Valentines gift ideas from Cosme-de

Crabtree & Evelyn hand cream gift set

Marc Jacobs Honey perfume box

Marc Jacobs Honey perfume
The good people over at Cosme-de are having a themed Valentines promotion at the moment, with products both for couples, and singletons!

They've included a range of products in their promotion which have up to 60% off (mostly perfumes/aftershaves, and a couple of skincare gift sets).  They also have free shipping on every order, so there's no hidden costs :)

For all you lovely single peeps out there, they've also created a page on their site called 'My Bloody Valentine' lol - you basically click the playing card for a discount code - however it only applies to orders of over $150, so for it to be of use you'd have to order yourself a few treats - but that is on top of the 60% discount , so if you shop smartly you could get some real bargains :)

Honey - Marc Jacobs - £39 for 50ml (22% off)
This is my first Marc Jacobs perfume - I wanted to try something which was different from the usual scents that I go for (sweet or spicy) - this is just lovely.  It's a mixture of the sweetness of honey, with the signature floral scent of the Daisy range, keeping it smelling quite fresh, but with a sweet edge. I also love the bottle, with the cute little accents on the side, very cute!

Crabtree & Evelyn Ultra Nourishing Hand-Therapy Set - £20 (36% off)
I'm a big fab of Crabtree & Evelyn hand creams, they're fantastic quality, very hydrating and smell really good (the pomegranate one is my favourite!).  This set includes 6 of their hand creams in 25g tubes.  It's a lovely giftset, especially for C&E fans :) 

They also have a game you can play where you can find discount codes (make sure you do this first, before placing an order) :)

Which of these would you love to receive for Valentines?

Marc Jacobs crocodile effect makeup bag

Harvey Nichols packaging

Closeup of the neoprene crocodile skin makeup bag

What's in my marc jacobs makeup bag

Newsflash - this makeup bag holds makeup!  Right, that's the intro out the way, I've been sitting here for the last hour with loads of stuff I want to type about this bag, but failing to think of a way to introduce it... bad blogger I know.

So this little beauty is by Marc Jacobs, it's somewhat smaller than my old makeup bag, but that's a good thing, god knows I carry FAR too much makeup around with me and almost never use it, so this was a good opportunity to slim down my collection to the bits and pieces I'm most likely to use.

Ever heard of neoprene?  Yep, me too.  Did you know what it was?  Nope, me neither.  Well, I do now since this is a neoprene makeup bag, in a crocodile print.  It's well padded/cushioned and has a nice tie on the zip to make it easier to open and close.

Across the front in a little gold coloured strip is the 'Marc by Marc Jacobs' logo/branding.  As much as I haven't photographed everything I've managed to fit in here, it does fit quite a lot.  One of the things I loved about receiving this was the beautiful packaging it came in - a Harvey Nichols bag, tied at the top, then this wrapped in tissue paper and a ribbon, all very pretty and felt very luxurious.

When I was asked to pick which colour makeup bag I wanted, I nearly opted for the pink, but I thought I'd go outside my comfort zone and pick the green one instead and I'm so glad I did, as bright as it is, I really like it - why stay safe all the time with these things eh?

Harvey Nichols currently has this on offer, reduced from £55* to £11 (bargain!!!!), have a look here. I'm not sure how long it'll be at that price, so if you're in the market for a new makeup bag it might be worth snapping up (don't worry, I'm not on commission, I just really like it) :)

If you haven't checked out the Marc Jacobs collection over at Harvey Nichols, there's a nice selection of sunglasses, perfume and a few other bits if you want to take a peek :)
