Featuring an expansive collection of skincare, make up and fragrance gift sets at various price points, whether you’re looking for a secret Santa type gift or a bumper hamper style present, there’s a gift for you and your loved one.
The gifting collection is exquisitely presented with playful, sweet candy coloured hues and bon bon inspired stripes, reminiscent of sweet treats of Christmases past.
I got my hands on the gorgeous Must-Have Makeup Set and boy is this a real treat!
Neatly nestled within the cutest pink and silver tin covered in candy striped lips you’ll find four effortless essentials from Clinique to help you achieve your most stunning yet natural beauty look yet.
Carefully curated to allow you to create a glowing look In minimal time, each item has been selected due to its universally flattering appeal and gentle formulas, making them suitable for all skin types.
The first item that will catch your eye upon revealing the lid is the stunning Cheek Pop™ Highlighter in Celebration Pop.
This absolutely fabulous highlighter captures the radiance and beauty of nature thanks to its daisy shaped presentation.
Featuring a warm toned, light gold hue it is the perfect shade for injecting some luminosity into a dull, flat looking complexion.
Silky soft and rich in texture, it offers flawless, even coverage in just a sweep of a brush, imparting some serious illumination to cheekbones, brow bones or indeed anywhere else that you wish to highlight.
Easy to blend and build, it creates a soft, metallic sheen without a hint of sparkle or shimmer, making it perfect for everyday wear.
That said, should you be looking for a more powerful glow then it delivers on this too, simply add a little more and build to your hearts content.
Soft, feather-light and silky, it won’t even feel like you’re wearing it.
Sticking with the effortless beauty look, you’ll also find the cutest mini of Clinique’s Almost Lipstick in Black Honey.
As its name may suggest, this little bullet of joy is almost a lipstick, but yet not quite.
Featuring a glossy, sheer, non staining lip colour in a warm almost-burgandy hue, it is what I would describe as a lipbalm-lipstick hybrid.
Not quite lipstick, not quite gloss, it has become a firm brand favourite thanks to its decadent, softening texture which is more like a balm.
Combining the benefits of both a lipstick and a gloss, it offers a subtle yet noticeable pop of colour to brighten and lift your lips with the light diffusing shine of a gloss.
Its universally flattering, transparent pigment glides across your lips offering a slip of lightweight colour while its emollient rich formula deeply nourishes and moisturises dry, parched lips for a supremely comfortable wear.
Whether you wear this alone to give your lips a boost or layer over lipstick, it should be a handbag staple for everyone.
After all, its not a bestseller for nothing!
No makeup look would be complete without a slick of mascara, so of course you’ll find a mini of Clinique’s iconic High Impact™ Mascara in Black inside this set.
This gentle mascara is suitable for all skin types and offers both volume and length to your lashes for instant drama.
Its silky, luxurious texture glides across each and every lash with ease while the soft bristles of the wand grab and lift your lashes to noticeable thicken and lengthen.
Its glossy formula creates lushes, plusher bolder lashes while its smooth, deep colour creates serious impact.
Its non-clumping, non-flaking formula will see you through from evening to night and its delicate formula ensures a comfortable, non irritating wear.
Finally we have a mini Pretty Easy™ Liquid Eyelining Pen in Black.
I get that eyeliner isn’t an every-day essential for many, however there is nothing more striking than a sleek slick of eyeliner to complete your look and truly define your eyes.
This eyeliner pen is one of my personal favourite for two reasons; firstly, it doesn’t aggravate the delicate skin around my eyes, secondly it is an absolute breeze to apply thanks to it tapered, precision brush nib.
Boasting 24-hour smudge and budge-resistant wear, this elegant pen paints on pure, deep colour from thick to thin, allowing you to create a flawless, clean line in one steady sweep.
Silky and rich in colour, the pigments hug your skin without creasing, cracking or flaking and the felt tip pen design allows you to create the perfect curved line without making mistakes.
The result? A beautifully radiant complexion with maximum effect for minimal effort.
Just brilliant!
