This holiday gift guide is for the beauty lover. As I write this post, I’m remembering my mom and her love of makeup and beauty products. In fact if technology had been what it is now back in her day, I could definitely see her writing a beauty blog!
I have a lot of wonderful ideas including budget-friendly and luxurious gifts in today’s guide. Some of these items would be great for a ladies’ gift exchange. Others are sets that could be broken up into individual gifts too.
I am really loving Tarte cosmetics and have some great Tarte sets listed below, but you can find even more Tarte sets here.

Hot Hair Tools Heat Resistant Pad – I use this when curling my hair, for storing my curling iron, and travel too. It’s one of my best Amazon finds. Order a set of two pads here.
Makeup Eraser Towels – These remove eye makeup with only water.
Clinique Foundation Brush – I love this brush! It’s so good for applying foundation!
Beauty Blender Set – This is another great tool for applying your makeup. Get a set of two blenders plus cleaner here.
Hair Ties – These are gentle on your hair.
Hand Mask – This mask for soft hands is a great stocking stuffer.
Estee Launder Full Size Makeup & Skincare Set – Get this fabulous gift set for $75 with a $45 Estee Lauder purchase.
Tarte Amazonian Clay Eye Palette & Tarte Tease Eye Palette – These are my go to eye makeup palettes. The smaller Tease eye palette is like a mini me to the larger Amazonian Clay palette.
Marble Makeup Bag -This huge makeup bag has moveable dividers.
Eye Makeup Brushes – I use this set, and these makeup brushes are fabulous! In fact, Real Techniques makeup brushes are some of the best I’ve ever used.
Drybar Round Blow-Dryer Brush – She’ll love this luxury beauty gift.
Tarte Eyeshadow Palette Set – These three gorgeous palettes can be used as three different gifts.
Tarte Cheek Set – Here’s another great gift for one or several friends.
