featuring a total of 6 fragrances, they come in a variety of different scents and subtilties depending on your fragrance note of choice.  

I have been working my way through each one of these 6 fragrances and each one being totally different, yet equally fabulous, not only does this Discovery Set make a great gift, it is also an incredible way to find your new fragrance for 2025.
Escentric Molecules - Molecule + Discovery Set
Molecule 01 + Patchouli is a refined blend of Iso E Super and patchouli. Iso E Super is a cutting-edge synthetic molecule, celebrated for its abstract cedarwood-like aroma and a warm, velvety, cocooning effect. Patchouli, on the other hand, is a natural extract from the leaves of the patchouli plant, adding an earthy, woody depth to the composition.

At its heart is Iso E Super and when paired with patchouli coeur, a refined patchouli oil fraction that delivers a clean, soft, and contemporary profile. Enhanced by a touch of Indonesian patchouli, the fragrance achieves a nuanced and multidimensional character. Perfect for all-day wear, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking a fragrance that is both understated and enduring.

Molecule 01 + Iris is a harmonious blend of Iso E Super and iris, creating a fragrance that is both minimalist and captivating. 

The essence of M+ Iris is fresh, refined, and fleetingly ethereal. The creamy, powdery sophistication of orris root intertwines seamlessly to highlight a subtle romance between the seductive warmth of Iso E Super and the understated luxury of iris absolute. Iris imparts a creamy, tactile powderiness and enhances the fragrance’s physical presence, transforming it into something you feel as much as you smell. If you’re captivated by scents that embody the softness and elegance of a cashmere sweater, M+ Iris is your perfect match.

Molecule 01 + Mandarin is a fragrance that beautifully merges the brilliance of nature with cutting-edge innovation. This distinctive scent combines the revolutionary Iso E Super molecule with the vibrant freshness of mandarin, delivering a refreshing yet warm olfactory experience. 

Complemented by the natural zest of mandarin, it opens with an energizing burst of citrus brightness that uplifts and invigorates. As the fragrance develops, the mandarin's vivid freshness softens, giving way to the smooth, sensual depth of Iso E Super.
Escentric Molecules - Molecule + Discovery Set
Molecule 01 + Guaiac Wood is a captivating fragrance featuring smoky, woody notes. Warm and subtly sensual, this unisex eau de toilette is designed for anyone to enjoy, day or night. At its core is Iso E Super, which is beautifully paired with guaiac wood, derived from the heartwood of the palo santo tree, adding a rich, smoky depth to the composition.

Best described as being a comforting yet sophisticated profile, this scent evokes the cozy warmth of sipping whisky by a crackling fire, making it a perfect companion for colder days or intimate evenings.

Molecule 01 + Black Tea is a subtle yet intricate fragrance that balances earthy, fresh, and delicately floral notes. This unisex eau de toilette is versatile, making it ideal for any occasion, whether it's a busy day at the office or an evening out.

At its heart is a refined black tea accord, blending the richness of black tea extract with the herbal freshness of maté tea absolute which alongside the brand’s iconic Iso E Super they create a scent that is both captivating and elegantly understated.

Molecule 01 + Ginger is a fragrance that balances freshness and spice with effortless sophistication. Using the composition of the revolutionary Iso E Super alongside the vibrant zest of ginger extract, derived from the rhizome of the ginger plant, the scent exudes a fresh, punchy, zesty yet spicy energy that is both captivating and subtly seductive.

Molecule 01 + Ginger offers a clean, modern aroma with an intoxicating, aphrodisiac effect, making it a versatile and memorable fragrance choice for any occasion.

What I have loved about this Discovery Set is just how different each scent is, yet at the same time proving difficult to pick one which stands out.  If you want punchy and zesty then Molecule 01 + Ginger ticks the boxes but at the same time so does Molecule 01 + Mandarin but in a different way.  I just love that there is so many different choices in one box and fun to layer if you like to create a unique scent.

Gaia - Introduction to Vegan Skincare

As I have mentioned previously, one of the things I enjoy the most about this hobby is being introduced to new brands that I might not ordinarily come across and today's brand is one of those. As part of my Gift Guide series for 2024, meet Gaia.
Gaia - Intro to Vegan Skincare
Gaia, a female-founded award-winning skincare, spa and wellness brand which was conceptualised alongside the five-star Gaia Spa at Boringdon Hall Hotel in Devon and is now enjoyed at 50 spas and hotels across the UK and Ireland. 

I was kindly sent the Introduction to Vegan Skincare kit (£30) and it features a selection of all-vegan products, this set offers nourishing skincare the way nature intended.
Gaia - Introduction to Vegan Skincare
Inside the box is a range of products for the face and body, including the award-winning Crystal Purifying Mask and Nourishing Cream, complemented with a muslin cloth to gently refresh the skin. Then there is the Awakening bath Oil and Balancing Body. This mini set allows you to sample the brand's range of ethically made vegan skincare.

Starting with the Purifying Mask which is said to combine the energy and healing properties of rose quartz crystal with the purest natural ingredients.  The rich pink hue comes from pomegranate and hibiscus, both packed with antioxidants that protect against damage and slow collagen breakdown. Pomegranate, a natural source of vitamin C, helps regulate sebum production and promotes cell rejuvenation, leaving your skin refreshed, firm, and silky smooth.

Then we have the Nourishing Cream and this is described as being jar full of the integrity of natural ingredients, the healing properties of rose quartz crystal and the aroma of blue tansy and subtle essential oils.  The vibrant blue tansy, rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, is a powerhouse ingredient in creams designed to nourish, calm, and soothe your skin.

My favourite product in this kit is the Awakening Bath Oil, described as being a natural and handmade containing GAIA's signature awakening blend and bespoke elixir. Using Organic sunflower and jojoba oils, combined with vitamin E to gently hydrate your skin, leaving it soft, smooth, and beautifully scented. The invigorating aromas of work to uplift your mood, inspiring a sense of renewal and optimism.

Then finally comes the Balancing Body Oil and it is a great addition to the routine following the use of the Bath Oil.  Again described as being a natural and handmade containing GAIA's balancing blend and bespoke elixir. This oil uses a blend of pure essential oils—lemon, ylang-ylang, and palmarosa which when combined with skin-soothing organic safflower and calendula oils work to promote a sense of peace and balance, leaving you feeling grounded and centered.

Inspired by Gaia, who if you didn't know, is the ancient Greek goddess known as mother nature. Worth also noting that GAIA Skincare products are handmade in Britain using traditional production methods and it is such a beautiful brand, I want to visit one of the spa's and try absolutely everything they have to offer.

The Ultimate Oil for Hair - Edition 29

Do you remember back in the day when everyone would swear by the holy grail of hair oil from VO5? The one you would float in a cup of hot water to make your hair feel incredible?  Well... life has moved on since them and hair oils have evolved and got a whole lot better and here is one I am about to share with you. 
CHES The Ultimate Oil Ed.29
I’ve been using Ches Editions - The Ultimate Hair Oil Ed.29 for a few weeks now, and I’m completely hooked! As someone with fine hair but a lot of it, finding the right product to smooth and hydrate without weighing my hair down has always been tricky—especially since I struggle with dry ends and greasy roots. But this luxurious hair oil has completely won me over.

Ches Editions - The Ultimate Hair Oil for Hair Edition 29 (£39) is a game-changer in the world of hair oils. Award-winning and free from silicones, it features the brand’s patented plant-based base oil and is a 100% natural formula that can be used as a mask, an intensive treatment, or for everyday nourishment. This multi-use oil is one of the most effective natural formulas I’ve found for hydration, growth, and shine, and it’s suitable for all hair types.

What really stands out is the blend of oils it contains—Camellia, Argan, Pumpkin Seed, Castor, and Cedarwood Atlas, as well as Bergamot, Rosemary, Black Pepper, and Neroli. And then there’s the scent which is a beautiful, deep combination of Jasmine, Mandarin, and Patchouli, I honestly wish could be bottled as a fragrance on its own.
CHES The Ultimate Oil Ed.29
Curious about the name Edition 29? It’s an odd one, especially since it’s not the 29th oil in the collection (there are just two in total), but in numerology, 29 is thought to symbolise the universe guiding us towards our true calling, which adds a lovely layer of meaning to the product.

What initially drew me to this oil was its rich yet lightweight texture. It absorbs instantly into my hair, leaving it nourished, soft, and silky smooth with no greasy residue. My ends, which usually feel dry and brittle, are now softer, healthier, and much more manageable. And the shine it adds? Absolutely gorgeous!

Priced at £39 for 50ml, if you want to try a non-greasy, lightweight, wonderfully scented hair oil, then look no further than this The Ultimate Oil.

INLight Beauty Body Recovery Kit

A brand that I have really enjoyed getting to know over the past year is INLight Beauty. Described as being a natural, organic Skincare and Beauty Brand that uses Science and Nature to fuse their our expertly formulated skincare collections which are designed to work with your skin, rather than only on it, bringing beauty to life.
INLight Beauty Body Recovery Kit
Handcrafted in Cornwall, UK, the brand is 100% Organic Certified and of course, Cruelty-free.

I have the INLight Body Recovery Kit (£27) to share today and if ever there is a way to introduce you to a brand, a gift set like this is definitely it.  The INLight Body Recovery Kit is made up of three products - The Firm and Tone Oil (30ml), the Rosemary & Hypericum Recovery Balm and the Foot Balm (15ml).
INLight Beauty Body Recovery Kit
Starting with the Firm & Tone Oil, if there's ever been a product that invites you to pause and inhale for its uplifting benefits, this is it. The fragrance alone is stunning, thanks to the vibrant notes of ylang ylang and geranium. 

Designed for all skin types, this oil is packed with a potent blend of active plant oils and astringent herbs that work together to tone, boost circulation, and encourage lymphatic drainage. Key ingredients include rosemary, known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, which also helps reduce swelling and calm redness. Evening primrose, rich in Vitamin E, supports skin elasticity, deeply nourishes, and offers anti-inflammatory benefits. Burdock root, celebrated for its detoxifying properties, helps to draw out impurities and supports the lymphatic system.

Next, we have the Foot Balm which is specially formulated to melt away rough, dry skin while soothing tired, aching feet and legs.

Designed to improve circulation and support weak veins, the balm combines the vasotonic and astringent properties of witch hazel and cypress with the healing, restorative qualities of marigold, lavender, and plantain. Together, these ingredients work to calm, tone, and nourish. This makes the balm perfect not only for massaging feet and legs but also for tackling dry or cracked heels.

The balm comes with a spatula, and I find that one scoop is plenty for each foot. If you're planning to use it on your legs as well, you may need more, but a little really does go a long way. For best results, apply the balm after bathing or showering when your feet are clean and fresh. Simply massage it into your toes, soles, and heels, paying extra attention to any dry or cracked areas. The balm melts quickly upon contact with the skin, so be mindful if you're planning to walk around afterwards.

The final product in this trio is the Rosemary & Hypericum Recovery Balm a product you didn’t know you needed until you tried it. This dynamic botanical balm is perfect for soothing aching joints and relieving tense, strained muscles. 

It features the calming properties of St. John’s Wort (Hypericum), which combats bacteria and inflammation while easing irritation. Meadow-sweet adds its anti-rheumatic benefits, helping to soothe discomfort, while also containing Salicylic Acid to support skin renewal. Ginger helps protect against oxidative stress and is known for easing joint pain, while Rosemary, with its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities, works to reduce swelling and calm redness.  Together, these powerful ingredients create a balm that’s not only deeply restorative but incredibly effective at targeting muscle tension and joint discomfort.

A really lovely gift set from INLight Beauty and most definitely a brand I want to learn more about and use more products from.

Origins Cleanse & Glow Essentials Gift Set

Finding the perfect beauty gift set for yourself, a friend, a work colleague or even a loved one is a lot of fun and the Origins Cleanse & Glow Essentials Gift Set is perfect for everyone on that list.
Origins Cleanse & Glow Essentials Gift Set
I have been using products from Origins for over 10 years and they are such a great brand.  This gift set is described as being the gift to give for radiant-looking skin, the Origins Cleanse & Glow Essentials Gift Set.

Inside the gift set, Origins have chosen to feature four skincare favourites, the collection includes a range of travel-sized essentials and is priced at just £40 (worth £53)
Origins Cleanse & Glow Essentials Gift Set
The first product inside this gift set is the GINZING™ SPF30 Moisturiser 50ml.  Featuring a lightweight texture, this day cream blends the protective benefits of SPF with the nourishing qualities of a moisturiser. Enriched with caffeine, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants, the formula revitalises and energises the skin's appearance.

The second product is the only product within this set I haven't used and it is the Checks & Balances™ Frothy Face Wash 30ml. Mild enough for daily use, this frothy face wash is infused with Broad Leaf Kelp Extract, Wheat Protein, and Tourmaline to cleanse and purify all skin types. It leaves both dry and oily areas feeling clean, refreshed, and balanced. The addition of invigorating Mint essential oil revitalises the senses. The clarifying foam effectively removes makeup and impurities, while a blend of humectants ensures the skin remains hydrated and doesn’t feel stripped.

The third product is just a delight to use and it is the Checks & Balances™ Milky Oil Cleanser + Makeup Remover 30ml.   A quick shake of the bottle transforms this oil-to-milk formula into a revitalising cleanser and makeup remover. Enriched with squalane and plant-derived glycerin, it softens the skin's feel, while rice and almond oils effectively dissolve impurities and long-wear makeup. The result is a clean, refreshed complexion.

The formula is divided into two phases:
  • OIL PHASE (top)** – Contains rice and almond oils to break down makeup and impurities.
  • WATER PHASE (bottom)** – Contains squalane and plant-derived glycerin to leave skin feeling soft.
This oil cleanser melts away makeup and debris, nourishing the skin as it cleanses for a silky-smooth finish.

Then finally comes the GINZING™ Brightening Eye Cream with Caffeine 5ml.  This is a luxurious formula designed to revitalise tired eyes while being gentle on the delicate eye area. Suitable for all skin types and ages, it uses natural optic brighteners to refresh and rejuvenate the skin, helping to diminish signs of fatigue.

Crafted with an advanced complex, this cream is enriched with energising coffee bean, radiance-boosting panax ginseng, and anti-inflammatory magnolia extract to reduce the look of dark circles, puffiness, and under-eye bags. The result is smoother, more radiant skin and eyes that appear youthful and refreshed.

This Origins Cleanse & Glow Essentials Gift set is priced at just £40 and is an absolute bargain to be had.

If I had the time to visit a spa regularly, then you can absolutely guarantee that I would be there, it has been well over year since I've had any form of pampering treatment, so instead I use products at home that give me that spa at home appeal and that is where brands such as Kear come in with their 'Spa at home' sets.

et al. Diffuse and Conceal Set

Already obsessed with et al and the Make-up brush set I shared on my blog as an amazing Christmas Gift but new to my collection is this amazing et al. Intelligent Skin Cream Concealer.
et al. Intelligent Skin Cream Concealer
When it comes to using a concealer, I am really really picky about the texture and how it feels on my skin and of the many hundreds of different options I have tried, I have perhaps managed to find three that I like and it includes this one from et al.

Available in 16 shades, each one indicated by a unique number and grouped into four different skin tone categories, Light, Medium, Tan and Deep and impressively  three different types of tones - Neutral (N), Warm (W) and Cool (C).

et al. Intelligent Skin Cream Concealer
I have shade 60w and it really works well with my skin tone, described as being more than just your reliable camouflage companion, this concealer is packed full of active skin-loving ingredients including Hydrachrysum™ + Phytoserene, which work together to help improve hydration and soothe your skin.   Alongside those ingredients is a whole host of others which are equally impressive and they include:
  • Tazman Pepper™ AF – The sensitive skin tamer
  • Allantoin – The hardworking skin healer
  • Squalane – The skin barrier builder
  • Aloe Vera Leaf Powder – The soother and smoother
  • Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract (Kakadu Plum) – The eco-friendly vitamin C source.
  • Vitamin E – The powerful antioxidant
Packaged in a recyclable luxe tube, this concealer features a soft doe-foot applicator for easy and precise application. For me, a good concealer needs to be lightweight while still providing coverage, and most importantly, it mustn’t pill under my eyes—a common issue with many other brands. I also appreciate the flexibility of blending it with either my fingers or a brush, depending on my preference. But above all, I look for a concealer that *actually* conceals—whether it’s dark circles, blemishes, or other imperfections. I don’t want to rely on foundation or tinted moisturizer to do all the work.

The *et al. Concealer* ticks all the boxes. It’s lightweight and creamy, yet buildable, and I find it incredibly soothing under my eyes. A tiny amount is enough to quickly conceal and even out discoloration, and it works wonders at reducing redness and brightening the under-eye area for a refreshed, more awake look.

With its beautifully natural finish, it effectively hides blemishes without drawing attention to them. The formula builds seamlessly, going from sheer, natural coverage to medium coverage in just a few layers. Plus, it’s comfortable to wear, never cakes or settles into fine lines—an absolute must for an under-eye concealer!

Also included with this concealer is the et al. Diffusing Concealer Brush which is a flat, feathery + precisely cut to provide effortless concealer application for a diffused finish
et al. Intelligent Skin Cream Concealer
With its super soft bristles and its precision cut, it gets to the more difficult angles to help seamlessly blend the concealer.

Priced at just £39 via et al, or Harvey Nichols, together this makes a great gift for someone who loves makeup and it is also completely vegan and cruelty-free.
