Holidays Gift Gide: candles by Jo Loves, Daniel Sandler and Aromatherapy Associates

Candles always make a great gift and I have already written about some – Aqua di Parma, Malin + Goetz, and Jonathan Ward for example. So today I want to tell you about three other options!

In Love Candle by Daniel Sandler, £30 240g. get from urbanretreat.co.uk

‘In Love’ Candle by Daniel Sandler was created  in collaboration with Jonathan Ward. And as I like both brands (and men behind them), I am excited about this one!

The candle is made with organic soy wax and is hand-poured by Jonathan himself into hand-blown Italian crystal glass. the notes are some of the Daniel’s best loved aromas sandalwood, vanilla, light musk, amber, patchouli, clove, cardamom, violet, black pepper and sheer white floral that he is delighted to share with many.

Judging from the notes, it should be amazing!

Holidays Gift Guide: theBALM Nude Tude Eye Shadows Palette

You can’t really go wrong with a neutral eye shadows palette. Especially with  such a gorgeous one as theBALM’s  Nude Tude.  I also love how they have two designs: Naughty and Nice so you can choose the one your friend (or you if you are getting it for yourself) likes better. Needless to say that I like Naughty variant  myself…

There are twelve shades: Sassy, Stubborn, Selfish, Sophisticated, Sexy, Serious, Snobby, Stend-offish, Sultry,  Schitzo, Silly and Sleek.

The price is $36. These are already available at theBALM website and they ship International for $20.   Some European on-line shops stock theBALM so you can also wait until(if) they have it.

Holiday Gift Guide: Tweezerman Luxe Edition Crystal Slant Tweezers

Keeping your eye brows is a good shape is essential and is a key to a nice look. This is why a pair of tweezers is a must have. I personally have a lot of different tweezers and I can’t see myself without them.

A good pair of tweezers will last you a life time so don’t be afraid to invest in one (or more if you love variety). This is why a pair of Tweezerman tweezers  would make a great holiday gift.

Now the price of these Tweezerman’s award-winning Slant tweezers is definitely on a high end. They retail for $100!* This sounds a lot but remember that they will last you for ages. I personally am still using the tweezers my Mum got when she was a student (not Tweezerman though).

I understand that paying $100 for tweezers sounds a bit crazy but since it’s a present for Christmas  that is a good excuse.  Plus
