Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide!


Hey guys! I realized I haven't posted on this bloggie for quite a few days, and I wish I had a better excuse than the fact that I've been busy, sick, and tired......but I don't. :) Anyway, today I'm finally doing my holiday Gift Guide, which I know other bloggers have been posting about for the past month or so (I'm extremely late to the party, as usual!). I created all of these gift guides on Beauty Sets and I really like the way they look :)


Beautysets - Under $15 wishlist
Even with just $15 or less in your wallet, you can get a fabulous gift that most people would expect to be a LOT more expensive than what you really paid. A few of the best things I found are above in the collage. The Laura Gellar Lights in Lips Collection is just $9.75 at ULTA and comes with a great little trio of lip products. Also from ULTA, the Stila Written in the Stars palette is a mere $15 and looks super gorgeous! I love Stila eyeshadows, so I'm sure this palette is great quality. The last three items are all from Sephora, and they all are super cheap, too. Bite Beauty Luminous Cream Lipstick palette is just $10 and the colors are so gorgeous! Stila also came out with their Tiki Lip Glaze Set also for $10, and the colors inside are really pretty. I love Stila Lip Glazes, so that set would make for a great gift. And lastly in this price range is the Tarte Clean Slate Primer Trio for just $9. It's a set of 3 primers all made to do different things like correct, or make you look poreless!

Under $30, I found four great products any beauty lover would love to receive. $30 and under is really not that much to spend on a gift when it's for someone you really love, and these sets are all things that pretty much any girl into makeup at all would really like to get. The Eyeko Skinny Mini set comes with a mascara and eyeliner for only $16 at Sephora. The Urban Decay Naked Basics palette comes with 6 soft, matte eyeshadows for $28 on Urban Decays website. Sephora Draw the Line is a set of 7 eyeliners, so you can try them all out, and it's just $28. And lastly, Smashbox Studio Pop Eye set is $19 on Sephora.com and features a mascara and collection of colored eyeliners.


And lastly, everything else that's more expensive! The Naked2 palette is a great palette of smooth, pigmented neutrals for $50. The LORAC Eye Candy set is $60, but comes with multiple palettes all in the theme of chocolate! Too Faced Natural Eye Palette looks like a  gorgeous neutral collection of shadows for $36. Benefit Legally Bronze comes with a ton of awesome goodies for just $28. And the Beauty Blender set comes with a beauty blender sponge and cleanser mini for $35.

I hope this gift guide was helpful & I would love to know what you guys are buying for your friends and family!

  4. Ooooh I see you included Too Faced Natural Eye palette in there, yey! I'm not sure what to think about UD Basics palette though, it seems a bit pricey for such a small quantity of average looking eyeshadows, or am I wrong?

    1. Yeah, I agree the price is a little expensive, but I have a hard time finding smooth matte shadows, so I'll probably pay it anyway :)
