Last Minute Christmas Gift Inspiration 2017

Foundation – Le Teint Ultra Tenue, Chanel

Laura notes this as the ‘Best Foundation Ever’!!!! “I’ve just started using this on my combination skin and so far I have really noticed a difference in my complexion. I feel it’s rebalanced, mattified and hydrated whilst offering a full yet glowing complexion”. Praise enough! 

Best Budget Buy – Lacura Cuvee Royal Serum Concentrate, Aldi

Aldi’s Lacura Cuvee Royal range has revolutionised budget shopping! Laura has been using the Serum Concentrate - and again has “instantly fallen in love with the texture, smell and hydration it’s offered my winter parched skin”. Laura is always one to practice what she preaches, so I’m sure she’s drinking her 2 litres of water a day but during the festive season it’s especially important to remember the importance of drinking water to hydrate our skin from the inside also!

Best Multi-Tasker – MAC Grapefruit and Chamomile Essential Oils

This is ideal for dry areas, cuticles, a night time skin treat or creating additional glow to tired winter skin.

Laura’s favourite Christmas plum lippy – L’Oreal Colour Riche Matte Addiction in Plum Tuxedo

This is perfect for winter days and glam nights out. I think this shade would suit almost all colourings. It has a lovely texture with longevity, plus the cool tone helps teeth appear whiter and whites of the eyes brighter.

Best Mascara – MARC JACOBS Velvet Noir Major Volume

This is Libby’s top pick for the Festive Season! “With just a couple of strokes I get a really dramatic effect! It dries quickly on my lashes, which I find useful when I’m rushing out in this freezing weather as my eyes always water as soon as I walk out of the house!”

Becky’s go-to product for this time of year! – MAC Lip Scrubtious in Sweet Vanilla

 “It keeps my lips looking smooth in this cold weather! I use in the morning to make my lips smooth enough to wear my deep Christmas Reds!”

One for the men - Baylis & Harding Men's Kit, Black Pepper and Ginseng

This is Chris’s top winter pick!! Chris particularly likes his recent purchase of black pepper and ginseng wash and shave products as he said it feels and smells like being in a hotel over Christmas!!
