Christmas Gift Guide
Dare I say, ‘it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas’ and you might be looking for the perfect gift for a friend or family member. I’ve curated a Christmas gift guide that features a selection of hand picked items to give you some inspiration and help you discover some gems you might not have thought of!
Skincare
Skincare products can be tricky to buy for someone else, but here are a few of my favourite items that will work perfectly on anyone’s skincare shelf:
Olixa Centella Mask - This product is a game-changer and one of my favourites to use during facial treatments and on my brides. This mask provides deep hydration and nourishment. It calms the skin and reduces redness - ideal for this time of year. It can also be used as an intense overnight moisturising mask treatment, waking up to beautiful plump skin!
Gua Sha Tool - Useful to ‘up’ any skincare routine this is the perfect addition for at home facials. Promoting circulation and reducing puffiness, an easy ritual to build into an evening skincare routine. Pair with a facial oil.
Lena Wild Lip Balm - This balm works wonders to keep lips soft and kissable this winter! It is so much more than your average lip balm and is the most beautiful treatment any lips could ask for. You can even get a tinted version which provides a subtle flush of colour.
Makeup
A few recommendations to refresh any makeup bag with a some of my most used products from my professional and personal makeup kit!
Jones Road Miracle Balm - Is a versatile product that adds a touch of colour to cheeks (lips and eyes). It adds a healthy natural glow and comes in 10 shades, from flush to bronze. My current favourite is Dusty Rose. It’s balm texture means it works really well if you have dry skin too.
Rose Inc Mascara - For perfect lashes. Who doesn’t need a mascara?! This mascara stays on without clumping, flaking or smudging. Great for sensitive eyes too, no stinging in sight!
Hourglass Voyeur Eyeshadow Stick - Add a subtle shimmer to party season. These are so easy to use and come in 7 shades, which are buildable so you can wear a subtle wash of colour or a deeper tone. Moon and Phoenix are my favourite combination.
Electricals
I’m not talking about your normal gadgets. These are for skincare enthusiasts!
LED Masks - Designed to improve skin health by reducing inflammation, redness and fine lines, boosting collagen production and strenghting the skin’s barrier. These masks are super easy to use and build into your daily routine. They're the ultimate self-care treat for radiant skin.

Plum and Ashby Candle - The Mandarin and Ginger Scent is an absolute staple in my studio! This scent offers the perfect combination of citrus and heat for a fresh and reviving feel.
Ede Therapist Rollers - Another product I use in all of my treatments. These rollers are great for awakening and calming the senses. A lovely addition to any skin routine to set the mood. Roll onto wrists and breathe deeply. I cannot resist the Burnout scent.
