Happy Blogmas post #3! For all you parents, husbands, and friends that don’t know what to buy your makeup loving best friend, I’ve gotcha covered. Today is all about sharing a holiday beauty gift guide with you! I want to give you some ideas that your makeup obsessed friend would be impressed/overjoyed that you bought for them.

I love gift guides for many reasons, but also because it gives my family a few ideas too; of course I want all these items too! These are all beauty & makeup related items- I’ll be doing another gift guide later for those of you who want some more info on what to get people in your life.

Tarte Blush Bazaar Amazonian Clay Blush Palette $44.00 

Dear Santa, this one is definitely on my list! I have seen Tarte do these wheel palette’s many times and never taken the plunge. I love to mix up my blush look so this is a perfect palette for me. If you know a beauty and makeup lover, this is a great, multi-use palette for any kind of look you want. There seems to be at least one of every color of blush you can have- it’s a great way to have versatility without buying many different little blush containers you then have to store. A makeup lover would enjoy this because it offers such diversity and options all in one palette. And for you non-makeup people, $44 is not a bad price for the size of this high end palette.

Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Written In The Stars Set $25.00

If you makeup loving friend, wife, daughter, etc. is a glittery or shiny kind of girl- get her this! Ya’ll know I love the Stila Magnificent Metals Liquid Shadows and this is a holiday set of three smaller sized ones. The shades that are included are: Kitten Karma, Diamond Dust, & Smoky Storm. These glitter shadows are incredible. Obviously, I don’t wear them daily, but for a fun look or a special event/night out they are a great way to glitz up your makeup look. Stay tuned, I will be doing a “Holiday Makeup Look” during Blogmas using one of these liquid shadows. Any makeup lover would love these fun and shiny liquid shadows- and you get to try 3 different colors for the price of one.

Clinique Merry and Bright Set $39.50

Clinique has always been a favorite brand of mine, I currently don’t buy much from them but I am hoping to change that. I loved the look of this holiday makeup set. A set is a great gift for any beauty lover because it is a little bit of many things. You get a taste of several items- usually for a pretty good price. Clinique is a great brand and this set is beautiful colors anyone can wear. This set includes nothing too extreme and very wearable & beautiful colors. A $116 value for only $39.50 is a great deal for some great quality products! You get a little bit of everything in this; perfect for a gift!

Lush Deck the Halls Gift Set $29.95

Lush! I love Lush bath bombs and bubble bars for my baths. If you have a bath lover in your family, you need to get them a gift set. Deck the Halls is just one of many holiday gift sets that Lush offers. I love this one because it is all bath products. It comes with 2 bath bombs (Pink & Butterbear) and 1 bubble bar (Plum Snow). Lush’s gift sets are perfect because just like the Clinique set because you get a little bit of a few things. I love giving these gift sets especially when they are filled with bath goodies!

Soap & Glory Pink Big $40.00 

Soap & Glory is becoming one of my favorite beauty brands. I haven’t dabbled in their makeup but their bath & body stuff is amazing. This “Pink Big” set includes: a hand cream, a foot cream, shower gel, body scrub, loofah, and a headband. If you get this for someone in your life, it is like giving them a day at the spa! Soap & Glory knows how to pamper you and this set is perfect for it. I have tried their hand cream and it is an amazing smell! It’s sweet but not too sweet of course; perfect for my liking and hopefully yours.

Smashbox Drawn In. Decked Out. Shadow + Highlight Palette Set $39.00

Smashbox is known for these little limited edition sets like this. They came out with some last summer and I was so disappointed I never grabbed one. This years set includes 2 eye shadow palettes and one highlight palette. There is one grey-smoky eye shadow palette with some deep purples in it. The second palette is a little more warm toned but not overly orange. Both I believe are very wearable for any skin tone or shadow preference. Meaning, I prefer cool toned colors but the warmer palette is still very wearable for me. The highlight palette is their Spotlight palette in pearl. I sound like a broken record but just like everything else, it is perfect for a gift because it is a little bit of a few things-great way to try out new brands and products.
