I’m a beauty girl at heart. Did you know that before I got into style blogging, I was obsessed with YouTube makeup tutorials? I’ve been a beauty junkie since my college days and though I may not talk about it here on a daily basis, I spend a lot of time testing and trying new products. Skincare is my weakness!
This time of year is always exciting for beauty lovers because of the limited-edition products, holiday collections and new launches that hit stores. It’s so tempting… I’ve recently tried a few new things myself that I think would make great gifts for the beauty lover in your life. But since it would be impossible for me to test everything, I also rounded up a few more gift sets and tools that I’m adding to my wishlist!
First Aid Beauty Holiday Gift Set | Kiehl’s Skin Renewing Cream
I’ve loved First Aid Beauty for years and this season they have a few amazing (and affordable!) gift sets that offer a well-rounded arsenal of products if you know someone looking for a new skincare regimen. Now let me tell you about Kiehl’s— I recently started using a few of their products and I’m loving the Pure Vitality Skin Renewing Cream. Make sure you check out the holiday collection too!
IT Cosmetics Brush Set | Sleep Mask | Essie Holiday Collection | Arcona Face Oil | Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette
It’s hard to go wrong with giving a gift set– especially if nail polish is involved! I also love when brands create brush sets since individual brushes can be so expensive. Other recent favorites that would make great stocking stuffers are this face oil, sleep mask and duh, the Smoky Palette.
Another great stocking stuffer idea? Mini votive candles! I love having these around my bathroom and on my vanity.
Beauty Buys That Make Great Holiday Gifts
Clinique Lip Color Set | Philosophy Holiday Body Care Set | Travel Hair Dryer | Beachwaver Curling Iron | Holiday Nail Polish Set | Laura Geller Face Gift Set | bareMinerals Mascara Duo | Limited-Edition MAC Eye Palette | Moroccan Oil Hair Gift Set | Sigma ‘Basic Eyes’ Brush Set | Estée Lauder ‘Modern Muse’ Fragrance Set | Clarisonic Mia Fit
The holidays are a great time to splurge on a tool like a curling iron, Clarisonic or hair dryer. I’m also really impressed with the gift sets this year– I mean, this one has every face product you could need! The struggle is real when it comes to MAC. I have to restrain myself from buying every limited-edition collection, but this Nutcracker-themed eye palette is calling my name. Happy Shopping!
Know any beauty junkies? What’s on your beauty wishlist this year?
