Molton Brown Merry Berries & Mimosa Limited Edition Collection

 

Step into Christmas with the exquisite new limited edition festive collection from Molton Brown.

Say hello to Merry Berries & Mimosa.

This glorious new scent offers an elegant floral-fruity experience, bursting with red berries, precious mimosa, winter citruses and a soothing musky-woody base.

 

 

Merry Berries & Mimosa opens with notes of sweet, candied red berries and zesty mandarin before a soft floral heart of mimosa absolute and almond mingles to create a gorgeous and comforting aroma.

Base notes of juicy, ripe raspberry offers a delicious fruitiness creating a wonderfully juicy, soft and joyful festive scent.

Available as a bath and shower gel, a body lotion, festive bauble and a candle, there’s everything you could possibly need to create a truly luxurious bathing experience from start to finish.

 

 

I just adore Molton Brown’s festive baubles.

They make the most perfect secret Santa or token gift at Christmas thanks to their exquisite appearance and excellent price point of just £14.

Beautifully presented within a seasonally red and dazzling gold, vintage rattan printed box you’ll find a rich, wine coloured bauble flecked with gold sparkle.

 

 

Unique, elegant and quite simply gorgeous to behold, the bauble catches the light perfectly, twinkling as it does.

Remove the gold lid and pour under warm running water to enjoy the sumptuous scent as it mingles with the warmth in the bathroom, swirling around you, drawing you in, offering both comfort and delight.

The gel creates a plethora of super soft, frothy bubbles to gently cleanse your skin, leaving behind an invisible veil of scent to carry you throughout the rest of your day or evening.

 

 

Intensify your Merry Berries & Mimosa ritual with the addition of their luxurious Signature Candle.

Mirroring the packaging design of the entire line, both the box and the candle itself has been draped in a soft wine-red hue with gold rattan details.

 

 

Exuding an air of opulence in its lavish appearance, this charming candle creates the most wonderful scent which lingers, bringing a sense of wellbeing, comfort and calm into your home, while its festive notes can’t help but evoke memories of Christmases past.

Joyful, delectable and uplifting, this could be one of my all-time favourite limited edition collections from Molton Brown.

 

 

Molton Brown’s Merry Berries & Mimosa collection is available now with a bauble retailing at £14 and the candle at £42.

As if all this wasn’t enough, each item within the collection costs just £4 each.

 

Its worth noting that the body wash, bubble bath and shampoo come in jumbo 500ml bottles so you’re going to get to enjoy these products for a really decent length of time before needing to replenish too.

The Fine Scottish Soap Company Au Lait Collection

 As far as I’m concerned, there is literally nothing better than sinking into a warm, comforting bath after a long hard day.

I can almost feel the stresses and strains of the day melt away as the soothing, warm water envelops my aching body and tired mind.

Traditionally I’ve always been a fan of highly scented, frothy bubble baths but from time to time I fancy something a little different.

Something softer, calmer, more soothing, and this is where The Scottish Fine Soaps company comes in.

They have the most exquisite range within their collection called ‘Au Lait’, which for those of you who don’t speak French simply means ‘milk’.

 

This understated yet decadent line up has been the company’s best-selling collection for over 20 years and its not at all difficult to see why.

Presented in cute, kitsch packaging which honours the key ingredient of organic milk, the beautiful line wraps your skin in a sensual softness and its delicate, sweet, soft scent envelops your senses in a cloud of comforting warmth.

I absolutely had to get my hands on their Au Lait Bathing Milk (£8.99).

 

Captured within an elegant, retro glass vessel which has been designed to resemble a milk bottle from yester year you’ll find the creamiest, most luxurious bathing milk.

Enriched with skin conditioning Vitamin E, sweet almond oil, soothing aloe vera and wonderfully softening shea butter, it has been expertly blended with the natural goodness of real, organic milk to bring a touch of luxury to your bath.

 

It has the most beautiful aroma, creamy, milky and yet deliciously light.

Poured under warm running water, it transforms your bath water into an indulgent, milky, nourishing bathing experience.

Better still, to my surprise this milk provides heaps of plentiful, soft, frothy bubbles!

 

Unlike many other bubble baths however, the Au Lait Bathing Milk doesn’t cause any irritation to my sensitive, eczema-prone skin.

It is ever-so nourishing, creating an invisible veil of moisture on your skin leaving you feeling clean and smelling incredible, while your body is left feeling wonderfully smooth and comfortable.

 

Another gorgeous product from this collection that I just had to try is their multi award winning Au Lait Milk Bath Powder (£14.99).

Marginally more expensive than the bath milk but still super affordable, this bathing powder is a real insta-worthy product!

Just check out the fabulous milk churn packaging!

Enriched with chamomile and featuring a cotton-fresh scent, it contains real milk powder to effortlessly condition and soothe your skin.

 

Finely milled and plentiful in quantity, simple pour a generous amount into warm running water and swirl to create a bath full of deliciously creamy, soft bubbles.

I adore the combination of the soothing scent paired with its skin conditioning qualities and delightful bubbles.

 

They really are the best bathing products to help you relax and unwind!

The Fine Scottish Soap company’s Au Lait collection is available online now.

Philosophy Fresh Cream

I love a pampering and I love soft, sweet comforting scents so when I stumbled across Philosophy's Fresh Cream 3-in-1 shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath I was on a very fluffy cloud 9.

Winner of QVC's customer choice beauty awards in 2018, this decadent , rich, creamy gel gently cleanses both your body and hair leaving behind the lingering aroma of sweet, creamy, milky vanilla.

Sweet but not too sweet, soft but not bland, it is a the perfect blend.

Run under warm running water and enjoy a bath full of plentiful, frothy bubbles. Dispense onto a sponge for a luxuriously soft cleansing experience or use as shsmooo for a rich lather that leaves your locks squeaky clean. 

To give you a more in-depth insight into the scent, look to the accompanying spray fragrance.

Fresh Cream offers a delicately sweet scent with an indulging blend of creamy vanilla, sweet macadamia and spun sugar to create a delightfully smooth silky treat. 

Essence of freshly whipped cream is enhanced by the soft floral notes of almond blossom,heliotrope, Tonya bean and decadent vanilla milk.

It's simply divine.

I then discovered they had a matching flavoured lip gloss and I was ALL over that!

Presented in a sleek, chic, transparent tube you'll find a high gloss, high flavour lip sheen to nourish and pamper dry lips while smelling delectable and tasting equally scrummy!

It offers a sheer colour and super shine, but if I'm honest it doesn't last long enough on my lips to reap the hydrating  benefits as I'm always licking it off!

This type of fragrance that makes you smell good and makes you feel good is a winner for me.

My one any only gripe is that to get your hands on this  delicious duo in the UK is to purchase them via two seperate collections on QVC.

Treat your body with the Philosophy Deserts 3 Piece Supersize Collection & opt for "Fresh Cream" where you'll receive a 

Fresh Cream Shower Gel (946ml), a Fresh Cream Body Lotion (946ml) plus a Fresh Cream Spritz (480ml) for the special price of £63.

For the Delicious lip gloss you'll need to head to the Philosophy 6 Piece Party Lips Collection which comprises of 6 lip shines in Mixed Berry Tart, Melon Daquiri, Vanilla Birthday Cake, Coconut Frosting, Sugar Sprinkles and Fresh Cream for £34.

Given how lush my Fresh Cream products are, I'm very tempted to expand my range!

You can find the above products available for sale now at QVC. 

The Body Shop Juicy Strawberry Valentine’s Love Heart

Made with cold-pressed strawberry seed oil from leftover jam making, this trio really do smell good enough to eat!

Finally, ensure your lips are left in tip top condition with the decadently scented lip butter.
