With the clock ticking on Christmas, I know many of my friends are still in search of amazing gift ideas. Inspired by the list that I put together for the people on my holiday gift list and my personal wish list, here are some great gift ideas under £50 or around $60 ish. Check them out and please let me know if I helped inspire any last minute gifts for yourself or friends and family!
‘Tis the time of year to get shopping for incredible holiday gifts! As someone who loves all things beauty, makeup and skincare, I wanted to compile a list of great gift ideas for under £15 (under $20) with links to the items in the UK and USA. Whether you’re looking for that “something small,” a stocking stuffer or an excuse to treat yourself, I’ve got you covered!
Those that follow my skincare hits and misses know that finding an eye cream has been the bane of my existence. Shiseido’s line of skincare comes highly recommended, so when I saw Shiseido’s Ultimune Eye Power Infusing Concentrate – and the promises that come along with it – I knew I had to try it.
The product is supposed to be used like a serum before eye cream. So, if I’m having such a hard time finding the perfect eye cream, could this be my solution? As in, a booster for other eye creams I am testing? Or, could I just use it alone? The product claims include softening and smoothing skin, improving fine lines and wrinkles, diminishing dark circles, evening and brightening the eye area. Impressive, right!?
While I can confirm that the eye cream is hydrating and does have a temporary brightening effect, it did not dimish my dark circles (I do suffer from dark ones sadly). I tried it alone, with my beloved eye cream and with others that I am testing. On its own, it’s not as hydrating. Together with products, it was more hydrating but didn’t make a big change for me.
As a result, I will not be re-purchasing this product. However, as I suffer from dry under eyes, if you run more oily, this could be a good option for you. I found the texture to be nice, it layered well with my makeup, but it just didn’t last through my workday.

I’ve been getting more questions about my skincare regime lately (I blame the daily IG story selfies, which are all done with #nofilter hehe), so I thought I would do a monthly recap blog post and a video explaining what I have used up and my honest review on the product. I’m also going to do a BIG blog post detailing my current skincare regime soon….so stay tuned. Are you ready to snoop inside my beauty cabinet? Read on!
