Still searching for Christmas gifts? Firstly, what the hell are you playing at! You’ve only got a week! Calm down, calm down. Luckily we have all the best make up gifts that’ll brighten up anyone’s day.
Lancome have their Exclusive Christmas collection all wrapped up in seasonal packaging- ready to make you sparkle. We love the Blush Highlighter Limited Christmas Edition powder, £35 worn with Hypnose Star Christmas Limited Edition, £22 and the Vernis In Love Limited Christmas Edition, £12.50.
If you’re looking for something for someone very special indeed, then Burberry’s duo of Lip Velvet in Military Red, £22.50 and Sheer Foundation, £35 is a guaranteed winner. Nothing to wrap it in? These two fit perfectly in Aspinal of London’s Small Brush and Cosmetics Case, £79 in Pink Lizzard. Plus the red and pink create the perfect clash.
For all nail varnish lovers (aka everyone), Christmas is a great time to get cheesy with colours, glitters and sparkles. Out top picks are:
Organic Pharmcay Emerald City, £11
OPI Magazine Cover Mouse, £11.50
Seche Vite Collected Moments
Deborah Lippmann Lady Sings the Blues, £17
Estee Lauder Fiery Hot, £14.50
One of the best new brands to hit the UK is Japonesque. The beautiful packaging mimics the brighter than bright hues of the make up (that stay put, mind- prefect for Christmas parties!). We made a GIF to show our love of the Pro Performance Lipstick in S10, £15 and Velvet Touch Blush in Shade 1, £18.
Stocking fillers are a bugger aren’t they? Or that extra little something you want to give but can’t figure out what to get? Here’s the answer: Lord & Berry Lipstick Crayons. For a bloody great £8 each, they’re ideal for piling up and trying a variety of colours!
