I’m giving the gift of beauty this year to my daughter, DILs, and granddaughters. I tend to give gifts that I would like to receive, and beauty products and skincare are always on my list. There are many great products to choose from, and I’ve found a couple to showcase today.

I’m Giving The Gift Of Beauty This Year

Giving The Gift Of Beauty This Year from Nordstrom Beauty

You are probably like me, and love ordering from Nordstrom for clothing because they have a wide variety of styles, prices, and FREE shipping and returns. But, did you know they also carry a huge amount of beauty products?

OSEA Bestsellers Body Care Set

I have extremely (like the Sahara Desert) dry skin, so winter can be hard on my skin. I’ve been using OSEA products since last year at this time, and I love them so much that I am gifting them to those I love. The OSEA Bestsellers Body Care Set contains four of their top products.

  • Undaria Algae™ Body Oil
  • Anti-Aging Body Balm
  • Salts of the Earth Body Scrub
  • Undaria Algae™ Body Butter

The body care set contains a small bottle/jar, which is perfect if you’re gifting this to someone who has never used the products. If you are buying this for yourself, you might want to consider the full-size version. Here are those links: Undaria Algae Body Oil, Anti-Aging Body Balm, Salts of the Earth Body Scrub, Undaria Algae Body Butter. If you can only choose one product, I recommend the Body Butter.

L’Occitane Nourishing Shea Heroes Lip, Hand & Body Care Set

I’ve used three of the products in this set, and they are wonderful. This set contains:

  • Shea Nourishing Nail & Cuticle Oil 
  • Shea Butter Hand Cream
  • Shea Ultra-Rich Lip Balm
  • Shea Milk Extra-Gentle Bar Soap
  • Shea Butter Foot Cream

The hand cream is thick and moisturizes my dry, cracked hands. The lip balm does wonders for my dry lips, and I try to keep one in my handbag at all times. Joe and I first used the Shea Milk Bar Soap while on vacation in Cancun. He talked the housekeeper into giving him a new bar every day so that he could bring them home with us. I order them now, and put them in my guest bedrooms.

Clinique Makeup Bag Must-Haves Holiday Gift Set

This is truly a MUST-HAVE gift set! Clinique is Paraben-free, phthalate-free, and fragrance-free. This set contains the Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, which is a favorite of mine. I love how soft and moisturizing the lipstick/balm is, and the color looks great on everyone. Here’s the rest of the products in the set:

  • All About Shadow™ Eyeshadow Palette
  • High Impact Mascara in Black
  • High Impact™ Easy Liquid Eyeliner in Black
  • Even Better™ Light Reflecting Primer

Don’t feel guilty if you snag a few of these products for yourself and slip the others in a stocking as a gift. That is one reason I love gift sets; they include items you can gift and some to keep.

Lancôme Hypnôse Drama Wardrobe Eye & Lip Makeup Gift Set

This makeup gift set by Lancôme is perfect for a 5-minute face. When I’m in a hurry, I always make sure to use mascara and lipstick, even if I don’t have time to apply anything else. This set contains:

  • Full-size Hypnôse Drama Mascara 
  • Full-size Le Stylo Waterproof Eyeliner in 01 Noir Onyx Metallic
  • Full-size LAbsolu Rouge Cream Lipstick in 391 Exotic Orchid

MAC Cosmetics Connect in Color 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette

MAC Cosmetics is a brand that I’ve used since I first started experimenting with makeup. They are known for quality products, and this 6-Pan Eyeshadow Palette is a great example. There are several palette colors to choose from, so you can decide which one works best for you. This palette is formulated with up to 25% higher pigment load compared to previous MAC Eye Shadow palettes.

MAC Cosmetics Extended Play Gigablack Lash Mascara

Speaking of MAC Cosmetics, the Extended Play Gigablack Lash Mascara is my new FAVORITE mascara. I stumbled upon it last month, and I’ve been using it ever since. My lashes have never looked longer, and the skinny wand helps to keep my lashes from clumping. The mascara is long-lasting and doesn’t flake or smudge. Just one look at this photo, and you can see why you need to try this mascara.

Be sure to check out the Beauty Sale now going on through the 24th, where you can get up to 30% off selected skin care, hair care, and more.
