No ignoring it. The Christmas countdown has started. (They'll be airing the John Lewis ad. before we know it...)

So: from today, we'll be interspersing our general skincare, make-up, bodycare and haircare 'loves' with the very best of the gifts we've found.

Here's something, for instance, which any would-be glamourpuss (of pretty much any age, actually) will adore: a selection of Soap & Glory's fab, lip-plumping mini-glosses (in four really wearable shades), tucked inside a 'clutch' – which we think would make a great make-up bag, actually, or somewhere to stash your make-up brushes.

Glossy, gorgeous – and a really good deal, we think.
