I’m not usually a fan of toiletry gift sets as generally there is one product I will use and the rest gets overlooked. This beauty from Burt’s Bees is an exception, there is nothing in there that I haven’t tried and loved, the Pomegranate sugar scrub is especially gorgeous and the scent of the entire set reminds me of Christmas which is kinda perfect at this time of year.

A quick run through of the set, which retails at £19.99 (so worth it when you price it all up individually):

Replenishing lipbalm with pomegranate oil: perfect for the trials of cold weather and central heating. Burt’s Bees is one of the only lipbalms that makes a difference and the flavour of this is just divine.

Cranberry and Pomegranate sugar scrub which smells like Christmas. Oh hello silky smooth skin, I’ve missed you!

Cranberry and Pomegranate replenishing body bar. Again this smells festive and lasts all day. This has been great in lieu of shaving foam. I will be buying this again and again.

Naturally nourishing milk and honey body lotion…one word for this…LOVE. I do kind of wish this had a fruit fragrance too though.

The signature spa pouf finishes the set off perfectly..this would make a great Christmas gift or a pampering treat for yourself.

What do you think of sets like this? What other Burt’s products do I need?

Set gifted to me with no obligation to review. All views are my own.

It always feels a bit like I’m treading on other people’s toes when I do a beauty post but I was sent this gorgeous Naturally Nude gift set by MeMeMe via the lovely folk at findmeagift and couldn’t wait to share my opinion.

Consisting of Blush Me Blusher, Lipstick with Shea Butter, 2 pots of cream eye shadows and a beautiful natural-look nail polish packed up in a sleek black makeup bag and costing £26.99 (which is a bargain when you add up the cost of it all individually) this straight away struck me as my dream everyday makeup kit. Gone are the days when I was all about the bold eyeshadow and glitter liner (although I do like to have fun with that at times too) this kit is perfect for creating the “barely there” look I favour for work and a base for something more dramatic.
I’m not usually a fan of cream type eyeshadow but this applied wonderfully and lasted all day which is what I tend to dislike about them. The lipstick is a gorgeous pinky shade which will suit pretty much everyone as well as feeling wonderfully soft and caring. The blusher is a bold coral colour that applies quite lightly so you can really build the colour up to suit you; as you can see I’m super pale so went with a light hand and you can’t really see it in the photos but in reality I was left with a fresh, healthy colour to my face.
I’ve not used the nail polish yet, but having used others from the brand I can tell you now they are fabulous!

This set would make the perfect Christmas gift for any beauty fan and also a lovely little treat for yourself if your looking for an instant natural look. I may not be blessed with beauty talent and know-how but I really did think this was super.

What are your go-to products for a natural look? Would you use this set?
