They are designed by experts, and aim to provide comfortable use without compromising on their effectiveness. These tweezers are particularly suitable for plucking eyebrows, removing facial hair and epilating other unwanted hair.
I also have the amazing Natasha Denona Baby Gold Palette! I couldn’t resist this when I saw it pop up on the Cult Beauty site. The Baby Gold Eyeshadow Palette is small but perfectly formed – I mean you’ll be surprised with just how tiny it is! The palette features three gorgeous eyeshadow shades in – Log, a creamy, matte brown, Oro, a warm, metallic gold, and Sandstone, a cool, matte beige.
For those looking to for glowing skin this Christmas, look no further than the Pai Skincare The Impossible Glow Illuminator – These bronzing drops are suitable for all skin types, and they’re just what you need to create a beautifully luminous complexion. The formula is infused with with light-scattering pigments to help you look lit-from-within, and also includes hyaluronic acid for moisture, vitamin c to brighten, and sea kelp for long-lasting hydration, resulting in skin that looks visibly radiant.
I also wanted to include the Trigwell Cosmetics Mini Velvet Powder Puff – this mini version of the original powder puff is fantastic for pressing product into the under eye area, and around the nose. This velvet-feel puff is made from microfibre with a sponge centre, and it helps to minimise the appearance of pores and shine, leaving skin with a smooth, flawless finish.
And last but not least, the Blink Brow Bar London Brow Full Kit – containing BBB’s hero brow products, this handy little kit would make a fantastic stocking filler this Christmas.
