Not only are the brush sets animal and cruelty free but they come in three beautiful colours, black and rose gold, white and rose gold, and a limited edition, peach metallic. Each set comes in a cute Iconic pouch, which could easily double up as a make up bag for when you’re on the go.

We tried and tested these make up brushes and they really are lifechanging, our finished make up look was so much more flawless than before, the brushes dont malt on your face and they’re so soft and easy to use – we’d definitely love these as a crimbo present.

 

FOR KYLIE JENNER LIPS

Wunder2 Wunderkiss Lip Plumper, £24.95 – Click Here to Buy Now

christmas-beauty-wunderkiss-gift-guide-by-healthista

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

christmas-beauty-glitter-lips-gift-guide-by-healthista

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.
