The Beauty Insider:
pampering beauty gifts

Finding the perfect present is hard enough at the best of times, but what do you buy someone who seemingly has it all? Luckily, we have it covered with our top 10 luxurious treats every beauty buff will love. You can thank us later. 

La Mer Body Creme
La Mer – The Body Crème

La Mer Body Crème 

During her ‘Bennifer’ days (way back in 2004 – we know, right?), it was widely reported that Jennifer Lopez loved Crème de la Mer so much she would lavishly cover her whole body in it (as opposed to solely on her face). Quite the splurge, Jo-Lo. For someone who deserves the A-list treatment, the gorgeous Body Crème is a more practical option. The soft, whipped formula is infused with La Mer Miracle Broth (used in all its skincare), which nourishes the skin and leaves a comforting, powdery scent.

Dyson Supersonic hairdryer set

Ask any hard-working woman what they lack most in their life and we reckon most would say time. Enter, then, one of our favourite time-saving beauty devices: the Dyson hairdryer. Using the same technology as a classic Dyson hand dryer, this model halves drying time and is significantly lighter than other counterparts on the market, making for a quick, easy and enjoyable styling experience. Now available in a striking red shade, it delivers on the function and form fronts in bucket loads. One word: genius.

Armani Privé – Bleu Turquoise and Bleu Lazuli

///

Armani Privé Bleu Turquoise and Bleu Lazuli

Each year, Giorgio Armani unveils new Armani Privé editions in his La Collection des Terres Précieuses, which he originally created as gifts for his friends (urm, Giorgio, can we be in your gang?). Inspired by his travels to India, the latest scents – Bleu Turquoise and Bleu Lazuli – encapsulate the aromas of the beguiling country. Housed in luxurious bottles that look like they’ve literally been carved out of their respective natural gemstone, choose from the oriental, spicy Bleu Turquoise or the sweeter, more floral Bleu Lazuli. If they’re good enough for Armani’s mates, we reckon they’re good enough for yours.
