They have products to suit most skin types and to tackle quite a few skin concerns.

Elizabeth Grant have put together 12 anti ageing essentials which includes a range of Serums, Creams, Treatments and Shower and Body Lotions. Its a great range of products for anyone concerned with the early signs of ageing. The products included are formulated to reduce fine lines and wrinkles whilst hydrating your skin and improving uneven tone and dullness. So they have you covered and your skin is in good hands.

How beautiful is the packaging, I love the mixture of gold, white and blue I looks so luxurious.

Included in this incredible 12 piece is,

Biocollasis Complex Vitality Renewal Night Serum – helps brighten skin and improve the skins elasticity.
CellBiocollasis Complex Vitality Revivalising Day Serum – helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Keeps skin moisturised at night due to the formulation.

This Body Lotion is perfumed with a floral scent of Graceful Angel and contains Torricelumn and shea butter. It helps the skin feel more moisturised and gently scented for the day.
Supreme Cell Vitality Neck Cream helps the neck area appear firmer and smoother.

I’m not too sure if this specific set is still for sale but as I said Ideal World very often have great offers on Elizabeth Grant Skincare so there will be a deal to snap up. One more product I highly recommend from this brand are their eye masks. They’re handy to have with you when you travel or have had a late night and need to look bright eyed the next day. I always have a set with me in my makeup bag for those occasions you need a little looking more awake!

Pai Instant Radiance Collection

December 13, 2016November 26, 2017 - Vicki 1 Comment

Pai Skincare is one of those brands you fall in love with from the very first product you try, its a brand that never lets you down and one that you whole heartedly trust. They use the very best quality, natural ingredients and they have products to suit specific skincare needs.

I have been using the Instant Radiance Collection* because one of my main skin concerns is dull skin. I always look for products that promise to add more of a glow / radiance to my complexion and this duo have been a pleasure to use.

In this collection you will receive,

Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil Rollerball (10ml)
Kukui & Jojoba Bead Skin Brightening Exfoliator (15ml)

The Kukui & Jojoba Bead Skin Brightening Exfoliator is a very hydrating, gentle exfoliating polish. Its enriched with

Exotic Oils and high concentrations of Omega 3 & 6
It uses ultra-gentle Jojoba Seeds and a Micro-Sphere exfoliation system to gently roll over skin to lift away dead skin cells, de-flake and polish skin without damaging skin cells and locking in moisture
Avocado oil is rich in vitamins A, D and E and also deep penetrating oils which hydrate, nourish and soften the skin
Kukui nut oil comes from the seeds of a Polynesian tree and soothes and softens the skin without leaving a greasy film

Its a lovely exfoliator to use in the evening to lift off all that dirt and grime from the day, which helps to give your skin that beautiful natural radiance. Not only does it leave your skin feeling soft and nourished but it also leaves it feeling hydrated which is not always the case with exfoliators.

The other product included in this radiance duo is the Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil. It comes in a very handy travel friendly roller ball. This multi tasker is one of Pai Skincare best selling products and once you use it it’s easy to see why.

Rich in concentrated Trans-Retinoic Acid, an essential fuel for the skin’s natural repair function. The power of retinol without irritation.
Rosehip Oil is renowned for its skin healing properties. High concentrations of Omegas 3, 6, 7 & 9, plus antioxidant carotenoids help repair and protect the skin against environmental stresses and visible damage

This is quite a hero product as it helps reduce scaring, improves skins firmness, elasticity and suppleness whilst also protecting skin from environmental aggressors and reduce the effects of photo-aging effects of UVA light on the skin.

This is quite a lightweight oil and I have been using it at night after the exfoliator, I like to massage it in to my skin for a minute or two and my skin is left feeling nourished and so hydrated. I have been using this oil for a couple of weeks now and I think my skin looks brighter and feels less dry.

I think this is a great duo for the Winter months, when our skin needs a little extra TLC and the ingredients in both products focus on protecting, repairing and giving our skin back its natural healthy glow.

Pai products are all cruelty free and Pai are proud to carefully select ingredients with proven remedial and skin soothing properties and keep their products free from irritating chemicals and alcohol.

Baylis & Harding Christmas Gift Sets

December 5, 2016 - Vicki Leave a comment

If there is one brand that you can rely on at Christmas to release fantastic, affordable gift sets its Baylis & Harding. They have such a wide selection and have a gift option for everyone and to make your life even easier they come beautifully packaged and ready for gifting. I also like that their products are available in most major supermarkets so you can do a little Christmas shopping whilst you’re in.

Baylis & Harding Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit Shower Sensation Star Tin

The star-shaped tin contains three of Baylis & Harding’s best selling products and is the perfect affordable pampering present.

Balancing Body Wash with Vitamins A, B and C
Hand and Body Lotion
Luxurious Shower Crème

I think this would be a really nice set to give to a Mum, Gran or as a Secret Santa gift. It has 3 great products in and the scent is one that a lot of people will enjoy, it has zesty top notes of sweet mandarin, grapefruit and lemon alongside a sweeter, more sensuous heart of jasmine and orange blossom.

Beauticology Soldier Cosy Night In Gift Set

This is such a fun set and I love the candy cane style packaging it so festive and cute. The contents of this would be more suited to a teenager or young adult as both the products included have very sweet scents. You have everything you need for the perfect cosy night in! Inside you get,

Knitted Hot Water Bottle Cover in red & white stripes with soldier motif
Vanilla Frosting Hand & Body lotion
Strawberry Candy Cane Body Wash

Both these gift sets come beautifully packaged and ready to gift!

Baylis & Harding have a great selection of gifts this Christmas and they’re available in Tesco, Boots, and Morrisons very handy to pick up whilst you’re doing your shopping. I’m spending Christmas in Scotland & the super soft hot water bottle is 100% coming with me!

Inside you get a mini evergreen birch tree (a real one) which smells super festive and 5 amazing luxe beauty products to get your skin ready for and also see you through the party season.

I think this is such a fun collaboration and it has got me well and truly in the Festive Spirit.

Inside this letterbox friendly package, you will receive,

The BirchTree: A small, cute and perfectly formed festive evergreen tree
Caudalie Instant Detox Mask: A 10-minute weekly detox mask that is perfect for revitalising tired, lacklustre completions. This is a great mask for keeping your skin looking its best over the party season.

It is a very feminine scent and I could smell it hours after I first applied it. It has notes of pineapple and spicy rose to give you a mix of zesty fruit and floral. I urge you to test this out and let me know if you like it as much as I do.

Your 5 Birchbox samples come with pretty red ribbons all ready to hang on your birch tree. It was quite fun to get creative and decorate my tree although I don’t think I’ll be able to resist not using my products so they won’t be on the tree too long. I will, however, be replacing the beauty products with some festive baubles and putting it in my hallway, you must remember to care for your tree and water it every week so it stays lush and green right up until Christmas.

This is such a fun take on your standard beauty box, not only do you get 5 lovely products to try out but also this lovely Christmas Tree is going to make your home feel extra festive. Its the perfect gift for friends and family or a great Christmas treat for you

Be quick if you want to snap this up, it is limited edition and once they’re gone that’s it.
