Ladies Holiday Gift Guide 2015

November 5, 2015

Are you ready for the holiday season?  I don’t know about you, but I don’t ever feel ready for the holidays until they’re just a few days away.  Then I panic!  I’m a total procrastinator.  I get things done best when I’m feeling the pressure.  This year I’ve already been scoping out good holiday deals, both in stores and online.  I’ve picked out some beauty items and jewelry that I think will make great gifts for the ladies on your gift list.  Many of the beauty items are limited editions and are available in limited quantities.  The good ones sell out early.  So, if there’s something that you want to buy as a gift or for yourself, don’t wait too long.

Laura Mercier Matte to Metal Caviar Sticks – This set is high on my wish list.  For $58 you get 6 of the beautiful caviar sticks that can be used as a base or eye shadow.  The set has colors that can be used by everyone.  Again, this is a set that can be given to a single recipient or broken up for several people on your gift list.

Buxom Leave Your Mark Lip Set –  Not gonna lie, I already purchased 3 sets of these lip products from Buxom.  You get 15 lip polish and lip creams total in a festive box.  You can give the entire box to one person or break it up.  Examples would be to give a lip polish, candy cane and hot chocolate to 15 of your favorite friends, coworkers or neighbors.  The set is $59 at Sephora.

This palette is sure to please all makeup lovers.  It’s the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector palette that includes the Champagne Pop by Jaclyn Hill.  It’s a 5 star product.  I’ve only heard great reviews on this one and want it for myself!  $34 at Sephora

Sephora Ombre Face Palette – An innovative blush palette with four ombré shades, four single shades, and one universally flattering luminizer.  This set has colors that will work on everyone and is a sure pleaser.  It’s limited edition and available for $34 at Sephora.

Like every other female in the country, I love jewelry from Kendra Scott as well as Stella and Dot.  Both lines have so much to offer in the way of holiday gifts.  They both have a nice variety of price points for good quality jewelry.    I have several pieces from both lines and thought I’d make a few recommendations that would be sure to please.

Kendra Scott’s Elle Earrings are probably some of her most popular of all.  They’re available in at least 30 different colors and in several different metal colors.  I highly recommend these for teens to grandmas.  I have a few pairs and love wearing them.  The price varies ($55-$65) depending on the stone that you choose.

The Kendra Scott Phara Necklace is a stunner.  It’s pretty in both the gold and silver.  My daughter has this necklace and every time she wears it I remember that I want one for myself too.  It’s perfect for all ages.  This one retails for $120.

Here’s another item that I’ve already ordered for my gift giving this year.  It’s the Sparkle Stud Earrings that are from Stella and Dot.  They retail for only $19.  They’re a great alternative to wearing your real diamond studs on a daily basis.

The Stella & Dot Renegade Bracelet is a long time love of mine.  I consider it an oldie, but a goodie!  I love to pair it with so many different styles of jewelry.  It comes in 3 metal choices too!  I believe it’s $59 retail.

Tell me what’s on your holiday wish list.  I’d love to know!

    I am giving some thought to the Becca palette with the 20% off at Sephora, it’s fairly affordable. I bought a Becca Skin Perfector in Rose Gold and the shade is too dark for me so I’d love to see if the shades in the new palette are a better fit for me. The Sephora palette looks great too.

#ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT s #ad My morning skincare routine has gotten a LOT simpler over the years. I’m not looking for 10 different steps. Instead, I want products that are easy to use and easily fit into my everyday routines and @CeraVe has me covered.

Here’s what I’m reaching for lately:

• CeraVe Brightening Vitamin C Cleanser
• CeraVe Super Boost Serum with 3 Essential Ceramides — definitely my favorite step!
• CeraVe Brightening Even Tone Lotion for face + sensitive areas
• CeraVe Skin Renewing Brightening Lotion SPF 30 in the am for sun protection

As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned that a skincare routine I’ll actually stick with is so much better than a complicated routine that ends up sitting on my bathroom counter collecting dust.

If you’re looking for a simple morning skincare routine for mature skin, skincare for women over 50, brightening skincare, or an easy daily skincare routine, this is a great place to start, and you can pick them all up at @target or on target.com.

Do you keep your morning skincare simple, or are you a 10-step kind of girl?🤔

#ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favo #ad A little nighttime self-care is one of my favorite ways to unwind at the end of a busy day!
 
Looking after ourselves doesn’t have to be complicated… sometimes it’s just a few little beauty rituals that make us feel our best.
 
Tonight’s nighttime beauty routine featured a few finds from QVC…
 
• Tweezerman Facial Razor & Replacement Blades for a little at-home facial grooming. I like these for removing the peach fuzz so my makeup goes on smoother. Beware, these are sharp!
 
• Beekman 1802 Milk Rx Better Aging Compress Mask (came as part of a trio) to calm and soothe my skin after I did some exfoliating with the razor.
 
• Philosophy Fragrance 3-in-1 Shower Gel & Lotion for a relaxing bubble bath and a little everyday luxury. The Pure Grace scent is clean and refreshing.
 
I love finding beauty and skincare favorites that make my self-care routine feel special, especially when I can find them at a great price and I always feel like I can count on QVC for that.
 
Have you checked out the beauty deals and sales on QVC.com or in the QVC app lately? There are so many fun finds worth browsing! You never know what little beauty treat you might discover and with the holidays coming up, they have great gift options too.

When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up e When I found out Beekman 1802 was doing a pop-up experience at my local Ulta Beauty, I immediately added it to my calendar.

They did product demonstrations, skincare education, and mini facials, all focused on the Milk Rx line for better aging. They were handing out samples to attendees, so I brought some home to try.

Such a great experience — the kindest staff. Thank you, @beekman1802 💛🐐💛

Their lightweight pima cotton turtlenecks are one of my favorite Fall staples and I have a bunch of solids. So glad to see the animal prints this year.
