2013 Holiday gift guide: For beauty lovers

Can you believe Christmas is only 36 days away? Over the next few weeks, I will be showcasing a ton of great items for everyone on your shopping list. This week’s gift guide is for all beauty lovers out there. I actually own everything mentioned in this post. I call these my "holy grails". They have stood the test of time. I stand by these products and would highly recommend them. If you’d like a detailed review of any of these items, just leave me a comment.


1. Clarisonic Mia cleansing system: I have been using my Clarisonic for almost 3 years and never had any problem with it. It is the most important thing in my skincare routine. I use it every other day with the Shiseido Purifying Cleansing Foam.
2. Chanel Chance: This is my favorite daytime fragrance particularly because the scent is clean and fresh without being overpowering.
3. Urban Decay De-slick makeup setting sprayAfter I apply my makeup, I spray this product 2 times to keep my makeup stay put. It keeps my skin looking matte all day and controls oil.
4. Urban Decay Naked 2 paletteWhen it comes to makeup, I truly believe less is more. The Naked 2 palette is my go-to palette. It has all the shades I need to create daily neutral looks. Urban Decay is releasing the third version of its popular Naked palette in a few weeks. What are your thoughts?
5. Shiseido purifying cleanser: This product leaves my skin squeaky-clean without drying it out. It lathers really well and not to mention the scent is amazing. This cleanser does not have the brightening effect.
