Here are some popular items that people often include in their holiday shopping baskets:

1. Gifts for Loved Ones: Consider the interests, hobbies, and preferences of your family and friends. Personalized gifts, such as customized jewelry, engraved items, or photo albums, can be meaningful and special. Additionally, popular gift options include electronics, books, clothing, beauty products, and home decor items.
2. Holiday Decorations: Spruce up your home with festive decorations such as Christmas lights, ornaments, wreaths, and holiday-themed tableware. Adding a touch of holiday spirit to your surroundings can create a warm and joyful atmosphere.
3. Seasonal Treats: Fill your basket with delicious goodies and treats. Think of traditional holiday snacks like cookies, chocolates, nuts, and candies. You can also consider gourmet food baskets or specialty items like hot cocoa mix, flavored coffee, or unique holiday-themed snacks.
4. Electronics and Gadgets: Technology gifts are always popular. Look for the latest smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, gaming consoles, or audio devices. Consider the preferences and needs of the recipients to find the most suitable options.
5. Subscription Services: Subscription boxes or services have gained popularity in recent years. They offer a wide range of options, including beauty and grooming products, gourmet foods, books, clothing, and even pet supplies. Subscriptions can make for exciting and ongoing gifts that keep on giving throughout the year.
6. Wellness and Self-Care Products: Help your loved ones relax and take care of themselves by including items like scented candles, bath bombs, essential oils, skincare sets, or fitness accessories. These gifts promote well-being and self-care, which are especially important during the holiday season.

I think it's pretty but I really wish it had more depth.  The swatches that I've seen on IG as well as Jena's video just left me wanting a little more.

The only thing I bought was TOM FORD Gloss Luxe Lip Gloss 10 Love Lust because it was on sale.  I also ordered TOM FORD Gloss Luxe Lip Gloss 06 Ravish because it is also on sale and I really like the formula.

Between the F&F sale and the annual fall/winter sale that was 20% off for Rouge I'm kinda shopped out at this point with Christmas and everything 😅. So I only picked up one thing a MAKE UP FOR EVER Buffing Foundation Brush 112 . I'm having such a hard time with my base right now with my dry skin it's driving me nuts! If it's not streaky foundation it's dry patches or pilling of some sort or it just looks down right like pancake yuck! I have so many products to try and nail down a system that works it's not even funny. I guess it doesn't help that I've gone makeup free for about 85% of the time these last 3 years lol. Practice, practice, practice and get back up on that horse again. It's like I've forgotten all my tips and tricks - I'm sure long Covid isn't helping me

I feel like I could have written this post. I have so many foundations, primers and skin tints and I am always  trying to find the best combo for my dry skin that looks patchy after I put skin care and make up on. No matter what concealer I try and I have several, all I see is it settling in my lines under my eyes. I try different eye creams to hydrate under my eyes but it is not helping.

 I really like the sunny days tinted sunscreen from tower 28. It’s decent coverage and goes on really nicely. I also really like the make up for ever HD skin with their hydra primer. I also had good luck with the Lancôme Ultra wear foundation with La base primer. 

good luck!!
