When it comes to the countdown to Christmas, there is nothing better than getting in the festive spirit with seasonal events, self-care and maybe a little retail therapy. Thankfully, Blomma Beauty have something for everyone, whether you’re shopping for loved ones or having a girly get together, shopping from home or getting out and about; Christmas at Blomma Beauty is certainly a time to celebrate the best of natural, organic and cruelty free beauty…
What makes Blomma Beauty different from so many other natural beauty stores is that they have not one, but two, physical stores within London – Gabriel’s Wharf (Southbank) and Coal Drops Yard (Kings Cross) – as well as a beautiful website that makes shopping from home incredibly easy. Even though Blomma Beauty is the place to buy natural, cruelty free and organic beauty all year round, Christmas is the perfect opportunity to discover everything they have to offer, with various gifting options to suit every budget and recipient as well as bespoke events and one to one consultations.
Events at Blomma Beauty
If you’re based in or around London, or have plans to visit the capital in the lead up to the big day, then a curated event at Blomma Beauty is the ideal opportunity to explore the store and learn something new. From a facial massage tutorial with Casa Mencarelli on 3rd December to bath salt workshops running throughout December, it makes for a lovely experience for any beauty enthusiast. If you’re looking to add something more bespoke to your Christmas schedule, then why not create your own pamper party at Blomma Beauty? Not only can you hire space at their Coal Drops Yard store for any beauty or wellness themed event or get together but if you are based in London, Blomma Beauty can also come to you.
One-to-One Consultations
If you’re a green beauty novice or just looking to upgrade your beauty routine, Blomma Beauty offer a Skincare Switch service that looks at your existing routine, helps you to find products to help with your current skin concerns and then send you home with a deluxe sample pack to try before buying full-size. Another one-to-one service that Blomma Beauty have to offer – that would make a lovely pre-Christmas treat or a gift for someone special – is their facial services that start from just £25.00. With several packages available, you’ll be sure to find the facial for you and have the luxury of being able to purchase some of the products used after your treatment if you wish to continue pampering at home.
Gift Sets and Products
Blomma Beauty really are the place to purchase natural, organic and cruelty free beauty and wellbeing, with an extensive array of brands and products to explore. Christmas is a great time to discover new brands or products as there are a wide variety of gift sets available for all budgets and recipients making Blomma Beauty the one-stop stop of festive gifting. Here are a few of my tried and tested favourites from their website…
Whitfords: Fruit and Seeds Eye Cream – £37.00
|AD – PR Product| When it comes to eco-gifting, Whitfords products should be top of your list as not only are they certified cruelty free and zero waste but each item also arrives in Earth-conscious packaging that is dual purpose. The brand’s Fruit and Seed Eye Cream makes the ideal gift as the formulation is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive, and the outer fibre-pod packaging doubles up as a skin exfoliating loofah too.
The cream is rich and nourishing yet absorbs with ease, leaving a matte finish that is perfect for under make-up. The day and night formulation is incredibly effective at softening the skin under and around the eyes and thanks to the highly absorbent texture, doesn’t leave my eyes watering. The skin loving ingredients including Ecotoin Natural, Hyaluronic Acid, Orange Blossom and Gotu Kola Extract help to tackle puffiness, discoloration and fine lines while improving firmness, elasticity and the all-important protection of the skin barrier.
What I love most is the packaging itself, with a pot that completely eradicates product wastage and allows you to judge how much product you use with each application. The brand’s ethos and the product performance and results make this the ideal gift for someone special (or a nice little treat for yourself).
Silvan Skincare: Revive Set – £36.00
Silvan Skincare’s Revive Duo Gift Set is the perfect gift for those who suffer from aching, tight or painful joints and muscles as it features the brand’s Muscle Balm and multipurpose Revive Body Oil to provide relief, while also keeping the skin nourished and free from dryness.
What I love most is that the Revive Body Oil can be used as a massage oil and bath oil – or applied directly on the skin after a bath or shower – in order to provide the most relief possible. The Muscle Balm has a glorious texture that makes it a delight to use and both the balm and oil have a warming aroma that is a real treat for the senses. They both arrive in the beautiful cotton, branded gift bag which certainly makes it a beautiful gift option this Christmas.
Husk & Seed Skincare: Husk & Seedlings Facial Collection Sample Set – £17.50
This beautiful set of trial-sized products from Husk & Seed Skincare is the perfect way to celebrate the brand’s recent re-brand and explore the complete facial range in miniature. The Husk & Seedlings Facial Collection Sample Set contains everything you need to try a whole new skincare routine – from face mask and cleanser to facial oils and exfoliator – which will certainly help your loved ones achieve that spa-at-home experience.
The selection of six miniature products come housed in a branded, sustainable hessian bag with a ritual card and 10% off voucher code for any future full-sized purchases. If you’re looking to introduce someone special to natural beauty for the first time, this would be the perfect gifting option for them.
Bowe Organics: Lip Rescue Balm – From £8.50
If there is one Winter skincare essential no one should be without it’s lip balm to prevent dry and chapped lips in the cooler weather. Bowe Organics are one of my favourite lip balm discoveries this year as the nourishing, fragrance-free formula, containing cocoa butter, sweet almond oil and raspberry seed oil, keeps lips in tip top condition while also maintaining a youthful appearance.
The sleek, modern packaging means it will look stylish on any dressing table and make a great addition to your bag for on-the-go application. The two sizes available (pictured above) cater to all your lip care needs whether it be at home, work or even a night out – making them the perfect stocking filler for everyone (including yourself!) this Christmas.
Casa Mencarelli: Skincare Gift Box – £65.00
I have been a fan of Casa Mencarelli products for several years now and the quality and performance of their organic skincare is absolute perfection. The Skincare Gift Box makes the perfect gift for green beauty novices and enthusiasts alike as the miniature skincare treats are a great way to explore the range as well as building a complete skincare routine that caters to all skin types.
What I love most is that several of the products are multipurpose, so you really do get more than just five products. Casa Mencarelli offer a very sensory experience with their products, from the lovely bright, Italian-inspired packaging, intense yet perfectly balanced aromas and the vibrant hue of each product – there really is something very special about the Casa Mencarelli experience.
It is safe to say that you’ll be spoilt for choice during the festive season at Blomma Beauty.
