2018 Holiday Gift Guide Beauty

December 19, 2018

1. Oribe mousse + hairspray – I’ve been using Oribe products for years, but didn’t try their mousse until this year.  Hello, game changer.  Paired with the best workable hairspray on the market, your mane will look voluminous and G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S.

2. Oil pulling kit – if you haven’t tried oil pulling, I highly recommend it.  Not only does it rid the body of toxins, but it promotes gum and dental health like you wouldn’t believe.  It naturally makes teeth whiter too – no chemicals!

3. Goop moisturizer set – after going through moisturizers for the last 4 years and not finding one I love, I hit the jackpot with these.  The daytime revitalizing moisturizer and the repairing nighttime moisturizer are the bomb.

4. Dry brushing kit – like oil pulling but for your skin, this kit promotes circulation, cell turnover and reduces cellulite.

5. Francisco Nars beauty book – I love a good coffee table book and this one is visually stunning and has fabulous behind the scenes anecdotes from the man himself.

6. Skin enhancer – hands down the best beauty product I own.  I use it as a concealer, but it can also be used as foundation or highlighter.

7. Le Labo perfume – my signature scent.  Every time I wear it people always ask what it is.  A close second is this one, also by Le Labo.  These fragrances aren’t mixed until you order them to ensure optimum freshness and they LAST.

8. Invigorating mint body lotion – my daily body lotion, it leaves me feeling refreshed and ready to start the day thanks to the intoxicating mint scent.

9. Eye polish + eyeshadow palette – when I do a smokey eye, this is my combo.  Everyone thinks I have professional blending abilities, but it’s truly just the magic of these two products together.  Start with the RMS eye polish as a base, then apply each color in clockwise order from brow to crease.  Instant bombshell.

10. Nail polish kit – I recently starting using this 9-free line of nail polish and am hooked.  The brushes are built to ensure a perfect application every time.

11. Lipstick trio – I’m a lipstick junkie and these 3 shades are best sellers, leave your lips hydrated and smell divine.  Yay for green beauty that’s richly pigmented!

Holiday gift ideas for the beauty lover in your life

Click the images above to shop!

1. Byredo perfume – if you’ve never tried Byredo fragrances, get thee to Nordstrom!  Truly long-lasting and luxurious, Gypsy Water is my favorite with woody notes of sandalwood and vanilla, topped with lemon and pepper for a zesty finish.

2. Hair by Sam McKnight – THE coffee table book for beauty lovers, it’s 296 pages of the most innovative and beautiful hairstyles ever.

3. Cirque nail polish – every gal needs a holiday nail color and this one, slightly infused with glitter, is super flattering for any fête.

4. Makeup brush cleaning set – I wish I would have known about this product sooner!  A non-toxic tool for getting your makeup brushes 100% clean, this set is a must-have.

5. Bath oil collection – perfect for soothing winter skin, these velvety bath oils are made of completely natural, non-harmful ingredients.

6. Glossier 3-piece set – Boy Brow is my favorite brow gel EVER and this 3-piece set allows you to customize your color along with two of their other best selling products, Stretch Concealer and Generation G (try it in my fave, Zip).

7. Glamglow mask – hands down my favorite mask, I use this before special occasions and photoshoots for glowing, flawless skin.

8. Highlighting palette – there is a reason this is the #1 selling blush, bronzing and highlighting palette on the market.  Perfect for any skin tone, the quality is top notch and will last forever.

9. Evo She-bang-a-bang dry wax spray – hands down my favorite styling spray, this creates pliable texture and volume without the stickiness.  With cheeky names like She-bang-a-bang and Water Killer (dry shampoo) you can’t help but love this line.  Right now spend $75 and get 25% off your order!

10. Velvet headband – these were all over the runways at NYFW.  I love how they easily and affordably dress up any outfit for the holidays and beyond, in the chicest of ways.

11. Makeup mirror – every beauty lover needs a good makeup mirror for close-up application and this gold cat-eared one couldn’t be cuter.

12. Lipstick Queen Trio – I received these as a gift with purchase and was blown away by their transformative abilities.  While I thought I was going to have lips the color of a frog, exactly the opposite occurred.  The green lipstick adapts to your skin to create a beautiful pink shade, the blue a red and the yellow a berry!

13. Body scrub – this raw cacao scrub has top reviews, smells amazing and is only $15.
