I have so many gorgeous present ideas to share with you in this Hair and Beauty Christmas gift guide.
I hope you will find some great inspiration for Christmas gifts here.
Clinisoothe+ Skin Purifier is a beautiful new multi-use face spray that has loads of skin benefits. It is a powerful cleansing antimicrobial solution that reduces redness, soothes skin, combats breakouts, actively protects the skin from irritation, and helps to rapidly recover from harsh exposure to pollutants and contamination from the environment.
Clinisoothe+ is vegan and cruelty-free and the packaging is 100% recyclable. This single product comes with seven benefits: purify, cleanse, soothe, recover, balance, calm and protect and can dramatically improve the appearance of skin. It uses an advanced hypochlorous technology to deliver a skin safe non-cytotoxic product with multiple benefits.
It’s a lovely fine spray to use and I noticed my skin looking clearer and just better within just a few days of using it.
It makes a lovely Christmas gift as it has pretty packaging and really works!

CODE Beautiful is a lovely small brand who make cruelty-free and vegan beauty products that do what they are meant to do, with no gimmicks or following of trends. They aim to create products that enhance the way you naturally look and feel, so you can stay focused on being you!
Their two lip products are beautiful and effective, with an intensive lip-plumping treatment and a 3 in 1 lip liner. The packaging is gorgeous, sleek and modern too so they make really lovely gifts.
The hydrating lip plumper doesn’t just irritate your lips to make them temporarily swell, as most lip plumpers do. Instead, the exclusive combination of ingredients helps to redefine the natural contours of the lips to create a more hydrated and sculpted look.
The CODE Beautiful Lip Intense Plumper was created for people that want to reduce fine lines on their lips, or want a fuller, more defined pout. It is rich in hyaluronic acid and coconut oil to make your lips fuller and more moisturised over time, and also contains Hilurlip which helps to redefine the natural contours of the lips to create a more defined look.
It works best when used consistently, at least daily, for at least 2 weeks to give a long-lasting result. It’s a really pretty nude pink shade which is said to suit all skin tones – I’m quite fussy with lip products but this has such a nice colour that is easy to wear and I can put it on without a mirror if necessary. It’s really lovely and hopefully my lips will keep improving with it – I would love plumper lips!
The Soft Smooth Lip Liner from CODE Beautiful is a clever 3 in 1 product, that is a lip liner, lipstick and lip plumper as well as being self-sharpening. It is super-soft to apply and is full of ingredients that stimulate collagen production, condition your lips plus give volume!
Soft Smooth Lip stops your lipstick from bleeding but without that harsh line, and again works for all skin tones. It looks great all over the lips and is easily blended, and can also be worn with the lip plumper over the top too.
They’re gorgeous products from a gorgeous brand and they would make such lovely Christmas presents.
Where to buy: CODE Beautiful Lip Plumper £20 Lip Liner £18
These gorgeous products from Be:Loved were actually created for your beloved pet, but can be used on humans too!
The range is 100% natural and consists of shampoo bars, oils, balms and more, that are gentle yet effective for both humans and pets. They are 100% tested on humans and they all smell amazing.
We’ve used the Be:clean shampoo bar on our pup a few times now and oh my goodness she is so shiny and soft afterwards and smells incredible. I’ve found that she looks (and smells!) cleaner for longer with this bar than with the dog shampoo we were previously using, and I will definitely get it again. I can’t stop smelling her after a bath now! It also helps to keep lice and bacteria at bay which is brill.
The handmade range draws its inspiration from an old family heirloom animal husbandry book, which was filled with lotions, potions and remedies that could be created using hedgerows and nature’s harvest. The Be:Loved team have reimagined these recipes and have curated an effective and luxurious range of products to help care and delight pets and pet parents alike.
They make lovely soothing balms for pets’ noses and paws, aloe-enriched shampoo bars and natural insect repellents as well as gorgeous candles, all of which are super lovely for us humans too! The Boot Room Candle removes pet odours using enzymes which actually remove unwanted household smells like stinky dogs! This is going on my Christmas list!
The packaging looks great, and the luxurious range of British products are eco-friendly, with no plastic used anywhere in the range.
