TheBeautySection
Me too girl, and that is a TON of nail polish!! :)
Anna @ Fresh The Blog
I can already think of multiple people some of these would be great for! Sets are great because they have so many different goodies to sample :)
I’m big on “experience” gifts, but for Christmas, I often like to give something that’s a mix of useful and enjoyable. Makeup is a good example of that! Too functional is boring, so this is a good middle ground! Great ideas here!
TheBeautySection
Haha good, hopefully this list will help you get those gifts bought! You are right sets are good because they are usually a good variety in them so you can try many things from the brand. Yea makeup is totally functional and fun and it makes a great gift, or I really love receiving it anyway haha! Thanks so much!! :)
Erika Madden
I love these. So simple, and who doesn’t love to receive gifts like these?! Thank you. :)
TheBeautySection
Haha I know I would most definitely love gifts like these, of course!! Thanks for stopping by! :)
Sarah (@12TwentySeven)
Oh man, oh man! My sister would LOVE this list! I love all of the nail polish sets–they are awesome!
TheBeautySection
Oh yea, give her the link to this then…or keep it on the DL and get her something from this list for Christmas! haha! The nail polish sets do look so great, everyone knows I don’t need this! :)
brooke elise (@__brookeelise)
great post, Anna! The Too Faced and Urban Decay palette are very nice, and I plan to pick up the Give Me More Lip set this week!

TheBeautySection
Thank you!! I gotta get the Give Me More Lip, it looks amazing! Maybe someone will get it for me! :)
Camille
Awesome ideas! I am so due for a new eye palette.
TheBeautySection
Thank you! Any of the ones I mentioned are great, or any UD Naked palette if you don’t already have that. Also the IT Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Palette is amazing, I will be doing a review of it soon! Eye palettes are so fun!!
Jenna @ A Savory Feast
These are really good ideas! I am wishing for a pallette this year, maybe a Naked one. I love the holiday gift sets that you can get from Bath and Body Works or Ulta. They are an affordable and fun gift idea. I got a really cool make-up set from Ulta for my cousin last year.
TheBeautySection
Thank you! Definitely put one of the Naked Palettes on your wish list, they are really good palettes that you can get SO much use out of. Yea Bath and Body always has great sets and have since I was like in Middle School haha, and Ulta definitely does too, some of the ones I listed were from Ulta. Every time I go into Ulta this time of year I just want to buy all of these sets for myself!! Haha! :)
Daisy @ Simplicity Relished
Oh you nailed it with the beauty products!! Lately I’ve enjoyed receiving “experiences” as gifts… for my birthday, my husband took me up to the Central Coast of CA and we stayed in a yurt! It was so fun. But seriously, these are all great products, Anna!
TheBeautySection
Thank you so much!! Oh my goodness, I have been wanting to stay in a yurt for a long time now, that sounds like the best experience and a really great idea for a gift! :)
Sarah (@12TwentySeven)
Anna! There are yurts in Asheville, NC–not too far away from you, I reckon! :)
TheBeautySection
Oooo cool, not too far at all! There are actually some closer to South GA too, but I just haven’t made the trip to stay in one. :)
ashley
I would love the NYX palette. Or ANY of the Urban Decay ones. Both have super pigmented colors! Also, I love the brand Philosophy especially around the holidays! They have awesome bath & body products!
TheBeautySection
Oh yea any of the Urban Decay palettes are really great, they all have really good colors with rich pigments. I was actually going to include Philosophy but kind of wanted to include some brands that people may not really know a lot about yet! I agree they have really great bath products, and they smell amazing!! :)
Megan Sybrant
These are great ideas! Lush is one of my favorite stores. never thought of getting gifts from there!
TheBeautySection
Thank you!! Oh yea they have great gifts, way more than the 1 I listed. They have them for pretty much every Holiday too, and birthdays! So fun!! :)
