With just three weeks until Christmas, it's time to seriously start buying your holiday gifts. You probably have your list of who you need to shop for, but now the problem is what to actually buy! Some gifts are tricky {especially if a size is involved}, but you really can't go wrong with beauty products.
I love the idea of not just giving someone a single beauty-ful gift, but more like a series of them. Putting together a beauty basket of useful products is easy, affordable and sure to make the recipient feel special.

black friday shopping tips, how to shop black friday
If you follow me on Twitter, then you saw my tweet about people in Ohio who lined up for Black Friday sales 10 days in advance.
Well, you clearly don't have to be that crazed to score some major sales this Black Friday. From clothes and accessories that start at just $5 {thanks H&M} to beauty essentials for 10 bucks, you'll have no problem finding goods for yourself or holiday gifts for the ones you love. And since "Black Friday" sales now start on Thursday {or even earlier!} for many retailers, you can start shopping now or at least devise your game plan. There are so many deals out there and it's hard to navigate where to go {either in store or online}, so I've compiled 10 top Black Friday sales.

I'm a sucker for an awesome mani and bold polish but I refuse to pay upwards of $50 for treatments like Minx or CND Shellac.Last year I tried Sephora's DIY version of Minx, Chic Prints, and I loved them but they only lasted a few days. So I was super excited when I came across the Sally Hansen Salon Effects. I heard of them but could never find them in stores until I finally snagged one of the last boxes at Duane Reade for $10.The strips come in more than 20 designs {sparkles, leopard, denim, etc.} and are adhesives that fit over your nails. So say goodbye to drying time. Unlike similar products that require you to peel the sticker off of your nails, the Salon Effects come off with nail polish remover because it's actual polish! The kit contains 18 strips, cuticle stick, emery board and instructions.

I tried "Booty Camp," a pink camouflage print.
