For Your Glitter-Crazed Niece
MAC Glitter & Ice Mineralize Eye Shadows, $21

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.

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.

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."
