REN Mini Gift Set – Bath and Body Discovery Kit – £16
I adore REN as their range of clean skincare knows how to deliver. This year the Bath and Body Discovery Kit caught my eye as inside you get four minis ranging from their Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash and Body Lotion to their Revivo Lift Body Wash and Body Lotion. Both fragrances smell clean and sophisticated and fill the room once the cap has been opened. Perfect for someone who travels or likes to try out different scents in the shower, you can trust that REN will leave your skin feeling smooth and supple throughout the day.
Urban Decay Naked Basics Eye Shadow Palette – £22
Coming in at just under the £25 mark we have the Urban Decay Naked Basics Palette. This little charmer works for so many people as the matte shades can be used in a number of ways. Perfect for a cousin who could be making their first foray into makeup or for a BFF that is starting to experiment with smokey eyes. The range of matte neutrals means an everyday look can be created with ease and vamped up for night with the addition of the dark brown and black shade. Housing a big mirror for touchups on the go you can’t go wrong with this handy little palette.
