TJ Hughes Christmas Gifts PLUS £60 Gift Card GIVEAWAY!

Who doesn’t spend hours online sourcing better prices for their beauty products or hoping there is a discount code lurking somewhere? I am one of those people who will put the effort into finding the absolute best price and in my time, I’ve had some real bargains.  One of those bargains came from TJ Hughes a few years ago with a gift for my mum. This year I have been I was kindly gifted a few items from the TJ Hughes Christmas Range and they have also kindly given me a £60 voucher to give away to one of you. 

If you have never heard of TJ Hughes before, they are a discount department store chain who specialises in everything from homeware and electrical goods to clothing and beauty. As well as having an online presence, they also have physical stores too, the nearest one for me living in London being Harlow. TJ Hughes first started trading in 1912 and since day one they have been offering customers premium brands at discounted prices up to 70% off RRP. Their aim is to provide savvy shoppers with top brands at affordable and competitive prices and those brands include Remington, Clinique, French Connection and Fiorelli to name just a few.

My hubby is a tad obsessed with aftershaves, he probably has one for every day of the week for 3 months without having to wear the same one twice! So my first gift of choice was from Issey Miyake with L'Eau Bleu d'Issey Eau Fraiche.  As a fragrance, it is one which has been around for quite a few years but has somehow escaped the misters' collection.

Described as being a Floral Woody Musk, it features top notes of rosemary, bergamot and mint, heart notes of mate herb, pink pepper and may rose before closing with the base notes of musk and patchouli.  It is a really lovely fresh peppery scent which is just beautiful as both the rosemary and the mint fight for your attention, as it settles on the skin the musk and patchouli really linger.  L'Eau Bleu d'Issey Eau Fraiche has an RRP £36 but with TJ Hughes it costs just £18.95.

The following products for this little TJ Hughes gift guide come from Baylies and Harding with a selection of Gift Sets and this is a first for me with this brand, it is one I have heard and read so much about, but until now, had never tried. The first two gift sets I chose have come from the men's section and they are the Baylis and Harding Citrus, Lime and Mint Grooming Trio Gift Set and the Baylis and Harding Men's Black pepper & Ginseng Travel Essential Gift Set, both of which are amazingly discounted.

The Citrus, Lime and Mint Grooming Trio includes a 300ml Hair & Body Wash, a 200ml Shower Gel and a 200ml Aftershave Balm.  Each one of these products is fragranced with Citrus, Lime and Mint which not only gives a truly refreshing scent of woody base notes alongside the freshness of lime and bergamot.  

The body wash and shower gel work to cleanse the skin and to leave it with a fresh lingering aroma and the aftershave balm soothes and nourishes the skin.  This has the kind of scent that I would be willing to bathe in.  This set has an RRP £15 and from TJ Hughes it is priced at £12.99.

The second set which is the Baylis and Harding Men's Black pepper & Ginseng Travel Essential Gift Set is one I chose because the mister travels a lot with work and this set is really handy to have.  Inside there is a 100ml Hair & Body Wash, 100ml Face Wash, a 50ml Shower Gel and a 50ml Aftershave Balm. Again, this is another scent I absolutely love and is also one I would be more than happy to use too. 

It features a Black Pepper and Ginseng fragrance which is described as being a sophisticated, yet stimulating, blend of fruity, spicy top notes and rich sandalwood and cedar base notes, one which is definitely more masculine than feminine but a fragrance I really love. This set has an RRP £12 but with TJ Hughes it costs just £9.99.

The final item within this collection is all for me and it is the Baylies and Harding Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Ultimate Bathing Gift Set. This really is quite the gift set and it features everything you need for that at-home spa session on a Sunday afternoon.

Inside the box you will find a 300ml Refreshing Body Wash, a 300ml Luxury Bath Milk, a 130ml Luxury Shower Crème, a 130ml Moisturising Body Lotion, a 150g Cleansing Soap and 100g Bath Soak Crystals.  

This scent is said to be Baylies and Harding most popular and I can see why. The Sweet Mandarin and Grapefruit scent is wonderfully refreshing at the same time as being zesty and the fragrance works through every single product within the box. I absolutely love the luxury bath milk, it is by far my most favourite to use and that follows with the Refreshing Body Wash which is perfect for those cold winter mornings to wake you up. This gift set has an RRP £25 but with TJ Hughes it costs just £14.99 which is such a great saving.

LightStim for Wrinkles + Giveaway

You are never too young to be thinking about wrinkles, it is something I have been fretting about since my teens and I use one or two lotions and potions which promise to help slow down the ageing process. Back in October last year, I blogged about a device called LightStim which is the first LED device approved by the US Food and Drug Administration which is intended for the treatment of wrinkles on the entire face. The device in question is hand held and looks like a shower head, only it isn't. It uses 72 therapeutic LED lights which you hold against your skin on those areas you wish to target. LightStim emits a soothing warmth, it is totally painless and can be used to treat your forehead, crows feet, cheeks, smile lines, jawline, neck, decollete and hands.

I have continued to use this device and it is totally painfree, the one thing I do love is that there is a little bit of warmth which is created. After being plugged in you simply hold the device against your skin for around three minutes in each place you wish to treat, the red LED lights are said to work by stimulating your natural collagen and elastin production which in turns helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, the volume of collagen and elastin in the skin decreases and this allows lines and wrinkles to form. 

The claims are that this device will:

• Reduce and eliminate fine lines and wrinkles
• Restore your skin's youthful appearance
• Stimulate the production of collagen and elastin

Now to date I have had no issues with using LightStim and I actually find it quite therapeutic to use whilst I am reading in bed.  I have seen no wrinkles creeping their way onto and into my skin and having arrived in my mid thirties, I have to say it is pretty impressive.

I am a huge fan of this device and love using it but as you can image, it does come with a price tag of around £250.  However, do not despair because I have one device to give away to you lovely lot so that you can try it for yourself and see how good it is.  As always there is a Rafflecopter widget below to be completed and obviously there are some mandatory entries which must be completed, otherwise your entry will be null and void.

It is a UK only giveaway this time and I will need your email address, so please make sure you are over 16 or have your parents permission to give me your personal data before entering.  The winner will be chosen at random and contacted within 24 hours of the competition ending.

Good luck!

How to Control Frizz on Your Winter Holiday + Winter Sun Giveaway

Now winter is on its way your hair is probably used to the cold, rainy weather here in Britain but once you step off that plane on your winter holiday this year into the heat and humidity of lands afar, the chances are frizz will attack. 

Even if you’re lucky enough to escape the heat then, by the time you’ve been in and out of the sea you’re almost certainly going to fall victim to flyaway hairs and messy tangles. So what can you do to control your frizzy hair whilst you’re away on holiday this winter? Here are my top tips on how to tame those locks and maintain the perfect hair on holiday. 

Hydrate Your Hair 

Damaged, dry hair usually means that the cuticles of your hair have been raised and it is this damage to the cuticles that cause your hair to appear frizzy. To help combat this problem, make sure that you’re using a moisturising shampoo and conditioner and try using a hair mask to help re-hydrate your locks.

Use What Nature Gave You

Your hair contains natural oils that help to combat frizz without even having to touch a bottle of hair care product. Avoid washing your hair every day to allow the natural oils to do their thing and use a boar-bristle hairbrush to help distribute these oils across your hair evenly. 

Don’t Over-Style Your Hair 

Being away on holiday gives you the chance to bathe in the endless sunshine, take a dip in the hotel pool or even splash around in the crystal blue sea. But all that sun exposure, chlorine and sea salt, unfortunately, isn’t so appealing to your poor hair. Understandably you want to glam yourself up as you hit the town in the evening but the trick to escape frizz is to not style your hair too much. 

Avoid blow drying your hair and if possible, try to find a style that suits you that doesn’t involve any heat styling at all. If you’re lucky enough to get natural beach waves, enhance these curls with a sea-salt spray or even use specially designed curly hair products to help add more shape and definition. If your hair can’t be tamed so easily try a simple up-do or an easy plait to keep your hair away from of your face.

To all my fabulous readers, I have been offered the chance of a giveaway, it is UK only and the winner will need to be aged 16 or over (or have parental consent because I will need your address) and you can win:

• 1 x Sheer Blonde bag
• 1 x Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Shampoo
• 1 x Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner

All you need to do is complete the form below - Good Luck

Some of the options are Mandatory and must be completed if they are not done so (and I check everyone) your entries will be removed from the competition.

Emjoi Micro Pedi Mini + Giveaway

When asked if I would like to try the Emjoi Micro Pedi Mini foot file with roller, I jumped at the chance.  With a holiday looming and needing to make sure my feet are in the best possible condition they can be, I needed all the help I could get.  Yes I have a hatred of feet, especially other peoples and cannot stand them being touched, even if it is me. 

The Emjoi Micro Pedi first launched on QVC in the UK at QVC.  Described as being a portable, battery-operated device which features a unique micro-mineral crystal roller for use on tough skin including cracked heels, calluses and corns, also gently and effectively exfoliates and buffs away dry, hard and rough skin - stomach churning stuff but important all the same.

Inside the box is the Micro Pedi and a brush for cleaning. It features a protective cover and a safety switch. The device needs two AA batteries which do not come with it, but a soon as they are loaded in you are good to go. The first thing I noticed about this device was the rubberised handles on the side, making it easy to grip onto, it is quite small in size, possibly lighter and smaller than your iPhone, but it fits into the palm of my hand perfectly.

To use you are advised to ensure you feet have been properly washed and dried and then once you are ready simply switch the device on, it comes with the roller in place, and then using gentle back and forth, side to side motion over your feet, you will notice the dead and dry skin coming away. A bit of advice, have a towel underneath your feet! If you have harder skin on certain parts of your feet, you are advised not too press too hard otherwise the devise will switch itself off, instead just complete the actions mentioned above.

Now my feet are as looked after as every other part of my body.  I regularly exfoliate and moisturise but because I have been wearing my Fitflops for the last week, I have noticed slight patches of dry skin on the soles of my feet toward the heel, which no-one else but me would notice, but it is the perfect excuse to try this machine out.

The Micro Pedi states you will have smooth and soft feet in seconds because the "unique micro-mineral roller spins 360⁰ at 30 times a second, quickly, painlessly and safely removing microscopic layers of hard skin on the soles and heels, giving immediate results".  So batteries in and on button located, the roller starts to spin quite quickly and then as you apply it to your feet, there is a slight tickling sensation, but you then see bits of what is best described as dust falling onto your towel so you can see it working, rather than show you my feet, you can see what I am talking about in the photo below.

To use this device on both feet took just a couple of minutes, gone was the hard skin and in its place, soft smooth skin and it was both pain and hassle free.

I have a giveaway for you lovely readers and 

it is this fantastic prize:

Nails Inc Electronic Foot File Kit - Powered by MICRO Pedi

This kit contains everything you need for fabulous feet in seconds. The electronic foot file powers mineral rollers to gently buff away hard and rough skin leaving your feet amazingly smooth and soft. We have also included two of our favourite Nails Inc Polishes so you can give your nails some love and complete your pedicure. Fabulous feet has never been easier.

Contains:

- Nails Inc Electric Foot File and Mineral Roller (2 x AA Batteries are not included)

- Cleaning Brush

- Two Nails Inc Nail Polishes - Porchester Place and Brook Street
