It only feels like two minutes ago that I was writing up last years Gift Guide series! This year I've decided to do things a little differently. If you follow me on my socials, you'll know that this year I purchased my first home. So between working, and trying to settle into my home whilst also decorating, I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew. So this year I'm only posting one gift guide - The Ultimate Beauty Gift Guide. Beauty guides are usually the ones I read the most as not only do I find some great gift ideas for friends & family, but I actually find a lot of things to put on my own Christmas list! So here is my 2021 Ultimate Beauty Gift Guide:
L'Occitane Néroli & Orchidée Intense Gift Set & Festive Crackers
Year after year L'Occitane don't disappoint when it comes to their Christmas Gift Sets. This year one of my top recommendations would be their Néroli & Orchidée Intense Gift Set. With notes of Neroli, Vanilla and Sweet Orange, this scent will be the perfect pick this festive season. Inside this stunning decorative gift box, you'll find three hero products in this scent - an Eau De Toilette, Shower Gel, and Hand Cream. And as always, this gift set comes in the most gorgeously decorated festive box. But that doesn't come as any surprise to me as L'Occitane always kill it with their Christmas themed packaging!
Whilst we're discussing all things L'Occitane, I have to give a shoutout to their festive crackers! Now I've mentioned this in a couple of gift guides previously, but they really do make the best stocking fillers. Each on is filled with a matching mini shower gel and hand cream making them the cutest little gift.
Feather & Down Christmas Gift Ranges
Feather & Down are a brand I'm fairly new to but have totally fallen in love with their products! I've mentioned before I go through phases of insomnia and bad sleeping patterns and have tried various products to help my quality of sleep improve. So finding a brand like Feather & Down who specialise in these kind of products is great for me!
They have a great range of gift sets available in time for Christmas. I have four (pictured here) which you can find all the details about below:
1. Feather & Down Festive Cracker contains 1x Pillow Spray and Eye Mask.
2. Feather & Down Sleeping Beauty Set contains 1x Pillow Spray and Sweet Dreams Essential Oil & Burner.
3. Feather & Down Essentials Set contains 1x Pillow Spray, All Purpose Sleep Balm, Melting Shower Cream and Sleep Butter.
4. Feather & Down Ultimate Sleep Set contains 1x Pillow Spray, Melting Shower Cream and Body Lotion.
Temple Spa Time To Glow Gift Set and Restitude Shower & Bath Luxe
Moving onto skincare now, one of my all time favourite brands is Temple Spa. Ironically, I did discover the brand whilst at a spa day, and ever since have invested in a good handful of their products and found some skincare staples. This year Temple Spa are offering hand curated skincare gift sets for Christmas so you can really pick out the best products for your skin type and needs. I picked up the Time To Glow Gift Set which focuses on giving your skin that healthy, radiant complexion. Inside you'll find their Most Revealing Skin Peel, Glowcolic Toner, Sugar Buff Fresh Body Scrub, Smooth Talk Lip Scrub and a Luxury Headband. I highly rate the quality of their products and as I always say - skincare in an investment so making sure you're using the best quality products is super important.
Speaking of luxurious products, I also want to give some love to the Temple Spa Restitutde Shower & Bath Luxe. This luxurious, creamy bubble bath is the perfect addition to your relaxing night in. Packed with essential oils this product is formulated to calm and relax the mind, as well as soothe and ease your muscles.
Magnitone Pore Patrol
Yet again Magnitone have come out with another hit skincare product - the Pore Patrol Extracting System. Designed to remove pesky blackheads, this handy little device would make a great gift for all skincare lovers. The Pore Patrol comes with five interchangeable heads, each of which has five strength settings so you can customise it to your skin. Glide softly across your skin to use, and watch as this fantastic device sucks up all your blackheads and dirt trapped in your pores!
Floral Street Home & Fragrance Offer
Floral Street are a great brand for the fragrance lovers as they offer a Pick & Mix service on their website which gives you a great deal on your choice of preferred products. Two of my all time favourite products from Floral Street are their Candles or Diffusers, and their Eau De Parfum, which is I'd recommend checking out the Home & Fragrance Pick & Mix Offer in particular. This offer allows you to pick out any fragrance, and any candle for £70 which saves you £24 compared to if you bought the products individually. I opted for the Wild Vanilla Orchid Eau De Parfum and Midnight Tulip Candle.
KVD Beauty Purrfect Cat Eyes Gift Set
Moving onto makeup now, I found it hard to pick which makeup gift sets to include in this years gift guides as theres so many great ones this year. First off is a great little set from KVD Beauty which I think would make a fantastic stocking filler. This gift set contains two of their holy grail products - the Go Big or Go Home Mascara, and the award winning Tattoo Liner. If you keep up with the online beauty community then you'll know how much people rave about the Tattoo Liner - and I totally agree! It's hands down the best liquid eyeliner pen I've ever tried.
Nudestix Brows & Lashes 3 Piece Kit
Another handy little makeup gift that would be great for Christmas, is the Brows & Lashes 3 Piece Kit from Nudestix. Before we get into whats inside, I love the packaging of this set! All three of the products come in a sleek travel tin making it super easy to carry on the go. Inside the tin you'll find a full size Brow Boost & Set Gel, a travel sized Lengthening Mascara, and travel sized Magnetic Luminous Eye Colour in the shade Nudity.
StylPro Makeup Brush Cleaner & Dryer
One beauty product I've been so eager to try for a while now is the StylePro Makeup Brush Cleaner. Let's be honest, washing our makeup products is such a chore, and if I'm being honest I definitely don't wash my brushes as often as I should. But with the StylPro, it makes cleaning your brushes super quick and easy. The StylPro comes with eight different brush attachments so don't worry about your makeup brushes not fitting. Not only does this device save you a lot of time when cleaning your brushes, but also it also dries them too - which we all know usually takes hours!
Spectrum Malachite Hamper
Speaking of makeup brushes, the final gift suggestion I have to share with you is the Malachite Hamper from Spectrum. I have feature a couple of gift sets from Spectrum in the past as they are know for their high quality makeup brushes and adorable designs. Well this year Spectrum are offering the best of the best with their luxury hampers.
Which products from this guide would you add to your Christmas list?
