Luxury Gift Idea: Touché by Flavien Intensive Nourishing Treatment!

50ml

Hey Beauty Lovers! This luxury gift idea is a little hair treat. Flavien's hair products are filled with goodness and that is what makes them quite special. The ingredients that go into his haircare are very expensive because they are hard to extract, prickly pear oil is one of them. It's a very powerful ingredient that is even more affective than argan oil, which intensely hydrates and nourishes tiered hair and makes it look healthy and shiny. Goji berry extract has anti-aging antioxidant properties, whilst rosemary oil help to stimulate hair growth. 

This hair treatment comes in two sizes: 300ml £68 and 50ml £17 - available at Harvey Nichols, Fenwick, and Harrods. Flavien recommends to apply a generous amount and massage from roots into the ends leaving in overnight for a deep treatment and rinse out in the morning.

Festive Beauty Look: NARS Guy Bourdin Collection!

 Blush: Coeur Battant; Eyeshadow: Cambodia; Lipstick: Full Frontal; Nailpolish: No Limits

All from NARS Guy Bourdin Collection

 NARS No Limits without topcoat

NARS No Limits with topcoat

Hey Beauty Lovers! Guy Bourdin is an iconic fashion photographer and he collaborated with NARS to create this a-mazing Holiday 2013 Colour Collection in time for Christmas! The pop of colours are pretty exciting and so I thought it would be fun to create a daring beauty look inspired by Guy Bourdin photography.

So to create this look I have chosen the Cinematic Eyeshadow in Cambodia, which is a pink copper. It's a new formula created exclusively for the NARS Guy Bourdin Collection, a velvet texture with high-impact colour. As a blush I went for the Coeur Battant shade, which is a dramatic magenta, you only need a light touch of it as it is highly pigmented. For a lip I kept the same tone and applied the Cinematic Lipstick in Full Frontal, which is a rose violet. The Cinematic Lipstick is also a new formula, making the lipstick super glossy with intense colour saturation. And on nails I'm wearing the No Limits nailpolish, which is a bright pink violet that dries to a satin matte finish.

Gift Idea: L'Occitane Fleur d'Or & Acacia Collection!

Hey Beauty Lovers! L'Occitane has many great gift sets for Christmas this year. My personal pick is the Fleur d'Or Acacia gift set, it has such a lovely floral scent, very feminine and gentle and just simply beautiful. Where I grew up there were lots of acacia trees and this scent just brings me back to my childhood, so I'm pretty addicted to the fragrance right now! It doesn't last very long on me but it's one of those beautiful fresh scents that you top up throughout the day. 

In a beautiful gift-box you get the 75ml eau de toilette, shower gel [with festive gold glitter] and body milk both 175ml, all for £65. Or otherwise you can get the items separately, the eau de toilette alone is £49, body milk £16, and shower gel £11, so you save a bit of money by getting the gift box really. And also a great stocking filler is the 30ml hand cream which is just £8.

The shape is designed to make it easy to get everywhere where it's usually tricky to get, places such as the under eye area and around the nose. Depending on how you turn the sponge you either get a round edge, a flat edge or a pointy edge. Miracle Complexion Sponge is a great foundation blending tool, which helps to create a flawless skin finish.
