Fragrance

Fragrances can be a mine field, but I have picked out for you a little inspiration. Everyone likes a scent or two and these would all be amazing in anyone’s scent wardrobe.

The Seven Virtues ‍

An indie fragrance brand which launched in the UK alongside Sephora this autumn. I had the pleasure in meeting the founder and she was just a delight. Her fragrances are stunning, and I actually fell in love with one to learn it was secret and not launched yet so we will have to save that for another day, but I did manage to get my hands on the bestselling Vanilla Woods.

All of the brand’s fragrances have 22% fragrance oils for a long-lasting scent and are designed to have a positive impact on your wellbeing as well as making you smell good, so you get a whole experience. The brand also supports education and healthcare systems and provides families who work in the fair trading of their Madagascan Vanilla which is in this fragrance with a fair wage. A brand that gives back!

Makeup

Who does not love new makeup, especially for Christmas. I love getting ready on boxing day with all my new beauty products. New knocker, new socks and new makeup and I feel like a new person when I entertain my family over Christmas. You absolutely cannot go wrong with a makeup gift for anyone that loves makeup. Of course, my choices are high end and luxury to coincide with this Christmas Gift guide theme.

Natasha Denona Palettes

Any makeup lovers out there need these luxurious palettes in their collection. The pigment of these shadows is just magnificent, and they are so buttery they let onto the lids blending seamlessly. Natasha now has quite an array of palettes in her brand, but my absolute faves are these two. So wearable and versatile. I also feel like you can create so many looks from each 15-pan palette.

The also scream luxury with their packaging and huge compact mirrors. You can certainly do your whole face in this mirror!

Hourglass Unlocked Palette

Hourglass holiday palettes is about the only holiday release that gets me excited every year. Only because I use their palettes nearly every time, I wear makeup. Their powders and how they catch the light and make your skin look are amongst my absolute faves and so that makes them worth every single penny. This year they have bought out three palettes instead of their usual one in support of the Nonhiman Rights Project, 5 % of the profit from each sold goes to the project. Each palette caters for different skin tones again this is a first as some of the palettes bearing in mind, they only used to release one a year did not cater for all. This would make a perfect gift for anyone that loves a good blusher/ bronzer.

The three available are: -

Elephant Unlocked – six pans featuring two bestselling powders plus four new shades of bronzer, highlighter and blush. I would say this one is best for light/ mid skin tones.  

Butterfly Unlocked  – six pans featuring two powders, one highlighter and four new shades of blush. I would say this one is best for light skin tones.  

Tiger Unlocked (photographed) – six pans featuring two bestselling powders and four new shades of blushers, bronzers and highlighters.

RRP £78.00 each – available at Cult beauty, spaceNK & John Lewis

Body care
