Review, Roundup, Trends: Best in Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance, Holiday Gift Guide 2016

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…and that means it’s time to shop your favorite beauty and skincare products to gift your family, friends (and yourself). We’ve rounded up and tested some of our favorite products. Check them out below!

Benefit Sassy Lassie Holiday Set, $39.

Included in the set are: Roller Lash, The Pore Professional, Hoola Bronzer, and Ka-Brow

The Pore Professional has to be one of my absolute favorite primers. My skin is very tricky, especially in the colder winter months. I have been using it for years and will make the perfect gift for your makeup loving gal pal.

Too Faced Christmas in New York Merry Macarons Set, $39.

Included in the set are: Better Than Sex Mascara, 12-piece Eyeshadow Palette

You can’t go wrong with the bestselling Better Than Sex Mascara! And I found that the mix of shimmer and matte eyeshadow shades were super pigmented and didn’t smudge at all throughout the day. It even comes with a handy step-by-step guide to achieve the perfect holiday makeup look. This a great little gift for a friend. (Shhh, I may just keep it for myself!)

Coach The Fragrance, $55.

Still looking for the perfect scent to give as a gift? Look no further! Coach presents its new signature fragrance – Coach the Fragrance. It bears the same name as the 2007 edition, but is definitely a completely different creation with composition and bottle. Coach the Fragrance is designed as a scent that will convey the spontaneous energy and cool vibe of New York City. According to Stuart Vevers, the creative director of the house, Coach The Fragrance is “a fragrance that represents Coach’s free-spirited attitude…a scent that is individual, authentic, and cool.”
