What to put under the tree: Expensive and desirable cosmetic gifts

New Year, among other things, it is still a time of miracles and fulfillment of treasured desires. This time we decided to turn to beauty products that common sense does not allow us to grab from the shelf on the go, but it would be very nice to receive as a gift. Moore Sobolev collected fifteen luxurious and at the same time universal gifts - so that if you really have to spend money, you will not regret it.

Palette Urban Decay Moondust

Californians this year celebrate the twentieth anniversary, in honor of which they made a shock: they completely updated the line of lipsticks and eyeliners, made new tonal means and correctors, released several excellent palettes. Carried away by the novelties, Urban Decay did not deprive with attention also their classical means - in particular, the space pressed Moondust shadow glitters. To the eleven shades available, several new ones were added, as well as a cream version and a palette. The latter consists of eight colors and looks as if it was invented by Ziggy Stardust - that is, divinely beautiful. You can apply it in a wet way, or you can just use your finger - and this is the easiest and fastest way to shine like the sun.

Mascara Sisley So Intense

The luxurious French brand has made a great option: due to an unusual brush-comb, So Intense divides and lengthens the eyelashes, at the same time giving them volume. Adapting to the brush is easy and worth it: the instant result is impressive, and with prolonged use, the mascara promises to take care of your eyelashes.

Lipstick Tom Ford Lips & Boys

Two years ago, the king of kitsch and desperate sexuality released a limited edition lipstick collection of Lips & Boys, dedicated to important men in his life. Tom Ford's heart is big, there were many men - the line consisted of fifty shades. A year ago, Lips & Boys briefly returned, and now the series is included in the permanent collection of the brand and added new colors. Lipsticks will fit even in a tiny clutch (a tube is one and a half times smaller than the standard size) and look like very expensive toys. You can choose a gift based on the cultural preferences of the person donated: for example, Drake is named after the Canadian rapper, and Jake - after the actor Gyllenhaal.

Dior Diorific nail polish

Every Christmas, Dior produces varnishes and lipsticks in golden retrofitted bottles, similar to Christmas tree decorations - the Diorific series pays tribute to the glorious past of the brand. The line does not find the ultra-modern fashionable shades, only red, cherry, gold and, in the case of varnishes, shy pearl. This year, the brand in love for glitter surpassed itself - in the Christmas collection came gold lipstick and gold nail polish, and all this is packaged in the same gold bottles.

Santa Maria Novella produces excellent perfumes and a line of care, recreated according to old recipes, as well as glorious exotics such as smelling salt. Being a hedonistic brand, Santa Maria Novella makes a lot of scented candles, but massage stands out - when it melts, it turns into body cream oil.

Shadows of Burberry Eye Color Contour

The novelty of one of the most stylish cosmetic brands is the shadow of a pencil: with a single touch, you can make a whole make-up, if desired, very quickly.

A win-win for those who prefer moderate makeup.

Scrub Thalgo Polynesia Exotic Island Body Scrub

Ideal body scrub: moderately oily, moderately hard, moderately fragrant (it smells like paradise, but it is not too strong - the smell does not mix with perfume). Like many products, Thalgo promises a spa treatment at home, but, unlike many, it does not deceive you - you really get a great massage with a scrub, it perfectly exfoliates, and the fact that before each use you need to mix it with a special spatula turns the whole story in ritual.

Shower gel Patyka Grape Body Wash

Expensive shower gel - a universal gift. Everything is washed, and it is more pleasant to do it with the help of cool means in a beautiful bottle, although the hand itself does not rise to buy such a thing. The classic version of the gift is the bath line of your favorite fragrance, but if there is no confidence in the preferences of the person involved, you can choose a neutral option. For example, the grape gel of the French brand Patyka - it really smells of fresh ripe sultanas, which is especially pleasant in the middle of winter.

Prime Renewing Pack can be used as an express tool, it is possible as a restoring mask (in this case it is necessary to make the layer more tightly and hold it longer), and you can use the course as a daily supportive care. An ideal gift on the eve of holidays - and even more so on the eve of everyday life.
