Happy Holidays everyone! Just wanted to share my gift guides with anyone who is searching for the perfect beauty gift for the special someone in your life. Each part will feature a gift guide fit for every beauty personality, so stay tuned!

Hover over the + sign on any product to buy it directly!   These products are perfect for your pre-teen who is just budding into the world of makeup/fashion/beauty. This is a great starter pack for her. Good brushes are key to any makeup kit. Learning that a little concealer, fresh blush, natural lips and a hint of mascara is all she needs to enhance her natural beauty is all she needs! Other ideas: A facial or brow wax gift certificate to Hey, Gorgeous! (skincare and groomed brows are important!) or Bobbi Brown’s Teenage Beauty would also make great gifts.   Sisters are extremely special. The bond that you have with your sister is completely unique and something that you cherish no matter the differences. I have two younger sisters who keep me on my toes. For the most part I think I’m kind of with it, but they truly know what’s up- what’s cool, what’s not, what’s in, and how I’m embarrassing myself. So for this gift guide, I put together what my sisters like.
-You will see makeup brushes/sets on most of my guides because they really are a great gift. You can find lots of sets at every price point but most of my favorite brushes came from either the sale section at Ulta or Sephora, Target or on Amazon!

-Primers: shadow and face primers really do make such a difference on your makeup’s hour-wear.

-A nice eyeshadow palette

-Sephora’s annual best of mascara sampler. Always a great price to try out different travel sized tubes of mascara to see which one you like best. All three of us have Mom and Dad to thank for our long lashes that we love to play up!

-Bite Beauty’s Opal Lipgloss: what’s not to love with shiny, iridescent lip gloss??

-Chanel Noir Creme Shadow: My middle sister Claire and I’s obsession with any burgundy lipstick or shadow is getting out of hand. We both about died when we saw their Holiday collection.

-Lush Hair Doctor Hair Mask. My sisters have incredible, healthy, long, flowy, covetable hair that makes me wish I never dyed mine. Okay, kind of-I love to experiment-but I do wish I had their hair health!

-Sephora gift cards to buy what they want since we all have different tastes and styles in how we wear our makeup!

 

Shopping for your best friend is a little like shopping for yourself. Your tastes are pretty similar and of course you get reap the perks of getting to borrow when you want!

-Nars Steven Klein Audacious Eyeshadow Palette: I can’t stop raving about how much I love these shadows-I want to share them with everyone!

Tiossan Le Soufi Moisturizing Body Cream: I stumbled upon this brand just before Mother’s Day this year. The texture is non-greasy, super moisturizing and smells INCREDIBLE. Made in Senegal, 10% of each sale returns to fund the Bottle of Ambition Project to build schools and create jobs for the Senegalese community by bringing high-end luxury beauty products from Africa.

-Cranberry Mask from Lush: The ever-changing weather has my skin all over the place, I’m sure I’m not alone! Brighten and boost dull looking skin with the antioxidant powers of cranberry, fennel, rose and argan oil. And masks are really fun to sit in and watch TV with your bestie over a glass of wine! Same goes with the de-puffing cucumber eye mask!

-Bright lips: give your bestie my favorite lip balm that re-plumps and flatters your complexion by altering it’s color to your body’s pH throughout the day then when it’s time for yall to go out on the town, Bite Beauty’s combo pack or a striking color from Nars Audacious Lipstick collection make great options.

-RMS Illuminator is the perfect highlighter for glowing skin

-Anything to groom brows to frame the face and one of my favorite mascara from Sephora are great gifts too!

 

Stay tuned for Part II ! Keep in mind gift certificates for makeupRX sessions, tans, and makeup application are available and would make great stocking stuffers!

Happy Holidays!
