Hi, dolls!
With Xmas getting closer, I have put together a little gift guide to help you pick the best presents for all your loved ones this year. I made sure to include a mix of luxurious and affordable picks, so there is something for everyone! I hope you will find this guide helpful - let's get right into it!
This post may contain gifted products/affiliate links. However, my reviews/opinions on products are always 100% honest and I'll only recommend items that I love!
CATEGORY - SKINCARE
For all the skincare lovers out there - massaging your face with icy globes refreshes skin by reducing redness and puffiness, encouraging intense hydration and firming.
This amazing kit from FAB includes their best sellers - nourishing Ultra Repair Cream, exfoliating KP Bump Eraser Body Scrub with 10% AHA, refreshing Hello FAB Coconut Water Cream and smoothing FAB Skin Lab Retinol Eye Cream. Time to get smooth and hydrated skin for the holidays!
Not only is the packaging super cute, but these eye patches have truly an amazing, cooling formula containing a Plant Collagen Complex to help smooth and refresh the under eyes. This formula leaves the under eye area looking and feeling more awake. They are very comfortable to wear without slipping or moving around the face. Each box includes 6 pairs.
CATEGORY - FRAGRANCE/HOME FRAGRANCE
This set includes a classic scent from Lancome in both 50ml and 10ml travel spray, as well as their #1 serum Advanced Genefique in a travel size. All come packed in a gorgeous gold packaging.
Woods of Windsor Citrus Candle & Diffuser
Although these two can be purchased separately, I think they go really well together as a gift! Both feature a citrus, fruity green floral fragrance which opens with a refreshing lemon, orange and melon, warming into a heart of pine, neroli and jasmine which settles to a musky vanilla and amber base.
Yardley's set includes a luxury body wash, moisturising body mist, limited edition diffuser and candle all infused with the English Lavender scent. I think this will make a great gift this Xmas time as it's cruelty-free, suitable for vegans and paraben free. It contains up to 97% naturally derived ingredients and comes in a plastic-free box.
This set is a must-have for all my Vanilla lovers out there. Including Vanilla Candy Body Mist and Body Lotion with the notes of sugar and marshmallow, this duo will tease your senses with a delicious sugary scent.
There is truly no better gift than a personalised candle combined with astrology, numerology and tarot. There is 365 candles - one for each birth date and each zodiac sign has it's own personal scent!
CATEGORY - HAIRCARE
The best haircare gift set out there! This award-winning combination including Elasticizer, Moisture Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner duo, and Finishing Touch Polishing Serum will leave your hair hydrated, protected and polished to perfection!
This is the cutest stocking filler duo that will add shine and a touch of sparkle to your hair, leaving it nourished, healthier and fit for royalty! This set is also the perfect way of trying out Philip Kingsley's best-selling hair mask without having to buy the full-size bottle.
CATEGORY - GADGETS
Get Up & Glow Up LED travel mirror allows you to always have the perfect set-up on the go! With dimmable lighting settings, pop-out stand and USB charging port, this LED travel mirror is there for all your makeup needs whether you are at home or on the go.
I hope you have found my guide helpful and I am excited to see what gifts you are going to pick up for all your loved ones. Don't forget to share with me all of your favourites and recommendations in the comments below!

Introducing the newest and the 11th Kayali fragrance - Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli | 64. If you're interested all about it, let's get right into the review!
This post may contain gifted products/affiliate links. However, my reviews/opinions on products are always 100% honest and I'll only recommend items that I love!
Read my other Kayali reviews:
Vanilla Royale is the intense take on Kayali's classic Vanilla | 28, blended in an intoxicating mix of Sugared Patchouli and Amber Woods; this fragrance forges a powerful, deep, and addictive scent that is seductively irresistible in every way, now captured in a spectacularly luxurious gold bottle.
Top Notes: Vanilla Orchid, Creamy Jasmine, Golden Rum
Middle Notes: Vanilla Infusion, Vanilla Surabsolute, Tonka Bean Accord, Spicy Rose Bouquet, Smoky Leather, Creme Brûlée
Base Notes: Sugared Patchouli, Musk, Brown Sugar, Amber, Royal Oud
The opening of Vanilla Royale is very rich with the vanilla orchid blended beautifully with the creamy jasmine. The golden rum definitely stands out to me and brings a hint of sweetness to this juice - making it super intoxicating. At the heart of this fragrance there is a literal gourmand heaven with the Vanilla Infusion, Vanilla Surabsolute, Tonka Bean Accord and Crème Brulée. The spicy rose bouquet is paired with the smoky, spicy leather to add a balance to these delicious gourmand notes. As it dries down, we get the bottom notes of Sugared Patchouli, Musk, Brown Sugar, Amber and Royal Oud. The dry down is very similar to Vanilla | 28 but think - an intense version!
Get prepared to smell boujee, rich and intoxicating. Wearing this fragrance makes me feel like a Goddess laying in a bath full of gold! If you're a fan of Kayali's Vanilla | 28 and Invite Only Amber | 23, you're going to love this one! Vanilla Royale is an Eau De Parfum Intense fragrance containing a super strong concentration of oils. It's crafted with a unique blend of 25% oils that promise a luxuriously rich, long-lasting scent for the ultimate sensorial experience. I stand by this statement as on my skin this fragrance has lasted 8+ hours without reapplying.
I also have to talk about the bottle of this fragrance - it looks so elegant and classy. Kayali's team decided to do something extra opulent for this juice, so they ended up wrapping the entire bottle in a boujee gold foil, including the bottle cap. The bottle truly looks so gorgeous - like it's dripping in gold!
Final Thoughts
Vanilla Royale is my newest obsession! I am a big fan of vanilla fragrances, especially of Vanilla | 28 by Kayali, so to get an intense version is a dream come true! I am, however, very sad about the fact they decided to make this juice a limited edition release because I truly think it will be one of their best sellers! I hope they end up keeping this in their line up for a long time but in case they don't, make sure to grab it soon not to miss out! I will probably stock up on more as I can't stop spraying this on myself!
Vanilla Royale is launching worldwide on November 16th 2022! Let me know if you're going to be grabbing this one! xo
