Beauty Queen

I am a beauty junkie so it is no wonder one of my favorite gifts is cosmetics.

In fact, one of my favorite holiday pastimes is the gift set.  You get more value for a lower price than if you were to buy each piece individually.  In most cases, the holidays are the only time these gift sets are available so they are a worthwhile purchase for you...and anyone on your list.


Here are some of my favorite beauty items available this holiday season:

Beauty Queen


  1. OPI Lincoln Park After Dark Nail Polish $8  Every woman should own this so-purple-it's-black shade.  Perfect for layering under glitter.  Available at Ulta.
  2. Marc Jacobs Rollerball Trio $38  This tin contains 3 different fragrances that are universally-appealing...especially Daisy.  Perfect for travel.
  3. MAC Cosmetics Dazzlesphere Ornament $32.50  How enticing is a limited edition fourth mini not pictured?  They sure have my number!
  4. Freeman Mint & Lemon Clay Facial Mask $3.99  These masks are an incredible value.  I think they work as well as some of their more expensive counterparts.  Awesome stocking stuffer.
  5. OPI The Muppets "Finger Muppets" Minis $7  You will probably have to order online but contains minis of hugely popular "Designer De Better" and "Warm & Fozzie."
  6. Laura Mercier Mini Kohl Pencil Set $32  Laura Mercier makes two of my favorite eye pencils of all time: Antique Jade and Brown Copper. Both in this set.
  7. Laura Mercier Tarte au Citron Duo $45  I am obsessed with this scent.  A returning favorite.  The super-whipped Body Souflee is heavenly.
  8. Deluxe Fragrance Sampler For Her $50  A collection of fragrance samples with a voucher included to redeem for a full-size fragrance.  The gift to get someone you don't know what to get.
  9. GlamGlow Mud Mask $69  Not cheap but pretty much the hottest thing in beauty right now.
  10. Fresh Brown Sugar Affair Set $50  The best value on the list.  All three products are homeruns and hugely popular.  The body scrub is one of my favorite products.
