**CLICK ANY IMAGE TO SHOP THE ITEM DIRECTLY**

Beauty products are some of my favorite gifts to give and receive during the holidays. I mean what girl doesn’t love to play with beauty products. As I’ve gotten older, I definitely have been experimenting with beauty items more than ever before. I’m always up for trying out a new product or having fun with my beauty/skin/hair routine. Here are a few of my favorite beauty gifts for the holidays:

Quality makeup brushes are truly a luxury item for a beginner makeup artist.  So if have a budding makeup lover to shop for this holiday season, then this set would make an amazing gift. And you can also pick this cute set to make sure the brushes stay nice and clean.

This body scrub smells beautiful and will make your skin feel so soft and hydrated.  

I love all of the skincare sets that come out around the holidays. These sets are perfect to experiment with to figure out what you like. If you were ever curious about Drunk Elephant products, then try out The Littles.  It's the best way to check out most of the collection and it would make a nice gift too.

And lately I’ve accumulated quite the eyeshadow collection and I have a few favorites palettes like this one and this one that I think would make a perfect gift for any makeup lover.

Anyways, check out my beauty gift ideas below and let me know some of your favorite beauty pieces.

Shopping Mood - For the Beauty Queen

Are you all ready for Christmas? I’m definitely not! It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is already here again! I mean we haven’t even celebrated Thanksgiving yet.  It seems like most retail stores have jumped right over Thanksgiving since they’ve been decked out for Christmas since Nov. 1st.  So naturally I’ve already started thinking about all of the shopping that I still need to do.  And if you’re like me and you always seem to find yourself doing some last minute shopping, then it’s never too early to start planning. The sooner that you start planning ahead, the sooner you’ll eliminate the unwanted stress that accompanies the season’s shopping and gift-giving frenzy.  And you may find that you’ll find better deals and stay within your budget.  This year I’m really going to try hard to take my own advice with planning ahead.  Since we only have 42 days until Christmas, I’ll be posting several holiday gift guides to help you take the guesswork out of shopping for everyone on your list. Be sure to come back here for a new gift guide each week until Christmas and let me know what you think. Also, if you have any additional gift suggestions, please leave them in the comments below.  I would love to hear from you.

The first gift guide that I’m excited to share with you all includes beauty items that I would love to buy for myself.  From small makeup palettes and nail polish sets to perfume and brush sets, you’ll be sure to find something for the beauty obsessed lady on your list. I made sure to find gifts at several different price points and the best part is that everything is under $75.00.  Here are some of my top beauty picks this holiday season.

HOLIDAY SHOPPING TIP

Set a maximum spending limit for your Christmas shopping: Before you start thinking about what gifts to buy for your loved ones or who’s names to put on your list – it's important to calculate how much money you can afford to spend.  It will save you from having any surprises with your finances in the future.
