    As a Beauty Editor, I really hope you trust my judgement when I tell you which is the best mascara for voluminous lashes, what order your skincare should be in and why I think retinol is the greatest thing to happen to skin (maybe ever). I spend my days testing products and learning about the latest science in beauty. I make it my job to know as much as I can, so that I'm able to properly inform you, my dear readers.

    Beauty buyers are very similar, they do the same, but for their customers. So they know a thing or two about what makes a good beauty product, which is why I was very keen to find out what they were hoping to find wrapped up under their Christmas tree this year...
