FOR KYLIE JENNER LIPS
Wunder2 Wunderkiss Lip Plumper, £24.95 – Click Here to Buy Now
Kylie Jenner has given us all lip envy the last few years and we really can’t see the vulumptuous lip trend slowing down any time soon. That’s why we have decided that this Wunderkiss Lip Plumper would make the perfect beauty gift for any beauty lover.
There are a lot of placebo lip plumping glosses out there so it really is hard to find one that actually works. We tried this particular one out at the office and we really could see a difference.
The Wunderkiss lip plumper is a controlled lip plumping gloss which means that the person using it can choose how plump they want thier lips to be. You personally add the plumping serum in to your lip gloss and measure it on a scale of one to three – one being the least plump and three being super plump.
In under two minutes, you can have the perfect pout and super kissable, glossy lips that will last for hours.
FOR THE GIRL THAT LOVES SPARKLE
Beauty Boulevard Glitter Lips, £12.50
Go glitter mad this Christmas with these gorgeous glitter lip glosses. We’ve noticed that glitter seems to be quite the trend this season, and Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without a little sparkle, so these would make the perfect gift for a friend, a relative, or even yourself.
Glitter Lips comes in 16 different shades that are all to die for and some of them are perfect for the festive season (we’re talking about the dark reds and sparkly golds and silvers.)
You simply apply the lip gloss, wait for it to turn clear, and then dab on the glitter with the brush provided before brushing off any excess.
We tried them out and loved them, it’s the perfect way to jazz up your look for a party, it’s so easy to apply and surprisingly, the glitter feels really soft on your lips and lasts all night long – no joke, it really doesn’t budge.
FOR THOSE THAT WANT BEAUTIFUL SKIN
Magnitone, The Full Monty Face & Body Brush, £130
Be the bearer of beautiful skin this Christmas with this three in one VibraSonic powered skincare brush.
The Magnitone Full Monty Face and Body Brush helps to deep-cleanse, tone, exfoliate and buff the skin.
It has three brush heads – the active clean, the exfoliator and well heeled, which you can change as you please.
It also comes with five cleansing modes that have auto-stop timers so you have even action across your body.
On top of that, it’s fully waterproof, suitable for all skin types and can be used daily as it stimulates blood circulation to boost natural collagen production which increases suppleness and creates a smoother appearance.

Tria Beauty brings the gift of gorgeous skin this Christmas – and it can all be done at home.

Use this at home laser for two minutes a day – one minute per eye- around the eye area to reawaken and rejuvenate eyes.
It works as targeted beams work below the skin’s surface to accelerate collagen and elastin poduction, which smoothes out the skin and reduces the depth of wrinkles.
After two weeks of use, the area around the eyes will begin to look smoother, fresher and younger – and don’t worry, the Tria laser has been USA-FDA cleared.
FOR THE FAUX TAN FANATIC

Vita Liberata have created this fab three piece luxury fake tan kit which would make a great gift for those who love to be bronzed.
The set comes in a handy wash bag and includes a self tanning tinted lotion, a body blur lotion which gives an instant HD skin finish, and a super soft tanning mitt – to stop those accidental orange hands.
