Nail your Christmas Day beauty look with these five products
If it seems like the festive season has crept up on you, and you’re more concerned about how to cook the turkey than about what make-up you’ll wear on Tuesday, then we have you covered. On the right are some of our favourite buys, from the perfect long-lasting lipstick to wear while eating said turkey, to the grown-up glitter eyeliner every woman should have in her cosmetics bag (and it’s only £13.60).
As for that cosy in-between period, when leaving the house for longer than a 30- minute dog walk seems like too much effort, why not have an at-home treatment? They’re becoming very popular, with online beauty site Treatwell reporting a 36 per cent increase in bookings in a year. One of our favourite sites to book with, Blow Ltd, is excellent for top-quality treatments, which you can arrange in less than a minute online or via its app. It’s available in and around London, Birmingham and Manchester.
The team has recently got together with the skincare brand Decléor to bring its award-winning facials into your living room. There’s no nicer treat for later this week after all that cooking on Christmas Day. And for the month of December only, mobile booking service LeSalon (only in London for now) has partnered with one of our favourite nail-varnish brands, Nailberry.
Pick from its selection of sparkly yet sophisticated colours for a tip-top manicure at home for only £30 – perfect prep for a New Year’s Eve party.
