Valentine's Day Gift Ideas: Cocorosa Beauty, RMS Beauty, Eteaket, Connock London, REN & Alteya Organics

Here are my top picks for Valentines Day (products marked * I've been kindly gifted for review):


Totally luxe, pampering and award winning Cocorosa Beauty Egyptian Neroli Cleansing Oil (from £18) is simply one of the best cleansing oils I've ever used. It makes quick work of make up and daily grime and smells divine! I was very kindly gifted a selection of try-me sizes* along with my order which I've loved using. You can pick these up HERE - perfect for try-me or travel (they make great small gifts too).



RMS Beauty Wild with Desire Mini Lipstick Set (£33)* from Love Lula is a set I pick up time and time again. The shades are fantastic and the colours very long lasting. They are the perfect size for night's out and holidays.


Eteaket's glorious Blooming Marvellous Candle 6oz in collab with Laura Thomas. This beautiful candle is created with Blooming Marvellous Green Tea! It has raspberry, rose and vanilla notes in a soy wax base and will burn for 30hrs. It's truly perfection!


Connock London's signature scent Kukui Oil EdP is the perfect gift. As well as looking stylish it is created with beautiful floral notes of Gardenia, Italian Bergamot, Moroccan Rose, White Jasmine and Calla Lily. The scent is enhanced with Sandalwood, Vetiver, White Amber, Cashmere and Sheer Musks along with Vanilla Absolute and Tonka Bean. It truly is a delight!


This month as a Love Lula Accredited Blogger I picked a trio of rose scented products* (full reviews to come!) which are perfect to add a touch of romance and sparkle to your Valentine's Day. They are all simply sumptuous! 

What are you hoping to receive on Valentine's Day?

Valentines Day Treats: RMS Beauty, Flaya Perfumes & The Rose Tree, Gin Galore & Content Beauty & Wellbeing

Here's some of my top picks for Valentines Day (products marked with * I've kindly been gifted):


These chocolate hearts (come in a box with dark & milk varieties £5) from Cocoa Et Co available from Sainsbury's and are delicious (as well as pretty!)

From new to me Scottish perfume brand which is founded by a mum and her two daughters - Flaya Rose Perfume which is gorgeous! Prices start from £12 for 10ml. This is the perfect romantic rose scent and is exquisite! (expect a full review + giveaway soon!) I picked up my bottle in Jan de Vries, in Edinburgh's West End but you can also buy online.

Staying on the rose theme from The Rose Tree I'm currently trying their stunning Rollerball in Rose & Ylang Ylang* (£13.50 for 10ml) which is simply divine.  The scent is truly exquisite, uplifting and calming too. Roll onto your pulse points or a small amount to your palms and breathe in the beautiful aromatherapy scent. A full review will follow.


From RMS Beauty their gorgeous Wild with Desire Mini Lipstick Set (£33 for 5 mini lipsticks*). This set is simply stunning. With highly pigmented long lasting moisturising shades in an array of colours that any beauty lover would be very pleased to be gifted. Again, a review will follow.


Gin Galore by Sean Murphy* is the perfect informative gift for any gin lover. It's a great read and I've thoroughly enjoyed dipping into it and have added a few new gins to my wishlist. Another thoughtful gift alongside would be a bottle of one of the gins featured in the book or the promise of selecting one after the book is read! Again, a review will follow in my book round-up.


Content Beauty & Wellbeing Gift Card for the pleasure of choosing some skincare/beauty bits at leisure. 

Are any of these on your Valentines Day wishlist? Or do you wish for them?

Tropic Skincare: Valentine's Day Treats


I got a total surprise and a half when I received these gorgeous treats from Tropic Skincare to help me celebrate Valentine's Day in style. Nestling on the wooden bath rack is:


Tropic's Soothing & Awakening Bath Soaks* (£38 for 260ml Limited Editions) which I can't wait to test out. Soothing is formulated with exotic Frangipani flower extract and Cedarwood while Awaken is zesty and uplifting with Neroli, Basil, Lime, Lemon, Mandarin & Sweet Orange (reviews to come). They both smell incredible & I can't wait for my next bath!





Rosewood Lip Plumping Lip Conditioner* (£12 for 10ml Limited Edition) is a pot of gorgeousness. The tinted mint balm deeply nourishes the lips leaving them with pop of natural colour. I totally fell for the clear version (link) so know I'm going to love this one too.

Rounding up the treats is Orange Blossom Tea, fudge and a cute Valentine's Day card. Thanks so much Tropic!



What's your favourite product(s) from Tropic Skincare?

Valentine's Day Gift Ideas


Here are some small gift ideas for Valentine's Day:

I'm a huge, huge fan of the gorgeous Award Winning Special Edition Velvet Matte Lipstick* in Damask Rose it really is the perfect nude-rose shade which applies easily to the lips leaving them with a matte pop of colour. It's a suit everyone shade too. Pick yours up at Green People (£16.50).



Tropic Skincare's Lip Fudge Plumping Lip Conditioner* (£12) is a pot of goodness. Rich and almost edible (tastes like mint fudge) the conditioner deeply nourishes the lips leaving them feeling soft, silky smooth and kissable (a full review of this is to come).

From Botanicals I've been testing out their fabulous Nourish Facial Oil* which is scented with roses (making it perfect for Valentine's Day). It deeply nourishes dry and dehydrated skins helping to restore radiance and vitality. Again, I'll be reviewing this in fuller detail.

I can't resist a rose scented perfume and Diptyque's Eau Rose Roll on is near perfection. See my review HERE.


My final pick is Henné Organics incredible Lip Exfoliator Rose Diamonds which I absolutely adore. See my review HERE.

What do you think of my picks? Are there any here which appeal to you?

Valentine's Day: Love It Gift Set by Amphora Aromatics

I've been really impressed with this great value Love It* set from Amphora Aromatics which is perfect for Valentine's Day. Costing only £11.95 the Gift Set is a great gift or treat for yourself.

The set is packaged in a brown re-usable box, tied with ribbon and the products are nestled inside.






So what's inside:

Pure Pleasures Bath Oil 100ml - a blend of geranium, orange, rosewood, sandalwood mysore and ylang ylang which is a really gorgeous blend. To use: pour a small amount under the tap when your bath is running. This is the perfect pampering product and there is enough in this bottle for 8 baths.

Relaxing Body Lotion 100ml - with a blend of Roman chamomile, lavender, lemon verbena and melissa oils. The scent is aromatic citrus which calms and relaxes the body and mind. To use: apply to the body after your bath or shower.

Sensuous Massage Oil 100ml - which is the perfect Valentine's Day treat. It is a lovely blend of clary sage, patchouli, sandalwood and ylang ylang in a base of Sweet Almond oil. The oil absorbs well and could also be used as a body oil.

I've been impressed with the products in the Love It box, they are luxurious but affordable and the set would make a great Valentine's Day gift.
