FMM's Holiday Beauty Gift Guide

Wednesday, December 12, 2012


It's that time of year again! Ahhh the beautiful sounds of the season are everywhere... the red cup is finally back and adorned by many Starbucks lovers.  'Tis the season for family, gifts, laughter and fun!  Well, that's all wonderful and dandy but lets face it... holidays can be STRESSFUL!  My girls just celebrated their 5th birthday and between planning that, recovering from Thanksgiving, decorating, sending out holiday cards and checking off all the people on my 'gift giving' list is making me seriously hyperventilate!  So, i thought I'd help you all out by sharing some of my favorite things with all of you in hopes that you can find some 'gift giving' inspiration for the special people in your lives.  I'll spend the next week or so dedicating my posts to all your holiday shopping needs! 

So here are a few of my favorite 'beauty' gifts to grace your favorite beauty mavens with!


I'm obsessed with Baublebar's collaboration with Essie!  Look at these amazing sets!!  I totally hope I'll have one of these in my stocking this year!

I completely fell in love with the Kate Spade NY 'Sprinkles' mini set!  Isn't it just delish?

I'm professed my love for Sheswai polish before here, but I'm crossing my fingers and toes that Santa sends me Winesnob and Rootsy!  I'm head over heels with both shades!!! 



I recently added Snow Angel Color Palette & Stay All Day™ Waterproof Volumizing Mascara to my collection and am completely smitten by the combination of delectable shimmers and stunning mattes!  At a mere $28 currently at Sephora, you can't afford not gift this beauty... heck at this price, you might as well snatch one up for yourself!  It's a total steal and an absolute must have!




I've adorned my lips with Stila glosses for years and years now!  Not only do they look great but they feel wonderful on my lips!  This pretty little set will delight even your pickiest of mavens! 


I just love Benefit cosmetics!  This 'She's So... Jetset" set looks uhhh-mazing!  Perhaps Santa will leave this cutie under the tree... for meeee!

I'm a huge fan of Urban Decay Palettes!  You've heard me chat about the Smoked Palette... even did a smokey eye tutorial!  I love my Naked 2 palette (still have to purchase the first Naked palette).  The Naked Basics palette by Urban Decay looks stunning!  So perfect for those days where you want to highlight your best features without overpowering them!  I. WANT. NOW.
If you're searching for the bomb bang diggity of eye cream, look no further!  This is a MUST on your list!  I'm a HUGE fan of Naturopathica products but this Vitamin K Brightening Eye Serum is like nothing I've every EVER tried before!  Go ahead and add it to your list!

OK so i love NARS anything really, but every time i walk past this pretty "foreplay" palette, i play with it a little, perhaps give it a sniff or two and then put it back and walk on.... still... thinking about it and wishing it was mine!  This stunner has definitely been added to my list!


Well, i could chat beauty all day long!  There are so many other products I'd love to feature here but for now, I'll leave you with these.  Stay tuned for more holiday gift giving posts featuring my favorite accessories and fashion finds!  Thank you SO MUCH for reading!  Don't forget to become an official follower of FMM!  XOXO Carla
