Beauty is always big at Christmas as party-goers complement their new outfits with hair, skin and nail products and the usual sparkly eye shadows.

Superdrug will introduce some new collections, including skincare range Love & Wilde and bath range Sweet Snuggles, and it has refreshed its make-up Christmas gift sets. Ethical beauty retailer The Body Shop has designed fun packaging for its gift sets and created sweet-smelling ranges such as strawberry, glazed apple, vanilla brûlée and frosted cranberry. Fragrance is likely to be a cracker.
