TEENAGERS Teenagers can be very tricky to buy for. One thing that we are certain of is that teenage girls like to keep up with the ever changing trends and what’s easier than following a trend by painting your nails?
Nail Mania
This autumn/winter season we will see the return of deep dark tones but also with a splash of vibrancy. Miners Cosmetics have launched their brand new autumn/winter nail collection and it’s not only affordable, the quality is also pretty good. The polish isn’t gloopy and it only needs a couple of coats. My personal favourite is London’s Calling, a very trendy mushroom colour.

FORTIES PLUS
As we get older our hair becomes more brittle and can be harder to maintain or style, so there’s no harm in having a little extra help from the beauty experts along the way. And the combination of cold weather and central heating make winter a dark time for hair, so why not help someone pamper their locks at Christmas.

the ages
THIRTIES Although we don’t like to admit it, once we hit our thirties we do need to start thinking about an anti-ageing beauty regime. The elasticity in our skin weakens as we get older and our skin lacks natural collagen which can cause the skin to wrinkle and sag. So treat your special thirty something to a little skin TLC.

The unique 2-in-1 preserver and protector provides duel protection from both harmful UVA/UVB rays and also gives the highest environmental protection. Radical Defense, £72 by Priori from
