Holiday Gift Guide – Beauty Picks For Her

For your female (and sometimes male…) friend, family member, etc., beauty sets can be a great holiday gift when you want to give a present that’s a little more personal, but you’re not quite sure about their specific personal tastes or may not know what they already have. The 9 beauty gifts below are high quality brands beautifully packaged for the holiday season. Love these particular beauty sets, because all of the shades are neutral and/or versatile. The perfect ‘one size fits all’ gift, and all under $100! note: The Christian Louboutin nail color, #5, is not part of a set but really, the packaging makes it one!

1. butter LONDON Heavy Metal nail laquer collection // 2. M.A.C. cremesheen glass and dazzleglass lipgloss set // 3. Chanel lipgloss duo and nude lipliner // 4. Molton Brown hand treatment trio // 5. Christian Louboutin nail color // 6. Benefit Cosmetics beauty best sellers // 7. Laura Mercier body & bath luxe quartet // 8. M.A.C. nude lip bag // 9. Bobbi Brown luxe lipstick trio

From my own past experience, many beauty sets (especially the one from Chanel, #3) sell out well before the actual holiday, so if you’re considering one get it soon.

Also love the 2 beauty related products below, but would probably categorize them as gifts for yourself unless you know the recipient well. The iluminage wrinkle fighting pillow case (fight wrinkles as you sleep…what could be better than that?!) and the bliss ‘fabulips’ (good-bye dry winter lips!) set may raise some ‘what are you trying to say?’ eyebrows. But that’s just my opinion… Regardless, these are definitely going on my wish list!
