Elemis Sparkling Beauty Gift Set Review

As I have mentioned, entering competitions is a hobby of mine, and recently I was lucky enough to win an Elemis Sparkling Beauty Gift Set from Coupobox UK on Facebook in conjunction with skinhq.

I have sensitive skin which can be oily and spot prone, so I am always keen to try new products and see if they can soothe my skin.


Having used Elemis before I know my skin does not usually react badly to their products so I had no qualms about getting stuck into a pampering session!


The Gift set is priced at £50 and contains:

• A stunning fuchsia pink cosmetic bag
• New Elemis Eau de Parfum 4ml
• Visible Brilliance 10ml
• Pro-Collagen Lifting Treatment Neck and Bust 15ml
• Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules 14 caps
• Pro-Collagen Marine Cream 30ml

The cosmetic bag is a lovely girly pink, and will be very useful for going away. The first thing I did was to smell the perfume - a lovely fresh scent, similar to Clinique's 'Happy'. Very nice indeed. Next I investigated the Skin Bliss Capsules. The pot contained 7 green (Lavender) capsules to be used at night, and 7 pink (Rose) capsules to use in the morning. As it was evening, I selected a green one, and was pleasantly surprised by the scent. As directed I warmed the oil in my hands and spread it over my face. It easily smoothed onto my skin, and I found my skin feeling nice and smooth already.

Leaving it to settle for a while, I then applied some of the Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. Again this had a lovely fresh smell, and I only needed a very small amount to cover my whole face. It was not greasy at all, and was quickly absorbed by my skin, leaving it feeling smooth and light.
A dab of the Visible Brilliance around my eyes left them feeling cool and soothed.

Face done, I inspected the tube of Neck & Bust Treatment. To be fair, I usually just use a body cream all over, and have never used a bust specific cream, so I was interested to see if there would be much difference. It left me feeling very soft and smooth, more so than usual, and again absorbed quickly into my skin without leaving a greasy residue.

The next morning, I found that my skin felt lovely and smooth, and my foundation was definitely easier to apply.

Initially I thought that the price tag of £50 (from skinhq) might be a bit steep, but the products although small sizes will last a while as you only need a small amount, and it is an ideal way to test whether the product is suitable for your skin type.

A big thanks to Coupobox UK and skinhq for giving me the opportunity to try such lovely products.
