Top Tips for Your Christmas List

Christmas can be a lonely and expensive time when you're on the road so Beauty Terrorist is on the budget defending attack path - way ahead of the festive season. In this edition you can find a selection of affordable treats to help curve the homesick Christmas vibes and a few luxuries that are worthy of any parental funded wish list.

Half Price Haircuts in London

Having your locks chopped by a top hair stylist need not be the preserve of the rich at least not in London. When you're in the British capital keep your eyes peeled for a chain of salons called Headmasters and when you find one, ask inside about the Recommend a Friend scheme. You'll get a bunch of half price vouchers and each of these will earn you a half price cut, whenever one is used by one of your mates. Shampoo, style and finish your festive head warming fuzz with the top stylist in the salon - for as little as €16.

Your Comfort Zone Christmas List

If you can't exchange affection with your loved ones at Christmas then why not exchange international gifts, or gift vouchers redeemable with the luxury brands that you only really treat yourself to once a year? Comfort Zone has a catalogue full of great gift ideas and recommendations to drop into those international calls home. Here is the pick of the litter.

Action Sublime Serum

Prevention is always better than cure which is exactly why Comfort Zone's Action Sublime Cream made it into this good book of recommendations. This serum helps to prevent laugh line wrinkles and a loss of elasticity in the skin by using a dehydrated form of hyaluronic acid - to fill in the lines when they start to form. You don't need much and you'll see a noticeable difference just six hours after you apply. Alas miracles don't come cheap but at £86 from comfortzone.it, it's a long term investment. A built in sun block comes as standard.

Skin Resonance Mask

This is my personal favourite. It's ten minutes of intense skin repairs, it gets rid of unwanted redness and alleviates over sensitivity. The regeneration comes from a combination of omega 3, fatty acids and rapeseed plant extracts, and it gets to work the second it comes into contact with your skin. When your ten minutes are up simply rinse the mask off with cool water before applying your regular toner and moisturiser. Find the right price for you on ciao.co.uk

Inner C Effervescent Bath Care Cubes

The bath bombs of yesteryear might have made it into the eighties equivalent of Beauty Terrorist - but in the noughties' it's no longer cool to be left with a soggy and slightly dissolved bomb casing on your skin - at the end of your soak. These Bath Care Cubes completely dissolve when you chuck them under the tap and the combination of talc, sea salt and silk powder makes for a thoroughly cleansing, and therapeutic dip. Your skin gets rehydrated and you only really need one hit a month. See graftons.co.uk or comfortzone.it for your nearest stockist.
