2020 Christmas Gift Guide - Beauty
Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself!
Buying gifts for the special lady in your life whether it’s your Mom, Wife, Sister or BFF can be hard sometimes! At the end of the day, it’s the thought that counts but why not make it more than that and give her something that also makes her feel good! Good quality beauty products always make me happy and I hope these ones listed below do the same for your loved ones!
Below are my picks for beauty sets that will for sure light up any women’s face!
Ole Henriksen Mega Wonders Set – I have been using Ole products for a few months now and I am so in love with how they make my skin feel. Their serum is amazing and the moisturizer is thick so a little bit goes a long way! Bonus, they smell delicious!
Drunk Elephant – The Littles set. I have heard so many people rave about Drunk Elephant products and I can see why. They have soo many reviews online and although they are a bit more on the $$$ side, I think it’s well worth it. This Littles set is the perfect gift because she can try it all out and if she loves it, she can purchase the full size set.
Tarte – Tarte carries some of my all-time favorite makeup! I can’t believe 2020 is when I started using their Shapetape. It’s the BEST concealer and I wish I knew about it sooner. This is one product that I know EVERY girl loves! Below are some of my favorite Tarte makeup products.
Missing the Medi-Spa? This kit provides an at home Medi-Spa experience perfect for a self-care night. Featuring a full-sized Hydra Filling Cream and mini Glycolic Microdermabrasion Polish and Dual Acid Brightening peel, this kit will help improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles over time while revealing a brighter skin tone.
This would make the perfect present for your BFF or even your mama! I love that it has Hyaluronic Acid and an antiaging peptide complex that are blended together to target the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Neostrata’s Triple Firming Neck Cream kit reduces visible signs of aging on the neck and décolletage for skin that appears firmer, lifted, and more evenly toned. Featuring a full sized Triple Firming Neck Cream and mini Intensive Eye Therapy and Tri-Therapy Serum these potent formulations can be used for noticeable results that continue to build with time.
I’ve never thought about using a neck cream and I’m looking forward to trying this one!
EOS Champagne Pop and Coconut Lip and Lotion Gift Set
Toast to good cheer with Champagne Pop lip balm, a mocktail mixed with flavor notes of sparkling champagne and a hint of juicy peach nectar. The warm and sun-kissed Coconut hand and body cream smells like creamy coconut blended with lush hibiscus and solar musk.
