This is the special someone who understands you better than anyone. Give her a big thank you with this limited edition 9-piece collection from Bare Escentuals, which includes two not-yet released items in the Bare Escentuals line (the Round the Clock waterproof eyeliner and the highly anticipated Pretty Amazing lip gloss). Diehard BE fans and new ones alike will be able to enjoy all the pieces in this Bare Escentuals holiday collection.
Kate Somerville says 'tis the season to be ageless with this holiday kit filled with her anti-aging favorites. It has everything you need to win the fight against time, including the Gentle Daily Wash, CytoCell Dermal Energizing Treatment, and CyctoCell Dark Circle Corrective Eye Cream. Of course, no Kate Somerville skin care kit is complete without her uber popular ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment.
These eyeshadows come in six shades and are a part of MAC's holiday collection, inspired by glitter-loving figure skater Johnny Weir. The mineralize eyeshadows produce soft but highly pigmented color with a frosty pearl sheen, which is perfect for a wintery look. And since the shadows are baked, they're great for wet or dry applications, making them very easy to incorporate into all your holiday makeup looks. The only headache here is deciding which of the six shades to give -- a happy dilemma when it comes to gift-giving.
The collection consists of a stunning red color for lips and nails, but the standout is definitely the Poudre Lumiere in Golden Hat, a shimmering highlighting powder that gives a subtle all-over glow for even the palest complexions. Plus, with this gorgeous new holiday collection by Lancome, you'll glow from the inside out: Lancome is donating 150,000 euros to the Golden Hat Foundation, a non-profit created by Kate Winslet to support children with autism.
You can recreate the results of Bliss Spa's Triple Oxygen Treatment (their No. 1 facial) at home with this holiday set. It includes Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Mask, Triple Oxygen+C Energizing Cream, and a pair of Triple Oxygen Instant Energizing Eye Masks, all of which work together to boost depleted oxygen levels in tired skin. Anybody who wants to combat sallow skin that results from dropping temperatures will appreciate this skin care wonder.
If this season is all about giving, let's just say we're more like Scrooge than Santa.
It's not that we're not generous. But with all the shiny new gizmos and the gorgeous holiday sets available, we'll be the first to admit that we're often tempted to keep the gifts for ourselves. C'mon, fess up: You kept that set of luxe hand creams instead of giving them to mom last year, didn't you?
To help you follow through on your intent to actually give the beauty gifts you buy to the ladies on your list, we bring you these newest, niftiest holiday items. Even better, we categorized them for all the people in your life -- from your scented-soap-loving grandma to your eyeshadow addict BFF.
So read on and get a jump on that holiday shopping. And you know what? Go ahead and snap up two of what you love most and enjoy every second of saying, "happy holidays to me, from me."
