What do you get the girl who has everything? Beauty tools, that's what! If you want to spend a wee bit more than $20 on a gift, a luxe brush set is something many women would never buy for themselves, and the same goes for the more expensive styling tools like a ghd Styler or the Cloud Nine The Wand. And then there's the icons like the Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler (in 24K gold!) and the self tanning must-haves to consider. Step on in...

From the London world premiere of Les Misérables to New York's fashion-forward screening of HBO's In Vogue: The Editor's Eye, there's been more than a few notable celebrity beauty looks to surface this week. Anne Hathaway is rocking her pixie cut with more edge, Amanda Seyfried looked like a screen siren beside her, and Kerry Washington stepped out with a fringe for The Hollywood Reporter's Power 100: Women In Entertainment Breakfast yesterday. But there's two more looks we're loving, so click through to zoom in and snoop the celebeauties.

After announcing their partnership with Cloud Nine and Valonz's Renya Xydis last month, sass & bide's hair look for their show at London fashion week was structured and seductive. Renya created a textured, playful and relaxed ponytail to complement Heidi and Sarah-Jane's most recent collection; with in-demand model Cara Delevingne leading the model pack. The makeup was very minimal soft, counteracting the strong lines in the collection. To get this very wearable, masculine-meets-feminine hair look at home, click through.

"She's Brazilian, she's chic, she's beautiful," Linda Jefferyes said when we asked her to talk inspiration backstage at Oroton. "It's bronzed, but not overdone, just sun-kissed." Working with Mecca Cosmetics, Jefferyes used NARS Laguna and Irrésistiblement bronzers to contour and the lighter shade of NARS Hungry Heart Blush on the cheekbones, centre of the nose and chin to highlight. All products were also used throughout the eye to give the look unity. Inspired by the main print in Oroton's collection, Renya Xydis (Cloud Nine) created a "wearable take on cornrows." Using the Cloud Nine Iron to add shine, models hair was then sectioned and twisted back into a low ponytail. The Cloud Nine Wand was then used to add movement and texture to the ponytail. Miss Frou Frou were in charge of nails painting on Cream as a base colour and then painting half of the nail with either Zest, Tequila Sunset or a navy colour.

The brief from Kirrily Johnstone was gypsy chic, think "Romanian farm girl," Renya Xydis (Cloud Nine) said of the two different hairstyles she created. One up, one down, they both featured textured, twisted strands and were finished with headscarves and gold clips. Nicole Thompson (MAC) brought the gypsy look to life through creamy, highlighted skin. "It's all about the highlighting," she said. Take a closer look at how it all came to life.
