OK, now that you simply’ve listened to my mini Ted speak on Magnificence Pie purchasing guidelines, listed below are my reward concepts:

The primary is small and candy and excellent: the Unlipstick trio in Nothing On. This little set accommodates the recycled aluminium “Preserve This” lipstick case which can be utilized many times with whichever Unlipstick shade you like; then the Unlipstick itself and an identical Wondergel lip liner. The Unlipstick will get its identify as a result of it feels such as you’re not carrying something in any respect – it’s so mild and sheer – but it surely provides an elegant, natural-looking stain to the lips. Like a blotted down lip color. It’s attractive and this shade, Nothing On, is maybe my favorite. Simply infinitely wearable.

If you wish to actually give somebody an incredible intro to the Magnificence Pie make-up providing then the brand new Patti Dubrof kits are nice. A full “look in a (velvety) field” they’ve a great deal of completely different make-up gadgets included and a few of them you may not suppose to attempt or use in any other case, so it does imply that you simply uncover new merchandise and methods. I just like the Good Crimson Lip package.

For the sister who’s already a crimson lip addict or the perfect pal who’s caught in a make-up rut it’s an absolute delight. The attention palette included can also be pleasingly impartial and never too shimmery so you need to use all of it yr spherical and there’s a brightening eyeliner, a incredible highlighter, a brown volumising mascara and a double-ended eye brush in addition to the all-important crimson lip crayon.

That’s quite a lot of product for £150 however, after all, that is Magnificence Pie so it doesn’t really value £150:

If make-up appears too private and also you’re nervous about selecting shades then there couldn’t be a greater reward than a set of premium high quality make-up brushes. So many individuals don’t know about make-up brushes and the way they’ll remodel the best way you do your face. Does your Mum nonetheless apply eyeshadow with these little foam applicators? Does your cousin complain that her basis is blotchy but applies it utilizing an previous little bit of sponge? Does your aunt (operating out of family members right here) make her eyes appear to be the proverbial p*ssholes within the snow as a result of she rings liner round and round her eyes with out ever mixing?

That is (admittedly) an funding. They’d should be a very good aunt/cousin/Mum. However the Luxurious Make-up Brush set is one thing of a problem-solver and I don’t suppose that anybody could be disenchanted with ten finely-made brushes that mix, buff and end to perfection. I significantly love the great collection of skin-finishing brushes – typically you simply get a token flat-topped basis brush and the remaining are eye brushes – and the sunshine, fan brush for making use of whispers of setting powder. Superb.

Let’s transfer on to perfume and the most secure choice for gifting, which is all the time residence scent. Magnificence Pie candles are nice – lengthy burn instances, trendy styling and fragrances which can be typically fairly quirky and strange. Not your “Primary Fig” and “Atypical Orange” right here!

My favorite is Tobacco, Cedarwood and Vanilla. It smells like an previous library or a studying room in a kind of London golf equipment which have the wood-panelled partitions and leather-based armchairs. Some Tobacco candles are heavy on issues like Oud and I discover them a bit overwhelming and aftershavey for the home, however this one: BINGO! It’s simply very smokey and horny and the vanilla provides it a candy edge that stops it from smelling like an costly man. Not that there’s something improper with “costly man”, I simply don’t need him silently loitering round the home once I can’t see him.

Scent for the pores and skin now and there are such a lot of stunning choices. Magnificence Pie don’t do completely simple perfumes; there’s all the time a shock kick of one thing right here and a twist of one thing else there. The Orange Absolute, for instance, has the sunshine and recent zest of a summer season cologne however with a heat, woody base that retains it horny and earthy. Une Balade en Foret is a cashmere blanket of a scent with a powdery amber be aware set in opposition to the fairly uncommon backdrop of a wintery forest. Nothing simple about these fragrances!
