The makeup-wearing social butterfly will definitely appreciate this gorgeous woven clutch full of $161 worth of shimmering beauty products. (Note: Shimmer can accentuate fine lines and wrinkles so this gift is best for the under-40 crowd.) From a sample of Photo Finish Foundation Primer to a full-size Bionic Mascara, it's a totally-worth-it deal.
Young, hip and fashionable, Gwen Stefani's "Harajuku Lovers" fragrance line is great for the trend-conscious, particularly in the teen (or of-teen-state-of-mind) sector. G's yummy, floral scent appears to be the biggest hit in the line based on its glowing reviews.
The new take on Nars The Multiple (another great gift) comes in three shades, one of which is bound to go with the lovely recipient's skin tone. Long-lasting enough to be worth the price tag, the oil-free stick lends a believable sun-kissed glow to eyes, lips, cheeks or body. Great for ex-sun worshippers.
It's simple, it's pink and it blends perfectly with elegant decor ... ideal for die-hard romantics of all ages. Consider it for any beauty who happens to loves roses (this is made from seven different varieties!). If it's too strong to make a signature scent, it just might become a favorite room spray.
