Re: Holiday Gift Survey!

  1. Top 3 products (<$10)
    - Rosebud: lip balms (Stocking stuffers + get free shipping basically scented/oiled vase line but cute enough to use as gifts)
    - l'occitane: hand cream 
    - Sephora: brand makeup wipes

  2. Top 3 products (<$25)
    - First Aid: face cream
    - Anastasia Pomade: inexpensive last long
    - Laneige: Lip sleep mask (received as a gift :D)  

  3. Value Sets?
    - Any Ole Henriksen sets from boxing day. Usually its close to a full size cream + wipes for a really good price ($20CAD ish)?
    - Sephora value sets (usually good price)
    - Pat McGrath lip trio ($32CAD!!!)

  4. Splurge on loved ones
    - Things they have been eyeing and I can afford 
    - Makeup palette (most likely an urban decay or too faced)
    - Perfume 
    - Things they otherwise wouldn't splurge on themselves 
    (ex. of past gifts, Makeup brushes, clarisonic etc)

  5. Unknown recipient (generic things)
    - Sephora brand makeup wipes ($10CAD each)
    - l'occitane hand cream (I buy in value sets and use as stocking stuffers)
    - Nail polish

  6. Non-Makeup
    - Clara-sonic: (Bought a few years ago, use it for random periods)
    - Vera Wang: Princess perfume

  7. TREAT YOURSELF!
    No clue, I only buy things I feel I need.
    Jo Malone London Perfume? Haven't bought any from them and its $200+ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ
    Probably will never buy :'[

Re: Holiday Gift Survey!

I know that glam glow has some great value sets of face masks and has a watermelon mask with a mini moisturizer as well-- also milk makeup has some cute mini products such as the cooling water and serum stick teenage girls would enjoy. As for mascara-- Two Faced better than sex is my absolute favorite, along with Benefit's They're Real. The Sephora Collection is a great affordable option too- they have great sheet masks and clay masks, along with lip balms, moisturizers, makeup remover wipes and packs of items that would make as great gifts!

Lastly, I know some people may think 20 dollars is a lot of money for a beauty blender, but the original beauty blender works wonders! There are tons of different colors, and if you damp It with water it performs even better!

Re: Holiday Gift Survey!

it is a bit early but i need to start thinking about christmas gifts. 

1. I'm getting into eyeshadow lately so i think the sephora eyeshadow singles are really nice.

RE: Holiday Gift Survey!

Re: Holiday Gift Survey!

Products under $10: Sephora Lipstories lipstick (labyrinth city is my favorite), sephora face powders blush (specifically the shade "flirt it up"), and Too Faced melted latex (it's usually on sale for 10 dollars)

 

Products under $25: Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, Becca highlighters (minis), Tarte Tarteist matte lip paint

 

Value sets: Honestly, any of the lip value sets are my favorite. Lipstick is a MUST for me so I love being able to get lots of colors and formulas for the price of just a couple. Especially because I almost never go through a full size lip product.

 

3 Splurge products: Anything that they would specifically want if I had the money! ๐Ÿ™‚

 

3 products to someone I don't know well: Sephora Lipstories Lipstick (both inexpensive and beautiful!), Mini Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, Any good mascara (probably Too Faced or Tarte)

 

3 Non-Makeup: I like the facial moisturizers from First Aid Beauty, YSL Black Opium perfume, and do makeup brushes count? Because honestly I love all the brushes at Sephora!

 

3 Gifts for newbie: Sephora Lipstories Lipstick (I know this is repetitive but I love it so much!), Anastasia Brow Whiz, Too Faced Sweet Peach palette (an oldie but a goodie!)

 

3 Products for the beauty obsessed: Perfume sampler (they can't possibly own all the perfumes and then they can choose their favorite!), New unique brushes (there's a lot from Tarte like their mermaid brushes), and something they always seem to run out of (depends on the person).

 

Treat yourself: Honestly, I would get so much! Tarte shape tape concealer, Laura Mercier powder, Too Faced Hangover setting spray, Nars Orgasm blush, Too Faced chocolate bronzer, Becca highlighters, Tom Ford lipstick, Anastasia lip gloss, benefit brow products, so many different mascaras, and every eyeshadow palette I could afford!

RE: Holiday Gift Survey!

For anyone you know with curly hair- the Moroccan oil curl cream ($13) is the BEST. Not necessarily as a curl cream, but the smell is amazing and literally lasts ALL day- better than perfume in my opinion. Iโ€™ve had mine for more almost a year, mostly because I donโ€™t use it all the time but also I only need a really small amount for my hair to smell amazing all day and night!
