Fear not – we got you.

These unique, exciting and high tech beauty gifts will be sure to impress and delight any beauty-obsessed people you have to buy for this festive season.

From gadgets and brushes, to creams and gift sets will have them gasping in delight … and thanking you until we into the new year.

1. Dyson Corrale in Prussian Blue and Copper

We are long since in love with Dyson’s amazing hair gadgets, and never have they been quite as lust-worth has in this new Prussian blue and copper colourway.

The Dyson Corrale in the only straightener on the market with flexing copper plates that shape to gather hair, protect it while you are styling and at the same time reduces frizz, gives you fewer flyaways and comes with intelligent heat control as well.

The fact that it can also be used cordless, well – you’ll never go back to using ones with cords again, let’s just put it that way.

When not in use, simply place it in the charging dock to recharge: fully recharges in just 70 minutes. And with its OLED display, you can quickly see the battery level and charging status, as well as the temperature during use.

2. Slip Pure Silk Pillowcase

You’ll get these silk pillowcases everywhere these days, but this original one is still the best – and an absolute must for any beauty lover.

Unlike standard, synthetic fibre pillowcases, the highest grade (6A) long fibre mulberry silk has been utilised to create a luxurious nighttime experience that is gentle on skin and hair. The SlipSilk pillowcase has been shown to significantly reduce friction, allowing skin to breathe and glide, which reduces pressure on creased skin and prevents hair from tangling and becoming damaged during sleep.

Oh, and as it is also less absorbent than traditional pillowcases, it also protects the integrity of recently applied face creams to help maintain skin’s moisture.
