What did you ask Santa for this year? Hopefully things off of your want list, rather than your need list. But probably the more practical things off of your want list right? Hair care products, your favourite skin care. Maybe a pair of slippers, or vouchers from your favourite homewares store?
Well being the ever dreaming crew we are, we've decided to find some gift ideas that probably won't even feature on your want or need list, but rather your 'I don't need it, but now I want it' dream list. And there was only one place this pom knew would deliver. Harrods.
So grab a mug of mulled wine and lose yourself in The Beauty Review Christmas Beauty Envy List.
