okay guys we're powering through all of
these gift guides I hope that they're
really helpful it's been fun to put
together I love to also just kind of put
all of my thoughts together on my blog
post and then kind of like just talk
about them here and just highlight a few
of the pieces that I really am excited
just to share with you guys so today I
wanted to discuss beauty items of course
whoever's receiving these they might
have certain sensitivities and whatnot
so just be mindful of that but I think
that everything that I have here is
things that I think anyone would enjoy
and I just love the packaging and the
experience of also I just love to give
beauty items because they fit well in a
stocking and they're thoughtful and you
know they aren't permanent so if someone
wanted to use them then they're not just
gonna stick around in their house
forever so that just makes a good gift
opportunity you know okay let's get
started so I have a huge box full so I'm
gonna go as quickly as I can through
these so I want to start off with some
kits the first one is from Kota Lee I
mentioned them in my Women's Gift Guide
slash my wish list on my last video and
this trio is really cool because it's
masks that help you have instantly
beautiful skin it says the collection of
masks offers busy women perfect skin in
record time I think that this would be a
really great gift I plan to give this
one so I have not tried it but I am
excited to give it and I'm going to
attempt to remove the sticker still
working on that but yeah I'll definitely
be taking that off alright next is
haircare so this is the 3 Way kit this
has texture volume and wave so the first
one is a texturizing spray it's supposed
to kind of help your hair act like it
has a pomade in it but without all of
the weight in it as well and then it has
a volumizing spray I think that that's
really good even for people like me who
have I just have very thick hair and it
has a mind of its own
but sometimes it's just laying
completely flat and I think that that
would be good for anyone but it does
suggest if someone has fine hair that
this would be a really good thing and
then also it's got a wave spray which I
just absolutely love to have like the
ocean surf side spray in my hair
sometimes when I just want like a lazy
day feel it comes with clips so while
your hair is day
you can clip them in when you have the
wave spray in and it's just going to
have those you know effortless waves in
a very like intentional way you can make
it work for you next I have a kit by
grown Alchemist and I just have to say
as far as their design and aesthetic is
concerned this is so beautiful it's one
of those things where if you just left
these things out on your counter it
would just look so beautiful it wouldn't
look messy necessarily so what's in it
is the first one is a facial moisturizer
and that one has a lovely like geranium
scent to it the next one is a hand cream
so that's vanilla and orange peel and
then the lip balm is the vanilla and
watermelon so that's what comes in it I
am giving this one as a gift so I'm
really excited to just give these things
because I'm so proud of them and they're
all things that I would truly love to
receive this is the last kit of course I
think kits are such a great option
because the packaging is exceptional and
then also just to receive more than one
item and generally you can receive a
better value for it when it's in a kit
so this next one is the orb a body
travel set and it comes with a body
cream and a body wash I've used their
body scrub in the past and I've been so
impressed especially this time of year
so I'll also link that down in the
description below because I think it's
such an excellent product that's in my
bathroom right now so obviously I'm a
big fan and I love the way that their
bottles look as well it's just so
gorgeous so definitely check this one
out if you want to give like a body
beautiful luxury item moving into makeup
this next one is something that I swore
by for over a year and I'm so excited
this one is going to be a gift for
myself and I'm so excited to have it
back it's the Naked 2 Urban Decay basics
palette you know it was one of those
things where I had it when I was going
to the gym every morning and after I
would shower and get ready people were
like oh I know what that palette is it's
amazing and I'm like I know and why I
love it so much is really because it has
very neutral colors whereas a lot of
other palettes have like hints of pink
and everything that are unexpected and
you might be reaching for a brown
eyeshadow that day but really what you
came out with was just this weird green
mix and you go out in the daylight
like what and so as a gift I really
think that this is a safe option because
this would be a color scheme that works
well on anybody and I also love the fact
that the brightest color in this is a
very like yellow and pale tone so that
if you want to actually highlight things
like you know the highlight of your brow
then that would actually be something
that highlights a lot of times when I
especially in the wintertime try to go
highlight my brow it's just not bright
enough and so that really works well but
it also has just a whole range of colors
neutral colors so you can see there it's
just very minimal and neutral and I also
like the fact that there weren't tons of
different ranges of colors that I'm not
going to use when I got through with
this palette the first time it was like
I used every single color and that never
has happened with a palette before so I
had to throw in a few glossier products
obviously I love glossy A's whole
aesthetic like their whole experience
when you're shopping on their site their
checkout process was amazing and then
when you receive it it comes in this
amazing packaging that would be so cute
to open up on like Christmas morning
then also just the products themselves
I'm just really impressed with I've been
using them all year and one thing that I
absolutely loved was the mascara so this
is something that I would use if I
didn't want to do like a Vavoom look it
was more like for everyday which is also
so great because when I go to remove my
makeup this stuff actually comes off
without much effort and tugging on your
skin which is so delicate and so that's
why I've been really loving the lash
slick
another very safe bet to get someone as
a gift from glossier is the cloud paint
and when you look at these colors they
look a little bit daunting but I
actually went with the bravest of the
colors at the time and I was impressed
by how it looked on my skin I don't
really think that anyone can go wrong
with this because as long as you don't
put on too much which is kind of easy to
do it is easy to apply and build upon if
you wanted to just assess like how much
blush or you know lipstick that you want
to put on you could even put these on
your eyelid
a little bit I've done that in the past
just for fun so this color that I have
is Hayes and that one's good if you just
wanted a flush of color maybe looking
like you just had gone to yoga and then
this one is more if you just feel like
you want a little bit of a sunkissed
look so this one's called beam and I
like to just kind of put that around my
face I don't have it on right now but it
is something that I like to do
especially even when in the summertime
it was fun to use and play with at that
time too okay there's so much I want to
say about this next product so I'm just
going to just blab okay so this is Lila
bee and you can tell how much I've used
it and loved it because the logo is not
on there anymore and there's some
scratches and stuff it is very well
loved but all year I've been using this
and I still haven't reached the bottom
of it so this is a eyeshadow palette
this one is called be stunning
so Lila B has like a kit you can use
which is really great because each one
of these products is something that
works well together each one of them is
also great because when you just lay
them on your countertop it just looks
really beautiful like it's intentionally
supposed to be there when in reality
it's just life and you're living it and
you're not putting your makeup away in
fact this is part of a 3-piece kit so
this was the eyeshadow and then it comes
with a powder and then somewhere in the
depths of my purse is the lip cheek duo
but I love the combination the colors
are amazing
again very neutral palette you know and
so because the colors are close together
it's okay if your brush gets into the
other ones a little bit they all just go
together very well this is also a really
luxury gift to give someone because of
the way that it feels when you hold it
it's supposed to represent a river rock
which is why it's shaped like this and
it feels heavy like a stone so it's just
a nice experience so definitely check
out their whole site I know that there's
something on there that you'll love okay
this one I've been so excited to try
this is another gift for myself I'm not
gonna lie but this is from Lu la bow and
it's a face mask that's made with
charcoal and any time that I
used a charcoal facemask my skin looks
so much better actually I've used just
raw like live charcoal or sorry
activated charcoal that I put in with
water and mix up and it's just something
that I can put on my skin and it's just
so detoxifying and purifying and so if
I'm ever having any sort of a breakout
then I'll do that in fact this is such a
side note I am really allergic to
mosquito bites and when I was growing up
my aunt she would wrap up my mosquito
bites with live like activated charcoal
and let it sit there and my mosquito
bite would completely just stop swelling
and stuff that is the power that I have
realized I love with charcoal on my skin
and that's why I went in the head and
got this so this is a face mask with
charcoal and I believe shea butter
avocado oil bitter almond extract cocoa
butter so it detoxifies and purifies and
you leave it on for about 10 minutes and
you can use it a couple times a week
yeah ultimately I think that this would
make a really fun gift masks are a great
idea for gifts so if you've been
following this channel for a while you
might remember when I met recommended
last year the slip brand which makes
like eye masks and pillowcases that are
made out of silk and so I've had to
include it again this year so this is
the slip silk sleep mask so hard to say
and it's great because this one is in
gold so it's very luxurious looking the
reason why you should consider a silk
sleep mask and pillowcase is really
because it's great to have an anti-frizz
option for your hair or your eye well
your eyes don't need anti-french but
your pillowcase would be great for that
and then for the sleep mask it's great
because it's not going to cause any sort
of irritation or puffiness or anything
like that I think it even helps with
wrinkles and so that's why I opted for
silk when I'm looking for those types of
things so I'm going to be giving this
one the way I take care of mine is I
will just wash it in cold water with
delicate soap I like to use wool light
they have a delicates one I can leave a
link down in the description below and
then you just air dry it and use it
again like the next week or whatever so
that is how I
mine there this one of course is just
the sleep mask but you can get the
option where it's like a kit that
includes the pillowcase as well I'm a
big fan of giving nail polish as a gift
I think that it's something that people
can easily use or even rege if DIF they
wanted to and they didn't like the color
but also it just fits well in a stocking
and it's not you know crazy expensive
but this option is from more of a small
company and I'm going to be doing a shop
small video soon so I will hold off on
you know going into tons of detail today
but this is from J Hannah and she has a
lot of like jewelry but the one thing
that I love about the nail polishes is
just the beautiful color I've been using
it like all week so far on the gold and
I'm just absolutely loving it it's a
very like sheer color so it's almost
like having a clear coat but just having
a little bit of sparkle in a very
minimal way is a beautiful look this
time of year and then also I love these
like I don't even know how to describe
the color it's not quite a tan or a
blush but it's not even like a mob it's
just it's just the most perfect and
subtle color for a nail polish and I
just love it so much so I'll leave links
in the description below where you can
find these exact colors and you can find
out more about this next on my next
video as for perfume there's one that
I've had on my radar for a while so Zac
got it for me this year so this one I'm
super excited to put onto my counter and
it's such a beautiful scent as well this
is Gabrielle by Chanel so Gabrielle was
of course the name that Chanel was
called by her closest friends and
relatives and the way that would
describe this scent is very light and
floral almost a little bit of a musk to
it this is a very symbolic bottle not
only is the name very symbolic of
someone who's you know very close to
Chanel but then also these four points
here represents the four different
floral notes that are in this and they
all lead to one fifth floral note that
is how they all come together it's more
imaginary in that way so yeah I am
really excited to have this in my
collection I just think that perfumes
are a very thoughtful gift and overall I
think that perfumes give someone
more of an illusion of being put
together you know it's one thing to
dress put together but then when you
actually go in for a handshake or a hug
especially this time of year where
you're going to be getting together with
family perfume is such an added essence
that I think is so important so I hope
you guys liked this beauty gift guide
