Tis’ the season! We all have that friend who never steps out of the house without a completely beat face. Or the girlfriend who has an answer for every skincare issue, or the makeup lover who has all the latest palettes. Well, we have cherry picked the best ‘to give’ gifts for these women in your life. So even if you aren’t in the beauty know (but want to get into it) or want to make a great impression this holiday season, then check out our gift guide.
BLACK RADIANCE BOLD AND SEXY PALETTE
The Black Radiance Bold And Sexy Palette ($19.99,
amazon.com) is limited edition and comes with 12 eye shadow shades that are matte, glitter, and pearl finishes so there is something for everyone. It also has blush, highlight and contour shades and is a perfect must have to your beauty routine. This palette stays in my desk drawer so I can either put on a face or add to it before it’s time to take my 9A-5P to after 5P.
BLACK OPAL BEAUTY TRUE COLOR SKIN PERFECTING STICK FOUNDATION WITH SPF 15
The Black Opal Beauty True Color Skin Perfecting Stick Foundation ($9.95,
blackopalbeauty.com) is a longtime secret in the industry and is a drugstore brand that can give you great coverage and a smooth finish without breaking the bank. I love to also buy a deeper shade and use it to contour.

How could one not be impressed by online entrepreneur and beauty guru Supa Cent? The Crayon Case is a fantastic product her eyeshadows are known for their pigment. I love the Watch Me Blush palette ($18.00,

7th Heaven Masks are affordable and effective. I personally love to travel with these face masks. For the makeup girl who loves glitter, this Glitter Peel Off Mask ($4.99,
claires.com). This would make a great stocking stuffer gift for a teen or buy several and wrap nicely for the person in your life who loves (or needs) a little relaxation.
CANVAS COLORS MATTE LIPSTICK IN EX’S AND OH’S
This vegan friendly beauty brand bridges the gap between beauty and wellness. The birth of the brand was conceived when founder Ashley Lee was diagnosed with endometriosis and was seeking out natural remedies in her everyday life to help alleviate some of the symptoms in her diagnose. #TeamBeautiful loves this growing lipstick brand and we’re a big fan of the burgundy red Ex’s and Oh’s ($20.00,
canvascolors.co) which has a cool brown undertone.
FRANK BODY CINNA BUNS SCRUB
Frank Body is a brand that started out of a coffee shop. The Australian made products are non-toxic, using only naturally derived ingredients that are cruelty free. Their coffee scrubs will change your skin and they have a new Cinna Buns Scrub ($18.95,
