Crabtree & Evelyn - Summer sets

Crabtree & Evelyn has come together with London-based designer Josie Shenoy to create the vibrant packaging for our new summer gift sets, including travel kits, Hand Therapy sets and more. Josie’s illustrations focus on themes of nature and decorative arts as well as a love of storytelling. At the heart of her designs for Crabtree & Evelyn are the floral treasures found within a glasshouse and the distinctively English tradition of afternoon tea. 

With these as inspiration, Josie has created a kaleidoscopic composition in a palette of vintage colours and textures that serves as beautiful packaging for our premium gifts. Along with the gift sets is the NEW Floral Body Care collection. The collection transforms the three beloved scents of our Flower Water perfumes into shower gels, body lotions and Hand Therapies.

The beautiful intense aroma of this classic flower that remains fashionable. Balancing white jasmine with a sparkling citrus notes. Valencia orange and Meyer lemon add a sweet refreshing edge. While gardenia, cyclamen and tuberose a floral fresh and very feminine. 

I love these gift and travel sets of various scent's, it really is a gift that can achieve anything from calming, extravagance and plain relaxing. New releases of scent's is always exciting. Crabtree & Evelyn really did produce quality sets for anyone you may need a gift for, or if you want a well deserved pamper evening. 

The natural ingredients mean's the scents and the quality is outstanding. As I said  I'm not a floral type of girl, so will stick to mostly fruity or sweet scents. I however now think that smelling nature in full bloom, is the most uplifting feeling to start the day with.The floral travellers sets are inspired by summer fresh blooms. 

It is inspired in every step from the grouping of products, to the beautifully illustrative decor on the hand therapy sets to the sturdy elegant travellers kits hand presentation. Is the best way I can describe this collection.

Two Faced - Pretty rebel palette Review

I wont lie this brand has evaded my experience in trailing, as I've just never been too taken on any release I've seen, However in saying this when this little beauty hit the USA i was hooked to every YouTube review going.  I've never been so spoilt in my life but wow I'm just blessed to have not only beautifully kind and amazing comforts as my friends, generosity goes beyond saying with this gift.  I'm so thankful to my friends. 

They say

Even pretty girls break the rules. Be as rebel as you want to be with 10 powerful after-hours approved (and all new) shadows in the deepest jewel tones, the most bad ass metallics and one scene-stealing pink. The Pretty Rebel Eye Shadow Palette comes in an extraordinary range of 10 new shades in stunning, high pigment formulations for rich colour payoff. Pretty Rebel comes with our signature how-to Glamour Guide with three beauty looks to get you started.

New Shades:

• Girly
• Charming
• Dainty
• Gangsta
• Instigator
• Jailbird
• Totally Fetch
• Ringleader
• Miss Sparkles
• Badass

This is a limited edition palettes from two faced and should be some available still. 

The packaging is beautiful and well designed, plus the logo "pretty rebel" just made me drool and watch others use it.

However my amazing friend sent me

this as a lovely gift and I'm so grateful to her as she is amazing and we both are as bad as each other. As in we all have a rebel in us with makeup (if that's your vice) and well she's my pretty rebel. 

So here are the swatches and as you can see the colours are amazing. Very pigmented, and the shimmer shades are so creamy and don't crease. They almost feel like a cream shadow. I adore them so much as the amount of looks you can achieve with this palette is amazing. 

This one look alone was Girly (3rd up shade left side) its a mix of green,brown and golden. I do hope two faced do these as singular as I will cry if I hit pan on the shade. It's really unique. Plus all of them apply like butter and also you would think wow chunky glitter, however its far from it. I will be looking more into two faced products and palettes, after this experience its a fantastic product. 

The quality is excellent, from the shadows to the presentation. It's unique in the colours as I don't see these other then pigments. The fall out is minor so I use a little bit of paper tape, this is my way of testing for fallout and how excessive it will be.

So this review is thanks to an amazing and supportive friend and lady I call sister as we share so much and just, a huge thank you xx
