Christmas Gift Guide Part Eight: Lips and Tips

Finally, we come to the end of the gift guide for this year, wrapping up with lip and nail products. This is arguably the largest section, but I could not narrow it down. There are some amazing gift sets around this year. As always, the images and the links below are clickable.

New out this winter, Models Own Wonderland collection makes a very desirable Christmas gift - for making nails look like sparkling snowfall. For a vampier Christmas present, try the Illamasqua Glitterati and Viridian Duo. Models Own and Illamasqua are my favourite polish manufacturers. If you're buying a gift for a classic lady, why not treat her to OPI The Top Ten with a selection of traditionally beautiful shades from pale pinks to vampy reds and inky purples.

A fun, fruity stocking filler can be found in the Body Shop's Born Lippy Fruity Lip Balms, which come in a sweet lollipop case. Or try the Clarins All About Lips set, which contains the Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector adored in the blogging world. If you are looking for some sheer, glossy colour, gift this Clinique Whole Lotta Colour set of bestseller Chubby Sticks. For the girl who dresses in Dita Von Teese style vintage, this Elizabeth Arden Lipstick set makes for a beautiful addition to the dressing table.

Finally, and most excitingly, the Illamasqua Lipstick set comes with a set of pinks in Eurydice, Test, Corrupt, Brink, Climax, and Scandal as well as a lip brush. While more adventurous ladies might be upset at the absence of darker colours or brights like Apocalips, this makes a really exquisite treat as a present.
