Stress Relief Set
This little box of wonders emanates excitement from the very minute you get your eager little paws on it. The rather funky packaging is almost as much fun good as the contents which include Hydro-Active Mineral Salts, Stress Relief Treatment Oil and a limited edition Stress Relief Votive Candle. Said candle had a unique smell that you can’t quite place, but it’s not one you’d turn your nose up at and inarguably it does leave you feeling Zen. At £29.50 this collection is good Dermalogica value for money and the salts will last you a fair while. Go on – it’s Christmas.
Cheap Beauty With Your Friends
One of the few glimmers of light in the stormy sky of dark credit crunching clouds is the abundance of money saving, beauty orientated tips flying around cyber space these days. A favourite of mine is the beauty swapper concept. Basically you take all the products you bought on a whim and all the beautifiers that don’t work on you, and you bring them along to a big pyjama party. You then swap them with you buddies and in their cosmetic rough, you may well find a gem. They’ll just be left unused in your toiletry bag otherwise so what have you got to lose? One word of hygienic advice though. Don’t swap mascara, lipstick or eyeliner. It’s just less messy this way.
Skin Rescue Set
Back to the travel size, top end treats. The Skin Rescue Set is a handily sized collection of the products that relieve your skin of waxy dullness, even if you only apply them just before a big event. Add the Daily Microfoliant on to the end of your cleaner routine, leave the mask on for a tingling ten minutes and use the hydration booster after your toner, but before your all over moisturiser. The eye care tube is a nice little finishing touch that helps alleviate the smile lines and baggage under your travel tired eyes. This five piece set is a mere £18.50.
Discount Shopping Online
I’ll say from the outset that this badger is only of use to you international jet setters if you can get the heavily discounted products delivered in the UK or Europe. If you’re in a position of such privilege on your global trek then take a trip to directcosmetics.com. This site’s speciality is the nice smelling stuff, widely know as perfume, but there are bargains to be had on accessories too. Clinique Cosmetics Bag for £2 anyone?
