Any beauty girl knows that in order for her makeup to be flawless, she needs to start with a strong foundation. This all-star DHC Best Selling Beauty Essentials Set provides your beauty bestie with everything she needs to nourish her skin. The gift set includes DHC’s Deep Cleansing Oil, Complexion-Perfecting Velvet Skin Coat Makeup Primer, Concentrated Eye Cream and Skin-Quenching Extra Nighttime Moisture.

If your gal pal loves experimenting and trolling “behind the scenes” shots from fashion shows and movie sets, Kryolan is the company for her. Kryolan has been the make-up brand of choice in the film industry for 66 years and is one of the world’s first professional make-up lines. Its staying power in the industry is almost as unbelievable as the color selection. Check out the full line that includes palettes, airbrushing and fun (yet spookily realistic) special effects makeup.

*Pro Tip: The makeup artist at this year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show used this blush on all of the angels.

If you have someone on your list that wants to change her look, but is scared to take the plunge, her smartphone may be her new best friend. Perfect365 is an awesome app that lets her try thousands of different makeup looks by uploading a picture, or using the real time video feature. She’ll also get tips for applying makeup and can upload her new selfies to social media to get the people’s opinion in a snap. You can get her the full version for her PC or Mac here.

*Pro Tip: Hook your girl up with an iTunes gift card so she can unlock secret purchases and really get the most out of the app.

 

For the Organic Girl

Shea Terra Organics products are just as beneficial for the environment as they are for your skin. Our personal favorite is the African Shea Butter Collection. This set allows you to try out all three-body creams before committing to a full size jar. Shea Terra has something for everyone, with products that cleanse and revitalize everything from your hair to your feet. They also have products that are specifically for babies!

Choosing a signature scent is stressful, especially with people’s body chemistry being different, which actually affects how a perfume reacts to their skin. Take the guesswork out of giving the perfect perfume and give the Sephora Favorites Liquid Luxuries Perfume Sampler. This way, your Secret Santa can try out 15 designer scents to really get a feel for what they like and works best for them. In addition to the extensive gift set, you also get a scent voucher that the recipient can trade in for a full size bottle once they have found “the one.”

*Pro Tip: They also have a gift set that is perfect for men!
