The Ultimate Bath and Self-Care Experience with Flair Essentials
Personal gifting through online retail platforms has gained popularity exponentially. And over brief periods of ease in restrictions during the pandemic, this seemed to be the only way to offer solace or cheer to loved ones. As the world makes a shift to the digital realm, the need for gifting solutions that adapt to the “new normal” has also seen change. Here at FashionForRoyals, we are glad to see entities like Flair Essentials that not only provide customized gifting that can readily be sent to receivers but also a combination of thoughtful products that are put together like a “hug in a box” to provide the comfort and love your friends and family seek, even when apart.
Established by long-time friends, Ele and Manu have tactfully introduced a range of products that would add magic to anyone’s day. From candles and wax melts to the body and hand butter and creams and bath salts, each of their products is vegan and cruelty-free and lovingly made in small batches in their London studio. So, whether the TLC is for a friend in need or for your own peace of mind, you can rest assured that with Flair Essentials, you will be giving the gift of tranquillity. These artisanal products are put together in several combinations to thoughtfully complement each other and carefully bundled to make what they aptly call a “Hug in a Box”.
Our favourite, however, is the Self Care Spa Gift Set with Personalized Message – a perfect care package for difficult and happy times, equally. Whether your best friend is going through heartbreak or has just had a particularly hard few days, or it is Mothers’ Day or your sisters’ birthday, this pamper box is the perfect way to let them know that you are thinking of them. The content of this “hug in a box” will set anyone on their way to rejuvenation almost instantly; starting with Flair Essential’s very own artisanal handmade Epsom and Himalayan bath salts infused with essential oils. You can choose your fragrance preference from serene rose, calming lavender or warm vanilla. Next is a delicate rose flower soap that you can drop into your bath or use directly onto the skin, for ultra-soft skin. The bath chill pills add a special spa-like experience that transports you into tranquillity. To end this sensory experience the package also includes a rich body lotion and hand cream for smooth and supple skin. But the indulgence does not end there – feel the decadence calling as you prepare a steaming cup for yourself with the Deluxe Hot Chocolate Sachet and top it with the Mini Marshmallows, also included in the box.
Pair your drink with the 5 Heart Shaped Milk Chocolates, put your hair up in the adorable satin scrunchie and set the tealight all from the box, and switch on some tranquil and ambient music for the ultimate at-home bath experience.
With a holistic at-home bath experience such as this, we assure you this immersive treat will become your new weekly ritual. What’s more, you can personalise this gift with a note that the team will print and send to the recipient.
We truly believe there is never a need for an occasion to send someone gifts – especially those that are as personalised and beautifully presented as those from Flair Essentials. The self-care treats are the best way to let someone know they are on your mind and the lovely elements from each of their boxes are sure to set anyone into a sensory delight. So, stop the search – because the art of gift-giving and receiving has never looked and felt so relaxing!
Now, Toni & Guy is an oldie but a goodie when it comes to haircare brands. I recently tried out their 
While I am usually quite good at planning and scheduling my wax appointments, last year, I had to attend a last-minute event – and instead of wearing a gorgeous dress that I had hanging in my wardrobe, that would be perfect for the event, I ended up having to wear jeans instead, because my legs weren’t as smooth as I would have liked them to be. Personally, I feel a lot more confident when I have smooth skin, and I just didn’t think I could look and feel 100% in a dress that evening. Now, if I had had my hands on Smooth Skin’s latest product at that point – it would have been a different story!
Although I had heard a lot about the IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) technology and treatment, I had never thought about trying it, because rumour had it that IPL does not work on darker skin tones. And then, I heard about the SmoothSkin Muse. After doing some research, I learned that this product does, in fact, work on darker skin tones, and decided to give it a whirl. This life-changing product uses IPL technology for hair removal, using the energy of light to break the growth cycle of hair, and prevent regrowth. Having used it for a short amount of time, I have seen some excellent results so I wanted to share my experiences and tips with all of you as well.
As I said, the best part about this product is the fact that in comparison to many other IPL solutions, it works on a wider variety of skin tones. I have relatively darker skin and yet, I can already see the results – there are fewer and finer hairs on my legs. And as if the results weren’t great enough – the product is very easy to use as well! The great thing is that it scans your skin before every flash, and sets the intensity to the right level, to ensure safety as well as efficiency. What more does a girl need? The safety aspect means that you can not only use it on your arms and legs but also more sensitive parts of your body like your bikini line, underarms and face as well. When you start off, it’s best to do one session per week for about 12 weeks, after which you can reduce the frequency to one session every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on your needs.
The Unisex Healthy Glow Tinted Moisturizer is a great product that will appeal to people who prefer the au naturel look. It leaves the skin supple and glowing, but without a greasy or cakey finish. Being a tinted moisturizer, it certainly doesn’t provide the same degree of coverage as a foundation would, but it does even out the skin tone in my experience. It has SPF which makes it a great summer product, especially for casual wear and morning dos. Best part it, both men and women can benefit from its hydrating goodness, and it makes perfect for spring and summer season when you want your skin to be free of heavy foundations soaking up the sun.
