From luxury skincare brand Matis, comes a skincare duo that’s perfect for sensitive skin – making it great to gift as it’s non-irritating for all.

Tropic The Skincare Selection Box
Do you remember chocolate selection boxes from our childhood? Well here’s the grownup version (not that there’s anything wrong with a chocolate one at my age that is…)!
This is such a great gift from Tropic Skincare, a brand focused on organic ingredients and a thoughtful approach to the environment. Their products are clinically backed and a joy to use!
This kit includes a couple of my favourites from the brand, including the Smoothing Cleanser, Skin Dream night Cream, and Youth Potion. The Tropic skincare bamboo face cloths are also my favourite cloths ever—they’re so soft—just don’t tell the others that I said that…
Collection includes

OLAY a power Of Smooth Giftset – £69
OLAY brings us some wonderful skincare gift sets this year that highlight their best-selling products. The Power of Smooth Giftset aims to reveal smoother and firmer skin. It makes a perfect gift for anyone looking to amp up their skincare routine and start the new year with a glow.
The set contains a serum and night cream.
Super Serum is formulated with Niacinamide, Vitamin C, Collagen Peptide, Vitamin E, and Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA). This quintuplet helps improve skin texture and tone and promotes hydration.
Retinol 24 night Cream utilises Retinyl Propionate to support well ageing while Vitamin E helps to target free radical damage. The results? Firmer-looking skin and a visible softening of fine lines.
Both of these products contain active ingredients therefore I always advocate wearing SPF alongside during the daytime.
OLAY a power Of Smooth Giftset £69 is available here*
Emma Hardie Nourish & Glow Set
One of my favourite cleansing balms in a beautiful gift set? I just had to recommend this one! This year, the Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm celebrated its 15th birthday, it’s iconic! It’s a balm that has won many accolades but to me, the most important thing is that it’s both effective and a dream to use. It’s a cleanser that makes light work of removing makeup, SPF and the day’s build-up of oils yet still feels like a treat for your skin. Alongside the balm comes the Brilliance facial oil which is perfect to amp up nourishment during the winter months. The detox mask is a great one to have on hand over the party season.
Set includes:
- Moringa Cleansing Balm 50ml
- Brilliance Facial Oil 30ml
- Purifying Pink Clay Detox Mask 15ml
- Dual Action Cleansing Cloth

Ante Beauty Kanye Radio Frequency Device
The device uses Multi-Max T™ RF Technology and Self-Adaptive Microcurrent EMS to target signs of skin ageing.
It is designed to boost skin’s elasticity while visibly improving the appearance of fine lines.
What is Multi-Max™ RF Technology I hear you ask? The device works by multipolar RF technology that sends radio frequency waves between the device poles, via the dermis. This heats the dermis and in turn, stimulates collagen production.
The Kanye also features Microcurrent EMS, which stimulates muscles & lifts and tones the face. It’s a device with dual impact, working on boosting collagen production while simultaneously toning and firming muscles. It’s a game-changer.
The Kanyen RF device is user-friendly with 3 modes to suit individually.
It comes with a 2-year warranty.

Urban Decay NAKED Palette Limited Edition
She’s back! This is a perfect makeup gift for the beauty addict in your life. A little back story (if you will allow me), Urban Decay’s Naked palette was the palette that started large pan palettes. At a time when YouTube beauty was taking off, this palette stormed into fandom and suddenly we had a market for eyeshadow palettes with many shades. It became the palette everyone wanted. Like many things, as times changed, the brand discontinued the NAKED palette but she’s back for a limited time only!
It’s a colour story that suits most people, has a beautiful neutral range of shimmers and mattes and is the true fan favourite palette; perfect for any makeup lover.
