Beauty and cosmetic products make such great Christmas gifts, but with so many to choose from it can feel overwhelming. Here’s our quick list of great cosmetic gifts and beauty products for Christmas.
I’m a self-confessed spa rat. Even before I met Christina, I loved massage and all kinds of skin care. My sister was an aromatherapist and my mom raised me using moisturizers, face masks, toners and oils.
My dad always hated creams or lotions on his face, by the way, and he would sit and moan while my mom and I sat next to him with clay covering our faces.
Christina has been working in the beauty industry for almost 15 years now with her site Hair romance. It means I’ve been exposed to a whole other level of cosmetics and beauty brands.
So here are our favorite hair and beauty and tech products that we think would make great gifts for the spa rat in your life!
This is part of our annual Hint magazine—a guide to Christmas that includes ideas for gifts you can buy, stories about how to make your Christmas even better, and things like movie recommendations and recipes.

The perfect gift for anyone who wants an entire salon in the palm of their hand, the Shark FlexStyle System does everything. It’s already transforming!

There are also two 3.2cm auto-winding rollers that use amazing helix-like coanda technology that pulls hair around the barrels to curl without damaging direct heat.
But then you hit the styler lock switch and the system is fully operational with Optimus Prime. The tip rotates 90° so it can be used as a traditional hair dryer, with a styling condenser and curl-enhancing diffuser attachments.
The FlexStyle has four heat settings, including a cool shot button to adjust your style and three airflow settings for full power control in your hand.
And when your hair looks perfect, the Shark FlexStyle Air Styling and Drying System returns to its stylish and convenient storage case.
