skincare

Treat yourself or that special loved one this holiday season when purchasing the BEAUTY PIE latest and greatest kit that features a bundle of Christmas beauty gifts. In fact housed in a luxury velvet dark green vanity case that is soft to the touch with gold-tone hardware and a soft vegan-leather handle, the products sit safely inside and are individually wrapped. Unzipping to open the case you will find 14 full size items in 12 packages + 1 deluxe size EDP + 1 signature tote bag + 1 surprise.

I love how easy it is to order from beauty pie and the fact you are constantly updated once your order is completed at the checkout and with the delivery process. Now, im not going to lie, but i was surprised with how heavy the case is when i received it but couldn't wait to open it.

All the products are beautifully packaged with numbers on them that if you wish you can open one gift a day for 12 days or just open them all at once. I'm sure your be busy discovering and using the products included but another brilliant idea would be to use whats included as stocking fillers or just gifting to that special someone who likes that specific product.

LANEIGE Midnight Minis Lip Mask Set

skincare

The five choices available from Laneige's midnight minis collection all promise to not only soothe compromised lips, but also aid in moisturisation. The overnight, leave-on lip masks contain humectants to aid in hydration, emollients to nurture and boost moisture, whilst also containing a derivative but stable-form of vitamin c that provides antioxidant benefits. Lip masks are a great product to use because not only do they stay on the lips overnight with no transfer of product (this is helpful for maximum treatment benefits) but they are also a great product to reach for if you lips have dried out from makeup products that are designed to stay on the lips, but can be drying, whilst cold air can be a factor in wicking away moisture.

The LANEIGE midnight minis collection features five different scented variations that are also housed in coloured pots to suit their specific name. The fragrances included in the lip masks are well formulated because they do smell exactly like their name suggests, but if you know you cannot tolerate fragrance then these might not be for you. The options in the set arrive as:

Purple - Gummy Bear

Pink - Sweet Candy

Brown - Chocolate

Pale Tint Yellow - Vanilla

Bright Yellow - Lemon Sorbet 

Unscrewing the pot lid and applying to clean and dry lips, it is ideal to make sure you apply a generous amount that covers the whole area even going over the lip line border if you wish. I was impressed in not only the highly emollient formula that glides over the lips with ease but with how this leaves the lips feeling nurtured, moisturised, and pampered the next morning! Priced at £15.00 for 5, which works out as £3 per-pot, this overnight lip moisture therapy collection is also ideal for those who want to try before they buy the full-sized product.

Ordo Sonic+ Electric Toothbrush

verbal
Revolutionise your oral care regime when introducing the Ordo Sonic+ Electric Toothbrush into your daily routine. The water-proof toothbrush not only presents itself with eye-catching unique designs but it also delivers 40,000 Sonic pulses to achieve that deeper and cleaner feeling. Designed and approved by dentists, you can choose between four different modes which are Clean, White, Massage and Sensitive whilst you can also be assured that you are cleaning your whole mouth by the smart 2-minute timer with quad-pacer that is present.

Featured in the box of your new Ordo Sonic+ Electric Toothbrush will also be a Ordo Sonic+ Brush Head that features high-quality, individually rounded bristles to achieve optimum oral-care performance. A hygienic travel cap and a Ordo Sonic+ Charging Base with USB connection is also featured to charge the Lithium Ion battery your new toothbrush is powered by. The easy-to read user manual details all the information you need and answers any questions you may have, so i would suggest reading through this before using. 

The smart LED indicator has a low power reminder and also achieves a power-off protection function that helps prevent battery damage, to keep your toothbrush working at optimal levels. Switching through the four different functions is relatively easy by pressing the main button and the LED display will show which mode it is on, whilst it will pulse every 30 seconds to tell you to move onto the next area of your mouth. I love how effective this is at not only cleaning the tooth surface but also cleaning between the teeth whilst also respecting the gums.

Offering the same features as the higher priced electric toothbrushes available, the Ordo is budget-friendly affordable whilst being easy to clean and easy to use. Just remember to allow the Ordo Sonic+ Electric Toothbrush to do all the work (instead of using a back and fourth motion) all you have to do is place on each tooth at a 45 degree angle to the gum line for 3-5 seconds for a cleaner and brighter smile!

Garnier Ultimate Blends Argan Oil & Cranberry

Garnier Ultimate Blends Argan Oil & Cranberry.

haircare

The Garnier ultimate blends hair care range provides affordable products suitable for your hair needs on a daily basis. I typically love this range because some days my hair needs a hit of hydration whilst other days it needs a boost of nourishment, the range is easily identified by its individual colours and the description on the front of what it will deliver. Specifically using products targeted for colour-treated hair will not only help keep your colour from fading but will also deliver that extra-care coloured hair needs. Read on to discover my experience of the Garnier Ultimate Blends Argan Oil & Cranberry shampoo and conditioner, disclaimer the links used are not affiliated and are placed for you to discover the products. 

Garnier Ultimate Blends Argan Oil & Cranberry Shampoo.

haircare

Presented in a recycled plastic bottle, the shampoo is ideal for coloured and highlighted hair by featuring some important ingredients. Applying to wet hair, the shampoo lathers extremely well by the SLS and Cocamidopropyl betaine that helps create the foamy lather, perfect to cleanse the scalp and remove build-up and impurities. A cranberry light scent can be detected whilst the creamy texture features argania spinosa kernel oil and vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry) seed oil that prevent overly drying of the hair by sealing in moisture. Hair conditioning is also helped by the silicones featured in the shampoo along with Guar hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride that helps detangle every hair strand easily. I love how this shampoo effectively cleanses the hair but does not strip it of its moisture making it ideal for those who wash their hair everyday but still want to look after their colour whilst boosting shine!   

Garnier Ultimate Blends Argan Oil & Cranberry Conditioner.

haircare

Presented in a recycled bottle, the conditioner is the perfect treatment to apply after using the argan and cranberry shampoo from the same range or any other Garnier shampoo. Featuring argania spinosa kernel oil and vaccinium macrocarpon (cranberry) seed oil that both expertly nourish and seal every hair strand, the other included benefits from this shampoo are anti-static provided by Diketyldimonium chloride and detangling from Cetrimonium chloride. Emollient benefits are supported by the cetyl esters included in the formulation whilst Amodimethicone selectively binds to damaged hair without weighing it down and dimethicone instantly smooths the hair whilst also sealing in moisture. I love how this conditioner instantly absorbs when applying on to wet hair and i tend to leave it for about 2 minutes before rinsing it out, you will notice how soft and nourished your hair feels throughout this stage. My hair feels nourished, tangle-free and the shine has been boosted when dry from this affordable but luxury conditioner! 

Available here: Ultimate Blends Argan Oil Shampoo  & Ultimate Blends Argan Oil Conditioner priced from £2.50 Check out the full range here: Garnier Ultimate Blends x Neil.

skincare

Presented in new tube integrating card board, the Garnier SkinActive Hand Superfood Cocoa & Ceramide hand cream is easily dispensed by opening the flip top lid and lightly squeezing to access the product. The highly emollient hand cream features humectant glycerin to draw moisture to the skin whilst also featuring 2-oleamido-1,3-octadecanediol that belongs to the ceramide ingredient family to slow down water loss and help soften the upper layers of the skin. The hand cream also features a host of beneficial emollients which are the non-drying cetearyl alcohol, and glyceryl stearate, butyrospermum parkii butter / shea butter, glyceryl stearate se, theobroma cacao seed butter / cocoa seed butter that all contribute to lock moisture into the skin whilst improving softness. I absolutely love this hand cream as it glides over the skin easily whilst a caramel and cocoa butter fragrance can be enjoyed when it absorbs quickly. It does not leave your hands feeling overly greasy and even after hand washing my skin still felt soft and smooth. Apply this vegan formula, repairing balm, as an overnight treatment or throughout the day to protect your hard working hands which deserve to be pampered and cared for!
