Last week I received a box off all of Urban Decay's holiday offerings and felt like a kid in a candy store. Before I knew it, my hand was colored in different shades from their shadow pencils, my other hands had five different shades of polish on it and I was plugged in learning how to use their newest version of the Book of Shadows. If I was this excited, then I know any girl on your list would love something from Urban Decay this season.
As soon as I looked at this year's edition of the Book of Shadows, $64 my eyes widened and I literally said, "Wow" out loud to myself. It includes 16 of their best shadows, a primer (the best primer ever), mascara and liquid liner but the technology behind it is insane. It comes with five downloadable how-to videos that you can scan into your iPhone or a camera with a web browser and a speaker. Very clever.
Another one of my favorites is the Holiday Nail Kit, $28. It comes with six mini shades that are truly the perfect nail polish size. Who uses a full bottle of nail polish anyway? The colors are dynamic and perfect for the season. My favorite – Wrecked, a deep purple.
I'm so excited to begin presenting you with some great holiday gift ideas for the ladies and gentlemen on your list. Throughout the next month on BeautySweetSpot, I'll be sharing some of my fave picks out of crazy amounts of holiday loot I've been scoping out in hopes it makes your holiday shopping a bit less stressful. I'll also be giving away a ton of what I feature so stay tuned! First up: Lorac Bejeweled Day & Night Gift Box.
As soon as I saw this masterpiece at a Lorac holiday event in the beginning of November I knew it was going to make my gift guide. Created by Lorac's Celebrity Makeup Artist, Carol Shaw, it's full of universally wearable shades and the cosmetic trays are removable so you're left with an embellished, silver jewelry box.
