Finding beauty gifts for someone who already knows a lot about makeup & skincare can be difficult. This roundup of products I am calling the ‘It Girl’ gift guide. It’s for the beauty junkie who has it all, for the person who knows their ingredients & brands, the Vogue reader with too many Boots points.
Aquis Hair Lisse Luxe Hair Towel
Giving beauty tools as gifts is always great because they can last years. I would highly recommend the Aquis Hair Lisse Luxe Hair Towel for those with long hair; the towel dries hair faster than traditional towels, with less friction and minimizes frizz & damage.
Lipstick Queen Secret Garden Trio
Gifting lipstick at Christmas is a classic, but put a spin on the expected for any beauty lover by picking a brand such as Lipstick Queen. The Lipstick Queen Secret Garden Trio includes deluxe sample sizes of the Saint & Sinner Lipsticks in ‘Mauve’, as well as a matching Lip Liner.
If you are going to buy skincare for a self-confessed beauty lover then a brand such as Bioderma is a good bet, as you can guarantee quality & fairly universal products. The Bioderma Beauty Essentials includes full sized products; the Atoderm Ultra-Gentle Shower Gel, the Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water, a cotton pad pouch & the Hydrabio Crème Rich Moisturising Care.
The ultimate dressing table accessory, the Balmain Texture Comb is chic, luxurious & makes the perfect stocking filler.
Dr Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel
A great way to try the Dr Dennis Gross Skincare Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel is to grab one of these 5 packs as a stocking filler. If you’re buying for someone who already has an extensive skincare routine this this little gift would be a brilliant add on to their current weekly pamper.
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Make-up Sponge with Travel Case
The Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge is one of my favourite makeup tools out there. This pack even comes with a travel case to protect the sponge in your makeup bag; the perfect stocking filler.
Toni & Guy Curl Squad Reverse Wand
We’ve all seen a curling wand, but the Toni & Guy Curl Squad Reverse Wand turns everything you know about curling hair on it’s head. The perfect tool for those looking for beachy waves. You can see my full review of this wand HERE.
Morphe 35O Nature Glow Eyeshadow Palette
Buying makeup for someone who already owns a lot of beauty products can be difficult, but the Morphe palettes are always a great bet. You can create any look with this palette from natural to super smokey.
Paul & Joe Lip Treatment Balm and the Paul & Joe Moisturizing Hand Cream Christmas Stollen
The Paul & Joe Christmas offering is beautiful this year. If you’re on the hunt for products with incredible textures & oh so cute packaging then look no further than this collection.
Any beauty lover worth their salt will know the Caudalie Beauty Elixir is a product worth gifting this Christmas. This soothing mist is the perfect relaxing gift for anyone over the holidays. Read THIS post for more info on this product.
Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre Nourishing Moisturiser
The Embryolisse Lait Creme Concentre Nourishing Moisturiser is a cult product for a reason! Giving skin a big drink of hydration, it’s a little tube of goodness for any skincare lover.
MAC Shiny Pretty Things Party Favours Mini Glitter & Pigments
MAC’s Christmas collection this year is beautiful. They don’t always hit the mark with their holiday collections, but the Shiny Pretty Things collection is outstanding. My top pick from the collection would be the Mini Glitter & Pigmentsgift set.
Perricone MD No Makeup Lipstick Christmas Cracker
No-makeup-makeup is one of the biggest trends in the beauty world right now & one brand that always hits the nail on the head with this Instagram-worthy look is Perricone MD.
BeGlow TIA: All-In-One Sonic Skin Care System
There are a lot of different beauty tools out there for cleansing, toning & really transforming the skin at home. One of my absolute favourites is the BeGlow TIA: All-In-One Sonic Skin Care System, for a little less obvious gift for any beauty fanatic.
Nuxe Le Matin & Le Soir des Possibles
Giving perfumes as a gift at Christmas is always a no-brainer, but finding a more unusual fragrance gift can be hard. I would suggest checking out the Nuxe Le Matin & Le Soir des Possibles fragrances. I have a full review of them HERE.
Please me know in the comments below if you’ll be picking up any of my suggestions to go under the tree!
