We're big fans of Darphin skincare here at hellomagazine.com – our complexions have rarely looked so clear and glowing. So we'd be thrilled – though, sadly, also very surprised – to find one of the French skincare company's gift sets filling up our stockings this year. Especially one that also comes with an exclusive handbag. Darphin's limited edition Rock & Glam Clutch, £350, features a gorgeous red Longchamp bag filled with the best in skincare treats for an entire facial makeover. There's Hydraskin Intensive Moisturising Serum, 30ml, to soften and hydrate; Rose Aromatic Care, 15ml, to revive radiance; Hydraskin Light, 50ml, to refresh and hydrate skin; Dark Circle Relief & De-puffing Eye Serum, 15ml, an intensive treatment to revive the eye area; Arovita Eye & Lip Contour Gel, 30ml, to nourish and smooth expression lines; Soothing Mask Eye Contour, 30ml, for cooling and soothing the eye area; Aromatic Renewing Balm, 15ml, an intensive beauty SOS treatment; Vitalbalm, 3.5g, to protect dry lips; Instantly Radiant Stick, 1.5g, a hydrating touch-up stick for radiance around the eyes; Mild Aroma Peeling, 50ml, a gentle exfoliant; and Hydrating Kiwi Mask, 75ml, an intensive moisture boost. The cost of the products alone adds up to the retail price – which makes the handbag a true gift. But for those with less extravagant budgets, we'd recommend Pampering Body Set, £62, a cute gold vanity case that includes Aromatic Seaweed Bath & Shower Gel, 200ml; Aromatic Hydroactive Body Lotion, 200ml; Aromatic Hand Cream, 75ml; and travel size Gentle Shampoo, 30ml, and Denblan toothpaste, 7ml. Each Darphin product contains aromatic essential oils to provide an uplifting, indulgent experience and wonderful skin-enhancing benefits.
