Haute Holiday Gift Guide: Beauty gifts for her

Beauty Gifts for Her
Can I tell you a secret? Women of all ages love beauty products. For women, going into Sephora is the equivalent of a 6-year-old going into Toys R Us! Give the lady in your life that same joy by gifting her with one of the many holiday beauty gift sets of there. Skip the ho-hum cliché Bath and Body works sets because no one is getting excited about those. For the same cost you can get her something a lot nicer. Here are a few of my favorites:

Jaqua Butter Cream Frosting Guilt-Free Body Treats Kit: I can't tell you how many times I have stood inside Ulta and sniffed this until I got a nasty look from the store clerks. These products smell delicious. It's like your nose is hanging out inside a bakery. It's a beautiful thing.

Shu Uemura Eye Kit:
Gorgeous eyes are just a squeeze of an eyelash curler, a swipe of the mascara wand and quick draw with an eye pencil.

YSL Palette Pour Les Levres:
Wear your lipstick around your neck with this limited edition lipstick necklace by YSL which was inspired by a piece of jewelry that Mr. Saint Laurent wanted his favorite model to wear during his fashion shows.

Stylish Stocking Stuffers for Her
You know what they say ... 'big things come in small packages' and Christmas stockings are no exception. I know the first thing I go for on Christmas morning is my stocking; it sets the tone for the rest of my present opening experience. Here are some goodies that will be sure to please any fashion fanatic:

Bourjois Kissed From Paris Set:
A girl can never have too many tubes of lip-gloss. But where is a tube of gloss when you need one? This adorable kit from Bourjois has four mini lip-glosses attached to a stylish key ring, so your lip gloss will always be nearby.

Sephora Gift Card:
Gift cards may seem cliché and thoughtless but that is only true when they are for places like Best Buy. A gift card to Sephora gives the gift of beauty, which is pretty much the best gift around.

GoSMILE Peppermint Candy Toothpaste:
Real candy canes are sugary and fattening; get all of that delicious candy taste while getting your teeth sparkling clean.

Victoria Secret Flannel Boxers:
Flannel pants are great for lounging around the house but they aren't ideal for sleeping. These flannel shorts are perfect for sleeping and gifting -- just tie a pretty ribbon around them and stick them in a stocking.

Sephora Travel Brush Set:
A travel brush set is a must-have for every woman; throw them it your purse, gym bag, or desk drawer. This affordable brush set has a faux croc skin case and comes with five miniature brushes.

Lafco NY Luxury Bath Soaps:
These soaps are one of Oprah's favorite things and they are bound to be your recipients' new favorite thing too.

Urban Decay Eye shadow Primer Potion:
This potion keeps your eye shadow in place all day long (it really works too). For only $25 you get two tubes of primer potion ... one for you and one for you recipient.

MAC Viva Glamorous: Do good while looking good with this lip palette from MAC. 100% of the proceeds from MAC's Viva Glam's products goes to the MAC AIDS fund. This a gift that you are the recipient can really feel good about.
