Last Minute Gift Guide for Her

Tis the season to decorate Christmas trees, build snowmen and for GIVING! If you need a last minute present for your bestie, sister or daughter, look no further. Today's post is about two safe last minute gifts: jewelry and cosmetics!

The first category we are going to discuss is a lady necessity, Jewelry. Let's be honest here, jewelry is always a safe last minute go-to gift. 
One popular trend lately is stacking jewelry; whether it is rings, necklaces, or my favorite-bracelets, stacking jewelry is an instant way to make a statement. 
ALEX AND ANI bangles are the perfect way to embrace this jewelry trend. Alex and Ani make great stocking stuffers because each bracelet has a meaning and contains an inspirational message. Forewarning though, once you purchase one, you will want 40 (no lie). 

My favorites?

Quill Feather Wrap -$58 {not all are this expensive, but I love it}
Born to Be Something Charm Bracelet- $28 {see told you, this one is way more affordable}

Look how cute they look stacked: 

Alex and Ani have sorority, initial, birthstone and team bangles as well. They have so many different ones that you have to check it out yourself! Look on the website to see if a retailer near you carries Alex and Ani, you might be surprised. 

Okay, moving on...another fabulous gift idea for any woman is a state love ring. You can go for the state they grew up in, fell in love in, got their first job in...whatever the reason might be. DreamingTreeCreation on Etsy can make any state and each ring comes with a heart (hence the love).

Boho inspired jewelry is all the rage lately and a Gold Arrowhead necklace is a prime way to incorporate boho accents into your collection. ONLY $12.

First I want to discuss a new holy grail foundation that I have discovered, BARE SKIN Brightening Foundation by Bare Minerals. You can purchase it at any beauty retailer such as Ulta, Sephora etc. If you buy this for a beauty lover make sure you also get the brush. They will love this foundation because the finish is dewy and bright, hence "brightening" in the name.

Up next is the perfect holiday eyeshadow palette by Smashbox-
Mini Full Exposure Palette, $22. A make up lover is bound to love this palette because it contains 4 beautiful neutrals and 4 complimenting shimmer shadows.

Now let's talk about eyeliner, which is a necessity to most beauty gurus. Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner is top of the spectrum, but tends to be more on the pricy side (when individually purchased). Well try getting ten 24/7 Glide On eyeliner pencils for the price of 5?! That's right, only available online at Ulta for only $58, you get 10 colorful eyeliners in the UD Glide On Pencil Set. If your beauty lover likes to experiment with color, this gift is a win-win.

Lastly, if your beauty lover is also a manicure enthusiast then a Gel Top Coat polish or a Professional LED Light will be the cherry on top of her Christmas.
