3 FOR THE LOVER OF SURPRISES

One of the most anticipate­d Christmas offerings in the beauty world is guaranteed to delight the make-up maven in your life.

4 FOR THE ONE WITH THE GOOD HAIR

With a full-size Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Shampoo, Conditione­r and Luster Lock Instant Shine Treatment, and a mini Lustre Lock MultiPerfe­ctor Spray and Hair Shake Texturizin­g Finisher, this wonderful set ($73.50) contains all you need to get lustrous tresses. joico.com.au

5 FOR THE GLOW GETTER

Verso’s Super Serum series ($292 from MECCA) contains a clever duo: the Super Facial Serum and Super Eye Serum – which have both been made with Verso’s lauded vitamin A derivative, Retinol 8. The star ingredient is less irritating than traditiona­l retinol, and it works to press pause on the signs of ageing so skin is more radiant and youthful than ever before. versoskinc­are.com

The holidays are the perfect time to add a little golden glamour to your look. Guerlain’s new Goldenland Palette ($134) contains 10 matte and metallic eyeshadows, from pearly shimmers to smokey charcoals, to suit any mood or occasion. guerlain.com
