Gifts of Beauty

Here are some of my favorite gifts of beauty this season. It includes a variety of price points and items for everyone on your list. These are all personal favorites of mine, so I hope you enjoy! All links can be found below as well.

NECESSAIRE BODY SCRUB

This time last year Necessaire sent me some products to try and, oh my god. They are DELICIOUS. The one product I cannot live without in my shower is their body scrub (in either Sandalwood or Eucalyptus). I think it makes for a great gift because a luxe scrub is not something everyone keeps on deck. I think it’s a fabulous gift for anyone.

MERIT BEAUTY ESSENTIALS SET

I love love love Merit Beauty. I use almost all of their products. I’m incredibly selective about beauty sets because sometimes, it think they’re not worth it. This set however has their three BEST products in it. Their blush is phenomenal and can also double as a lip tint. Their lip oil is my favorite lip product, its a mix between a gloss, oil and tint all in one. Their mascara is also phenomenal because its a tubing mascara, so you don’t get that raccoon eye underneath! 100% worth each item in this set.

KIEHLS RARE EARTH PORE MASK

You guys know I am a Kiehl’s Stan. This mask has been with me through some tough times. I love gifting this (it comes in a large and mini size) because it’s gentle for all skin types, so you don’t need to stress if it will work with whomever you’re giving it to. It’s detoxifying, smoothing and cleans the pores. The scent is not overwhelming at all and it just feels luxurious.

JO MALONE PARFUM

I have worn the *same* Jo Malone scent since 2013 (along with a Chloe fragrance too). But I have to say, Jo Malone makes the most sophisticated and elegant perfumes. I personally wear Pomegranate Noir, its sophisticated yet sultry and when I spray it I feel instantly better. I’ve given this to my mom and sisters as gifts and it’s always a hit. Not every woman will buy herself nice perfume, so its a good time to grab it for those you love.

GUA SHA

I began using a Gua Sha to help with lymphatic drainage and facial massage before bedtime. I also use it with skin serums for a treat. I like to try and study the art of Gua Sha before just going at it, as it does have cultural significance. I think it’s such a unique gift! I have noticed such a positive difference in my congestion and skin firmness.

ORIBE GIFT SET

I love Oribe. I love them! Their texturizing spray has to be one of my favorite products. The packaging here is like a work of art, I think it’s simply stunning. The set also comes with their dry shampoo and a travel size of the texturizing spray. An ideal gift for anyone who loves hair care products and beautiful aesthetics!

GOOP DRY BRUSH

Dry brushing is something relatively new to me. But, it’s truly amazing. It’s essentially a dry massage for your skin that gets rid of dead skin and increases circulation among a bunch of other things. Plus, I think it looks super chic on a shelf! I would gift this with your favorite body lotion to anyone who loves good self care.

T3 DUAL ATTACHMENT BRUSH BLOW DRYER

This is number one on my Christmas list (aside from a Dachshund). I have a T3 curler and when I stayed at a hotel over the summer, they had a T3 blow dryer and I knew I needed one. I had the revlon round brush dryer, but it started to destroy my hair (this is not the case for everyone). T3 is a company solely for hair and they know hair really well (I was talking to a reader about this!) I think it’s so chic, a great price point for quality compared to the air wrap, and comes with a second attachment. This is a great gift for anyone who has Dyson on the mind or wants to up their hair drying game!

KRISTEN ESS SCALP SCRUB & HAIR MASK

I’ve tried a lot of fancy scalp scrubs and hair masks and Kristen Ess makes a phenomenal product that is chic and budget friendly! I wash my hair twice a week and use this scalp scrub and mask once a week and it’s such a game changer. I love the bottles and the scent is gentle, too. This would be a great stocking stuffer or gift for any woman who wants to add a little luxe step into their shower routine!

FOLLAIN CANDLE

While this isn’t exactly a beauty product, I felt like it flowed with the overall idea. A candle is a great gift that anyone can use, whether while taking a bath, doing their makeup, or with a face mask on at night. It sets the scene and makes whatever routine they’re doing feel a little more like a spa right at home. A lovely gift if you aren’t sure what type of products someone would love!

LAURA MERCIER CAVIAR STICKS

Disclaimer, I cannot do eyeshadow. BUT I CAN DO THE CAVIAR STICKS! Maddy turned me on to these and I have to say, they are the best cream eyeshadows I’ve ever tried. They blend like a dream and look phenomenal on everyone. They’ve become a mini internet sensation too, and for good reason.

WESTMAN ATELIER BLUSH / LIP STICK

This is pricey, but man oh man is it the best cream blush I’ve ever tried. I have had mine for upwards of six months now and I have plenty of product left. This also doubles as a lip color which is amazing! This gift is perfect for the minimalist beauty woman who loves luxury and quality makeup. It’s not something everyone would grab for themselves, so it would be special for sure!

TRUFFLE BEAUTY CASE

Okay you guys, I just finished writing an entire blog post on Truffle cases! I started using them back in 2018, Nora and I went on a trip to Charleston and I needed some cosmetic cases. I ordered truffle brought them on the trip and we both instantly became obsessed. We ask for them every holiday, I’m not kidding! They make fantastic gifts because they are so multifaceted. Great for makeup, toiletries or just as storage cases.

BOBBI BROWN LIP TINT SET

One of the other gift sets that I stand behind. I love these lip tints, and pretty much anything Bobbi Brown. This is such a cute gift but also a practical one. These balm tints are great because they look good on everyone. They aren’t personal like lipsticks are in terms of color, consistency and weight. These are a simple balm tint that is great to throw in a purse or keep at a desk. I love this gift!
