Tis the Season to Sleigh Your Makeup
If there’s any time of the year that will let you get away with red glitter eyeshadow or pine green lipstick, it’s during the holidays. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's grant you three opportunities to go above and beyond and break away from your daily makeup routine.
The three major hot spots to score the best holiday makeup for a great price are Sephora, Ulta Beauty, and MAC Cosmetics.
MAC has amped up their Christmas spirit this season with the Nutcracker Sweet Collection. Their description of the collection, “Leap into a magical land that’s a bit nutty, a little naughty, bursting with whimsy. Lose yourself in an eccentric kingdom of oversized treats and rosy-cheeked nutcrackers. Twist, turn and tumble deeper into the Land of Dolls.
Our story has only begun…” This collection includes a lipstick that comes in five hues, six magic dust eyeshadows, two pigment powders, three eyeliners, and two magic dust powders. Shades of red, gold, and purple tie this collection together. The prices range from $17 to $28 dollars.
Next, Ulta beauty always has a great makeup deal and the holidays are no different. A really cute product for the holidays that could be used as a gift or even just as a holiday treat for yourself is their 12 Days of Beauty set. How they describe the product, “Ulta's 12 Days of Beauty is the perfect gift for yourself or any beauty enthusiast. Inside each box is a beauty surprise, featuring trendy and unique formulas designed to inspire your creativity!”
This set includes 1 Liquid Highlighter (0.03 oz), 1 Dazzling Lip Gloss (0.3 oz), 1 Tinted Lip Balm (0.13 oz), 1 Brow Pencil (0.03 oz), 1 Gold Glitter Mascara (0.04 oz), 1 Lip Gloss Stain (0.03 oz), 1 Inner Rim Eyeliner (0.03 oz), 1 Bouncy Blush (0.11 oz), 1 Foil Rock Eyeshadow (0.11 oz), 1 Gel Bounce Eyeshadow (0.06 oz), 1 Oil-free Eye Makeup Remover (15 ct), and 1 Temporary Tattoo Sheet. The cost of this adorable little box set is only $18.
Rather than having a blatant theme this holiday, Sephora has taken the opportunity to highlight some of it’s products that would make perfect gifts. They’ve also included holiday gift wrappings that will add the perfect amount of Holiday cheer to any gift.
Some of the beauty items they choose to highlight are best seller value sets such as the Sephora Collection More Than Meets The Eye Eyeshadow Palette ($36) and the Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayon Collection ($275). They also include stocking stuffer picks, some of them being the Stella McCartney POP Mini Gift Set ($27) and the Buxom 6 Degrees Below Sexy Mini Full-On Lip Polish Collection ($32). Getting all dolled up for the festivities this holiday should be a cinch.
