Cruelty Free Christmas Gift Guide: Edit 1

~ POST CONTAINS GIFTED PRODUCTS ~

It’s that time of year again. I can’t wait for the house to smell of cinnamon and warm mulled wine. I’m also excited to spend some much needed time with family and will be more than likely eating way too much chocolate and drinking all the mulled wine and snowballs. Christmas is definitely my favourite time of year, the coziness, Christmas markets and gift giving just leaves me feeling all fuzzy and warm inside.

This year I am treating you guys to some absolutely HUGE gift guides, featuring some amazing cruelty free and vegan brands. I am including everything from makeup ~ Christmas hampers so there is definitely something for everyone! Special thanks to all the brands for working with me on this gift guide.

Cult Candy Cosmetics

Cult Candy is a new cosmetics brand, vegan and cruelty-free, aimed at people who want an ethical, exciting, vibrant, stand-out, rebellious range of make-up that appeals to a way and style of life.

The Cult Candy Cosmetics slogan is ‘Make-Up for Everyone’ and is marketed as inclusive – for all gender identities, ages and styles. It is very much a make-up brand for the current generation. The target customers are not defined by age or job roll, just a likeminded-ness and a desire to express through makeup and personal identity.

The colours are vibrant, deep, warm, cool and versatile. The palettes each encompass eight diverse shades, with a mix of deep and light. They allow for experimentation and as a vegan product the pigment is vibrant and has staying power.

The brand is one of the first UK-based make-up brands to produce vegan and cruelty-free make-up in strikingly modern bright colours. There is an emphasis on beautiful eye-catching packaging as well a high-quality product. All of the palettes and products are dressed with an illustration that brings the vibe and life to the product as well as making them easily recognisable, each created by different illustrators.

I created the most gorgeous sunset eye with heavenly urchins palette, they are super blendable and hardly any fall out, the illustrations makes these palettes an amazing gift for christmas.

Luxe Studio Rose Gold Brushes

These Luxe Studio brushes would be absolutely perfect for a stocking filler for the makeup loving girl or guy in your life, or would even make a great secret santa present. The brushes are extremely soft and can be used for the face or eyes. I love using this K1 brush set for under-eye concealer as i previously mentioned, they are so soft and do not irritate the skin. I love that they are finished in a gorgeous rose gold colour, which would look super sleek on any vanity this festive season.

A brush for everything?! Use the Luxe Studio 7X and 6X with all formulations for skincare, cosmetics and sun care products. Works with any dry or liquid products: pressed and loose powders, lotions and creams, serums and mineral makeup. For effective coverage with minimal effort, these brushes work to massage product into the skin for perfectly even application every time.

Makeup Obsession x Rady

I have been following grwady on instagram for years now, she is an amazing makeup artist and content creator ~ the looks she creates are incredible. I am in love the collection she has created with Makeup Obsession (which is a part of the revolution beauty group) its so pretty, the packing is absolutely gorgeous and the colour stories she has created for the dusk and dawn palettes are perfect for both day and night looks.

If you haven’t tried Makeup obsession products before, this is a great time to try them out or to gift them as there are always plenty of deals going on over Christmas. They are super affordable and are really high quality. Also included in the collection is a highlight palette and what makes this really unique is that is flips into two, you get £8 highlighters for £12 – and a mirror…. its an amazing amazing deal. I snapped these up in a 3 for 2 deal at Boots recently.

Manchester Candles

Candles are a great gift to give this christmas and who doesn’t love a good candle to burn throughout the winter. Manchester Candles are absolutely gorgeous, they are handmade and hand poured and let me tell you, their christmas scent range is out of this world. I was very kindly sent on of their new candles in the scent Cranberry, Orange & Cinnamon ~ A fruity, floral combination of cranberries followed by orange and cinnamon with floral back notes of jasmine and lily on a base of sandal, cedar, musk, vanilla and sugar. It has given our living room the most beautiful festive smell. I love it.

The highest quality oils are used to load the vegan-friendly soy wax with the maximum fragrance that the wax can hold to ensure a quality product. Manchester Candles understand the importance of quality wax melts and good scent throws! None of the oils we use have been tested on animals.

Beautaniq Sheet and Eye Masks

Beautaniq is a very new brand, which only launched in November, they are a cruelty free, vegan brand which has the most aesthetically pleasing packing i have very seen. Within their range, they offer everything from mascara, blush, highlighter to face and eye masks.

I was sent over their product range to try which included some sheet and eye masks, i almost don’t want to use them, as the packaging is so adorable. The Guardian Angel Eye Masks are actually shaped like angel wings, which i think is such a cute touch and makes them a little more fun, especially if you are gifting. There are two sheet masks available, Radiant Glow and Nourish + Hydrate ~ you can also buy all the masks in a vault to meed all your glowing skin needs.

These would make a great gift or stocking filler for the skincare fiend in your family. The sheet masks will be especially good to use after all the indulgence of Christmas, and those eye masks will help dull down the puffy eyes from too much mulled wine!!

Cienna Rose Nail Polish

Being cruelty free, finding a good nail polish is somewhat a needle in a haystack kind of problem, there are so many brands in stores, which are mainly NOT cruelty free, so its great to find one that is not only cruelty free but vegan aswell. Cienna rose offer some of the nicest shades and finishes i have ever seen all packaged in the cutest little bottles. I received a gorgeous gift box of 3 nude shades with shimmer. They are perfect for the festive and party season and an amazing gift idea.

The superior Cienna Rose formula does not contain any harmful chemicals and all products are of a 12 Free Formula and free from Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde resin, Camphor, DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate), Ethyl Tosylamide, Xylene, Toluene, Triphenyl Phosphate, MEHQ/HQ (Hydroquinone Monomethyl Ether), MIT (Methylisothiazolinone), Animal derived ingredients and Parabens.  They are also vegan friendly and cruelty free.
