Christmas Gift Guide: One for the Beauty Buff
Everyone has that friend who’s a total beauty buff which can be both a blessing and a curse come Christmas. On the one hand, you know that they’ll love a parcel filled with pretty things – on the other, how do you know what’s actually worth the money?
That’s where TR can come in. We’ve rounded up the beauty editor approved gift guide – an accredited list of beauty goodies that are guaranteed to spark joy. Now you’ve just got the hard job of choosing which to buy…
One for the Tom Ford lovers, this gift set combines the rich sambac jasmine infused Jasmine Rouge with an equally exotic red lipstick. It’s decadent, hedonistic and seriously heady.
Sure, it’s the priciest lip balm you’ll probably ever buy but that’s also half the joy of it. It’s a gift that they’re unlikely to ever buy themselves but will treasure and use every single day.
