Champneys. A brand which I love. I can remember when it was first introduced to Boots (last year I do believe) and I immediately fell in love with the warm, rich scents and the very reasonable prices. My mum also surprisingly fell in love with the brand. Never had she before spent a lot of money on shower gels or body lotions. She just used to pick up whatever was on offer but when I bought her a Champneys gift set last Christmas in the fragrance Thai Royale and she loved it so much that she repurchased the shower gel and body butter. Unfortunately, this range has now been discontinued which is sad for her but good for me as it's been replaced by a beautiful pink collection that has become my favourite! Their Christmas sets never, ever disappoint and I've picked out my favourites for you here:
This beautiful pink collection is the Distant Shores Collection*. This gift set retails for just £12 which is very good value for money considering that you get inside. The hat box that it comes in is super, super pretty and it holds my foundations inside of it. I also have a gold hat box from last year's Christmas collection which holds my nail polishes. So you even get uses out of the box - good, ey? I'm no good at describing scents, as you know, so I've taken to Champneys to tell you the smell of this collection:
"For this collection we've travelled the Earth to bring you wonderful therapies inspired by ancient rituals. Indulge yourself with this collection of tropical, uplifting blend of grapefruit, lemon and orange fragranced body care treatments."
Inside the gift set you get a 50ml Body Bliss scrub, a 45ml Shower Mousse, a 50ml Bubble Heaven, a 50ml Body Butter and a Champney's body polisher. As well as all of this, you get two vouchers; one for 25% off of a Champney's Pamper Day and another for 500 Boots points (equivalent to £5) when you spend £10 on Champneys. The Shower Mousse is wonderful. It foams up instantly and really cleanses the skin but it doesn't dry it out. The Body Bliss scrub is so good! It's really gentle on the skin but it buffs away dead skin cells and leaves it glowing and smooth. The Body Butter only adds to the level of moisture that you skin gets and it's a thick body butter that sinks in immediately and is perfect for fake tanning prep. And finally, the Bubble Heaven is something that I haven't used yet because I don't have a bath at university - boo!
My other picks are the following: Oriental Opulence Mini Box - £12, Complete Relaxation Kit - £25, Bubble Heaven Collection - £16, Oriental Opulence Candle and Oil Diffuser - £20, Spa Pedicure Kit - £20.
You can view the entire Champney's Christmas collection here and all of the gifts are on 3 for 2 at Boots!
Champneys is such a wonderful, indulgent brand and there's guaranteed to be a scent for everyone!
