The Ultimate Beauty Holiday Gift Guide

Beauty is the holiday gift that keeps on giving. It’s that fine line of “need” and “want”, because you technically need the products, but you also really, really want them. From makeup to skincare to hairstyling tools, we’ve got every beauty-lover on your list covered!

  1. I Dew Care Mini Meow Trio: These masks are so much fun! Who doesn’t want a holographic glitter face? The trio is a great idea for any recipient, so they can try them all.

  3. Rose Quartz Workout Set: Facial rollers and stones are all the rage right now, and this set will help to brighten, tighten, drain toxins and reduce puffiness to give your skin a youthful, radiant glow.
  4. Gucci Bloom Nettare di Fiori Eau de Parfum: Perfume is a classic holiday gift, and this is one of our favorite scents right now. It’s just the right amount of fragrance without being overwhelmingly floral.

  6. Harper + Ari Exfoliating Sugar Cubes: You’ll want to eat these, they smell so dang good (but don’t!). They come in a ton of different scents, but we’re partial to the coconut and gingerbread.
