It's the most wonderful (and expensive) time of the year! The time where everyone walks aimlessly around department stores and tries to find the perfect gift for that special person in their life. Christmas shopping can be a little overwhelming, especially in the cosmetic department. If you don't know what you're doing, all of the employees seem to look like this:
Luckily, I am here to give you a simple list of beauty gifts that can fit your budget and help your sanity.
1. Under The Kissletoe: The Ultimate Liquified Lipstick Set- Too Face
Too Faced Melted Lipsticks are a cult favorite and this kit holds a little bit of all the lipstick magic. This kit comes with a regular, chocolate, latex and matte lipstick! These colors are really fun twists on everyday staples.
2. Hit It Off Duo- Drunk Elephant
For the skin care obsessive.
Drunk Elephant is one of the most talked about skin care lines on the market, but their prices can be a bit out of reach. Their new Hit It Off skincare duo has travel sizes of their best selling jelly cleanser and moisturizer. The best skincare under the tree, that won't break the bank.
3. Over The Top Set- ColourPop
For the girl who likes pastel pink and sugar cookies.
Everyone goes gaga for Colourpop! They're a small and fresh brand that offers amazing products at affordable prices. This Over The Top Set comes with a 15 color eyeshadow palette, rose quarts priming spray and a brush!
$38 at Colourpop
4. Filtered Face Set- Real Techniques
For the girl who does everything with perfection.
Real Techniques is one of my personal favorite brush lines. I have never purchased a brush from Real Techniques and been disappointed. This set actually comes with more brushes then pictured above. It comes with 12 brushes! What else could you need?
5. Goddess Glow Highlighter- Tarte
For the girl who lights up your world.
A girl's gotta glow! Tarte's limited edition highlighter will make you the star at Christmas.
6. Trophy Wife Highlighter- Fenty Beauty
For the girl who is the talk of every party.
While we're on the subject of GLOWING, Fenty Beauty's Trophy Wife highlighter IS one of the most beautiful highlighters on the market. Fenty Beauty is also one of the trendiest makeup brands around right now. You can't go wrong with this one.
7. Mask Diaries- First Aid Beauty
For the girl who needs a little me-time.
First Aid Beauty is one of my favorite skincare lines. I have recommended their products to tons of different skin types and everyone has given me tremendous feedback on positive results. First Aid Beauty's mask kits are a perfect little skin care treat for everyone! Each mask has a different beauty benefit to fit every skin type.
8. Les Mini Chloé Fleur de Parfum- CHLOÉ
For the Audrey Hepburn at heart girl.
If elegance and grace is more the style of the person you are buying for, then Chloé perfume will exactly meet their needs. Chloé is a luxurious and soft perfume, wrapped with perfection.
9. Phase 2 Set: Makeup - Glossier
For the girl who is always on the go.
I LOVE GLOSSIER. This brand is for cool girls who put on a little makeup then leave for the day. This makeup set comes with a lip color, eyebrow gel and a concealer. A quick, simple and effective makeup routine that the girl on the go needs before taking over the world.
10. Eye For Elegance Liquid Eye Shadow Set- Stila
For the girl who leaves a little bit of sparkle wherever she goes.
Stila liquid eye shadows are a must-have and this kit has six of them! SIX OF THEM!
11. Sp(oil) Yourself- Bumble and Bumble
For the girl who is always on trend.
I've heard a lot about Bumble and Bumble recently. Even my own hairstylist talked about how much she liked the brand to me last time I got my hair done. This kit will provide healthy and strong hair ready for styling.
