The Last-Minute Holiday Beauty-Lover's Gift Guide
Madison Westover

The holiday season is my favorite time of year and it is also the best time for beauty. Lots of brands come out with holiday collections, limited edition products and special packaging. When you walk into any beauty store during this time of year, you are immediately overwhelmed with hundreds of gift sets and they are all wrapped in the cutest packaging and basically, you just want to buy them all. Unfortunately, since I can't buy them all, here are a few from my list!


Sephora Favorites Perfume Sampler ($65 - Sephora)

I love this gift idea, it is super unique and the gift that keeps on giving. This perfume sampler includes 14 of Sephora's top selling perfumes, as well as a 'scent certificate' to redeem for the full-size perfume of your choice. Perfume is pricey, and it is hard to choose a perfume for someone else. This gift gives variety, and the opportunity for someone to find their perfect scent!


Josie Maran - Glowing Argan Oil Skincare Essentials ($36 - Sephora)

Argan oil does amazing things for the skin. Within just four weeks research results show 100 percent pure argan oil is clinically proven to visibly reduce coarse wrinkles and fine lines and significantly improve skin smoothness and hydration. This gift set includes the Nirvana Hydrating Treatment Mist, a 0.5 oz bottle of 100 percent Pure Argan, the Surreal Skin Argan Finishing Balm, and the Argan Enlightenment Illuminizer.


Tarte - Tartiest PRO Glow Highlight & Contour Palette ($45 - Sephora)

This gorgeous palette includes 4 highlighters, a cream contour, and a powder contour. This palette has everything you need to create a gorgeous holiday look, especially with shades such as lit, strobe, fire and stunner.


MAC Holiday 2016 Collection - Nutcracker Sweet Pink Retro Matte Kit ($35 - MAC)

Mac's Holiday 2016 Collection is fantastic, I love the prints and the colors. Included in this set are a Matte Liquid Lipcolour, a Lipstick, and an Upward Lash mascara. I love the bubbly pink lip color and the printed makeup bag!


Fresh - Sugar Dreams Mini Lip Trio ($29 - Sephora)

Fresh makes incredible products, and their tinted lip treatments are amazing. They are pigmented so they give your lips color while also hydrating. The formula really sinks into your lips making them hydrated, nourished, and beautiful.


Living Proof - Spread Cheer & Perfect Hair Kit ($25 - Sephora)

For the hair care lover on your list - this gift set is perfect for all hair types. I love the Perfect Hair Day dry shampoo and this set has received rave reviews online!


10 Days of Clinique ($39.50 - Sephora)

With Clinique you cannot go wrong, they are a classic brand with lots of amazing products to offer. This gift set showcases and allows you to test out all of their top-rated products.


Tarte - Tartelist Pro Amazonian Clay Palette ($53 - Sephora)

Tarte has the best eyeshadows and this new palette features sixteen long-wearing matte shades, AND four new iridescent luster shades with a micro-shimmer. The number of looks you could create with this palette will take you way into 2017!


Deborah Lippmann - Ice Queen Nail Polish Set ($12 - Sephora)

Nail polish is the perfect stocking stuffer, and these two gorgeous colors are perfect for the holidays!


MAC Mariah Carey Collection - 'Bit of Bubbly' Lipstick ($20 - MAC)

The new Mariah Carey Collection from MAC is probably my favorite collection from the whole holiday 2016 season. Every product is gorgeous, and the packaging is fabulous!! Everything you would expect from Mariah Carey. I picked the Lipstick in the color 'Bit Of Bubbly' as my favorite. The collection will be released online December 15th and in stores on December 8th.


First Aid Beauty - FAB Delights ($18 - Sephora)

Winter is the worst - the cold, the snow, and the worst of all dry lips and skin. The only events to be excited about are Christmas and New Years, and they are over before you know it. After that, you're left with the cold, snow and ice, for about 4 more months. Luckily, with these two products, you can protect your skin and lips from that cold winter weather. Included is the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream and the Ultra Repair Lip Therapy.


Sephora Collection - Holy Sheet! Set ($49 - Sephora)

Recently, I have become a sheet mask junkie! They are easier and faster to apply and remove over traditional masks. Included in this set is a variety of 19 different masks, ranging from eye and foot masks and everything in between. Also included are sleeping masks and those are my absolute favorite.


GLAMGLOW - Gift Sexy SUPERMUD set ($69 - Sephora)

This gift set includes three of GLAMGLOW's best selling face masks. They leave your skin feeling brightened, refreshed, and baby smooth. Each of their masks is designed to treat a specific face problem.


Too Faced - Let It Glow Highlight & Blush Kit ($25 - Sephora)

You can never have too many highlights or blushes! This gift set includes two highlight colors, a blush, and a cute brush. Perfect colors for the holiday season and even into spring!


What are you asking for this holiday season?

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday filled with love, laughter, and of course lots of beauty! xoxo

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
