OUR CHRISTMAS TOP FIVE BEAUTY LIST

December 17th, 2014 / Stephane

1. The Scottish Fine Soaps Company

Hailing all the way from Scotland, we have The Scottish Fine Soaps Company right at the top of the list. We are real suckers for beautiful packaging and fresh smelling products and this brand does all of that. So for the Christmas season why not treat your loved ones to some of these amazing high quality products at affordable prices.

The Scottish Fine Soaps Company

From the Au Lait Collection the Milk Bath Power is just £13.95, now who wouldn’t want this on display in their bathroom. Not only does it smell divine, but it makes bath-time so much more exciting. This scrumptious milk powder can be added to a warm bath and you or a loved one can bubble away to rejuvenating white bubbles, leaving your skin smelling lush! Also from this collection is the Luxury Milk Soap which retails at £4.95; it comes in a beautiful tin package and is also made from real milk powder.

Our fav from this collection is the Au Laut Body Butter. As far as body butters go this is well priced and leaves your skin feeling soft and smelling edible; its just £8.95.

The Scottish Fine Soaps Company

The Sea Kelp bath essence is from another collection and is all about recreating the spa experience at home and retails at just £13.50.

2. Zoeva Brushes

Coming in at Number 2. on our Christmas Top 5 Beauty Buys are Zoeva Brushes. Zoeva Brushes are officially on trend and these individual brushes are a star buy as they are both affordable and do the job; the perfect stocking filler for you or your girlfriends.

Zoeva Brushes

Each brush comes in it’s own individual case which can also fit in other make up essentials too. So it’s a win all round!

Zoeva Brushes

We checked out four single brushes from this range. First up was the Stippling Brush 125 retailing at €12.50 – this brush is perfect for blending a base and getting a great finish. Now every lady needs one of these in their make up kit, the 100 Luxe Face Finish Brush; made from natural-synthetic hair this is an essential must have powder brush and is priced at just €22.50. The Soft Concealer Brush 144 is made with vegan taklon bristles and is for blending under the eye to get a natural finished look with your concealer and costs €7.80. Lastly is the Fine Liner Brush 315, made with nylon bristles this is perfect for precise lines and liner. Whether it be on the eyes or eyebrows this helps you get the perfect winged eye or a defined full eyebrow and costs just €6.80. The brushes wash beautifully after use, especially the Luxe Face Finish which would hold the most product.

Zoeva Brushes

Zoeva also carry a range of Brush Sets, so if you or a loved one are looking to build your kit, these brushes are great all in one buy. The sets start off from just €35 and the extensive list can be found at Zoeva.com. An overall great star buy for your loved ones this Christmas and at such affordable prices.

3. Lee Stafford Brushes

LEE STAFFORD BRUSHES

Lee Stafford is a renewed British hairdresser and has over 25 years experience in the industry – so his collection is a reflection of just that. Hailing in at number three are the Lee Stafford Triangular Tension Tamer & Lee Stafford Paddle Brush  The triangular brush has three flat surfaces enabling closer tension to the scalp for extra volume. I wouldn’t use it on natural Afro Hair personally as it would cause breakage especially is you have 3a or above type hair, however for all other hair types this works a dream and is a blow dry must have. So why not add it to the list.

Lee Stafford Brushes

Next is the Lee Stafford PaDDLe Brush, an air cushion base and bristles placed to help prevent hair from becoming split and broken whilst encouraging healthy hair growth. Lee Stafford Triangular Tension Tamer is just £14.99 and the Lee Stafford PaDDLe Brush is £9.99. Both are great stocking fillers and can be bought from any Boots nationwide.

Lee Stafford Argan Oil Brushes

4. Tweezerman 

Lash-Curlers

The Tweezerman Procurl Lash Curler (£20.95) is a perfect stocking filler, particularly for the party season. For those that might forgo the full set of falsies, these lash curlers effortlessly make the best of what you naturally have.

Slant-Tweezers

Whilst other lash curlers might be less comfortable to use and have the tendency to pinch—the Procurl Lash Curler is easy to use and quickly dissolves any fear that you might loose your eyeball with one false move. Another great addition to any girly stocking would be the award-winning Slant Tweezer (£14.95), also from the Tweezerman range.

Contour-Brush

This nifty little grooming gift is designed to offer great precision to help keep your loved one’s eyebrow game strong. Last, but by no means least, is our absolute must-have stocking filler item: the Tweezerman Contour Concealer Brush (£15.95). In a matter of minutes and with a few strokes, this dandy brush will leave you with cheekbones to die for, even if they will sadly be washed off by the end of the night. It is sure to become a staple brush in any girl’s make up bag from the first use.
