Metro Gift Guide 2024: Beauty & Wellness Gifts

Article (news)

<p>We’re down to our last few weeks of 2024, and that only means everyone is extra busy with Christmas right around the corner! Gift-giving is my love language, and my philosophy is always giving something practical and useful over cute things that only end up as clutter. For this year’s gift guide, I list my recommended beauty and wellness products that can delight the special women in your life—from your family, to your work besties, to your college <em>barkada</em>! </p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>1. TYMO Personal hair-drying and volumizing hot brush</strong></div><p><strong></strong>Gone are the days when I would watch my hairdresser blow dry my hair and wish that I could do it myself as well as he does. The latest Airexcel High-Speed Hair Dryer Brush (Php 8,000) makes it so easy to dry and style my hair, it looks like a pro does it. With three speed settings and four heat settings, this hair dryer brush will have you feeling cute and ready for your day in no time. It also comes with three different attachments: the oval brush, paddle brush, and styling concentrator, for different kinds of drying and styling!
