VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT IDEA FROM SPA AND WELLNESS

If you're stuck for Valentines Day gift ideas for the girl in your life, maybe because she has absolutely everything she needs, or maybe you're just running out of time to go shopping, then why not give a gift of pampering with gift card from Spa & Wellness.
 



You simply purchase a digital Spa & Wellness gift card, and add a personalised message, and after you've paid, the gift card is automatically emailed to the recipient. But if you prefer, you can also purchase an actual gift card at any of the participating places. The gift card is valid for use at 500 different experiences Australia-wide, ranging from beauty treatments such as facials, waxing, spray tans, hair cuts, and manicures, spa treatments such as massages, but there also places you can go for things such as hypnotherapy, physiotherapy and kinesiology or even gym glasses such as yoga, Pilates, swimming and various other activities, or you can simply search here.

And needless to say that there are also 100s of participating spa and wellness places Australia-wide, (which you can search through
here).

What's also cool, is that regardless if it is an actual gift card or a digital one, you can always go online and check the gift card balance and also the expiry.

This is really a brilliant idea. Not just as a Valentines Day gift idea, but all year round when you feel like you need or want to pamper someone special - I really love that treatment options and experiences are literally endless, you not limited to just one particular salon or place, so there really is no risk associated with this, as she is sure to love it as she can do whatever she wants with it.


Spa & Wellness Gift Card - RRP: as much or as little as you like, you decide!

Available from
Spa & Wellness or from participating salons or from Coles, Woolworths, Target and Big W

KAREN MURRELL VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT IDEA

Do you and your other half like to give each other beautiful gifts on Valentines day. Well here's a suggestion that you can pass on to him - or perhaps, you can gift yourself (cause admit it, sometimes the gifts we give ourselves are the best)… and these lipsticks from the limited edition Karen Murrell Valentine's Day Gift set, would be perfect to wear out on a date too..
 



The beautiful gift set comes in an adorable keepsake presentation box with a beautiful pink and red water colour design and gorgeously line with rose gold - perfect for use afterwards for keeping jewelry, makeup or the like.

Inside you'll find a stunning white cosmetic bag with the same stunning pink and red stunning design. The bag has two large compartments, so you can keep your makeup separate and safe when travelling. The smaller side features little elastic straps for keeping your makeup brushes in place, as well as small 'net' pocket where you can store other items such as tweezers or the like.  





Amazing, right! But it's actually inside you'll find the true gift - two of Karen Murrell's best selling lipsticks, in the shades Violet Mousse and Poppy Passion. And I immediately fall for how these lipsticks are presented, as they come in cute individual little boxes, in colours to match the actual lipsticks.

Both shades are absolutely stunning, though my favourite would have to be the brighter and bolder Poppy Passion.

The lipsticks are very pigmented, so it takes just one swipe for full colour payoff, with a lovely sheen. They feel soft and very moisturising on the lips, and have a quite good wear of 3-4 hours, and a little more for the bolder shade - which personally I find is quite good. 





And what I really love too about these lipsticks, is that they are high quality, premium lipsticks, which do not contain any nasties, but are made using natural ingredients including naturally derived pigments enhanced with naturally derived titanium dioxide and iron oxides - and with no toxins, they keep you well on the inside, while looking beautiful on the outside.

The lipsticks come in simple, yet stunning black tubes, with the words 'Nothing nasty touches my lips' and the initials KM on the lid, and they have a subtle, yet beautiful scent.

Karen Murrell is a New Zealand brand, although the lipsticks are made in Melbourne, Australia.

VALENTINES GIFT IDEAS FROM RY

Valentine's day is just around the corner, and if want your other half to spoil you with something a little different than roses which are overpriced, simply because it's Valentine's day or chocolates - then its time to start dropping some subtle hints. And luckily the amazing online beauty shopping destination, RY, have so many great suggestions that it will be difficult to select. Here I've got some fantastic options..
 



Lulu & Lipstick Travel Brush Set - this brush set is so gorgeous. The kit contains must-have makeup brushes, including; 

   
  • Powder brush - the largest brush in the collection, perfect for applying pressed powders or bronzers 
  • Angle Brush - this angled brush can be used for contouring and sculpting the cheek bones, having the perfect fit to fit facial contours 
  • Oval Shadow Brush - this brush is great for applying base colour on the eye, and fits well into the eye socket so perfect for blending too thanks to the soft rounded edge 
  • Concealer Brush - this brush is perfect for applying concealer to help cover up blemishes, pigmentation and dark spots, while making the cover-up looking very natural 
  • Lip Brush - this brush is designed with tighter and shorter bristles to make applying a lipstick a breeze, without getting outside of the line
  
The brushes have pretty and girly pastel pink handles, with gold feature and white bristles with black tips made from high quality fibers. And they are simply so beautiful and will look incredible in any bathroom or beauty room. And should you go travelling, you can do so in style with the gold makeup bag which safely keeps the brushes in place.
   
Lulu & Lipstick Eyelash Curler - Then there's this gorgeous diamante encrusted eye lash curler with purple and rose gold. The eye lash curler is so easy to use, and quickly gives your lashes a nice curl that makes your eyes look bigger and you more awake. And it is so gorgeous to look at too. And what's even better is that you can get this stunner free of charge as a GWP with any Lulu & Lipstick, just enter the code, found on the RY website, during checkout.
   
Lime Crime Velve-Tins Mine Velvetines Trio Set - then there's these cute mini lipsticks from Lime Crime. They are liquid to matte lipsticks and feel so lovely on the lips, and for a matte lipstick, still moisturising. and not drying. I love that they dry completely matte, and then literally don't budge for hours up hours, even if I eat or drink, and they smell divine too. The Trio Set comes in several colour options, including the Pink Rose, which includes
  
  • Lola - sandy beige matte
  • Pink Champagne - golden pink metallic
  • Elle - apricot nude matte
They come in the cutest rose shaped keepsake tin, and thanks to the staying-power of these lipsticks, they can be a little tricky to remove, but nothing that a good waterproof eye makeup remover, or cleansing oil can't handle.
   
GWP's...
RY always have so many great GWP's and they're easy to find on their website too, via a dedicated tap. One other great suggestion, is that if you purchase two products from PONi Cosmetics, you can get an adorable PONi neoprene Kiss Bag absolutely free. And how cute is it!
Samples... 
But that is not all, RY also always automatically send out free samples - with this 'order' I got a cute little RY Nail File, Alpha-H sachet sample and the cutest little mascara from Youngblood. 
Lulu & Lipstick Travel Brush Set - RRP: $74.95
  
Lulu & Lipstick Purple and Rose Gold Eyelash Curler - RRP: $29.95 - but currently free GWP with any brush purchase
  
Lime Crime Velve-Tins Mini Velvetines Trio Set - RRP: $40
Available from RY
