It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays! As we prepare to celebrate one of the most wonderful times of the year, let’s not forget to take advantage of all of the Cyber Monday sales too! Use this time to get your hands on some of this season’s most coveted beauty gifts, whether it’s to give as a gift to someone or to yourself! Read on to see which beauty gifts are trending this year!
1. Jo Malone London 3-Piece Travel Candle Collection
I’m a huge fan of scents, and nothing makes me happier than a fragrant home or room. There’s just something about the warm glow and charming scent of a candle that helps me unwind after a long day, making it one of my beauty routine must-haves. Jo Malone London is known for its luxurious scents, but since they are kind of pricey when they aren’t on sale, I usually don’t splurge on their products until the holidays. Around this time of the year, they usually have gift sets that offer a selection of products for a more reasonable price, so that’s why I like to take advantage of the Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals. In particular, this Jo Malone London 3-Piece Travel Candle Collection is the perfect gift for someone (or for yourself), since this is more of a luxury item that we don’t usually splurge on.
2. amika hair blow dry brush 2.0 2-in-1 hair styling tool
Aside from fragrances, the holidays are a great time to either gift or receive hair styling tools, since they’re not usually things that we splurge on as well. I know everyone raves about the Dyson hairdryers, but personally, I’ve felt that hair blow dryer brushes have made the most difference to my haircare routine, especially this one from Amika! The two-in-one tool combines a round brush and blow-dryer into one, so it gives you an effortless and natural blowout. I love how convenient it is, and I even take this blow dryer brush with me when I travel, since it saves me so much time in the mornings. Though it may be a bit on the pricey side, this heat styling tool is definitely worth every dollar, especially since it also comes in a set that includes Amika’s best-selling haircare products as well!
3. Fresh Cosmetics Sugar Lip Kit
And last but not least – my favorite lip products! Fresh has always offered luxurious, artisanal skincare and beauty items that combine natural ingredients, such as rose, sugar, and soy, but their lip products are truly extraordinary! I love how rich and moisturizing they are, and at the same time, the light tint makes it perfect for everyday wear. I always have one of these in my purse, and I love how it keeps my lips feeling soft and hydrated, while also lighting up my face with just the subtlest hint of color! The gift set isn’t too pricey, making it the perfect gift to give or receive!
That wraps up some of my favorite beauty and skincare gift picks! I can’t wait to shop all of the sales on Cyber Monday!
