Final Thoughts & Tips – Holiday Limited Edition Tarte Kindness Cafe Sweet Indulgences Maracuja Juicy Lip Vault Gift Set 2.7g & 3ml; I love when brands release vaults with a line-up of products in their line, and this is what Tarte have done this holiday season with their Christmas releases. This lip treatment vault really sits under skincare as well as make-up, it features a gift set that includes the popular Maracuja Juicy Lip Melt Mask in ‘S’mores‘, the Maracuja Juicy Plumping Lip Oil in ‘Sugar Cookie‘, the Maracuja Juicy Lip in ‘Coconut Cream Pie‘, the Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump in ‘Apple Crisp‘ and Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump in ‘Strawberry Shortcake‘, which they all smell delicious. They feel non-sticky and give the ultimate gloss to the lips whilst providing a nice plumpness to them. I think my favourite scents are ‘Apple Crisp‘ and ‘S’mores‘, they’re deliciously divine.
– Limited Edition Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in ‘Hot Cocoa’ 20g; this lip sleeping mask is Lineage’s 2025 holiday release, and this time they’ve nailed it with a ‘Hot Cocoa‘ scent. Absolutely delicious! It really smells just like a mug of hot chocolate and makes applying it really fun. I always wake up the next morning with my lips feeling really softened and smooth, moisturised and happy. I will forever keep restocking this product as it has always worked so well for me. I also will always look forward to Laneige’s Christmas holiday releases of it, they always do it in a different scent each year. This hot cocoa one has become a favourite of mine and I’m thoroughly enjoying it.
– Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in ‘Vanilla Bonbon’ 12ml; so this is my first time trying out this product from Ole Henrisken. I have been on a kick lately with trialing out lip products, not just lipstick shades but skin treatments and plumping glosses. What really appealed to me again, is the scent. I’m love vanilla and gourmand scents, so this one was on my radar. I read the reviews before purchasing and am trying it out myself. I haven’t tried it enough yet to do a full paragraph review on but so far, it is really lovely. It definitely has plumped up my lips and the Vanilla Bonbon scent is really delicious. Since it hasn’t been too long that I’ve been trying it out, I’ll have a more detailed update about the product in the weeks on here.

Final Thoughts & Tips – Limited Edition Too Faced Apple In Love Eye Shadow Palette 18g; I was instantly drawn to this eye palette due to the gorgeous warm, neutral and popping green & red shades. I loved that it was released in the traditional 19 shade pan with the classic tin case and built-in mirror. It is the best packaging from Too Faced in terms of their eye shadow palettes and I always find that the formula in the tin cased ones always turn out really good. What makes this even more fun, is that the shadows are very pigmented, they smell delicious & it makes it fun applying them on. They’re really the colours of real Apples and the Caramel Apple scent is beautiful. I love the way it is not too strong scented.
– Limited Edition Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask in ‘Eggnog Latte’ 20g; this delicious smelling eggnog lip treatment from Laneige has been a saving grace for me this season! My lips have been so dry because of my air conditioning that has been on during this hot Summer season we’re having in Sydney, so it has worked perfectly for me. I love the scent, it really smells just exactly like eggnog with a touch of cinnamon and I love Eggnog, so this is right up my alley. I have thoroughly enjoyed it.
– Limited Edition Too Faced Lip Injection Maximum Plump Gloss 4g; I was drawn to this because of the scent, and the fact that it was a part of the Appley In Love eye palette theme. I love when Too Faced do that with their holiday releases, when they release multiple products in their line to match the theme of their holiday season release and scent. What makes this even more fun, is that it is my first time trying out the lip injection product, so far I have enjoyed how it has gone, there is a bit of a tingle on the lips after application but it’s not too crazy. Do they appear plumper? Yes a little, the reflection and shine on the gloss kind of contours the lips too. And, yes, it really does smell like Caramel Apples, it’s quite sweet and delicious. Since it hasn’t been too long that I’ve been trying it out, I’ll have a more detailed update about the product in the weeks on here.

My Thoughts & Impressions – Bath & Body Works Christmas Holiday Range; I love the classic Christmas holiday scents and I think Bath and Body Works really do this well with the products they put out for the season. I think my ultimate favourite is definitely the Snowflakes & Cashmere and the Winter Candy Apple products. I really enjoy the packaging of each item in the collection and I also think they really hit the notes/scents out of the ball park for the Christmas/Holiday theme. Despite having the same or slightly different scents for each season, each year, they always do exciting new packaging on them. What Bath & Body Works products are your faves? Or are you new to trying them? Leave your answer or reply down below by commenting.
Introducing the new No.7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Day SPF 15/Night Cream & Serum range from No.7 Skincare. Featuring a SPF day cream, a hydrating night cream and a hydrating serum, this range is perfect for your daily routine. I was lucky enough to receive this range on my desk a few weeks ago and have since been testing out each product. This is a post of review and more information about availability, it takes a deep dive into how I’ve found using this range, so lets get right into it..
Products & Textures – No.7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Day SPF 15/Night Cream 50ml & Serum 30ml; the protect & perfect intense advanced range features a day cream with SPF 15, it is formulated with shea butter, ginseng extract, hyaluronic acid, rice peptides, an antioxidant complex and the age defying patented complex collagen peptide Matrixyl 3000+. It is designed to hydrate the skin for 24hrs, reduce fine lines, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, soften and protect the skin from harsh UV. It takes a little longer to absorb into the skin but it does after a few moments, and I find a little greasy feeling due to the SPF in it. The day cream comes in a white frosted glass tub jar that holds 50ml, it has a sealable screw on lid. The night cream is formulated with vitamin A, C & E, shea butter, collagen peptide Matrixyl 3000+ and also hyaluronic acid. It softens, hydrates & moisturises the skin. It absorbs quite well, almost like melting into the skin, and it never leaves the skin with a greasy feeling. This one has to by my favourite, it is so hydrating and really softens my skin the most of the three products. It comes in a teal green glass jar with a sealable screw on lid and is also 50ml in net weight. The serum is formulated ginseng extract, alba leaf extract, hyaluronic acid, pro retinol and the patented collagen peptide Matrixyl 3000+. It is to be used underneath both of the moisturising creams upon all applications. It absorbs nicely into the skin and also does not leave any greasy feeling. I find it absorbs quite well into my skin and instantly makes it feel hydrated, softer and more supple. It comes in a teal green squeeze tube with a nozzle to dispense at the tip, it holds exactly 30ml in net weight.

My Thoughts & Impressions – No.7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Day SPF 15/Night Cream 50ml & Serum 30ml; after trying all three of the products over a few weeks, I have to say that the night cream is my favourite of the three. The night cream, is lightweight, it absorbs nicely into my skin, doesn’t have any greasy or sticky feeling afterwards and it hydrates fairly well. Making my skin feel softened, more supple and smooth. I love putting it on after cleansing, then serum. It has a little bit of a scent that is pleasant and fades pretty quickly. The day cream is formulated with SPF 15, it softens my skin and although it takes a little longer to absorb into the skin, it still does it pretty good. It does have a bit of a fragrance but its pleasant enough. I enjoy using this in the morning. The serum is formulated ginseng extract and alba leaf, it is softening, hydrating and makes my skin feel supple. I enjoy it too, in ordering of faves, I would say 1. night cream, 2. serum and 3. the day cream. I have enjoyed using this trio of skincare goodies from No7 and would recommend them to anyone with sensitive and normal-to-dry skin like me. Would I repurchase? as for the night cream and the serum, I would, as my skin has loved both of those. As for the day cream, I don’t think I would as it does have a little bit of a greasy feeling after application (due to the spf in it I assume), and it does take a little longer to absorb entirely into the skin. That wraps up my review on this range of products from No7’s Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced line. Thank you for reading and stay tuned for the next upcoming review post.
