Ted Baker Pout Perfection Gift Set

 Give the gift of gorgeous lips this Christmas with Ted Baker’s Pout Perfection Gift Set.

This stunning gift set is so beautifully presented it’s a real treat to behold.

 

 

Containing an impressive collection of lip goodies, hidden within you’ll find everything you need to ensure that your lips are looking gorgeous for those ‘under the mistletoe’ moments this festive season.

This elegant set is presented within a box which resembles a book. Bound with rose gold and featuring elegant white flowers against a deep, luxurious navy backdrop, it would look simply divine on any dressing table.

 

 

Open the book to reveal the treasures hidden within.

The inside page features the words ‘Indulge in Pout Perfection for Luscious Lips’ and boy they weren’t kidding.

 

 

This gift set contains a lip mask, nude lip liner, raspberry lip liner, berry lip balm, nude lip balm and a multi-faceted compact mirror.

The products have been wrapped in the same decadent navy as the book, complete with elegant rose gold accents while the lip mask also features the white flower.

 

 

Create a full, flawless base for your lips by priming them to perfection with the rich, soft, deeply hydrating lip mask to revive dry, cracked lips.

Pop a dollop on and leave it to work its magic, soothing dry lips and creating a fuller, softer pout in minutes.

 

 

Next, glide the rich, creamy long-lasting lip liners around the edges of your lips to lock in colour and prevent bleeding before drenching your lips in a soft, subtle sheen of colour with the lip balms.

Offering a semi-sheer look, they are softly pigmented and wonderfully nourishing in texture, creating a delicate sheen with a subtle hit of colour.

 

 

Thanks to the inclusion of a mirror you’ll never have to guess how you’re lips are holding up as you can touch up on the go with the compact, sleek lip products whenever and wherever you are.

I was really surprised when I found out that this kit costs just £20 as in my opinion, the presentation and quality of the products seems to be worth so much more.

 

 

Better still, its part of the 3 for 2 gifting in Boots, where when you buy 3 items, you’ll receive the third for free.

Total bargain.

Ted Baker’s Pout Perfection gift set is available now from Boots and costs £20.

 

 

M.A.C Frosted Firework Collection

 Ladies and Gents, the M.A.C Frosted Firework Collection is here and ready to explode into your life in a captivating, sparkly array of festive hues and dazzling shades.

Comprising of breath-taking, limited-edition colours for the eyes, lips and skin the collection shines brightly and boldly like a firework, ready to enchant you with their luminous visage.

 

 

Each splendid gem has been wrapped in specially designed, elegant and chic frosted pink complete with a glittering flare-embossing that catches both the light and your imagination. 

I am completely enchanted by this ravishing collection thanks to its dazzling tones which make it perfect for the forthcoming festive season.

 

 

Once Bitten, Icy Shy is one of the exquisite  Lipsticks (£17.50) from the new range.

Housed within the beautiful pearly pink bullet you’ll find a brilliant sheer white, pearlescent shade.

 

 

Offering a nourishing, soft finish it creates a sparkly, shimmer look and is perfect for adding those special touches to your lip look.

It can be worn alone though thanks to its hydrating qualities I like to use it as almost a balm over lip colour for that added shimmer and light-reflecting sparkle.

Speaking of light-reflecting sparkle, have you seen the new Lipglasses (£16.50)?

 

 

Available in 5 stunning Christmas-shades, these sleek glosses offer ultra-high shine with a glass like finish.

Silky soft and non gloppy or tacky, they glide across your lips conditioning and smoothing while they go creating the appearance of a fuller pout.

 

Enriched with jojoba oil, they hug and comfort your lips imparting moisture and nourishment while their array of beautiful semi-sheer hue’s allow them to be worn alone or over lipstick.

Apply a delicate slick for a subtle sheen or layer for a more pigmented, dramatic colour depending on your mood or occasion.

I tested out three of the shades, each of which is beautiful in its own way.

 

 

Spark Joy offers a beautiful, bright translucent pearl while Break The Ice creates a warm, peachy-pink complete with flecks of festive gold.

Set Me Off is the most vibrant of the collection with its rich, warm purple-berry tones.

It’s not just lips that get the star treatment though, let’s not forget the windows to your soul!

 

 

Cooler Than Being Cool is one of 5 Extra Dimensional Foil Eye Shadows (£17.50).

This luminous, iridescent eye colour features a brilliant white with multi-coloured pearl pigment for eyes that dazzle.

 

 

Lightweight in texture, exceptionally soft and finely milled it contains a highly pigmented colour pay off with a stunning metallic-shimmer finish.

Ideal for using at the corners of your eyes to widen, brighten and reflect the light the silky powder boasts long-lasting wear of up to 8 hours without creasing or fading.

 

 

Simply Spectacular!

The M.A.C Frosted Firework Collection is available now nationwide and online.

Dermalogica Nightly Lip Treatment

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times. You can never have too many lip products.  

Now, you may have a sh*t tonne of lip balms in your collection, but how many lip treatments do you have? Or more precisely, nightly lip treatments?

None?

Didn’t think so. 

Take a look then at Dermalogica’s new Nightly Lip Treatment, and wherever you do, don’t call it a ‘lip balm’!

Lip ageing is as inevitable as any other type of ageing but often gets overlooked when it comes to skincare.

Our mouth area produces laugh lines, fine lines, and vertical lines over time, just like any other part of your face but by looking after that area correctly you can help to reduce the appearance of ageing.

The guys at Dermalogica have got you covered thanks to their new nightly lip treatment.

Designed to be used on and around your lips, this rich formula works to firm, hydrate and restore the skin around your mouth.

Vitamin rich shea butter instantly hydrates and improves skins elasticity while Indian Gentian Extract, advanced Volumizing Technology and Sesame Seed Extract work to restore the skins volume and reduce the appearance of fine feather lines and wrinkles.

The treatment itself has the appearance and texture of a light moisturser, which while pleasant to apply did feel a bit odd on my lips to begin with.

It possesses a very soft and delicate hint of peppermint which confused me initially because while id pop a lip balm on that was peppermint scented, I’d be slightly more cautious putting something that smelt minty on my skin.

Anyway, once I had got used to the texture and scent I really enjoyed using the product.

It certainly did a great job of instantly hydrating my lips and the skin around my mouth, leaving it feeling soft and nourished.

In terms of reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, the jury’s out. I’m 32 and I don’t smoke, so I’ve yet to really notice the signs of ageing around my mouth yet, but I imagine if this was something that did concern you then using this treatment could make a difference.

It’s well known that you should use a separate eye cream to your regular moisturiser on the skin around your eyes, so why wouldn’t you treat the skin around your mouth in a similar manner if its appearance concerns you?

I think it’s a great, unique and original product by a trusted brand that is well worth a try. If nothing else it leaves your lips wonderfully soft and kissable!

Dermalogica’s Nightly Lip Treatment is available now and costs £47.50 for 10ml.

Lush Christmas Candy Box

There are only 15 days left until Christmas which means that if you haven’t done so already, you need to get a wriggle on with your Christmas shopping! 

Feeling uninspired or completely stuck for ideas?

Head to Lush.

There is no way you will be able to walk out of that shop without buying something for a loved one, believe me,  and for those of you that hate wrapping up, these gifts come pre boxed and wrapped in gorgeous little packages!

Perfect.

  

One of my favourites this year is their Christmas Candy Box (£19.95).

Inside this beauty of a box, hidden beneath a layer of multi coloured packaging, you’ll find a Popcorn lip scrub, Rockstar soap, Candy Mountain bubble bar, Snow Fairy shower gel and a Butterball bath ballistic.

The smell when you open the box is sweet and intoxicating and each of the products are beautifully presented.

 

 I LOVE the Popcorn lip scrub which both smells and tastes AMAZING and their limited edition Snow Fairy shower gel which burts with fruity, sweety-ness!

This gift costs £19.95 but they have tonnes of other gifts from £3.95 available in store and from their website.
