Looking good makes you feel good! its simple, but to create that perfect hair you often need the right tools! If you are looking to give a straightener or curling iron as a gift this christmas and want to be sure you know its good quality, I would invest in the brand HOT TOOLS. Their plates are made of ceramic titanium which is the latest technology which allows the hair to become sleeker and smoother so you can visibly see the difference!

The black eyeliner, while I know I am not the only person who will be waiting inline for the relaunch of feline on the 26th December but while we wait, the next blackest kohl liner on the market is smoulder by MAC but if you are looking for a liquid feel, the back gel eyeliner by Bobbi Brown is my best find. It gives a consistent darkness and also allows play time with the application.

The one product that is loved by all men when I use it is the Bed Head style & finish workable wax for men. Dries to a matt finish its easily moldable in the hands without leaving them sticky and gives a great hold to the hair. Give this gift to your guy for christmas watch him fall in love with it.

This is the season for parties and having fun dressing up and creating different styles and looks. To create that perfect hair it all starts with the right hair products. Favorite line that i recommend to everyone, Bumble and Bumble! They have great styling products for all types of hair, to achieve any kind of look! Try gellac for that intense look that just won’t budge or the curl conscious creme to define that wave. Or try the grooming creme and the de-frizz to smooth any hair cuticle down. And finish off with the quick spritz of the the Bb shine spray for a lightweight glimmer to the hair! All products come in travel size making great gifts for the stocking.

Foundation! It’s the base of the makeup to create a flawless complexion and it can be very hard to find the right texture with the right pigment. Ive tried and tested alot of different foundations but the line i have always remained loyal to when regarding foundations is Lancome and im very excited about the new launch of Teint Miracle this December. Loreal has created an oil free foundation that gives 18 hours of hydration with light reflecting pigments to give a radiant shine to the skin! I will be one of the first in line to try this new foundation! http://www.lancome-usa.com/Teint-Miracle/1000454,default,pd.html
