7. Bristle Brush

Price: $95 at sephora.com
Hairdressers finally confirmed the best type of brush…a bristle brush! This classic styled wooden brush protects the hair, and stimulates the scalp to promote growth. I love the stylings on this one, which mean it’s pretty enough for any dressing table!

8. Skin Protection

Price: $40 at boots.com
This started to gain popularity in 2009, but in 2010, no one has an excuse to not be using it! You need just a tiny amount to soothe dry skin, and it’ll make you feel pampered…it’s a luxurious formula! You can get a gift set containing all of them, or by the original cream, a body treatment version and a hand version separately. It’s great for presents!

9. Jessica Nails

Price: $15 at jessica-nails.co.uk
Everyone loves to paint their nails, but chipped nail polish just won’t cut it anymore. Want an easy solution? This great ‘Brilliance’ formula will not only protect nails from chipping and make them stronger, but it also revitalizes the colour underneath it, which is perfect for mid-week if you haven’t got time to reapply! I can’t remember how I ever managed without it…

10. Dramatic Nails

Price: $5 at sephora.com
Keeping the above in mind, 2010 calls for dramatic nails…whether you go for deep, vivid colours, pastels or neons, it looks amazing! If you are brave enough, try painting a deep red on one finger, and a neon on the next. The pattern will look amazing, and the contrast is stunning!

I’ve invested in all these great items, which are sure to make me feel pampered and pretty for the rest of 2010. I love using them! Have you found a classic beauty buy for 2010, or do you think you can predict what will be huge next year? Please let me know!
