I absolutely love choosing gifts for others so it's no surprise that Christmas is my favourite holiday! I was delighted when Look Fantastic got in touch and asked me to choose a blogger friend to exchange gifts with. I immediately chose the lovely Laura from LauraLouiseBeauty who is a talented makeup artist (check out her Instagram here and take a look at her legendary Halloween looks), blogger, busy Mummy to the beautiful Margot and also a mummy to the cuties who are Herman and Hilda - her fur babies! I've admired Laura's talent for a long time (both her makeup skills and her photography) and also admire her integrity in an industry that doesn't always reward honesty. I read her blog long before I started my own so I could think of nobody better to swap gifts with!
Laura & I were kindly gifted £50 each to spend on Christmas gifts. Now I will admit that choosing a beauty gift for a beauty junkie is so easy task but, fortunately, Look Fantastic stock a vast selection of brands and products.
I did a bit of research and decided on two products. Laura recently mentioned that she had never tried a Neom candle and I was shocked as she is the candle queen so I decided that one of their Christmas line would be perfect. I chose Precious Moment 1 Wick Scented Candle, which I am hoping she will enjoy. It's an invigorating scent with essential oils of Vetivert, Orange and Bergamot - invigorating without being too sharp.
The second product I chose is Aromatherapy Associates Seasonal Saviours Trio Collection, which contains 3 bath & shower oils: De-stress Mind, Revive Morning and Light Relax. I always associate this brand with Laura as I know that, like myself, she is a big fan of a nice bath product and she always raves about this brand. These minis will see her through the festive season and beyond!
I'm hoping that Laura will light the candle, have a bath using the oils and enjoy some precious me-time over the festive period.
Now on to what Laura chose for me! I was so delighted when I opened the parcel to find three products, not only that but all three are new to me!
The first product is Mio Liquid Yoga Bath Soak, which I was absolutely delighted to receive because it's a brand that I have heard only great things about and I am a huge fan of baths. That coupled with the fact that I'm having back and neck trouble at the moment, I am really looking forward to using this and the mini size is perfect for travelling, so I'll be packing it for travelling to my in-laws this weekend.
Next up is a gorgeous eyeshadow palette from Bobbi Brown, which is a brand that I've tried very little from. Laura regularly features products from the brand on her blog and I always lust over them so I am really delighted to finally have my hand on one of her palettes! This will also be packed to take away this weekend as all of the warm tones in the Fever Dream palette are right up my street!
Finally, another product that I haven't tried before and one that will be perfect for the winter months. I wear lip balm daily and I think these Dr Lipp tinted lip balms will be ideal for no (or minimal) makeup days!
Laura truly spoilt me and I couldn't be happier or more appreciative!
