Blistex Agave Rescue and Blistex Jojoba Rescue
Blistex are a go-to for lip care, and just in time for Christmas, they have released their Blistex Agave Rescue and Blistex Jojoba Rescue. These new additions to their product lineup are amazing, using nature’s most resilient plants for unparalleled moisture and nourishment for healthy lip care.
Blistex Agave Rescue is unlike anything I have tired before, using the healing properties of the agave plant (which is a succulent known for its ability to thrive in harsh environments). It has a winning combination including:
- Intense moisturisation from agave extract
- Revitalising effects from plum and peach extracts
- A burst of hydration for a refreshing experience
The unique combination not only smells great, but is revitalising and hydrating, softening and enhancing the appearance of the lips.
Blistex Jojoba Rescue uses the jojoba plant, which is something that grows and thrives in an arid climate. It is smooth and hydrating. This lip balm offers:
- Deep moisturisation from jojoba and coconut oils
- Added benefits from natural kiwi extract
- Antioxidant protection with Vitamins C & E
It has been amazing to use, offering an intensely hydrating and nourishing experience for lips. I think it would be an ideal lip balm for taking on holiday in warmer climates too! The lip balms have an RRP of £2.99 and can be bought from Amazon, as well as Morrison’s and Tesco. They’re an ideal stocking filler and would be a winner with basically everyone.
Marc Jacobs Daisy Pop Eau de Toilette Women’s Perfume Spray from Perfume Direct
Fragrance is always a winner; who doesn’t want to smell good? And Daisy Pop by Marc Jacobs is a floral fruity fragrance for women that is sure to please. Not only is the bottle striking and fun, the fragrance itself is a vibrant and refreshing fragrance, with a blend of citrus, floral, and musk notes. Having tried the fragrance myself, it is not overpowering, but not subtle; it just hits right. You can smell grapefruit scents from it, as well as exotic and citrusy yuzu. As the fragrance blooms over the day, the scent changes slightly, transforming to a beautiful garden, with notes of raspberries, delicate violets, and roses.
The sultry base notes are pamplewood, musk, and warm vanilla, but I’d say these are more on the subtle side; you definitely pick up on the fruity vibes. Daisy Pop by Marc Jacobs provides a fun and enchanting olfactory experience, leaving a trail of charming and irresistible allure.
Currently priced at £62.99 from Perfume Direct. If it’s in your budget, then it is a fabulous choice for her.
The Traitors Special Edition Card Game
If you have someone in your life that is a fan of the show, then this is the game for them. Taking on the roles of faithful or traitor, you work to build up a pot of gold. Much like the show, the Faithful must identify and banish the Traitors to win a share of the gold. The traitors must stay undetected until the end so that they can steal the prize fund with The Traitors Special Edition Card Game.
Every time an event card is drawn, there could be a murder or banishment. You need to make sure you’re not the victim of either. Whenever a murder comes up, someone will die, so the Faithful need to work together to find out who is working against them. There are optional digital features that help you to really immerse yourself into the world of The Traitors, and is ideal for those Boxing Day get togethers when it’s time to get the board games out.
You can get this from Ginger Fox, priced at £11.99 (if you sign up to the website you can get 10% off your first order). It’s a good bargain and works well as a stocking filler. It is suitable for people aged 8 and over, suitable for 4 players or more.
Halcoline Swimwear
You might not be planning a holiday until it’s warmer, but you can get ready and planned now with Halcoline Swimear. Halocline swimsuits are made of the finest Italian fabrics. Some unique benefits of the swimwear for women is that they have Lycra Xtra Life for added comfort, as well as tummy control. They have a longer design which is ideal if you’re like me and have a long body, and don’t want the swimwear to ride up! The swimwear is also highly chlorine resistant which is great for someone that swims regularly. The good news is that the swimwear is a sustainable option as it is made from recycled nylon yarn.
The swimsuit that I have, the Lucille Longer Length Swimsuit (in black and white leopard) is so comfy, sucks your tummy in, fits true to size, and has a lined cup area – ideal for holidays! The quality is great too! The swimsuits are designed with comfort, functionality and style. I like that each style comes in a range of colours.
The swimming costume prices vary, but this one is £49.00.
