(That means no formaldehyde, no formaldehyde resin, no DBP, No toluene, no camphor, no ethyl tosylamide, no xylene, and no TPHP!) Instead think vitamins & nutrients to help support nail strength.

Show someone they are worth the best. The Glo Skin Beauty Cream Glaze Crayon is the perfect introduction to quality makeup. This convenient pencil, gloss and lipstick combination glides on effortlessly and provides smooth, rich colour with a high gloss finish. Enriched with antioxidant Vitamins C and E, as well as conditioning mango oil and shea butter for nourishing protection this is a great example of a luxury product at little more than a drugstore price.

For those that love the outdoors

All that adventuring and play outdoors can do a number on your skin, leaving it dry and damaged. Whether the salty surf or wind burn from the latest high alpine line, our skin pays the price for adventure. The Marula Skincare Oil Rollerball is a naturally soothing treatment that provides intense hydration, protection, and rejuvenation to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for soft, radiant skin.

For a pampering night in

A restful night can help recharge your skin just as much as it restores your body. While you sleep the Maskeraide Beauty Restore Facial Sheet Mask uses Argan oil, super fruit extracts, green algae and Vitamin E to restore, regenerate and repair your skin leaving it silky, smooth and supple by morning. The cooling effect of the mask helps to relax facial muscles easing the signs of stress and fatigue, while natural lavender oil relaxes your body and mind.

For the midday break

If you have a tea lover on your list Pukka Mint Refresh is the perfect antidote to the midday grind. Its soothing peppermint and calming sweet fennel will help centre and balance. A warm cup will help prepare you for the rest of the day.

Shadow Shields have been sneaking on to must-have lists from celebrity makeup artists. The small disposable half-moons will protect you from eyeshadow fallout. Slip this into a stocking and save your friend time and frustration with this secret weapon.

For the spin class regular

Every cyclist - whether road, mountain or indoor - knows that it is all about the socks. You may have a decked out kit but unless you have a stepped up your sock game there is no point debuting a new look. Cycling socks are a playful way to show off your style while staying true to your club kit. Sugoi Unisex RSR Quarter Sock
