December 8, 2016

¡Hola! Its my favorite time of the year! I absolutely adore getting the perfect gift for the people I love. As I began the search for gifts, I thought that it would be nice to share the amazing finds I found in a series of gift guides! Here are some options for the beauty lover in your life:

SKINCARE
1. Sunday Riley Power Couple Duo: Total Transformation Kit ($85)- My favorite skin care line offers this money saving duo with two of their best products! This is definitely a splurge gift, maybe the best one for yourself!

3. Boscia Mask It All ($49)- Great for that person in your life who loves a good face mask!
4. Clinique Sparkle & Glow for Drier Skins ($10)- This little duo would make a great stocking stuffer for someone who has a trip planned or who is new to skin care.
5. Foreo Luna Play ($39)- This little thing is great for any skin care lover or newbie! Once you apply your cleanser, use this to work it into your skin!

The First Aid Beauty FAB Holiday Trio ($15) is another, cheaper option!

FACE
1. Benefit Cosmetics Cheekathon Blush & Bronzer Palette ($58)- Perfect for a young adolescent trying out makeup for the first time!
2. Urban Decay Naked Flushed ($32)- I have purchased this palette twice! Love to use the bronzer as a crease shade!
3. Hourglass Ambient® Lighting Edit - Surreal Light ($80)- This is another splurge item that I believe is well worth every penny! I have last year's palette and I still use it almost every day! Great gift for a girlfriend or wife!
4. Smash Box Try It Kit Primer Authority ($29)- Anyone in your life who needs a good primer? gift them this! Also love Smashbox Try It Kit Bestsellers ($22) for a more complete kit.
5. Too Faced Let It Glow Highlight & Blush Kit ($25)- Great stocking option for some glow!
6. Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection ($38)- I love the Champagne Pop highlighter but this option seems like a better gift as it also includes a beautiful blush!
7. Tarteist™ PRO Glow to Go Highlight & Contour Palette ($23)- Another great option for a makeup newbie.
8. Too Faced Naughty Kisses & Sweet Cheeks Set ($36)- This is a great option because you can divide the gift for 3 different people! Money saver!
9. Beautyblender® with mini Blendercleanser® solid® ($25)- I cannot live without my beauty blender! Its the gift that keeps on giving!

1. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Oil-In-Stick Lipstick ($37)- YSL lipstick packaging is gorgeous! Gift you lady one of these in a holiday red color for a classic look! 
3. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Mini Lipstick Trio ($39)- I've never tried Charlotte Tilbury makeup but everyone from England raves about them!

  1. Hola! Thanks for the great ideas! Just read that Sunday Riley was your favorite skincare line; I've been meaning to try some of their products but don't know if I should take the splurge. Could you do a review on them? I would love it and appreciate it! :)

    1. I'm so glad you liked the post! I don't own many of their products because they are expensive but, the ones I do own I love! I started out with deluxe samples and got hooked! The kit mentioned here is one I continuously repurchase :) I'll be sure to keep you in mind for future post ideas!
