Hello beauties, hope it is not too late for my Christmas gift guide. If you have done all your Christmas shopping to friends and families then just ignore it but if you haven't, hopefully my gift guide will give you some idea of what you could get for your loved ones who love beauty related products as gifts. This blogpost is all about the things that you can purchase at beautybay.com who is an UK based online beauty shopping site that carries tons of beauty products from different brands ranging from drug store to high-end, and actually offers international shipping (free if you order more than 13 Euros) so great for those of you who want to get your hands on the things that aren't available at your home countries. I love beautybay, and I think I might have just done a bit of damage on my credit card. Opps...
Let's start with gifts that are under 30 Euros...
1. EOS Rachel Roy Smooth Sphere 3 piece gift set (20 Euros). Now this will make a great little gift, you can even separate them and I'm sure they will make a great stocking stuffer. I heard only great things about EOS lip balms and for cold winter days you just can't go wrong with those. It is a limited edition set and it comes with 3 different scents. Just look how cute it is! By the way do you know that EOS lips balms are 100% natural?!
2. OPI Gwen Stefani Rock Starlets Mini Collection. It is now 15.70 Euros reduced from 17.40... Emmm hurry!! This little set contains 4 colours that are great for this time of the year. You just can't go wrong with OPI polishes because they all have great colour pay-off and they do last as well. Great little gift for someone who are into nails.
3. Japonesque Touch Up Tube Set (21.60 Euros). This set is ideal for someone who just got into the beauty world. It's got everything a girl needs to apply a full face makeup. I heard pretty good things about Japonesque brushes and they are made with natural and synthetic fibers. It contains a Foundation/Concealer brush, a Lip brush, Shadow brush, Crease brush, Powder brush which can be used as a Blush brush, and a sleek Tube Case which you can choose from black, pink animal print and silver. Great little set indeed!
4. Stila Putting on the Glitz 8 piece Lip Glaze Gift Set. It is now 27.10 Euros which is reduced from 33.90. This is a great gift for lippie lovers. Again you can certainly divide them up and put them in the stockings. It is a limited edition set and comes with 8 different colours from nude to deep. Stila lip glaze has great reviews online and for the price you just can't go wrong. I think my cousin who is now 19 years old would loooove this little set.
Ok now gifts between 30 and 50 Euros...
5. Beauty Blender Sponge Duo and Cleanser set (36.80 Euros). Now who doesn't love beauty blenders. Arhh... "noone". Beauty blenders are the ultimate tools for applying foundation, concealer and even powder for a flawless face. I love them and they are hands down great gifts for beauty junkies. It comes with 2 not just 1 sponges plus a little brush cleaner (150ml). How thoughtful!
6. Aromatherapy Associates Essential Bath & Shower Oils (34.10 Euros). Talk about pampering during Christmas... This set is seriously gorgeous not just the packaging but the smell is just unbelievable. It comes with 3 of their best selling scents which are Deep Relax, De-Stress Mind and Revive Morning. Each little bottle has 7.5ml of product which is not bad because a little goes a long way. They are made with pure essential oils and are 100% natural. Can I please take a bath now?!!!
7. Pai Skincare Intensive Facial Rosehip 3 piece gift set (33.50 Euros). Not gonna lie but I just picked up one for myself because it is just too good to pass... It has Pai's award winning Rosehip Oil which is full size (30ml). I heard so much about this little wonder and apparently it is great for skin pigmentation, stretch marks and fine lines and wrinkles etc. It also has a Rosehip Radiance Face Mask (75ml) plus one organic Muslin Cloth. I have never heard about the mask but I have a feeling is gonna be good. Honestly I've never tried anything from Pai before but everyone has always raved about their Rosehip range, I just can't wait till it arrives.
8. Urban Decay Black Magic Double ended 24/7 Glide on Eye Pencil 4 piece gift set (35.40 Euros). This set contains 4 double ended eyeliner pencils. They all have black on one ends and 4 other gorgeous colours on the other ends. I think I don't need to say more because they are highly raved products in the beauty world and they certainly live up to all that hype. They can be use as eyeshadow base as well, just apply then smudge with fingers. Quick, easy and last all day!
9. Oskia Skin Smoothing Massage Candle (43 Euros). A candle that smells beyond and the burning oil can be used on both face and body for massaging purpose. Can... it... get... any better than that?! Oskia's products are just pure luxury, and I think everyone would be happy to receive one of those as Christmas pressie. This candle is infused with omegas, vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids which are all so good for our skin. My mum would love this to death! Just saying.
Lastly it is a gift that is over 60 Euros category but I personally think it is a great gift for mums, sisters, or even best friends who suffer from a good night sleep due to stress, light or whatever reason is there.
10. Holistic Silk Lavender Eye Mask (60.40 Euros). This mask is infused with organic lavenders which are great for calming down the stress, tension and headaches. The fabric is made of silk and velvet materials which feel very soft and comfortable on the eyes, and apparently it is great for preventing fine lines and wrinkles around the eye contour areas. There are so many colours that you can choose from. I think this makes a great gift for someone special in your life, the gift itself just says you care! Don't you think?!
There you have it. I think I got everything covered, skincare, makeup, tools, body, I know that I don't have anything of hair and fragrance. You know what, those things are just too personal in my opinion.
Thank you so much for your time and I just like all the gifts that I featured in this post. I hope you can find something that you like, if you don't then don't worry because beautybay has a great selection of Christmas gifts and I'm sure you'll be able to find something that suits your budget and taste.
Have a lovely weekend guys and see you next week. Muahh! @eflicciardello
