2010 Makeup and Beauty Gift Giving Guide

For anyone who is a beauty junkie like me, recieving any kind of gift set from a store like Sephora is heaven. Here is a list of holiday must-haves, perfect for gift giving!

Bath and Body

1. Any Philosophy Gift Set. Philosophy has numerous holiday scents packaged into cute little gift sets. This years scents include: Gingerbread, Candy Cane, Peppermint, Cinnamon Icicng, Marshmallow, and Snow Angel.

If you've never experienced a Philosophy scent you''re missing out! They are highly fragranced and smell exactly like what they say they smell like. Philosophy has sets containing an all-in-one shower gel, bubble bath and shampoo, matching lotion and lip gloss. Definetly check out their gift sets to WOW your loved one.

2. Bliss Bubble + Butter Spa Blends in Orange and White Pepper. Sephora says: This perfect skincare duo in Bliss' invigorating Blood Orange and White Pepper scent delivers a rich lather and moisturizing benefits for your softest skin yet. Soapy Suds cleanses while nourishing skin with aloe and vitamin E. Body Butter features a super-absorbent, non-greasy formulation with coconut oil to soften skin and sodium hyaluronate to lock in moisture. I say: Sodium hyaluronate is one of the best things for hydrating your skin and the smell is said to be like The Body Shop's "Satsuma". $35
