Handmade beauty treats arrive for Christmas

Handmade cosmetics brand Lush launched its Christmas 2026 collection on November 6, introducing new holiday-themed bath, body and skin care products, including cheesecake-scented body butters, chocolate orange shower gels and a packaging-free version of its popular Snow Fairy shower gel. Available in stores and online, the festive lineup combines new product formulations and seasonal fragrances with returning Christmas favorites, alongside pre-wrapped gift sets for holiday shoppers. Among the highlights is the return of Snow Fairy, the brand’s popular bubblegum and candyfloss fragrance first introduced in 2005. This year’s collection features the signature scent in 20 product types, including the new packaging-free shower gel. The fragrance remains one of the brand’s biggest seasonal attractions, with Lush Manufacturing producing more than 5.5 million Snow Fairy products worldwide in 2025. For bath lovers, the new collection includes Christmas-themed bath bombs and bubble bars, with options ranging from candy-scented bubbles to products inspired by a calming Arctic escape. The lineup also includes gentler bathing products for sensitive skin. Bath bombs have been part of Lush’s identity since co-founder Mo Constantine invented the product in her garden shed in 1989. In 2025 alone, the company’s UK manufacturing operations produced more than 11.9 million bath bombs. The shower and soap range, meanwhile, features festive fragrances ranging from cinnamon to citrus, along with new stocking fillers such as Santa soaps. The brand is also expanding its packaging-free offerings. New additions to the lip care category include scrubs, butters and jelly masks made with fresh, seasonal ingredients. Hand-blended in Dorset, England, the products are formulated to help soften and moisturize dry lips. For fragrance enthusiasts, the Christmas selection offers spiced perfumes and warm, nostalgic body sprays, while the body care range includes gourmand-inspired moisturizers and shimmering powders for a festive finishing touch. Beyond the products themselves, Lush continues to emphasize handmade production, ethically sourced ingredients and environmentally conscious packaging. For added shopping convenience, customers can also choose from ready-wrapped gifts, click-and-collect services and instant electronic gift vouchers.

A golden celebration of love, friendship and generosity

Society philanthropist Virginia Lane and her husband, Gerry Lane, marked two special milestones with an elegant reception at the Main Lounge of the Manila Polo Club — their 50th wedding anniversary and Virginia’s birthday. Adding a touch of old-world charm to the occasion, guests arrived dressed in 19th-century-inspired attire, evoking the romantic elegance of “Bridgerton” and the grandeur of Regency-era England. The celebration brought together history, fashion and sophistication. The evening’s culinary highlights were prepared by Cibo by Margarita Fores, featuring an array of Italian specialties, including Philippine sea bass and grilled portobello mushroom steak. In keeping with the couple’s gracious spirit, Virginia and Gerry requested no gifts, saying that the presence of family and friends was more than enough to make the occasion special. For those who wished to express their generosity, however, the couple welcomed donations to a charity of their choice. Such gestures, they said, would be deeply appreciated and help bring hope and assistance to those in need. The celebration was not only a tribute to five decades of love and togetherness but also a reflection of the couple’s appreciation for friendship, gratitude and the spirit of giving.
