Here are our three top beauty products to buy in each category.
Skincare
Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Oil – Youth To The People : I love this facial oil for day and night. It also preps your skin for makeup, so no need to wear a primer.
Dewy: The Polypeptide Kit – Drunk Elephant: Drunk Elephant has been our favorite for a long time! Both of use several of their products and this is a great way to try a variety of them.
Mario Badescu Drying Lotion: If you find your skin in a bit of a mess, try this drying lotion. It’s great for clearing up those random (and very irritating) pimples!
Hair Products
Holiday Hair Fix Kit – Olaplex: I’m sure you’ve heard all about Olaplex. We’ve done blog posts about it in the past. It’s one of those hair products that you have to be patient with, but then all of a sudden you’re like, wow…that really works. This is a great try me kit.
Blond Absolu Anti-Brass Purple Mask – Kérastase: Expensive, yes. Works, yes. I have tried half a dozen brass busting purple shampoos and conditioners. This one is my favorite. It does not dry your hair out, in fact, the opposite. It’s very moisturizing and you can see the difference. I really want to leave it on for a longer time just to see what it does, but it works so well, I guess I don’t need to!
Clean, in an instant Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo Set – Living Proof: I really don’t need to say much about this product. It’s been the best selling dry shampoo for everyone forever.
Makeup
Goldie Luxe Lash and Brow Serum Set – Grande Cosmetics: If you are looking for a good priced brow or lash serum that doesn’t irritate your eyes, this is it. Get holiday ready by starting now since it takes a few weeks to work.
Bite Beauty Power Move Creamy Matte Lip Crayon: My favorite lipstick of all time. It’s moisturizing and it lasts. I love the colors!
Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner: I have had this gel eyeliner for almost a year and it hasn’t dried out, which is not what I can say for other “pot products” I’ve had. It goes really smooth and has staying power. I like it better than a pencil.
Beauty Tools
The Original MakeUp Eraser® Makeup Remover Cloth: I got one of these in a subscription box. I’m not a big washcloth user, but I thought I’d give these a try. I really like them and I’ve learned if I have multiple ones, I don’t have to do laundry every day. 🙂
Eyelash Curler – Shiseido: High reviews and great product. I bought this during the spring savings event.
Scalp Revival™ Stimulating Therapy Massager – Briogeo: I love a scalp massager in the shower. It feels great on the hair. Massage your shampoo in and it reduces build up as well as opens up follicles.
Stocking Stuffers + Gift ideas
Tough As Nails Deluxe Manicure & Pedicure Kit: Everyone needs this. Why is it that this is one of the most misplaced items in my house?
Hair Holy Grails – Sephora Favorites: Awesome products in this kit. You can break them up and use them for stocking stuffers and “gift extras.”
Carnaval Flight Set – Sol de Janeiro: Another all time favorite. I can’t get enough of this scent. Every time I wear it, I get asked what it is!
