Holiday Beauty Gifts

This holiday season has beauty products that will wow your family and friends. Give the gift of beauty to the special ones in your life, or for yourself. Whether they desire a makeup gift set or a beauty sample membership, there’s a gift for everyone on your list. Check out my favorite gifts this holiday.

Beauty Sample Memberships

The newest and hottest trends are beauty sample memberships. The basic concept is to pay a membership fee (usually $10-15 dollars a month) to receive a box  of new beauty samples. Many of them also include advice and tips from experts and you can earn points with your purchases. My favorites include www.birchbox.com and www.beautybar.com.

Make-Up Gift Sets

Many beauty stores offer a palette of beautiful makeup for one great price. During the holidays you can get some of the best deals. Every year Sephora offers their limited edition palette. This year’s ‘Sephora Collection Color Daze Blockbuster’ includes eye shadows, cream eyeliners, lip gloss, blush, makeup brushes, luminizers and more for the low price of $49.50. In addition, Sephora offers ‘Fresh Sugar Perfection Duo’. The set includes the exfoliating Fresh Sugar Lip Polish and Fresh Sugar Passion Tinted Lip Treatment with SPF 15 for $22.50.

Hair Gift Sets

This list wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t include something for the girl with curls. Macy’s online offers the ‘Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk Starter Set’ for $24.00. The set  includes 2 oz. size containers of  ‘Hair Milk Co-Wash Cleansing Conditioner, Hair Milk Original Leave-In Moisturizer, Hair Milk Lite Leave-In Moisturizer and Hair Milk Pudding’.

For the last minute gifters, hopefully this list helps you narrow down what to get for those that are beauty obsessed. If you prefer to shop in the store definitely check out the makeup and hair gift sets. If you are an online shopper, the beauty sample memberships are a great choice because it doesn’t require you to ship anything. They do the shipping monthly for you!
