GHD is a hugely popular brand in the world of hair styling and their hair styler's are often much sought after by women (and men!) alike, and with Christmas fast approaching there's a good chance many people will have GHD's on their lists. GHD seem to bring out a limited edition set quite often, and especially so at Christmas. Two years ago I was lucky to receive the Purple Limited Edition set which was gorgeous and my trusty GHD styler was still toiling perfectly, however when I had the chance to receive a new set through the Amazon Vine programme, well, I could roughly say no could I?

This GHD Christmas 2010 limited edition set has a black and gold theme to it, oozing glamour and elegance. It comes packaged in a beautiful treasure chest type case, the front featuring a gold jewelled piece with GHD written in gold. The case itself is solid and is crazye from a good quality material. Opening the chest reveals another case, with the same theme, except this one is a soft case with 2 gold zips, and one of the zips is a little gold shoe. The case is spacious, and the GHD styler itself fits snugly inside along with two hair clips. When you unzip the case and open it fully, the top side of it unrolls and is a heat resistant mat to rest the styler once whilst you are styling your hair.

Tucked away down the side of the chest is the travel mirror. I didn't expect this to mount up to much however I was pleasantly wonderd by how nice this little mirror is! It has a gold passion, and quite heavy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], metal design around it and has a stand just like a picture frame. It is wonderfully made however a downside is it isn't a travel mirror you could keep in your handbag as it is too heavy and oddly shaped for that, but it would go fine in a suitcase. Looking further into the large case, you will see there is a panel which lifts up. Underneath this panel is the travel hair-dryer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], all in black with a small gold patterned design on the front it's nothing special but again the quality of it is brilliant and it's not just a flimsy thing thrown in as an after view.

Enough with the stylish packaging though, and onto the main thing itself, the GHD styler. This styler is obviously the newest model and I can instantly notice the difference from my older GHD styler. For a start it's now extremely lightweight, although at first I was a bit worried about this. The new lightweight feel potency make things easier, but I was used to something a bit heavy and the lightness of it now conveys a more cheaper image, and didn't come across as brilliant quality to me straight off. Despite being section of a limited edition set it doesn't look too much deviateent from the normal styler anystep. It is black and gold but I would have expected a more fanciful design for a limited edition,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and whilst it goes with the more sophisticated theme the whole set portrays,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I do feel it looks quite boring. Maybe I was simply spoilt by my pretty purple patterned GHD styler I had been using for the past 2 years.

The styler bleeps when you switch it on, and will also bleep again when it's reached the correct temperature, and it really takes no time at all for this styler to heat up. It also has a safety shut off feature so if it's left on for 30 minutes it will shut itself off, however as it's still technically switched on, not just on the styler but also at the mains,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], I wouldn't rely on this too heavily, but it's a brilliant feature for anyone who ever forgets to switch off their hair straighteners. I never used to be a GHD fan finding them too overpriced, that was until I actually used a friend's styler a few years ago, and for the moment I am a dedicated GHD fan. I was still extremely pleased at how easy it is to straighten and style my hair using this, it takes no time at all and my hair stays straight all day. It also doesn't snag my hair whilst styling and glides through hair easily. It's still taking me a while to habituated to the fact it is now much more light weight than the old models. It may seem straight but after 2 years I am finding it hard to obtain used to this and sometimes feel like the styler isn't contacting my hair, when it actionually is!

This set will make a beautiful gift for someone at Christmas, and I should point out there are two versions to choose from, one containing the hair dryer and the other comes without. The set without the hair dryer doesn't come with the gorgeous chest but the rest of the contents are essentially the same. This set including the hair dryer costs ?134.95 on Amazon at the moment, the set without the hair dryer costing ?129 so price wise there isn't a huge difference between the two sets. If you love GHD's then I highly recommend this beautiful limited edition gift set.
