Gift Guide: The Beauty of Giving

By Kirsten|December 12th, 2013|Beauty Buzz, Gift Guide|

Okay, fine. She doesn’t quite seem to fit into any of the five gift giving categories from yesterday. Deep breaths, drama queen. I have a fairly easy fix, my friend. There are very few (although, astonishingly, there are some) women who would turn their perfectly powdered little noses up at the gift of beauty. Since the time we are old enough to sneak into mama’s rouge, we are mesmerized by makeup. The beauty industry caught onto this and made your life a whole heck of a lot easier because many of them have crafted up kits especially for the holiday season. But aside from the limited edition palettes, there are plenty of fun ways to gift your buddy with beauty.

1. Bobbi Brown Basic Brush Collection, 2. The New Black Foiled Again 5pc Nail Set, 3. Diptyque 34 Boulevard Saint Germain Soap, 4. Oribe Purse Size Collection, 5.

Gift Guide: Beauty Buff

By Kirsten|December 1st, 2011|Gift Guide|

I don’t know a girl who doesn’t love receiving something not only beautiful, but also beautifying. While we’ve outgrown the ol’ Bath & Body Works gift sets, it’s still wonderful to give (and receive!) the gift of beauty. I could have listed a hundred products that would make more than stellar gifts, but I have whittled it down to ten as to not overwhelm you. Maybe these gifts didn’t tickle your fancy, but they did get you thinking about buying someone special something from the beauty department. Here are a few tips to keep in mind while shopping:

Don’t give something offensive like a waxing kit (even if she does have a hairy upper lip).
Perfume is way too personal (unless recipient has told you EXACTLY which fragrance she’s wishing for).
When in doubt, go for something with lots of options, like a kit where she can mix and match to make the perfect shade.

1. Bliss Glow Ho Ho Gift Set, $75, 2. Fresh Sake Ritual Bath Set, $95, 3. Laura Mercier Creme Brulee Trio, $60, 4. Philosophy Holiday Bundle Ornament Set, $15, 5. NARS Kudoki Kabuki Lip Set, $125, 6. Urban Decay 24/7 Travel Size Pencil Set, $32, 7. Red Carpet Manicure Starter Kit with Portable Light, $59.99, 8. NARS Kuroko Kabuki Mini Nail Polish Coffret, $35, 9.
