Holiday Gift Guide: Beauty

Do you still have enough energy to shop after Black Friday & Cyber Monday? Holiday shopping isn't over yet, and if you're anything like me, you're guilty of just buying for yourself this past week, and completely forgetting about everyone else.

I've rounded up my favorite 16 must-have beauty essentials, many of which are on amazing promotions still - we're talking 20-30% off!  Many of the items I am sharing with you are my beauty go-to's. I'd love to hear what some of yours are!

I don't know about you, but I am a hair spray addict. This is my go-to hair spray because it has the perfect amount of hold, keeps firm all day, but isn't sticky and doesn't make your hair so frozen that you can't run a brush through it

Nighttime face lotion is a must. This one is full of  so much moisture, absorbs instantly, and will leave your skin looking refreshed in the morning

Candles make the perfect addition to any bathroom. I for one love lighting them while I'm getting ready and when I'm taking a bath. This one smells just like the holidays

An easy to use liner. This is great for creating the perfect cat eye look for the holidays, or smudging to make a smokey eye

The perfect eye shadow pallet. I love the shades of brown and gold. Looks good on any complexion and goes with all eye colors

Nothing is better than red lipstick during the holidays
