Holiday Gifts For The Beauty Obsessed

By Caitlin

There are many beauty freaks out there like me and trust me, we don’t ever get sick of unwrapping new beauty supplies for the holidays! I love the sweet smell of lotions and perfumes, eyeliners and mascaras! Honestly, I’ll take beauty products over another gift card to Bloomies, any day. Let’s be honest, I’ll end up spending that on stuff at the MAC counter anyway.

Most of the beauty supply stores are doing huge doorbusters and giving away lots of free stuff, so you can snag plenty of swag to get your friends. We beauty freaks appreciate the little fragrance samplers and mini tubes of lipstick, so I’ve put together the perfect guide for your beauty obsessed friends!

The Sephora Ultimate Blockbuster
This $400 value makeup kit is selling for just $48! That is a HUGE steal! It contains 84 eyeshadows, 60 lipglosses, lipliners, eyeliners, some brushes and a book with instructions for various looks. It all folds together neatly in a portable case and is definitely the most versatile gift you can get one of your beauty freak friends!

ULTA 3-in-1 Shower Smoothies
1. These bottles are gigantic. I’ve had one last me a year and a half.
2. They smell delicious and don’t leave an overpowering scent after.
3. They come in tons of flavors like Appletini, Pink Champagne, Chocolate Milkshake, and holiday flavors like Gingerbread Cookie and Candy Cane!

Right now they’re only $8.99 AND buy 2 get 1 free! That’s a major deal!

The Clarisonic Mia
I put this beauty tool on my Christmas list and it’s the only thing I want this year. The wonderful folks at Clarisonic have released a smaller and cheaper version of their skin cleansing brush. This tool is revolutionary for skincare. It gently exfoliates and gets all of that makeup, dead skin, and dirt off of your face leaving you with smooth, silky skin. The kit includes the Clarisonic Mia, charger, a sensitive brush head, and a trial size gentle cleanser. If you order from Clarisonic directly, you get a free gift and you can personalize your gift with an engraving!

Benefit BADgal World’s Best Mascaras
Benefit makes some great mascaras, and this duo of plum and black mascaras makes a great stocking stuffer! I’ve used both of these, and they’re amazing products. The plum instantly brings out the color in eyes, and everyone needs a good black mascara for everyday wear.

Deluxe Fragrance Sampler
Finding a good perfume is hard. Have you ever tried sniffing all the newest scents at the store? If you don’t end up with a headache, you do end up with some awful scent because they all start to smell the same. Well, not with this little kit. It comes with 12 samples of new fragrances that she can actually try on and take for a test drive and a voucher that your giftee can bring to Sephora to redeem for a free full size bottle of a fragrance she loves best!

Bedhead Mini Styling Iron
There is nothing worse than spending 30 minutes straightening your hair in the morning only to walk outside and have it frizz out in seconds. That is why every girl needs her own travel flat iron. This one is super cheap and the perfect size to throw in a messenger bag. She can fix her hair between classes, at the gym… the possibilities are endless.

Not Soap Radio Sorority Products
If you have a long list of sisters to gift to this year, Not Soap Radio’s line of sorority inspired goodies will do the trick. They’ve got everything from hand lotion to face palettes personalized for every chapter out there. The packaging is adorable and the products are really great, too.
