So, by now you’ve filled her Christmas stocking? Perhaps you’re looking to up the ante? Well today’s gift guide is going to show you some beauty gifts that are guaranteed to have you in the good books this year! So grab a cuppa and…well you know the drill..
Urban Decay “On The Run” Palette: So we’ve had the Naked 1,2 and 3, then the basics and now Urban Decay knock it out of the park again with this new beautiful palette. It’s essentially a palette of some of the “best bits” from their permanent range. Perfect for “on the go” as the title suggests, you really do have everything you need. If the girl in your life is already a “naked” fan then it’s safe to say that she probably needs (ok wants) this one too.
Aromatherapy Associates Miniature bath and shower oil collection: Calling all bath lovers! This set is the ultimate accessory every girl needs for a luxury pamper session. The minis are a great way for you to sample the various scents and you only need a couple of drops per bath time so the 3ml actually lasts for a few goes. http://www.spacenk.com/10-miniature-bath-%26-shower-oil-collection/MUK200013847.html
Caudalie Parfum Divine Gift Set: Comes with a 50ml sized Parfum and 50ml sized divine oil. The divine oil has been a beauty blogger cult classic for a few years now and for good reason. The set is excellent value as the perfume alone is the same price as the set. Caudalie products are always welcome in any girls beauty cabinet in my opinion. http://www.feelunique.com/p/Caudalie-Parfum-Divin-50ml-Gift-Set
Benefit Cheeky Sweet Spot Box o’ Blushes: Oh me oh my.. how cute is the packaging?! Benefit are always on top when it comes to their gift sets but this was my favourite of them all! Comes with 5 blushers, 1 bronzer and a highlighter…all from their permanent range. This set is perfect for Benefit fanatics or someone looking to test out their products for the first time. I’ve actually tried all of these products individually and I’m a huge fan! Give the gift of cute this Christmas! …Gawd, I’m cheesy! http://www.boots.ie/en/benefit-cheeky-sweet-spot-box-o-blushes-set_1498087/
River Island Onesie from Asos: Three cheers for the invention of the onesie! This River Island one is a little bit on the luxury side compared to the usual p.js gift but look how cosy it looks! Love the fur trim around the hood. I bet Beyonce wears something very similar 😉 http://www.asos.com/river-island/river-island-velour-fur-trim-onesie/prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4562445&SearchQuery=Onesie&pgesize=36&pge=1&totalstyles=52&gridsize=3&gridrow=12&gridcolumn=3
Beauty Box Subscription: Chic Treat Club is a new Irish Beauty Box which offers 5 beauty treats per box every month. A single box costs 16.95 but you could buy your special someone a 3month subscription for only 44.95. I love this idea cause its sort of like a gift that keeps giving even after christmas is over. Its something for that person to look forward to each month and they get t0 sample some new products along the way. If you can’t get Chic Treat Club where you live, other similar beauty boxes include Glossybox and Birchbox. Give it an ol’ Google now…
Handmade Personalised Ring: I had to include a soppy one for all those love birds or softies out there. There’s no denying that this would be a lovely gift. I love how hands on and personal this gift is as you get to decide exactly how you want the ring to turn out. You can pick the font, words, size and finish. You can choose to have it engraved on the inside or outside or both. You can even send on your own handwriting to be engraved! Very reasonable price for such a thoughtful gift. Would it be sad if I bought one for myself?! https://www.etsy.com/ie/listing/62801525/personalized-ring-secret-message-ring?ref=br_feed_2&br_feed_tlp=gifts

Any of these tickle your fancy?…
A Tiny Slice Of Kate 
Ooooh, that bath oil set is just darling! I like sample-style packs like this, because I always struggle to choose just one scent that I like. This way I get to try them all and then I can buy larger versions of the ones that tickle my fancy. Also, you aren’t left with a massive bottle of something that gives you a headache.
I agree, it’s hard to know what scent somebody else will like, so like you said, they can try it out and if they don’t like it then it’s not a waste of a large product! 🙂
