Gift Guide for Beauty Queens

Holiday Gift Guide for Beauty Queen Makeup Lovers Christmas 2016


Stocking Stuffers


1. ELF Get Glowing Set - This is a great little stocking stuffer for someone who wants to try highlighting but isn't ready to shell out the big bucks! It includes both powder and liquid highlighters!

4. ELF Mad for Matte Lip Set - Emily Eddington, one of my favorite youtubers, recommended this set. For more info on her review, see this video.

6. ELF Lip Exfoliator and Color Set ($5!) - Exfoliating your lips makes your matte lip look so much better, and this set contains both the exfoliator and the matte lipstick!

7. Aztec Clay Face Mask -  It's cheap and it works great!

9. Ardell Demi Wispies - Lashes are such a fun thing to play with. If you use them a lot, you always need more and if you've never tried them, these Wispies are a good one to start with. Love them already? Get the large pack of Ardell Demi Wispies!

10. ELF Lipstick Case - Ok...how adorable is this sparkly lipstick case FOR $3!?!

Christmas Gifts

2. Bite Beauty The Perfect Bite - This is another set recommended by Emily Eddington (see above), and it's a great way to sample Bite Beauty's lipsticks!

3. Lighted Vanity Mirror - This is one of the items I have on my own Christmas list! Sometimes lighting can be so bad where you put on your makeup. Or, like me, you put on makeup early in the morning when it's still dark and you don't have natural light! Here's your solution!

5. Sephora Collection Brush Set - You can never have too many cute brushes!

8. IT Cosmetics Most Wished For Holiday Palette - This kit has EVERYTHING! For a review, see here.


Gifts for the Person Who Love to Cook!


Holiday Gift Guide for cooks Christmas 2016

1. T-Fal Cook Set - I have tried a number of different brands of skillets, but hands down, the best I've used have been T-Fal. They clean up so easily and cook very evenly. This set is such a great deal and during Macy's Friends and Family sale (ends 7/8!) you can get an EXTRA 25% off with code FRIEND. Really...you can't get better than that!  

2. Zester - Every serious cook will have a recipe sometime that calls for a zester so grab them one now!

3. Cast Iron Skillet - There's nothing like having a hand-me-down cast iron skillet that is seasoned and wonderful. But, who's to say you can't start the tradition and pass it down to your kids and grandkids?

4. Knife Sharpener - Every kitchen should have one of these! This Professional Sharpener looks great too!

5. Kitchen Food Scale with Bowl - Lots of recipes will call for a certain number of ounces of vegetables. Other times you may need it to measure out portion sizes. Either way, a scale with a bowl comes in very handy. (Don't want the bowl? Here is a non-bowl food scale.)

6. Spiralizer - With more people trying to eat healthy and cut carbs, spiralizers have become more necessary for making noodles out of veggies! (Another good spiralizer)

7. Knife Set with Scissors - A good knife set is the perfect gift for a new cook. Know a college student on their own for the first time or a newly married couple? Get them a knife set that they will have their entire life. My favorite are ones with scissors, because you have no idea how often you need scissors in the kitchen!

8. Tongs - I use my tongs constantly. You can never have too many in a kitchen!

9. Immersion Blender - Use this for soups, smoothies, frosting, and more! Once you start using it you'll find so many different uses for it!

10. Food Processor - It's big bucks, but it's one of those items you'll be glad you have when it comes time to make salsa, shred carrots, or make cauliflower rice!


That's it for this week! Stay tuned for more gift ideas!
