Kaieteur News – Besides birthdays, Christmas is one of the quintessential periods of the year where we get to demonstrate in tangible ways what our loved ones mean to us. And quite frankly, who doesn’t like to be spoiled, appreciated and simply thought of during the holidays.
It is for this reason, Kaieteur News has compiled a list of gift ideas that are the embodiment of fashion, luxury, beauty and just overall, the promotion of confidence and self love.
There is a gift in this list for every type of man or woman.
Choose wisely and have a blast for the season and 2022!

1) LIFT AND LASHES BY TOYA

It is said that the eyes are the most expressive part of a person’s anatomy. But there is no greater opening or curtain to the window of the soul than a woman’s lashes. It is with understanding that ‘Lift and Lashes By Toya’ has been highly sought after for the whimsical and long-lasting looks it offers citizens.The business which has been part of the local beauty industry for five years is owned by Dorsil Zephyr, a fiercely gorgeous 30-year-old entrepreneur who is popularly known as Toya. She has been a longstanding member of the beauty industry for over 10 years but it was five years ago that she decided to venture out of the provision of common beauty services such as body massage, facials, pedicures, manicures, and waxing, and revolutionised the industry by offering high quality Lash Extension services that are second to none.

Kaieteur News understands that Dorsil has been serving as a successful Lash Stylist for five years, being two times certified by Chantel Juman CEO and owner of the internationally recognised Babe Cave Lash Academy in Trinidad.
The businesswoman said she highly recommends women getting Lash Extensions for this season or a Lash Lift service. She noted that Christmas is a season filled with many activities and functions to attend. With so much to do in so little time, either of these services will guarantee you look your best throughout the season without the daily effort.
For more information, LIFT AND LASHES BY TOYA is located at the Palace de Leon Building, on Croal Street between Cummings and Orange Walk, Georgetown. You can made contact via the following media: 670-803; Facebook: Lift and lashes by toya; and Instagram: @liftandlashesbytoya.

 

2) CaMeg’s Fashion House

Fashion, has, and will continue to be, one of the most revolutionary platforms for defining who we are. It can be playful, timeless, luxurious, and an eloquent extension of
what we stand for. But of all the boutiques in Guyana that seek to help us define our sense of self and style, CaMeg’s helps any lass or woman do this in the classiest way
possible. It is for this very reason, it has been selected to be featured in Kaieteur News’ timeless gifts collection. The business which has been in existence for eight years is a Sister-Sister collaboration between Carol Blair and Megan Bettencourt.

Twenty years ago, they started out in the beauty industry with a full service Salon (Monifa’s Beauty Salon and Spa). Their combined love and passion for beauty and the satisfaction, which they get to see in women’s faces when they leave the Salon helped to inspire the birth of CaMeg’s fashion House, which is a fusion of their names.

They hold the view that when a woman looks good, she feels good and there is nothing she can’t do in that state of mind that exudes absolute confidence.

For the season, they have recommended two must-have items, which are featured in the photos attached. For more information, you can find CaMeg’s Fashion House at Lot 77 Hadfield, Street, Werk-en-Rust, Georgetown or contact them on: 227-2763 or 674-7619.
