Christmas Gift Guide

Twinkle Magazine have been compiling our Christmas list for Santa; and we thought we'd share it with you. This is our Christmas guide to what to buy your female friends this festive season...



Our favourite women are back. Join Carrie and the girls with the DVD release on 29th November of Sex and The City 2. Pre-order your copy now!
Celebrate the fact that we can eat as much chocolate as we want at Christmas by bathing in the stuff too. Philosophy's Peppermint Bark set contains a mint chocolate lipbalm, and a divine mint chocolate bubble bath, shampoo & shower gel in one.
Shoe lovers everywhere will love this attractive wooden sign that reads 'Please remove your Choos'. Hang it in the hall to show all visitors you are a true fashionista. If you get a pair of Jimmy Choos for Christmas however, you won't be wanting to take them off!
Jewels By Laura is a fabulous vintage and retro jewellery designer that creates one-off pieces for girl's to treasure. We love this Paris themed piece from www.jewelsbylaura.co.uk
Burlesque artist Immodesty Blaize is a woman with lots of style. Her new novel Ambition is a fantastic read. Full of glitz, glamour and sex; it's perfect to keep you warm on a Winter night.
We at Twinkle are in love with Frontcover Cosmetic's Moonlit Metals set. It allows you to create the most striking eyes with it's high quality eye-shadow and glitter dusts, and it's easy to follow guide.

Pillar-box Pouts

Strong red lips are everywhere this A/W. Twinkle Magazine have been testing out some gorgeous shades. Here are our favourites...


Festival4Stars: The Singing Finals

Festival4Stars is a national singing and dancing talent competition; with ambassadors such as Duncan James, and celebrity supporters like Coronation Street's Kym Marsh, Eastenders's Steve McFadden and Boyzone's Shane Lynch.


This year, the singing finals are being held in Glasgow at the Radisson SAS hotel on Sunday 21st November, and guests will enjoy a special performance from Darius and the chance to meet some of the Hollyoak's cast. There are tickets available to members of the public for the finals and for the glamorous dinner afterwards. Visit www.festival4stars.com to get tickets!

Our editor Laura Pearson will be attending the event, and will bring you an exclusive report!


Nude Nails

Dior A/W 2010. Copyright: First View
This season the colours for nails are beige and camel shades. With the launch of Nails Inc's gorgeous new limited edition shade Cadogan Square, Twinkle have decided to pick out our other favourite polishs that embrace this colour trend seen on catwalks from Julien Macdonald to Dior.




Transform Your Hair For Winter With Saks

Our editor Laura Pearson was invited to visit the new Saks Glasgow salon on Renfield Street; and got a fabulous cut and colour by salon manager Roy Rogers. Roy designed the perfect cut and colour for Laura to suit her face, and to be bang on trend this Winter.
Saks salons nationwide have a sleek clean look; with top stylists that are ready to help you get the style you want. Relax with a head massage, then let the staff transform your look.


Saks creative director Alison Dace says that Saks salons are adopting this season's trends by "exploring the use of depth and geometry in haircutting to create beautiful shapes, depth and thickness". Earthy brown is the colour of the season also. 


Pop down to your local Saks salon, and let them work their magic.

Filthy Gorgeous Launches In Debenhams

Our Editor Laura Pearson was invited to visit the new Filthy Gorgeous beauty emporium in Debenhams Glasgow, and meet two of the founders Clair Rose and Adam Dargan. Here she gives you a peek into the hottest new beauty brand in the UK...
As soon as I saw the Filthy Gorgeous area in Debenhams, I knew I was going to love it. It's a beautiful beauty haven decorated with bespoke vintage fabrics, glass mirrors, cupcakes and birdcages; and is available exclusively in Debenhams Glasgow and London. 
Filthy Gorgeous has been created to provide a one-chair-stop for women getting ready for a night out. Choose their Rock Star (£75) or Rock Chick package (£50) and get your nails, hair, and eyebrows transformed all in the one place. These packages also include a semi-permanent tattoo that lasts for around 10 days. Choose from pretty images like roses and hearts that everybody will admire. 
As well as these signature packages, Filthy Gorgeous also provide individual services such as brow shaping for £14 (I left with perfect eyebrows!) and tinting (£10); so there is no excuse not to pop in and soak up the fabulously stylish atmosphere. You can also pick up Katy Perry's latest album, or the most amazing bird and knitted cake hair clips from them whilst you are there.
Go on, treat yourself...
