Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

This one is a bit tricky, hopefully I would know their skin types and concerns. But I think it'd be a good bet to gift SEPHORA COLLECTION Holy Sheet Mask Set unless of course they don't like sheet masks. 

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

โ€œunless of course they donโ€™t like sheet masksโ€ What @Samtian?!! ๐Ÿ˜ณ lol, completely get that sheet masks are not for everyone for a host of reasons. But good thing I was sitting when I read that. ๐Ÿ˜ 

 

This has a good sampling of the different lines of the Sephora Collection sheet masks and would be a nice set to introduce someone to sheet masks in general or the SC masks in particular. 

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

@itsfi - Please sit down...You and I had a discussion about this last year.  I'm one of those people--or maybe I'm the only one--who doesn't like sheet masks.

 

- I feel like I'm suffocating.

- Many of the ingredients are off-putting. 

- They feel slimey.

- I have to leave it on for how long?!?

 

After talking to you, I occasionally look at Sephora, Ulta, and TJ Maxx, but just haven't found "the one." ๐Ÿ˜ท

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

@Titian06 @sprocketta doesn't like them either. 

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

@Samtian I totally agree with the sheet mask set.  Great value

Omg... @itsfi .... WHAT A LIST!!! and omg x2, I actually purchased the Biossance Vitamin C Brightening Trio Set yesterday ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ AND the Biossance Glow Forth Hydrating Set... did I need both? Does ANYONE need both? ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

Love this breakdown into price categories @itsfi - I might end up shopping your recs ๐Ÿฅฐ LANEIGE Heavenly Hydration Set would make a great gift for a teen! 

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

The Laneige set is a great intro to the brand @GeorginaBT. I really like the LANEIGE Cream Skin Refillable Toner & Moisturizer with Ceramides and Peptides โฃ๏ธ And, of course it includes the Laneige lip sleeping mask, which could mean the start of a collection for a teen, or anyone for that matter, of the different flavors. ๐Ÿ˜ 

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

Always appreciate your breakdowns @itsfi 

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

Thank you @danielledanielle! ๐ŸŽ I have some relatives and coworkers for whom I need to be extra mindful of how much is spent on each person so if theyโ€™re not all getting the same kind of gift, I have to think through price points a bit more. 

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

I have a family member whose birthday falls around the holiday period, and she loves SK-II Brightening Serum Facial Treatment Sheet Masks 10 masks / pack! These are definitely luxe (and I haven't actually tried them myself!) but I'm happy to treat her to them every year. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

These are such a luxe treat @GeorginaBT! Very generous of you to gift them to your family member. I feel like you're due for a treat for yourself of this mask. I think there's also set out with a single sheet mask and some other SK-II beauties. 

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

I give my mom Kiehl's Since 1851 Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter 12 oz/ 340 g (or some version of the creme de corps line) for Christmas every year. She loves it!

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

"milk and honey whipped body butter" - that just sounds decadently nourishing @CarolBT

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

If my budget was unlimited I would choose Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Light It Up FaceWare Pro LED Device Kit @TeamBIC .

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

This really is such a great set @Loretta55! Love how they updated the mask with different color options. This pink one looks so fun!

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

Re: Holiday Gifting Challenge 2023: Tag gifts for skincare enthusiasts! ๐ŸŽ

For the skincare enthusiast, maybe the Tatcha Smoothing + Firming Skincare Holiday Value Set .
