Christmas is almost here, but there’s juuuuuust enough time to hop online and order some goodies, guaranteed to arrive in time for the festive day.
Here’s Sandi Sieger’s round-up of bewdy faves, to impress even the most bonafide skincare addict you call a friend.
Peggy Sue | www.peggysuesoaps.com
Peggy Sue have made gifting super easy for the festive season with their natural, sustainable and ethical Gift-Sets. With sets under $50, $100 and $150, Peggy Sue have provided an option for all budgets that encourages our loved ones to slow down and prioritise their own self-care.
The Silk Lip Kit ($36 RRP) is all you need for lips that are fuller, plumper and silky smooth to touch. The Silk Lip Kit contains a super sweet Lip Exfoliant to remove dry and flaky skin while increasing blood circulation and a nourishing Lip Conditioner that locks in moisture and creates a barrier to protect lips from outside elements.
The Peggy Sue Self-Care Trio ($52 RRP) provides a blissful moment of relaxation and self-care that leaves you feeling nourished, relaxed and wrapped in love. Packaged in a unique gift box featuring custom artwork by Tilly B, the Self-Care Trio includes a Bath Brew Pocket that creates a botanical tea bath by placing the compostable brew pocket under running bath water to allow it to release its botanical essence and feed the skin with an abundance of antioxidants. The Self-Care Trio also includes an organic cleansing stick to clean, nourish and restore tired skin. To complete the self-care experience, the trio includes an organic Bath & Body Oil to hydrate and restore the skin. You can pop a few drops directly into the bath or apply directly to the skin, ends of your hair and cuticles and enjoy the scent of the uplifting essential oil blend.
The Peggy Sue Vitamin C Glow Kit ($128) is the ultimate gift providing the most indulgent pamper session that will result in bright glowing skin! Containing the NEW Pink Dragonfruit Face Mask, a Peggy Sue Face Mask Application Brush and the NEW Pink Vitamin C Serum, the Glow Kit provides a spa-like experience and comes packaged in a gorgeous box featuring artwork by Sundry Society.
Finally, and it’s not a Gift-Set, but it is the insta-worthy Blue Tansy Facial Oil (30ml, $56 RRP). A luxurious treat for the skin that actively balances, hydrates and brightens dull skin. The hero ingredient is Blue Tansy, which is a floral extract famous for its beautiful soothing and calming properties. Peggy Sue have blended Blue Tansy with an array of fruit oils including watermelon, blueberry and acai which will feed your skin with an abundance of antioxidants and essential fatty acids to keep skin looking pump and radiant.
