Christmas Gift Inspiration... Frosted Plum Collection!!

I'm The Body Shops number no 1 fan and when it comes to buying Christmas Presents you literally can't pass it by, as they have the most amazing Christmas Gifts available. 

There is so much variety to choose from and there is something to suit everyone's tastes and budget. 

Take a look at some of the fantastic gifts on offer this holiday season. 


I've been using some of the seasonal Frosted Plum products and I just love these, they smell amazing. 

Here's what I've been trying out: 






The Frosted Plum Feel Good Tin. 

This costs €29.95 and it consists of:

  • Frosted Plum Shower Gel 60ml

  • Frosted Plum Shimmer Lotion 60ml

  • Frosted Plum Body Butter 50ml

  • Frosted Plum Sugar Scrub 50ml 

If you want a real treat for yourself or your loved ones, then this is the gift for you. You feel and smell amazing after using these festive treats. 

I've also been trying these too: 



The Frosted Plum Bath Fizzers. 

These cost €20.50 for a jar of 10 fizzing cubes. 

They do exactly what they say on the jar, they fizz up your bath with a delightful fruity floral fragrance with notes of ripe plum, peony and magnolia. 

Frosted Plum Lip Balm, 20ml, this costs €6.50. 

I adore the body shop Lip Balms, they are my favourite, the always taste so good and leave your lips feeling so soft. 

My absolute favourite of the Frosted Plum range is the Frosted Plum Shimmer Mist Globe. This costs €14.50 for 100mls. 

If you haven't seen these, you need to go check them out. You sparkle and smell so good after spraying this on your skin. The scent doesn't fade either, it lingers all day leaving you feeling all festive, I love this. I want this is every scent available.

These are a perfect stocking filler.

The Billion Dollar Brows collection at Boots will feature brow tools, pencils, gels and powders to achieve amazing brow shapes that will transform your face.

This kit Includes two of the most popular Billion Dollar Brow products, the Brow Powder and a Brow Brush. 
The Brow Powder glides onto your brows with ease and leaves a natural looking finish. Sparse brows immediately appear thicker and fuller. 

The Brow Brush has an angled bristled end that is ideal to precisely define brows as it allows you to apply brow powder in a clean, soft line. 
The spoolie end works to blend powder or pencil for natural looking perfection and a beautifully defined arch.
This costs €34. 




Billion Dollar Brows, Brow Gel.
This Brow Gel is really great, after perfecting your brows, it holds the hairs in place for a polished finish.
