04 Dec Holiday Gift Guide: Affordable Beauty Buys
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.
Some women are more into facial products, makeup, perfume, etc, but below are a few suggestions that meet all beauty needs.
Sephora Collection Makeup Academy Blockbuster: With more than 100 colors (lip gloss, blush, concealer, eyeshadow, etc.), the makeup lover in your life will never get bored.
Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Capsules Daily Youth Restoring Serum: The serum feels like silk and promises to change the texture of skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. I’ve used this stuff for months and it’s the truth! And the container is cute, as well.
Tokyo Milk Bon Bon Shea Butter Lotion 10 Honey & the Moon: The cute packaging means you’ll love pulling this tube of hand lotion out of your purse. And with ingredients like shea butter, green tea and mimosa bark, your hands will stay moisturized.
Wet n’ Wild Fast Dry Nail Color: A coat dries in 60 seconds. ‘Nuff said. They come in a ton of colors and are just $2, so rack up on a few.
Kiss Nail Dress Fashion Nail Strips: If a more unique design is needed, these Kiss nail stickers are perfect. I’ve used these plenty of times when I’m in a pinch and don’t have the time to paint my nails and wait for them to dry. Tip: always be sure to finish them with a clear coat of polish so they last even longer.
Goody DoubleWear 2 in 1 Headwrap: Two for one is always great and a two in one product is even better. These Goody headbands also double as necklaces. They come in a variety of styles including beads and chains.
Cantu Shea Butter Leave In Conditioning Hair Repair Cream: For natural girls whose hair requires serious moisture and TLC in the colder months, you can’t beat this leave in. It also helps with breakage and split ends.
Hello Breathspray: Gifting someone breathspray can be a little tricky {you don’t want them to think they have stinky breath!}, but they’ll be wowed by the cute container. Just twist the top, spray and you’re good to go. Flavors include pink grapefruit, sweet cinnamint and mojito mint. Unlike some sprays, this contains no alcohol, artificial colors or sweeteners.
Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Cologne: I’m not much of a fragrance person, but you can’t go wrong with Jo Malone. If you want to give the recipient an array of fragrances, check out a site like the Perfumed Court where you can get a variety of samples. Once she decides on her favorite, you can buy her the full sized bottle.
Makeup Pouch: Makeup bags can get so beat up, so a cute, functional one always comes in handy.
So cop a few beauty products and a nice basket {you can find a ton at thrift stores!} and gift the special lady in your life a personalized gift.
