It's finally here - the Christmas season. I've been waiting all year to break out my Christmas tree and snowmen and the hundreds of nativity scenes, even though my family is not, and probably never will be, very religious. It also means many holiday deals at your favorite beauty stores, and lots of sales. If you're shopping for your wife, girlfriend, sister, yourself, or anyone who loves makeup and beauty as much as I do, then take a look at these products!
1. tarte Tartelette in Bloom Clay Eyeshadow Palette
This palette is perfect for everyday looks, going-out, and everything in between. tarte has great formulas in their eyeshadows. They're very creamy and buttery, with very little fallout and kickback. The range of shades is also very good for every skin tone.
2. Jouer Long-Wear Lip Topper
You all know how much I love my liquid lipsticks from Jouer. This product is a bit different. After you've already applied your lipstick, you can put this overtop for a blinding glow on your lips. This tiny tube has the power to completely transform a lipstick from gorgeous to glamazon. There are three shades, each gorgeous and perfect for any look.
3. Sephora Collection Set of Five Mini Sponges
Beauty sponges are a great tool for setting your face, and this set has every shape you could possibly want. Each sponge has a separate purpose, and can be easily washed and reused. This set is only $12, so it is a great deal for what you're getting. You could even divide up the set and use them as stocking stuffers!
4. Morphe Brushes Gilded Collection
Morphe just released this collection on Black Friday, and the brushes are amazing. They're great quality, super soft to the touch, and a great price. And come on. They're gold.
5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette
This palette has been out for a while, but is perfect for every season. The color range is perfect for every look and every skin tone. ABH shadows are great quality and will give great coverage with amazing pigment. I was honestly a little shook when I swatched the red shades.
6. Urban Decay All-Nighter Foundation
This foundation is everything. It's very pigmented; you only need one pump of product to cover your entire face. The formula is very smooth on the skin and blends beautifully into an airbrushed finish. This foundation is great for winter when you want a little more coverage.
7. Urban Decay Naked Ultimate Basics
I know I've talked about this palette in another article, but that just shows how truly awesome it is. You can create so many looks with this palette, from smokey eyes to everyday natural looks. I've recently been using this one as an everyday palette, and it is stunning. I know $55 is a lot for a palette, but you are getting great quality. Your loved one will absolutely love this gift!
8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Foundation
Stick foundations are absolutely great for winter. They give a great full coverage, but don't look cake-y on the face. I personally love the Anastasia one. It has great pigment and great coverage but won't break your bank. You get .32 oz for $25, which is a pretty good deal compared to other stick foundations (the Hourglass one has way less product for way more money - not good).
9. Too Faced Merry Kissmas Set
I love liquid lipsticks, and the Too Faced ones are great. This set is perfect for someone who loves their lipsticks. It comes with four shades: three shimmers and one matte. The colors are beautiful, and will last all day on your lips. You can achieve that perfect nude look, or a bold red lip.
