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

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
