Christmas Gift Guide: Beauty
With the coming of November, our thoughts are definitely turning towards Christmas, so today I am introducing my third Christmas gift guide, with this one focused on all things beauty. (You can find my first two guides here and here.)
As ever, this guide will be updated as we move nearer to Christmas, so make sure you bookmark this for further reference.
Crystal Glow Lip Oil
The luxurious and ultra-glossy Glass Lip Oil from Doll Smash is a wonderful Christmas gift idea. It is a luxury beauty product that is enriched with jojoba oil, seed oil and vitamins to keep lips smooth and moisturised throughout the day. It is a non-sticky, fragrance free, lightweight, vegan oil that is suitable for just about anyone. It is available in four delicious shades and is an ideal stocking filler for a beauty lover.
tolpa.® dermo face Lipidrio Range
tolpa.® dermo face is a fantastic new skincare brand that started in Poland where it has become the cult beauty brand. This year, much to the joy of beauty fans, it has now launched in the UK, exclusively available in Boots stores nationwide, and also online at Boots.com. Their products really offer everything, dermatologically tested skincare treatments in 3 ranges, for 3 classic issues, dryness, rosacea and acne, They are also very reasonably priced, from £8.99 to £12.99 each which makes them both an affordable treat and a lovely Christmas gift stocking filler.
My key pick is the range for skin dryness, tolpa Lipidrio, the tubes and cartons are a sophisticated dark gold colour which is lovely for those who like stylish skincare, and the use of the key ingredient, Peat, make this not only wonderfully scented, but also so kind to skin.
