Gina Ritchie's Top 10 Beauty Christmas Gifts

 Liberty’s Beauty Buying Manager, Gina Ritchie, picks her top 10 Beauty Gifts for this Christmas.

Since we launched Maison Francis Kurkdjian’s new collection exclusively in October, I have been dousing myself in the incredible Aqua Universalis. Great for Men or Women and perfect for those resisting the Winter, it has notes of Sicilian Bergamot and Lemon, white bouquet and some warm woody notes. For true fans, you can also buy the washing detergent for your clothes, scented leather bracelet and for your home, candle and incense papers.

Aqua Universalis Eau de Toilette, £115 

Tweezerman designed some fabulous Liberty Purple Swarovski Tweezers for us. So glamorous and really brighten up tweezing your brows!

In preparation for the party season, I have religiously been taking Oskia’s Pure MSM Supplements, a nutritional supplement for a healthier, clearer, smoother, younger looking complexion and shiny, stronger, hair & nails. By night, I am using their Bedtime Beauty Boost and each morning I am waking up with bright, soft and radiant skin which will come in very useful when the parties begin!

Pure MSM Supplements, Oskia £29.50

Kiehl’s have produced an exclusive Creme de Corps for us with a Liberty Print label. Perfect, my all time favourite body cream and now with our very own label!

The wonderful people at Essie have created a divine deep, slightly metallic, purple shade for us. I have been wearing it all year because it is so gorgeous but now approaching Christmas is the perfect time to be wearing Liberty Belle.

The Bubbles created by Maison Francis Kurkdjian are without question the most perfect stocking filler. Coming in Mint, Fresh Herb or Pear, these bubbles are such a fun way to scent a room. Pop them with your nose for best effect!

Agathe’s Mint Bubbles, Maison Francis Kurkdjian £15

I would recommend any product from Euoko for yourself or a loved one this Christmas, but my favourite has to be the Eye Contour Nanolift, simply the most incredible eye cream. It uses Nanocapsules plus 7 other immediate and long term fighters of fine wrinkles, puffiness and tone irregularities in this seriously nourishing cocktail for the eye area.

Eye Contour Nanolift, Euoko £215

Everyone should have a Mason Pearson hairbrush. Simply the best, they will last you a lifetime if you look after them. Perfect to purchase for yourself or a loved one and if you don’t already have the classic shade why not try one in pink, white or blue for your handbag.

Struggling to find the perfect fragrance for the man in your life? Buy him Fantastic Man from Byredo. Apart from being hugely complemented by the name of course, he will be smelling irresistable thanks to notes of lavendar, incense, geranium and patchouli.

Fantastic Man Eau de Cologne, Byredo £115

Start stocking up on Shu Uemura false lashes for the party season and check out our exclusive Liberty Shu Uemura lashes, black shot through with a slight hint of lavendar, they are incredibly flattering for all eye colours. Don’t forget the perfect and most natural way to fuse false lashes to your own is with a quick press using the infamous Shu Uemura eyelash curlers…also now available in gold for the most glam of you this Christmas.
