What does the world's best host need after a long day on her feet? A nice, relaxing tub of honey goodness ... assuming she has a tub in which to soak. No tub? L'Occitane Honey & Lemon Sweet Sugar Scrub is the next best thing for pre-bedtime showers.
This is one of those can't-go-wrong, "Wow, I never would have bought this for myself but I'm so glad someone got it for me!" items. It's inexpensive and easy to use (no bathtub or volunteer "masseur" needed), making it perfect for those who just can't seem to unwind.
Both pros and novices will find something to appreciate about this strong-hold, "miracle" hair product. Users rave about its ability to speed up the arduous process of making straight hair wavy and discipline stubborn cowlicks. Pair it with Redken Satinwear 02 Ultimate Blow-Dry Lotion for ultimate style control.
Quality brushes and applicators are always a good investment. If you can't afford a whole brush kit, get one or two highly rated brushes for the most crucial parts of her makeup routine, or spring for this multipurpose, reusable sponge -- a hit among makeup artists.
We can't all afford a T3 blow-dryer. But we don't have to. This dryer is just as fast, reasonably priced and well-liked for bells and whistles that cater to many hair types. (And yes, they even remembered the cool shot button.)
In times like these, a good beauty investment goes a long way ... and is much appreciated by friends and family. Enter our editors' guide to fun yet practical (read: affordable) gifts worth a bit of your hard-earned paycheck.
