We all have a beauty-guru in our lives.
She is the one who is always in the know about the best new foundation, can contour like a Kardashian and is the first to jump to try out the latest skincare trends. Maybe that person is you– still, we’re always looking to give the gift of makeup and skincare to someone in our lives in the month of December.
Beauty gift sets are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season. Bundled up products with a value price tag is always a great way to play around and discover some great new products that may be otherwise you and/or your beauty-loving bestie had been hesitant to invest in.
Earlier this year I had the opportunity to take a sneak peek at some of the great holiday gift sets at Ulta was blown away– I’m talking 3 floors (in what was once the home of Elizabeth Taylor… but minor detail) oozing with all the makeup and skincare goodness.
Today I’m sharing with you some of my favorites!
