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.

Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow

Simba Black Friday
When you think about how much time we spend in bed, it is so important to make sure you are comfortable, ensure your questions such as how high should my bed be, do I have the right mattress and pillow, all of which should help you get that restful nights sleep and of course, the temperature has to be right too.  

Below I have listed some of the amazing offers from Simba for Black Friday.
Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow
Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow
I am someone who doesn't sleep very well at all. I can drop off into the land of nod within minutes of a film starting, but I don't stay asleep and it is very annoying. Over the years I have changed my duvets, bought a weighted blanket, a mattress topper and just recently was given the opportunity to try the Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow.

The team over at Simba are masters in their own products and have a lot of advice to offer, whether it is how to take care of your Simba Double Mattress with items such as the european double mattress protectors  or even advice on what product you really need.

I have always used a mattress protector on my bed and mainly because the benefits outweigh the negatives, for example 
  • Protects against odours.
  • Prolongs the life of your mattress
  • Improves mattress hygiene.
  • Looks after your mattress.
  • Is easy to keep clean.
  • Prevents wear and tear
Alongside have a good protected mattress is having a good pillow and once you’ve found that perfect pillow, there is no going back. 

The Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow is said to be perfect for those of us who love a firm pillow and I definitely do. 
Lovers of firm pillows, this one’s for you. Discover the more supported sleep you’ve been dreaming of, thanks to an inner pillow of foam-enclosed Aerocoil® springs; just layer it up with the two softer pillows of Simba Renew in the order you prefer. Includes a cool, cotton cover with Stratos heat control tech.
For me, the best part of this pillow is that Stratos heat control tech, described as being an advanced technology that has been added to one side of the pillow cover.

It’s designed to provide fabric with instant coolness to the touch, but it also enables it to draw away excess heat, keeping you cool and dry, Simba refer to it as being a sort of pillow thermostat. I really dislike a hot pillow, there is nothing worse than being woken up to have to turn your pillow over because it is too hot, so far with this one, I haven't had this issue!

The pillow also boasts of having:
  • Two Simba Renew Pillows - Super-soft Simba Renew fibres cushion your head as gently as feather and down, but hold their shape rather than flatten over time.
  • Breathable Mesh Border - A breathable mesh border enables fresh air to circulate through the pillow’s layers.
  • Aerocoil® firm layer - A Hybrid layer of Simba Pure® foam and tiny, titanium alloy Aerocoil® springs keeps your head perfectly supported.
  • 100% Better Cotton Cover - All of the cotton used by Simba is sourced via the Better Cotton initiative, which works to reduce the environmental impact of cotton production.
All of this aside, for me what I love about this pillow is that you can adjust the illow depending on how you sleep and it is a little big genius. As mentioned, inside the pillow you have 3 inner layers and by adjusting those to fit sleeping style helps you to find your preferred level of firmness as shown below:
Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow
It isn't difficult to see why people rave about Simba products, who knew that a pillow could make and offer so much improvement to a bedtime routine, even if you are not laying down to sleep, this pillow gives amazing lumber support whilst you are reading or watching a film too.

The Simba Hybrid® Firm Pillow is usually priced at £159 but with Black Friday on the horizon it does now come with 25% off and if you want that comfortable nights sleep, this pillow is a purchase you will not regret!
