It may seem challenging to purchase gifts for fellow beauty and makeup enthusiasts. I mean, what don’t they have?
We’ve curated the perfect beauty wish list, sure to inspire the most obsessed beauty lover, with a gift guide that will make Christmas this year, that much more special.
FOR THE FRIEND WHO LOVES SHOWER PRODUCTS
1. Finishing Touch Flawless – Cleanse Spa ($49.99)
Including a cleanse spa brush as well as three multi-purpose cleansing heads, this set by Finishing Touch Flawless is rejuvenating and refreshing for the whole body. Helping to remove all dirt and grime, using the spa brush will leave the skin more flawless and radiant.
It provides an at-home spa experience in the shower with its three interchangeable heads that each have their own purpose, either cleansing, massaging, or exfoliating the skin.
With an extra-long handle, it can get into the hard-to-reach places on the body and can be used from head to toe.
As the brush is water resistant and battery operated, it can stay in the shower, ready for use always. Take note not to submerge the cleanse spa in bodies of water as it is water resistant (designed for in-shower use), not waterproof.
Finishing Touch Flawless have also recently launched their Legs product for RRP $149.99 which is a revolutionary shaver with floating heads that rotate making it easier than ever to remove hair around areas like the knees and ankles.
