I was trolling the Web for holiday gift guide ideas this weekend. (OK, so the gift ideas were actually for me, and I was wasting time after yoga until the Jets-Giants game started. But at least I’m honest.) I found some great things that the beauty junkie in your life would appreciate.
Almost everything is less than $100! (The one-year Birchbox and Birchbox Man subscriptions are $110.) Many items are less than $75. I tried to include things at different price points.
Makeup
How adorable are these Charlotte Tilbury Mini-Lipstick Charms?
And these M.A.C. “Irresistibly Charming” mini lip gloss sets come in nude, pink, and violet.
If you’ve got a rock chick on your list, she’ll love the UD x Gwen eye shadow palette from Urban Decay.
The bareMinerals blush and eye shadow wardrobe has everything she’ll need, in colors that flatter everyone.
Nails
Empire fans will love this nail polish set from Deborah Lippmann, with colors inspired by the Cookie Monster herself.
And how gorgeous is the Deborah Lippmann Roses In the Snow Nail Color Duo?
Or maybe she’s a fashionista. She’ll love this Allure for butter LONDON Nail Lacquer Set.
I love the colors in the butter LONDON RSVP Set. They’re perfect all year round, actually.
For the girl who likes to change up her polish color, how about butter LONDON’s Twelve Months of Manis set?
Skin
The masks in this Glossier Mask Duo are supposed to be amazing.
I love the Wonderglow Instant Soft-Focus Beauty Flash Primer in Charlotte Tilbury‘s The Gift of Goddess Skin Travel Set. And I have heard good things about the Goddess Skin Clay Mask and Charlotte’s Magic Cream.
For a few more dollars, you could get Charlotte’s The Gift of Red Carpet Skin Travel Set, which has the mask, primer, and Magic Cream, and also includes Multi-Miracle Glow, Supermodel Body body contouring cream, and Take It All Off makeup remover.
Makeup Brushes
If it’s makeup brushes she needs, how great are these “Enchanted Eve” travel-size brushes from M.A.C.?
Hair
The Living Proof “Happy Hair Days” Collection includes the Perfect Hair Day dry shampoo I love. A “No Frizz” Discovery Set and a “Restore” Discovery Set are also available.
Every beauty editor will tell you how great Moroccanoil Treatment smells. So any woman will love the Hydrating Travel Kit or Volume Travel Kit. Each kit includes a shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, and either Moroccanoil Treatment or Treatment Light.
Can’t decide? A gift subscription to Birchbox will let her discover new favorites.
For Him
The guys on your list might like this Kiehl’s Manmade Essentials Starter Set.
A gift subscription to Birchbox Man keeps him thinking of you after the holidays are over.
Here are links to the complete gift guides from Nordstrom, Sephora, and Ulta.The options are endless.
I mentioned trying to include budget-friendly ideas, but if you are the type who goes big or goes home, here’s Rachel Zoe’s luxury beauty gift guide. That UD eye shadow vault? Drool.
What are you hoping for this holiday season? Happy Holidays! xoxo
