Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Magic Gift Set

 Treat yourself or a loved one to the gift of beautiful skin this Christmas with Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Magic gift set.

This beautiful soft pink box of superior hydration features three of Glow Recipe’s iconic products from their Watermelon collection.

For those not in the know, watermelon hydrates, soothes, and fights free radical damage to ward off fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.

So basically it’s a bit of a skincare saviour.

This gorgeous set comprises of a full-size Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner, a travel version of Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops and a Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial.

If you or a loved one are longing for healthy, plump, hydrated skin then this is the set for you.

 

The Watermelon Glow Hyaluronic Clay Pore-Tight Facial combines all the purifying benefits of a clay mask without the associated drying downsides.

              Formulated with hyaluronic acid infused kaolin clay, this pot of pink joy instantly gets to work to minimise the appearance of pores while restoring an uneven complexion and hydrating your skin.

 

The light, creamy, fluffy hyaluronic-acid infused whipped clay gently exfoliates and purifies your skin, removing dead skin cells and build up while chemical exfoliants in the form of watermelon enzymes, BHA and PHA help to clear congested pores.

Experience further, gentle exfoliation with the inclusion of micronized blueberry seed powder to revive, rejuvenate and brighten a dull, tired, lacklustre complexion in next to no time.

 

To use, simply apply a generous amount all over a freshly cleansed, moist face.

Lave for 5 minutes before gently rinsing off with lukewarm water.

Follow with the Watermelon Glow PHA + BHA Pore-Tight Toner.

 

This refreshing, brightening toner decongests skin and floods cells with five different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid.

It contains a potent poly hydroxy acid which gently clarifies your skin, buffing away dead cells to clear blocked pores while a naturally derived beta hydroxy acid battles blackheads and an antibacterial blend of tea tree with centella asiatica calms and soothes irritated skin.

Inspired by the Korean Aqua Peel Facial which focuses on the duality of exfoliating and hydrating, this pore-tightening, exfoliating toner helps to prep, prime and plump your skin increasing its ability to readily absorb the rest of your skincare routine products.

 

To use, simply dispense a small amount into the palm of your hands and gently pat it into your skin, don’t wipe away or rub.

If you’re more used to using a cotton pad with a toner, apply the toner to the pad and simply pat it into skin, don’t wipe, or rub and you’re done!

 Last but by no means least is the Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops.

 

 

This lightweight emulsion is a skincare makeup hybrid that will help you to achieve a truly radiant glow.

Offering an out-of-this-world glow, you’ll find no mica, glitter or pearls within this formula but you will find a host of skin loving ingredients and vitamins to protect, pamper and hydrate.

The silky, lightweight formula is packed full of vitamin A and C to moisturise, plump and soothe while treating fine lines and wrinkles.

 

Niacinamide helps to even out skin tone, reduce the appearance of pigmentation and lift and brighten a dull, lacklustre complexion.

Hyaluronic acid visibly plumps for bouncy, healthy looking and feeling skin while moringa seed oil hydrates and soothes.

Multi-purpose, this highlighting serum can either be used prior to your moisturiser for an extra hit of hydration or as the last step in your routine for an instant, dewy finish.

 

So whether you’re in need of a skin pick-me-up, or know of a friend or loved one who is desperate for a healthier glow then this could well be the set for you.

Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Magic gift set is available now and costs £44.

Fresh Sugar Watermelon Hydrating Lip Balm

 

Treat your lips to a sensationally juicy experience with the Fresh Sugar Watermelon Hydrating Lip Balm (£15).

This delicious, watermelon flavoured lip balm offers 24 hour moisture to smooth, plump and nourish dry, chapped lips.

Every time I get this scrummy balm out I can’t help but sing Harry Styles ‘Watermelon Sugar’!

 

 

Housed within a cute, compact, transparent pot with a vibrant, pink lid you’ll find the most mouth-wateringly scented pink balm.

Enriched with Vitamin E to condition and protect, it contains a cocktail of skin-softening, emollient oils including blackcurrant seed, grapeseed and apricot kernel oil.

Meanwhile, it is crammed full of sugar which is known for its natural humectant properties to lock in hydration and prevent moisture loss.

 

 

The result is a delicious balm that imparts a super-natural hint of colour that tastes incredible and feels wonderfully soft on your lips.

Rich yet lightweight and silky smooth in texture, it offers a delicate sheen without any gloopyness or stickiness.

I mean, what can be better than a deeply nourishing lip one?

You got it- one that both smells and tastes divine!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Plumping Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo & conditioner

Watermelon scented beauty products are all the rage at the moment and why wouldn't they be?

Watermelon offers a sweet, soft, juicy aroma that lifts the spirits and reminds you of tropical climes!

When I saw that Garnier had launched a trio of watermelon hair care products there was no question that I was going to get them!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Plumping Hair Food Watermelon Shampoo & conditioner  have been formulated specifically for fine hair.

If like me you crave volume and a boost to inject some depth and movement to your lank locks then these are the products for you.

Blended with Watermelon & Pomegranate, the clear, gel-like shampoo offers a light foam to gently cleanse to boost your hair without weighing it down. 

Vegan friendly, free from silicones and formulated with 96% Natural Ingredients, this delightful, aromatic shampoo gently and softly cleansed your hair, imparting the most deliciously tropical aroma.

If like me you suffer with both dry, damaged AND thin hair, conditioner can be a tricky product to use. 

Many offer silky soft locks, but the trade off is the product weighs your hair down, meaning you lack volume.

Garnier's Ultimate Blends Hair Food Watermelon Conditioner offers an ultra lightweight, melting texture that effortlessly detangles stressed hair.

Quickly absorbed, your hair is left feeling soft and fresh in no time. 

Similarly to the shampoo the conditioner is also vegan friendly, features no silicones, is Comprised of 97% Natural Ingredients and is housed within a 100% recyclable bottle. 

The duo smell incredible, sweet, soft and addictive however the conditioner doesn't offer quite as much nourishment that my long dry ends require for a truly deep conditioning. 

That said, if your hair is healthier than mine then you're in for a winner and my hair definitely felt lighter and post blow drying, had a little extra volume.

You can try them for yourselves now at Boots .  

Ciate Watermelon Under Eye Masks

Banish tired, dehydrated eyes with Ciate’s Watermelon Under Eye Masks (£22)

While familiar with sheet masks I’d never tried an eye mask before and was unsure what to expect in terms of results as usually I stick to a regular eye cream, so I was excited to test these out.

Made in Korea and created with a cocktail of skin loving ingredients, these patches claim to restore, revitalise and reduce the appearance of fine lines resulting in a brighter, refreshed under eye area.

Created to resemble watermelon slices they are wonderfully cute, very k-beauty and undoubtedly eye catching (‘scuse the pun).

Each hydro-gel patch is infused with skincare superhero Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate, watermelon extract to brighten, Niacinamide to smooth and a boosting vitamin complex.

To use, simply peel off the backing of the patches to reveal the cool, sticky, jelly like treatment area.

Position under each eye, gently press on then sit back for 15-20 minutes and allow the ingredients to work their magic.

Upon application you’ll notice how wonderfully refreshing the patches make you skin feel.

In fact, you can even keep them in your fridge to maximise their cooling effect.

Once removed, the patches had left my skin feeling plump, pampered and revived.

While I can’t say that I noticed a massive difference in the appearance of my fine lines, its hydrating and plumping qualities certainly helped to restore radiance and brightness to the area which in turn definitely improved the overall appearance of my complexion.

My only gripe was that despite their fruity appearance, they are actually fragrance free, which given that it is an eye care product I understand, but personally I was expecting to be met with the sweet aroma of watermelon.

You can get your hands on Ciate’s Watermelon Under Eye Masks now from their website where they cost £22.
