Hello hello!
I hope everyone had an amazing weekend, I know I did! I spent all day Saturday and Sunday playing blog nerd while attending the amazing Blogshop Photoshop/Blog seminar in Miami, along with Niki and Ali from Papery & Cakery. The things we learned will blow the tops off your lipstick tubes! I’ve done my hardest taking some of the skills I learned and applying them to today’s post, but as with anything in life, practice makes perfect so fingers crossed you guys will actually be able to see the results over time!
Anywho, all week I’m going to be presenting Live Love Lipstick’s Gift Guides for this holiday season and for our Cosmetic Case of the Mondays, today we will of course discuss the Cosmetic portion of the Gift Guide (obvi my fav!). Here are the top 5 fab beauty sets/products that would make great gifts or should definitely be at the top of your own wish list!
1. Sephora Favorites Super Stars: This wonder box is filled with all of Sephora’s top selling products. Despite it’s somewhat steep price compared to Sephora’s other boxed sets, it comes with five full-sized products so it truly is a great savings! Some of my fav items included are the Benefit Cosmetics They’re Real Mascara, Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish in Dolly, Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, and seriously so much more! Let’s just say there’s a reason it’s been sold out online for a while, but check your local Sephora!
2. Boscia Pink Peppermint Blotting Linens: A pack of 100 blotting tissues infused with peppermint for a great pick-me-up for your face. The best part about these is you can remove unwanted oil without messing up your makeup! Would be a great stocking stuffer or Secret Santa gift!
3. Urban Decay NAKED2 Eyeshadow Palette: I truly think this palette is one of the best makeup products that have come out in the past year, for reals. If there is one eye shadow palette that you’re looking to buy for yourself or someone else, it should be this one! Just ask my girlfriends, as I’ve been known to gift it for birthdays!
4. Sephora Collection Deco Daze Clutch Brush Set: This is one of the coolest gifts that Sephora came out with for the holidays, it’s a set of five brushes that are great for travel and best part they came in this GORG black and gold clutch (that so reminds me of the DVF clutches I’m obsessed with) that I have every intention of actually using as a clutch!
5. LORAC Eye Candy Full Face Collection: We know two things that I love: makeup and candy, so how could I not love this gift set from LORAC? It comes with six palettes all deisnged to look like wrapped chocolate bars (which even come in a ridiculous cute box) and consist of four eye shadow palettes, one cream eye liner palette, and one cheek and lip tint palette. They will definitely satisfy anyone’s beauty cravings!
Stay tuned for tomorrow’s next Gift Guide!
