Let’s talk about volumising lashes. Great for parties, useful for quick every day make up and fabulous fun for when you want to glam it up when going out.  Green People have created this volumising mascara for the party season which contains sunflower oil, Carnauba wax and beeswax which are kinder to skin. We were sent the black mascara from Green People, but you can also buy the same product in brown.

The Green People Volumising is a buildable lash mascara which means you can put on a coat, let it dry, and build up to bigger, longer lasting lashes with extra coats on top. Perfect for when you’re out all day or at work and need to reapply. The beeswax and Carnauba wax mean that you can remove it easily with an oil based make-up remover too. The mascara formula includes vitamin E and to moisturise and protect lashes too.

At £23.50 it’s not cheap, but it is comparable to the department store brands which last just as long and work just as well. You’re also buying in the knowledge that The Green People make more environmentally friendly products which are cruelty free, vegetarian and 98% of the products are natural. How did it look? Plump! The mascara builds up nicely and creates glossy lashes that don’t clump together. Stunning for the Christmas season!

The Popcorn Shed Gourmet Popcorn Advent Calendar 2025

Popcorn never used to be associated with Christmas, but since lockdown, the whole gourmet popcorn industry seems to have exploded. The Popcorn Shed have several advent calendars this year, including this gourmet popcorn with 12 different flavours across 24 windows.

Flavours include classics like Salted Caramel, Peanut Butter and White Chocolate but also some quirky flavours like Birthday Cake (vanilla cake caramel popcorn with sprinkles) and Cinnamon Roll. There’s a few seasonal flavours like Pop ‘n’ Choc (Chocolate Caramel flavour) and Pumpkin Spice too. All of the popcorn flavours in this advent calendar are vegetarian.

This is probably a gift more for teenagers and adults but there’s no reason why children who like popcorn couldn’t try this for advent.  The flavours might be a bit unusual for children but they’re only small packets, so one a day won’t hurt after dinner or before school. The fact that this is gourmet popcorn should tell you that this is the more refined popcorn that you won’t find in the cinema! My favourite flavour? The Red Velvet  – red cocoa caramel popcorn with white chocolate flavour.

The Popcorn Shed advent calendars are available soon on their website www.popcornshed.com priced at £25.00.
