On the Twelfth Day of Blogmas
Good evening, belles & beaus!
I know this is coming sooooo late tonight but I can’t help it. I will gladly take it if I’m going to make sure I hit every day of blogmas. I count it up until Christmas day so we’ve almost gotten there!
For me, I find that shopping for my best friends are super hard. They are deserving of so much but I, of little funds, cannot give them the tripes to Europe that they so deeply deserve. So I’m going to give you a run down on what I’ve gifted to my friends in the past year that might make awesome gifts!
For the Makeup Lover
Now I am split on which of these to really support buying. I get absolutely no kickbacks for these. These are just my opinions on what to get.
The first thing I want to suggest are some brushes. The KEEPO 10 Pieces Professional Oval Makeup Brush Set are some that I purchased for one of my friends for her birthday. They are very similar to the Real Techniques brushes that were just released and I fully believe they are comparable. Plus for the price – they are definitely for those balling on a budget to some degree. When I purchased them, they were much cheaper, but they have a coupon going on on Amazon right now that might save you some bank!
My other brush suggestion comes from my all favorite BH Cosmetics. I swear they could offer me an affiliate code and I would jump on it. Alas, they haven’t nor will they probably ever do so. But I am in love with their 36 Piece Ultimate Makeup Brush Set. Right now they are on sale for $19.99 USD with a regular price of $36.99 USD. Trust me, they’re worth the price! I absolutely love these brushes and own my own set because my mom was pretty awesome last Christmas.
Also as a side note, Target has a $5 beauty blender in their gift section for the ladies this year…. I don’t know if it’s worth it, but I’m highly thinking about buying one for me and one for a friend because I need a new beauty blender. We shall see!
For The Bestie
My bestie lives on the opposite side of the state from me. It sucks big time. But the best part about her is that we shop alike and we dress alike. I can’t tell you how many times when we would shop one another’s closets during college.
I tell you this because when I was at Target for mama the other day I spotted the perfect sweater for the two of us… Which honestly, I think we’re actually buying it for one another. It’s in the women’s section and it’s the Women’s Rose and Shine Graphic Sweatshirt. We’re not alcoholics, I swear it! We just like really cute things like this. It’s on really soft fabric so I can’t wait to have it in my closet. My bestie is also really obsessed with the movie White Christmas so anything with snowflakes or stuff like that are a definite must. Target offers a lot of socks with them on them so we shall see what happens!
My point is knowing what your bestie loves can help you narrow down the search, especially if you shop the same. I also have a kitty niece now so I might be sending some presents for her as well.
For the Self Pampered
I have fallen in absolute love with Soap & Glory. They aren’t just for makeup, y’all! They have tons of stuff to self pamper yourself or gift to your friend that enjoys doing the same! Seriously, their scrubs and soaps are to die for in my opinion!
Everyone is doing a lot of spa style gift collections this year. I’ve seen them at Ulta, Sephora, and even Target! Just shop around until you find something the Self Pampered on your list would go for!
What would you suggest for a gift guide from the 2017 year?
XOXO,
Trula Marie
