Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The count down to Christmas has well and truly begun and whether you’re looking to get a head start or just stock up on treats for yourself the beauty world has seriously upped its game this festive season.

Finding the perfect gift can be testing at the best of times and knowing what to buy someone that simply has it all is a minefield. Luckily, there are plenty of festal themed delights that offer the perfect solution.

You can pretty much guarantee that, that person who owns every lip shade known to man, has a mountain of fragrance bottles stacked upon their shelf or an endless supply of make-up brushes won’t have any of these.

Limited edition products make the ultimate go-to gift for any beauty lover but what exactly is on offer this time round?

For the ultimate in pretty palettes and glorious gift sets, Mac Cosmetics has launched its Nutcracker holiday collection. A tempting mix of individual eye pencils, lipsticks and shadows, teamed with a range of cosmetic kits; there’s something for everyone here.

Equally, Dior’s Holiday Couture collection is the stuff that dreams are made of. A new range of matte fluid lipsticks, shimmering nail polishes and smoky eye palette’s come wrapped in the most radiant gold casing. Not the cheapest option but Christmas is as good a time as any to splash some cash on indulgent maquillage.

Fragrance wise, YSL has released a Christmas Collector Edition of its dreamy Black Opium. The simmering black coffee and floral scent stays the same, thankfully, but this time the bottle comes enveloped in a dazzling shower of silver and gold glitter.

Both Viktor & Rolf and Estee Lauder also have some great sets up for grabs; the first offering its Flowerbomb fragrance, shower gel and body lotion in a luxury Christmas tree shaped box.

Estee Lauder has a host of exclusive Christmas kits available but, in a bid to evoke that summer feeling all year round, its trio of Bronze Goddess goodies get the seasonal seal of approval.
