Holiday Gift Sets You’ll Want For Yourself

Posted on December 1, 2014March 30, 2020 by Elaine

Well it’s December. Officially gift buying season! Some of you may already be done your Christmas shopping gift wrap and all! (By the way if this is you we can’t be friends 😛 )

I always think some of the best gifts are the ones you’d want to pick up for yourself (one for so and so…one for me…).

Holiday gift sets are convenient but can sometimes feel like a cop out. Here are some amazing holiday gift sets you should probably buy for your loved ones but that you’ll want to keep for yourself!

holiday-gift-packs-benefit-cosmetics

Benefit cosmetics Cheeky Sweet Spot and Sugarglam Fairies holiday kits come in lovely collectible tins filled with some of their best selling products.

holiday-gift-packs-benefit-cosmetics-cheeky-sweet-spot-blushes

The Cheeky Sweet Spot ($36) is a “box o’ blushes” and is filled with all the pretty Benefit Cosmetics blushes so you can pick the flush of your choice!

holiday-gift-packs-benefit-cosmetics-sugar-glam-fairies-best-sellers

The Sugarglam Fairies ($45) box includes the basics to achieve the perfect Benefit Cosmetics face! It includes my favourite “They’re Real” mascara too!

 

holiday-gift-sets-the-body-shop-lip-gloss-lolipop

The Body Shop Jolly Lippy Lolly ($20) will put a smile on anyone’s face! Filled with 5 yummy lipglosses you (ahem your loved one) can keep one in every purse or desk drawer!

holiday-gift-sets-the-body-shop-shea-butter holiday-gift-sets-the-body-shop-shea-butter-4

You can’t go wrong with this Shea Ultimate Luxuries ($55) gift set. Sure just slathering on any old lotion will do the job but I LOVE the thought of layering on a scented lotion with a combination of complimentary products; plus I’m a sucker for pretty packaging 😉

To find the PERFECT gift from The Body Shop check out their handy gift finder.

holiday-gift-sets-sephora-gold-brush-roll

What girl doesn’t need a luxe travel brush set? The Gold Start Skinny Brush Set from Sephora ($49) is both pretty and functional! Perfect for the jet setter you may have on your list.

holiday-gift-sets-mark-eye-dream-of-gleam

For the girl that loves to be on trend the mark. Eye Dream of Glam eye shadow palette ($40) is the ultimate gift of glamour with 16 marbleized shades.

holiday-gift-sets-urban-decay-vice-palette holiday-gift-sets-urban-decay-vice-palette-2 holiday-gift-sets-urban-decay-vice-palette-3

If you’ve got a makeup collector junkie on your list (could that be you too?) then you won’t want to miss out on the Urban Decay Vice 3 palette ($70) complete with exclusive shadow and crease blush. And can I just mention that palette pouch?!? Amazing! This will DEFINITELY be one you’ll be tempted to keep rather than give 😉

Do any of these products make your shopping list this year? What’s on your gift wish list?

  • I got Botox! (Technically, I got Nuceiva, which is a different brand of neuromodulator, but does the same thing) I’ve been feeling uncomfortable with the fine lines on my forehead, and wanted to try out neuromodulators! It was easier and much less painful than I anticipated, but definitely was a bit of an emotional journey. ➡️ I got 24 units during this visit, at a cost of $11 each. (Cost will vary depending on brand of neuromodulator, the clinic you choose, and the person who does the treatment) ➡️ This treatment will probably last around 3 months, and then will
  • Fresh nails for Spring! This was my first time getting a dip powder mani. It was so interesting! Apparently it’ll last about 3-4 weeks. I like that I didn’t have to cure the nails with a UV lamp, and that there was less filing than with biogel. I decided not to go with extensions today, but that’s an option as well. So far I’m a fan! Do you prefer shellac, bio-gel, dip, or natural nails? —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #tbrcontributors #springmani #dippowdernails #dipmanicure #toronto #torontonails #torontopr #dipnails #nailinspo #bluenails #shortnails #opidippowder #organicnailbar #organicnailbarto #kingwest #freshnails #nailstagram #simplenails #nailsalon
  • Trying out @fentyskin’s Cookies & Clean Detox Face Mask! I love a good mask, and goodness knows my skin needs a bit of help nowadays! ➡️This is one of the products I featured in my blog post about Black-owned beauty brands. I love that it’s not too drying, makes my skin feel refreshed, is cruelty-free, and is part of the Clean at Sephora collection! Have you checked out anything from Fenty Beauty or Fenty Skin? —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #tbrcontributors #blackownedbeauty #blackownedbusinesses #cleanskincare #fentyskin #cleanatsephora #claymask #charcoalmask #crueltyfree #crueltyfreeskincare #crueltyfreebeauty #torontopr #torontoblogger #selfcaresunday #skincareroutine #skincarejunkie #skincarelover #cleanskin
