2020 Holiday Beauty Gift Guide
Hi Beauties!
The holidays seem to be approaching much faster this year. The entire year has flown by just as fast. Let’s hope 2021 is a better year for everyone. I know this holiday season may be more difficult for some but I want to spread some cheer even if you’re browsing my site. I have compiled some of my favourite items to gift and receive. As usual, my guide includes makeup and skincare as well as stocking stuffers. Let’s get started! Items are not listed in any particular order.
Charlotte Tilbury’s Holiday Collection
Charlotte’s Magical gift shop has everything to fulfill your beauty wish list this holiday season. There is something for everyone, from cute tree trinkets to lip kits to the ultimate Tilbury fan’s Advent Calendar Chest of Beauty Treasures. All are beautifully packaged in limited-edition, golden boxes and collectible bejewelled cases. There are gifts from under $55 to over $100. I have swatches up of some lip products here and the eyeshadow quads review will be up soon.
Dior BACKSTAGE Glow Face Palette
Dior Backstage has created three new makeup palettes. Each palette features four luminous shades of highlighters that suit all skin tones. BACKSTAGE is a collection of makeup artist essentials, used at the Dior runway shows and inspired by the energy backstage. The limited-edition palettes retail for $55 CAD and $45 USD at Sephora. Review and swatches of the Pur Gold Palette can be viewed here.
Colourpop Hello Kitty and Friends Collection
Whether you’re shopping for a pre-teen or a collectible fan, this collection so cute. The full collection features Snow Much Fun, a 9-pan palette with 3 unique color stories to create your sweetest looks, a LUX Gloss Trio Kit with 3 new shades in our nourishing formula, a mini Glitterally Obsessed Kit with 4 sparkling shades, 2 new Pressed Powder Blush Compacts, and a Lip Care Kit featuring a yummy new scent! All ranging from $9 - $43 USD.
Skincare Gift sets
Skincare lines curate gifting sets from various lines or a combination of different lines. It’s a great way to sample a variety of products and stock up on favourites. They’re also perfect travel-friendly sets. I usually look forward to seeing the Fresh Beauty gift sets. Tatcha, Olehenriksen, Drunk Elephant, Biossance and Farmacy are some top recommended brands that have great sets for different skincare needs. For body care gifts, Bath & Body Works and The Body Shop are my favourite stores that have so many gift options.
Skincare Tools
As we all wish to preserve our youthful skin, you can never go wrong with some beauty tools. Especially now more than ever, we all need to practice self-love and these tools can help give that at-home spa feeling. I know some of these are definitely on my list.
Advent Calendars
Ok I know the whole point of an advent calendar is to countdown to the holidays with 24 special gifts. Do you actually open them one day at a time or all at once? I’m lowkey hoping I get one because they are so fun. The Sephora Wild Wishes Advent Calendar contains beauty, skincare and accessories. It features 15 full-size, nine mini, and all exclusive gifts waiting behind each door. NYX Cosmetics also has a 24 Day Holiday Countdown calendar with their iconic best-sellers in mini and full sizes.
Stocking Stuffers
Natasha Denona Mini Zendo Eyeshadow Palette
As part of Natasha Denona’s Holiday Collection, she released a mini 5 pan palette, the Mini Zendo Eyeshadow Palette. It is a “warm-toned palette that conceptualizes a mix of elements - an ambiance where wood meets metal & nature meets modern.” It includes three shimmery eyeshadows and two mattes. My review and swatches here.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
The Soft Pinch Liquid Blush comes in eight shades in matte and dewy finishes. The liquid blushes are said to be weightless and infused with long-lasting pigments for all-day wear. They are also made with the brand’s botanical blend of lotus, gardenia, and white water lily to help soothe, calm, and nourish the skin. I own shades Love and Happy which are reviewed here.
Maybelline Lifter Glosses
Maybelline’s next level lip gloss, Lifter Gloss, has beauty addicts raving. I’m so happy I got my hands on a few shades. The formula is amazing; it smooths the lips while making them appear fuller. They are formulated with hyaluronic acid to provide moisture. They are incredibly nourishing and comfortable to wear. See swatches here.
Wet n Wild Mega Last High-Shine Lip Color
A luscious high-shine lipstick infused with lip-loving ingredients including Murumuru Butter, Mango Butter, and Sunflower and Watermelon Seed Oils will nourish your lips and deliver moisture. The formula is long-wearing and has a creamy texture for easy application. I’m behind with swatches these but I will work on it soon.
Lip Treatments
In the winter we tend to switch up our skincare to accommodate for the dry temps but we can’t forget our lips. My lips get extremely dry this time of the year and I always have a lip treatment and scrub handy. Wet n Wild’s Perfect Pout Lip Treatment is great for daily use and Bite Beauty’s Agave+ Intensive Vegan Lip Mask is great for overnight use.
