2009 Holiday Gift Guide.

Have you been shopping like a crazy person since Friday? I made quite a few shopping trips over the weekend and have a nice head start into my holiday shopping. Some of the deals were simply too good to pass up. How about those special deals that are going on now? WOW!

In amongst all of my shopping, I completed my annual Holiday Gift Guide. This guide features the best beauty picks to give - or get - this year. I have selected over 50 of my favorite beauty gifts this year, and I hope you take a few minutes to check it out. I tell you the best features about the product, how much it costs and where to purchase.

 

 

Here is a rundown of the categories and a few goodies from each:

Gifts of Makeup
This category features some great makeup from Smashbox, as I am loving their WISH For The Perfect Pout and I have featured my favorite gold powder this year, from Clarins.

Gift Sets
From a great lipgloss set from Clinique to a holiday set from Philosophy, you will be sure to find something you  like here.

Bath & Body Gifts
Some of the most popular gifts come from Bath & Body Works, in which I feature a beauty, and I also feature a few goodies from me! Bath and Mistral Soaps.

Gifts of Luxury
If you have the change to spar, you must splurge on the Prada candle or the Bobbi Brown Neiman Marcus trunk. Other not so expensive luxuries are featured too.

Stocking Stuffers
From lip balms and gloss to nail polish, some of my favorites are featured. Including a great hand treatment from Kiehl's, a winter theme lip balm from C.O. Bigelow and a fun gloss from Purple Lab.

Fragrance Gifts
Another popular category, this category features some great picks for fragrance in which you cannot go wrong. From a popular Lancome best seller to my daughters favorites Harajuku Lovers, there is a fragrance here sure to delight all.

For the Makeup Loving Mom!

When I give my Mother-in-Law gifts sets of Makeup, her daughters fight her for every single item. "You won't use that, Mom", or "That color is not you!" is what I hear from them arguing for at least an hour after she opens it. It is so cute, and she always wins, keeping it all. I never fail when it comes to giving her makeup, and  if your Mom loves makeup, you won't go wrong with any of these picks.
