There’s no better way to start feeling festive than transforming your house into your very own Santa’s Grotto.
Much to my disappointment, in my house it seems to be a rule that no decorations go up until to December 1st… BUT as the Arbonne Festive Line has already been released and I was itching to share some of it with you, I had a great excuse to start decorating so that I could show it off…
Even though it gets darker so much earlier in the evenings, I’m really starting to enjoy it as it gives me an excuse to light up my collection of candles and turn the christmas lights on which makes it feel so festive and cosy.
And now I get to sit here and write this with all of my candles surrounding me, the fire on and a big cup of (my favourite) bourbon vanilla tea.
The 2016 Arbonne Festive Collection has a substantial choice of gifts to choose from but I thought I’d choose my four favourites to share with you.
1. Tahitan Coconut Lip Therapy Set
This set includes a Lip Smoother and Lip Salve.The Lip Smoother gently exfoliates the lips, getting rid of the dry, flaky skin leaving you with hydrated and smooth lips. The Lip Smoother features grapeseed oil & coconut which smooths and softens & dragon fruit extracts which hydrates. The Lip Salve leaves you with moisturised and hydrated lips as it features shea butter & coconut oil which hydrates & conditions, and meadowfoam seed oil which soothes dry skin.
How to use:
- Massage a small amount of the Lip Smoother and then rinse off.
- Follow with the moisturising Lip Salve.
My favourite part of this set is the smell of it… I love coconut and I don’t think you can ever go wrong with it. Also the feel when you apply it as it just glides onto your lips and moisturises so quickly. This pretty set is essential for the party season or could be the perfect present for someone you love.
2. Shea Butter Collection Hand Lotion Trio
These 3 lotions are made up of a Lavender Mint lotion, an Apricot Vanilla lotion & our Original Shea Butter. It is possible to purchase the Apricot Vanilla lotion individually. Shea Butter moisturises to soften skin, Vitamin E is used within these to soften & nourish and Sesame Seed oil is used to soothe the skin.
3. Olive Blossom & Eucalyptus Gift Set
This set includes a Cleansing Body Polish & a moisturising Body Butter. The Body Polish exfoliates dead skin cells leaving skin soft and smooth. The Body Butter moisturises and keeps your skin hydrated and smooth. Eucalyptus oil is one of my favourite scents (as I’ve said before). It is super refreshing, but also soothing, and goes perfectly well with the naturally derived essential oils inspired by fragrant blossoms. Olive oil fruit extract is also used within this to enhance the conditioning & moisturising of the skin.
How to use:
- The Body Polish is used in the shower/bath to exfoliate and then rinse off.
- The Body Butter is used afterwards to moisturise.
I think this is my favourite product from the festive collection (it was hard to decide). I love the refreshing scent and how well both of these products work. It is such a great gift to give as everybody needs a good body polish & body butter in their life.
4. Pampermint Foot Care Duo & Socks
This set includes an exfoliating Foot Scrub, moisturising Foot Cream (and even a pair of fluffy socks)! The Peppermint essential oil makes this feel even more festive. If you like After Eight Mints then you will LOVE the smell of this. The fluffy socks should be worn after using the foot cream to enhance the moisturising effect. Avocado oil is used in these products to to hydrate and soothe. Mandarin Orange Peel Oil extract is also used to soften and nourish.
How to use:
- Apply & massage all over feet and then rinse off.
- Apply all over feet, focusing on the heels.
- Slip into fluffy socks.
