Holiday Gift Guide For The Beauty Lover | Libier's Favorites
Thank you L’OREAL Paris for partnering with me on this post and TV segment!
Christmas time is here!!! And can you guess what my love language is? GIFTS!! I am a gift fanatic, friend. My heart rejoices at the thought of giving a gift to those I love and I also feel so incredibly loved when I receive a gift that tells me the person thought about who I am and they did their best at giving me something I would delight in.
If you’re loved one is interested in beauty, look no further! This blog post will have some AMAZING ideas for you to consider for your beauty-loving, lovie!!
Here are some ideas for someone who loves beauty. They are all in many different price points so I’ll break them down here for you so you’ll find it easy to pick which is within your budget!
L’OREAL has always been one of my favorite, affordable, beauty brands. If you’re a loyal reader you might remember my love for the Telescopic Mascara! Does anyone remember how many years I’ve used that?!? Yeah, I can’t either! I’m so happy to announce the Voluminous Mascara which has already been a #1 seller with a massive following; this November L’OREAL released a deep green shade subtle enough to be worn daily but enough to give you a pop of color for those Holiday looks!
More than anything, what I LOVE about this, $8.99 mascara, is the way it builds incredible volume and you don’t get clumps or crunchy lashes! Can I get a Hallelujah!? The formula is beautiful in that it keeps the lashes soft but gives intensity and volume to the lashes that can be built up with a few coats! I personally love to warm up my mascara before applying it so it goes on really smooth and I do that by placing the mascara in my bra- by my armpit (not IN my armpit but by it) while I do my entire face of makeup. You can judge me all you need to but if you try it, you will not go back to regular-cold-mascara-applications, EVER. My mama showed me this trick and I’m so grateful to her! Another tip is to wait for the mascara to dry in between coats!
I believe this is a great fit for a stocking stuffer and if you’re loved one loves beauty and mascara I know she will be a fan just as I have just become one of the Voluminous Original mascara in deep green!
Thank you L’Oreal for partnering with me on this post. I love you and I am honored to get to share your release to my tribe!
Under $15 | STOCKING STUFFERS
This Eau De Rose Perfumed Brooch is the epitome of elegance and cuteness. Your loved one will smell like roses with this adorable little birdie brooch. DIPTYQUE knocked it out of the park with this. Such a special gift.
This Marc Jacobs primer is great for anyone looking for a smooth finish to their foundation & longer-lasting makeup. I LOVE the way this little primer looks on my vanity! It’s the little things in life. Am I right?
UNDER $60 | THE MAKEUP FAVS
Under $70 | BODY CARE FAVS
I don’t know if your lovie is anything like me but it’s little luxuries I wouldn’t buy myself that mean a lot to me when I receive as a gift.
Sometimes when you’re trying to save money for something or you’re struggling to make ends meet. Or you’re focused on using your money in a different area of your life, a Bouyee candle will be the laaasssst thing on your shopping list. However, when someone gifts this little luxury to you it is so well received. I always tell people it’s not the amount of a gift or the size or the quantity of a gift that makes it special. It’s the intent behind and the joy of giving someone something they wouldn’t buy themselves. A candle from DIPTYQUE is always a great idea for a loved one that is into beauty, pretty little things and scents! They have all sorts of aromas to choose from but this CANNELLE one is so Christmasy and cinnamon-ey it’s delightful for this season!
UNDER $150 LITTLE LUXURY GOODIES
UNDER $100 SKINCARE
If I can just recommend ONE thing for your skincare regimen it would be the T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial™ from Drunk Elephant. It’s one of those weekly masks that I do with such excitement to see my skin reveal it’s best self! This 20-minute mask, In Drunk Elephant’s words is “A pro-quality AHA/NHA "facial" that resurfaces skin to reveal greater clarity, improved skin texture and tone, and a more youthful-looking appearance.” If I were stranded on an island, this would be the one mask I would bring with me! I love that Drunk Elephant has this little cargo set right now and it gives you the full size of the Babyfacial and little friends to try and have available for travel!
Below are more incredible masks I have tried and tested on my own face! And yes I do try everything to make sure I can recommend to you. One time I burned my face testing something, so you’re welcome! NOT with any of these products ovi! I wouldn’t recommend if I am not a true fan! So you know these below have the stamp of my approval. However, with all things, our skin reacts so differently to everything. But you know that I love you and would only recommend what I believe is the best I’ve tried! Thank you for your trust and know I’m definitely not perfect and will make mistakes along the way but I always hope to be honest and admit to my mistakes when I do make them!
Needless to say, If you’re loved one doesn’t know how to care for their skin yet and they are looking for good brands to try or they love skincare products in general; these kits below would make any beauty lover excited to open! You will introduce them to amazing skincare and they’ll be so grateful to you! I really believe these are amazing kits that would have any mask-loving-person on your list (even men) in maks heaven!
UNDER $120 | TIMELESS FRAGRANCES
These two fragrances are just as beautiful to look at as they are to smell. They both have such light and clean scents I love them both to pieces!
$400 + LUXURIOUS GIFT IDEAS
These two are EXPENSIVE!!!!!!!! SOOOOO worth it thought! I can speak on a personal level from the dryer only. The dryer is the most cutting edge tool I’ve ever used! It is lightweight so your arm isn’t falling off after your blow-out and the time of blowdrying is cut substantially. I have soooooooo much hair and this hair dryer has been a great blessing in my life.
So if you’re looking to buy your loved one a showstopping gift this Christmas this is it! She will LOVE her dyson supersonic hairdryer! I love that they’ve come out with a variety of colors and of course my favorite is the white one. It’s so chic!
I pray as you buy them a gift that you’d rejoice in the gift they are to your heart. The person you are giving a gift to must be so special to you that you’re thinking of them as you’re finding that amazing little something to light up their face on Christmas morning. Let me encourage you that you and your gift are enough. That the only perfect one is Jesus and he has given us the best gift of his life and has become poor so you and I will be rich! So whatever gift you choose for your love will be enough!
I pray that as you give your gift that there would be a special moment and you would feel the love of God as you have never before as you’re reminded of the precious gift God has given to us in Jesus Christ.
Merry Christmas from my hopeful heart to yours!
