J-17 until Christmas! In other words, it's seriously time to get your Christmas presents sorted. I personally love to walk around enjoying the Christmas lights and decorations but I am not into the Christmas crowd-batting. Last year, I did most of my Christmas shopping online and then spent time to pack everything nicely. As I was browsing online, I thought I would share with you my favourite beauty gifts for HER.
THE HIGH-END MAKEUP ADDICT
NARS Virtual Domination Cheek Palette, £45.00
As you probably know by now, I am huge fan of NARS. The quality of their products is amazing and their packaging always stunning. This year, for Christmas, NARS released the Virtual Domination Cheek Palette. It includes a full size Laguna Bronzing Powder and 4 blushes (a limited Edition Final Cut Blush, Miss Liberty Highlighting Blush, a Limited Edition Sex Fantasy Blush and Deep Throat Blush). You can't go wrong with this palette as the shades are all very wearable and beautiful.
THE SKINCARE LOVER
Clarisonic Mia 2 Cleansing System, £120
I made a full review of the Clarisonic Mia 2 here, so I won't go into too much details in this post. The Clarisonic Mia 2 is basically a fancy toothbrush for your face. It provides a deep cleanse, makes the skin very smooth and allows your skincare to be absorbed better. It comes with a travel case, a charger, a brush head and a mini face cleanser. It's a beautiful gift for any skincare lover, ideal for your beloved mother.
THE ONE WHO DON'T WEAR MAKEUP
Dior Addict Lip Glow, £23.50
All girls don't like makeup but everyone likes a bit of luxury and pampering right? Dior does it just right with this lip balm. It hydrates the lips and enhance the natural lip colour. The colour will be unique as it reacts to the skin Ph level. Plus, the packaging is gorgeous. This could work pretty much for every one from your sister to your girlfriend, wife, mother, you name it.
THE SOPHISTICATED WORKING GIRL
bareMinerals the Magic Act Collection Palette, £30.80
Last year I was lucky enough to receive a bareMinerals Perfect Ten palette (which was limited edition for Christmas). In my review (here), I told you to keep your eyes open in case bareMinerals releases another palette this year and they did. It's called the Magic Act Collection Palette and it contains 6 eyeshadows and 4 blushes which all come in the most gorgeous chic and wearable shades. The packaging is really cute and the quality of bareMinerals eyeshadow is amongst my favourites. If you're looking for the perfect gift for a business girl who likes to keep it simple yet sophisticated, this gift is the one.
THE MANICURE ADDICT
OPI Nail Laquer Trend on Tend Mini Pack, £29.95
OPI is one of the best brands when it comes to nail polishes: beautiful colours, great formula and outstanding quality. This pack contains 10 beautiful shades in mini bottles. All of them are wearable and there is something for everyone: a bit of glitter, a bit of shimmer, a bit of nude, pink and coral as well as various feminine reds. I am sure every mani-ac wants to add this to her stash.
THE EVERY GIRL
Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara Gift Set, £22.50
I don't count the number of Hypnôse mascara tubes I have been through. It's one of the best. Most girls wear mascara and you can't go wrong with this one: it gives lots of volume and definition. If you don't know what gift to chose, go for this pack: it contains one of Lancôme's most emblematic mascara, a mini black khôl and some makeup remover.
LIGHT & CLASSIC SCENT FOR HER
Burberry - My Bruberry Eau de Parfum, £55.25 (50ml)
A perfume is always a great gift. I love Burberry perfumes in general as they feel luxurious and classic. This year, Burberry released their new fragrance "My Burberry" which is really fresh, floral and feminine. It was inspired by the iconic trench coat and a London garden after the rain. I got a little sample of this and loved it.
SWEET & SENSUAL FRAGRANCE FOR HER
Yves Saint Laurent - Black Opium Eau de Parfum, £62 (50ml)
This is the kind of scent I totally fall for (in fact, it's on my own wishlist). It's feminine, quite sweet and very sensual. Black Opium is definitely stronger than My Burberry. It contains notes of Coffee, Vanilla and white florals.
EYESHADOW PALETTE LOVER
Urban Decay Palette Naked 2 and Naked 3, £37.00 each
Aka the perfect gift for any beauty lover. I reviewed the Naked 2 here and the Naked 3 here. The eyeshadows are beautifully pigmented and the buttery soft texture is amazing. If the girl is more into romantic makeup (pink toned) pick the Naked 3, if the girl is more into smokey eyes, then pick the Naked 2.
I had a lot of fun picking my favourites and putting up together this Glam O'Clock Christmas gift guide for HER . Hopefully, it will help you or give you some ideas.
