It’s the most wonderful time of the year…the holidays are here! And if you need any last minute gift ideas, I have some for ya! I’ve taken the guess work out of the “What should I get for..?” These gifts are great for your trendy teenage niece to your modern woman aunt to your grandma…and all for under $70!
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Loose Color + Glitter Trios, $26
For the lady who loves a little sparkle! The eye trio comes with two loose powders and one glitter shade. Wear them alone or layer them to get a dazzling result! Be sure to prep the lid before application with an eye primer for best long lasting results. The trio comes in four different shades and is vegan and cruelty free. Truly, perfect for all!
Obsessive Compulsive Lip Duo, $24
Get the perfect pout with this lip duo from OCC. The revolutionary brand is made vegan friendly and cruelty free with only the best ingredients like hemp and peppermint oil. Line and define your lips, then apply the moisture rich, long wear lip tar for an opaque payoff. Pick these little duo bundles up at Urban Outfitters.
Rose Metals Palette by Velvet 59, $45
This year Velvet 59 launched the first ever hybrid palette in Rose Metals. The palette is one of a kind offering a blush, eyeshadow and highlighter for face and lips all-in-one. The palette is beautiful by design and luxe by performance. The colors are vibrant and suitable for all skin tones. You can have a clear conscious when purchasing Velvet 59 Rose Metals Palette because it has no Talc or Mica and is sourced from “Child Free Labor Mines.” It is also Vegan, Gluten Free, Paraben Free and Cruelty Free.
Isabel Isabel by Isabel Toledo, $52.50
What do you get when you mix art + beauty + fragrance? A magical world of scent created by the ever fabulous Isabel and Ruben Toledo. Isabel Isabel, found exclusively at Lane Bryant, is celestial, gentle, and delicate. The perfect scent for any woman. The glass bottle holding the beautiful fragrance is piece of art itself. The glass is dipped in gold, resembling Isabel’s dream house, and then illustrated with her husband Ruben’s painstaking artistry. Remarkable and timeless. Pick up an Eau de Parfum for $52.50 or a rollerball for $16.50 at Lane Bryant.
Hard Candy Cosmetics at Walmart
For the young gal who loves experimenting and just getting into makeup the Hard Candy at Walmart line is irresistible. Pop into any Walmart and grab one of the awesome gift sets for under $20! Sets include so many items from lip gloss to eye shadow!
Neutrogena Light Therapy Acne Mask, $34.99
Reduce the appearance of breakouts with a daily 10 minute treatment. I’ve been using this mask ever since I was introduced to it a couple of months ago at its launch event, and can say that it’s a great gift for the skincare junkie who loves testing new beauty tech at an affordable price. If you don’t know it by now, the best makeup application starts with a good skincare regime and this mask is the perfect start to getting your skin in gear.
There’s so much to think about this time of year. I’ve kept things affordable, because I know just how many people you have to shop for. And cost-effective doesn’t have to mean unexciting. You can still get one of the year’s hottest gifts—for under $60.
Hope your holidays are filled with lots of laughter and joy!
Merry, Merry
