Have a Pixy Christmas - Gift Guide and Giveaway *International*

Pixy Natural Skincare is a brand I have mentioned many times here in Adoreabubbles blog land. You can check out previous reviews by checking out my Product Review Directory. Born and reared in Co. Cork you really are supporting Irish by purchasing Pixy this Christmas. Pixy was developed to be a fun and fragrant skincare range using pure natural ingredients, I think they have succeeded in their mission. I also like that they are continuously coming up with new fun products for the Irish market.

They have made shopping for Christmas a little easier by making gift sets for all price ranges. Above I have the Red teddy Tutti Fruity bath bomb which costs €9.95 and the newest member to the Shower Mousse family, Coconut Ice Shower Mousse which costs €12.95. You can also pick up a Teddy bath bomb with a strawberry, citrus, lavender, honey and limelight bath bomb. These guys are so cute and make perfect stocking fillers. If like me and you're more of a shower person than a bath person you can pick up the Pixy Mousse in Pineapple, Cocoa, strawberry, spa fresh and lemon sorbet. 

Brown Cow Beauty Boutique in Carrickmines retail Park are just one of the stockists in Co, Dublin where you can purchase Pixy. They are currently selling these beautifully packaged gift sets. You can check out the Pixy Stockist list on their website HERE. Pixy also do free shipping on orders over €10 within Ireland. You can also save 10% off your next order by signing up to the Pixy newsletter on their website.  

To win yourself some Irish natural made Pixy products follow the steps below. Best of Luck and have yourself a Pixy Christmas.

Buy Irish Day 6: Pixy Natural Skincare

PIXY natural skincare have you covered this Christmas. Their range of products made  from natural ingredients include bath bombs, body oil, lip balm, cuticle balm, soap, bath salt and oils, shower mousse, foot scrubs and the list goes on and on! Having an Irish brand that offers variety is brilliant but it doesn't stop there. The entire range is hand made by local people in Mallow, Co Cork. That's what Love Irish, Buy Irish is all about this year. Supporting Irish business which in turn support the local community. 

I discovered Pixy not too long ago at the Pro Beauty Exhibition show in the RDS. I was attracted by the magical aroma that surrounded their stand and I also got to talk to a lovely lady who's name I believe was Eilish. Her excitement for the Pixy brand was so obvious that it in turn made me excited to learn more about it. She told me all about their experience on the Dragons Den and suggested some of her favourite products.

The child in me could not leave without getting the Hidden Surprise Pink bath bomb €3.70. It's pink, covered in glitter and has a toy inside. What more can you ask for really? Oh wait, it also smells like sweet candy! 

Blue Sapphire, my favourite! A bath bomb good enough for royalty! 

Pixy also have a range of Gift Sets for you to choose from for Christmas. They also over free shipping in Ireland to orders over €50. Also for this week only they are giving you 20% off their Pixy Dazzle gift set, it usually costs €49.95 but you can snap it up for €39.96 and comes with eight amazing products. 

I think Pixy individual products would make fantastic stocking fillers. They also make these Pixy Pedi gifts sets which you can buy on their website for €16.95.

I know too many people with foot phobia's so for their sake I will re-frame from showing any picture of my feet. I will say this though, my feet felt so smooth and smelt great after using the Pixy Pedi set, good enough to eat you might say! The first time I used it I went a bit mad on the peppermint cream and smelt like an after eight which I didn't mind! I'll know better next time, plus the instructions say to apply a small amount but as per usual Sarah no patience got too excited and had to learn the hard way! 

Pixy also don't use ingredients made from animals and only test on themselves so I am proud to announce that Pixy received the Puppy seal of approval. YAY!

You can buy Pixy Online and in Pharmacy's nationwide. To stay up to date on their new products and special offers make sure you head on over to Facebook and like their Pixy Natural page.

Lots of Love,

Sarah

Buy Irish Day 2: Bia Beauty

 All the way from Blarney in County Cork I want to introduce you to Bia Beauty, an exciting range of skin care products made from 100% natural ingredients.

The creation of Bia Beauty blossomed after Tracey Ryan took her love for plants and studied Herbal Science at Cork Institute of Technology. As a result of her studies Tracey says "I know how to select the most appropriate herbs and use them in the most beneficial ways".

Tracey sells all her handmade products on her website www.biabeauty.com. Individually they range from €4.95 up to €19.95. You can also buy beautiful gifts sets containing all her wonderful products. I think these would make wonderful gifts for Christmas. 

This gift set contains: Detox Body Scrub 240ml and Apple Blossom Body Butter 200ml.

This gift set contains: Mellow Mandarin Moisturiser 60ml, Orange & Grapefruit Facial exfoliant and Cleanser 60ml and a 7ml Lip balm in Lime Pie.

The Feed Your Skin gift set included the whole Bia Beauty skin care range including the Lemon Myrtle Hand Cream 60ml.

I can not get over how fresh these products smell. Each product really is made from 100% simple natural food ingredients and are even suitable for dry skin. One thing I didn't know before discovering Bia Beauty is that your skin absorbs 60% of what you apply to it. If you are what you eat then your skin is also what it eats. That's why Tracey named her natural handmade cosmetics company Bia beauty (Bia being the Irish word for food). Tracey also tries to order her ingredients as local as possible. She buys bees wax from a bee keeper in West cork and chocolate from O'Connell's in Cork city.

I've liked all the Bia Beauty products I have tried out so far and if I had to choose, I say my two favourite products are the Apple Blossom Body Butter (200ml €19.95) because it is so nourishing to my skin and I love the apple scent. I also love the Lime Pie Lip Balm (7ml €4.95) again because of the wonderful scent and handy packaging. I love them all, the smells and textures are just perfect for me.

You can stay up to date with Tracey's expanding product range on her Facebook page and Twitter
