GIVEAWAY HOUSE OF HOPSTOCK WITH SKIN ALCHEMISTS Tropical climes are out of reach for now, but perhaps solace could be found in this beautiful bag of goodies from House of Hopstock, in collaboration with Skin Alchemists. The bold, colourful artwork of the makeup bag, accompanying brush bag and cottonvelvet eyemask (stuffed with Cotswold lavender) is the work of illustrator and designer, Aase Hopstock who seeks to bring beauty and joy to the everyday. The vivid print features Hopstock’s signature flora-fauna inspired designs and the lushness continues with a selection of indulgent, award-winning organic skincare by Skin Alchemists contained within. Skin Alchemists’ founder, Theresa, is St Lucian-born and all products in the collection – soap slice, facial cleansing oil, body oil and scrub, and the Midnight’s Serenade candle – are designed to nourish and nurture. Ingredients are sourced directly from independent farmers wherever possible and the tropical scents promise transportation to a sensory paradise. Available in a selection of sizes, from A Taste of Paradise (£25) right up to the biggest and the best, Island Dreams, of which we have one to give away to a lucky reader. Visit oxmag.co.uk/ competitions to enter, stating your choice of colour – the deep tropical blues and greens of Harvest or the wild pinks and reds of Ruby. The full set is worth £139.50 but is retailing for the snap-it-up-now price of £85. houseofhopstock.com | skinalchemists.com
