Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

It’s here, it’s here, the greatest time of year! Which can also be the most stressful. Why? Because gifting is hard! Don’t know what to get for your in-laws, your co-workers, what to snag for a white elephant party? Look no further!

 

This community is full of advice, expertise and a sincere passion for beauty so we polled our members to create these recommendations for everyone on your list. Big thank you to everyone who participated in the gifting survey, we’re excited to share the results! We hope these lists help you reach out and gift!

 

We all have that friend who is hard to shop for because they seem to have everything already. Luckily many community members fall into that category so here are their top recommendations for beauty lovers who already own all the basics.The beauty lover who has everything.JPG

 

 

 

  1. Sephora Gift Card: This is pretty self-explanatory, you cannot go wrong with gifting if you let them choose!
  2. Hourglass Ambient Metallic Strobe Lighting Palette: The formula is incredible and the luxe, metallic packaging will stand out in even the most impressive beauty collection.
  3. Sephora Favorites Kits: These travel-friendly value sets are offered in hair, makeup and fragrance varieties. 
  4. Guerlain Météorites: These pearls make for a flawless complexion on any skintone.
  5. Tom Ford Lipsticks: You can’t go wrong with the full-sized Lip Colors and clutch-sized Boys & Girls collection.

WnW Quick Dry is classic and works great.

RE: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

I can't find the hourglass ambient lighting edit palette on here. Could someone help? I need it

RE: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

You might still want to check your local store it could still be there!

Re: RE: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

Hi, @sarah9111111. It looks like the product is sold out and has been removed from the website. That usually means it will not be restocked online again. Have you tried calling your local Sephora to see if they have it? If not then I would suggest doing so. Another option would be Nordstrom. The palette is sold out online there too, but if you live-chat with their CS, they can see if any stores still have it in stock. If they do, you can have the palette shipped to you. Best of luck!

Re: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

Does anyone have any good 10 dollar and under products? Either drugstore or high-end I don't mind. 

Wet and wild has the greatest highlighters ever and so I...

Wet and wild has the greatest highlighters ever and so I recommend them and rimmel has a nice BB cream that has a dewy finish but not dewy as oily, but soft. I highly recommend those two.

RE: Re: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

You should try colourpop they're incredibly inexpensive and great quality

Re: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

Hi @LippiePrincess. I was just doing this. If you go to the search bar for the Sephora site (not the community) and type in $10, you will get a ton of suggestions in that neighborhood. One of my favorites is Sephora's crystal nail file. It comes in a couple of colors and it has its own handy case so it doesn't break. I LOVE these things! They work great and they're super gentle. I have them stashed everywhere in my house (and purse, and office). It's a great little stocking stuffer gift!

RE: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

These are all such fantastic products, it’s great to see them in one spot for ideas! Thanks @KatieBT!

RE: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

I guess I’m young at heart because I’d personally be happy with anything from the “youths” suggestions!

Me too!

Re: RE: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

@bellinasf maybe we should edit that section to say trendsetters 😉

 

I would say that's my favorite section but the "Treat Yourself" recommendations really pull at my heartstrings... I am determined to get a Dyson one day!

Re: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

Happy Monday all!

 

I added a section called "Honorable Mentions" for products that the community likes but didn't make the list. If you have any recommendations for gifts please let me know in the comments! If you see a recommendation you agree with be sure to leave a comment letting us know. This list is truly sourced from YOUR favorites!

 

Hope everyone is having a great start to their week!

Re: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

Thanks Katie ... going to use the list for "the Youths" for my nieces!   

Re: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

@MayaWM I'm glad it helps! All the Fenty and ColourPop 😄

Re: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

The list for acquaintances is definitely going to help me later since I plan on getting my professor a gift. 😄

Re: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

Thanks for posting this list, @KatieBT!  I'm sure it wasn't easy consolidating all our recommendations!  There are some awesome gift ideas here! ❤️

Re: Community Chosen: Holiday Gift Lists

@KatieBT  I would love to add another really good $25 Gift Set: Huda Beauty Contour & Lip Strobe!
