FOR THE LOVE OF GLOSS

Tis the season to shower our loved ones with pretty little gifts. If you’re looking something for the beauty junkie on your list, or just want to give the gift of a little pampering, this list of the season’s top beauty gifts has you covered.

Skincare Gifts

I like masks as a skincare gift – a face mask is a great way to nourish skin and indulge in a little self care, without a huge time commitment. Sephora offers a variety of sheet masks that are inexpensive and effective. But my top pick is this Peter Thomas Roth Baggage Blast Off hydragel eye patch kit. These under eye masks feel so good and treat a variety of concerns. Bonus: once you put them on they’ll stay in place while you attend to other tasks – perfect for the multitasker in your life.

Makeup Gifts

For the makeup lovers on your list, you can’t go wrong with a Thrive Causemetics Infinity Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick. They come in several pretty shades (choose between matte or shimmer), glide on effortlessly and last all day. For the pout-princesses in your life, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DermInfusions Plump + Repair Lip Treatment is just the thing. It plumps (with just a hint of tingle after application), hydrates and leaves lips looking full and glossy. I layer it on top of lipstick. It even comes in a mini version, packaged for gifting!

Nail Care Gifts

The Olive and June Mani System is THE gift for the do-it-yourselfer who wants a salon quality manicure at home. The system truly works. Following the simple directions, you can give yourself a perfect manicure in about 10 minutes (not including drying time). The clippers are the best I’ve ever used and the top coat is truly long lasting. I find these manicures usually last 6 days without chipping.

Body Care Gifts

When it comes to winter body care gifts, I’m all about hydration. L’Occitane hand creams never go out of style. Osea Undaria Algae Body Oil is a lightweight body oil with a pleasantly herbal scent that glides into skin and leaves you feeling pampered from head to toe. If you’re looking for something a little less pricey, Kopari Ultra Restore Body Butter is rich and moisturizing without being greasy.

Haircare Gifts

For the tress-obsessed in your life, I’ve got the perfect stocking stuffer: Ouai Detox Shampoo smells amazing, removes product buildup and leaves locks soft, shiny and healthy.

Fragrance Gifts

Last but not least, gifts for the perfume addict in your life. Fragrances are so personal it can be hard to pick one out for someone else. That’s why I love mini samplers – they’re adorable, and allow the receiver to try a few options to see what suits them best. Why not give the gift of Gucci with this Gucci Flora mini set? Or my top pick this season, this Marc Jacobs Daisy & Daisy Wild gift set.

Happy shopping!
