L’Oréal Professionnel SteamPod 4
They say: An updated version of the professional-quality steam hair straightener, the 4.0 features ergonomic outer plates that heat to 100 C to help create bouncier, more defined curls. The patented steam technology of this heat-styling tool promises to provide faster styling, smoother hair and 95 per cent less damage.
We say: A huge fan of previous SteamPod models, our tester was excited to try this new release. Easy to use and quick to heat up, she’s found this steam straightener is among the best on the market to turn her frizz-prone curly hair into sleek, straight strands that last until the next wash. The addition of the metal outer plates improves the curling experience to give a subtle wave to strands or some extra bounce to ends.
Chanel The Beige Gold Body Oil
We say: A holiday favourite for fashion and beauty lovers alike, this nourishing body oil gives skin a perfect, luxurious kiss of shimmer, hydration and scent.
Quo Beauty Complexion Wedge Trio
They say: A special holiday brush set from Quo beauty that features three complexion tools. Featuring synthetic bristles, the brushes have a wedge-shaped taper for better blending and precision.
We say: In our experience, Quo beauty brushes offer good value and excellent performance. Featuring a Foundation Wedge Brush, a Multi-Purpose Wedge Brush, and a Concealer Wedge Brush, this holiday trio offers a blending tool to fit every skin-perfecting base product. The densely packed bristles and unique wedge shape make buffing and blending easy and mess free.
