Gift Guide: The Best Beauty Gifts
Back with another gift guide! Today it’s all about beauty. I’m not just referring to lipstick, eyeshadow, and bronzer. From hand creams to shower caps to a DIY nail polish kit, face masks and more, there is sure to be a gift idea in here that the beauty lover in your life will swoon over.
1. Ahava Happy Minerals Mini Hand Cream Collection / Hands down, the best hand cream (see what I did there?) is the Ahava Mineral Hand Cream, and especially this time of year, anyone would love to receive a collection of creams to help those yucky dry hands!
2. Dry Divas Shower Cap with Vintage Brooch / Who only washes their hair a couple times per week? *raises hand* I’m constantly using a shower cap, and I can’t tell you how many of them don’t work! Apparently this one does, and it’s so much cuter than those boring ones you get at the drugstore.
3. Charlotte Tilbury Makeup Bag / I have this makeup bag and ADORE it. I love the material, the lip print, and it fits all my beauty essentials.
4. Essie Fall 2016 Mini Four Pack / Essie always kills it with their color assortment, and this season is no exception. Get your mani obsessed friend this four pack of the hottest colors out right now.
5. Peter Thomas Roth Mask Vault / I have heard incredible things about Peter Thomas Roth masks, and I’ve been dying to try one! But why try one when you can try the 6 most popular ones he offers?! This item is most definitely making its way onto my Hanukkah list.
6. Jane Iredale Starter Kit / If you’re unfamiliar with Jane Iredale, it’s a makeup line consisting of natural mineral, hypoallergenic, cruelty-free skincare makeup and it comes highly recommended. I’ve tried a few of their things and am a big fan. This starter kit is great for anyone just starting out with makeup or just starting out with this line.
7. Miss Daisy Mixed Bristle Brush / The cutest brush. Enough said.
8. Beauty Blender with Blender Cleanser / I can’t say enough good things about this little sponge. It’s truly the best, and the cleanser is worth every penny. It works on not only the sponge, but on makeup brushes, too, and I’ve never used such a great makeup brush cleaner…ever.
9. Mask It! All Over Set / I’ve only tried the hand mask, but I absolutely LOVED it, so I imagine all the others are just as great.
10. Le Labo ‘Rose 31’ Travel Tubes / One of my all time favorite scents. So so SO good. And travel sizes are the best.
11. Make Your Own Nail Polish Kit / I’m not the greatest DIYer, BUT this looks really fun.
12. Laura Mercier Ovarian Cancer Fund Compact Mirror / Gifts that give back are simply the very best gifts to give and receive. All of the proceeds from this compact mirror go to the Ovarian Cancer Fund. It’s a super cute mirror, too.
13. Charlotte Tilbury Magical Mini Brush Set / When makeup brushes are of great quality, work well, AND are beautiful to look at, that’s a good combination in my book. These brushes are all those things, and I highly recommend.
14. Bobbi Brown Limited Edition London, New York, and Paris Palettes / Honestly, I’d buy these for the covers alone. How amazing are they?! The colors are pretty fab, too.
