SWEATER (M - RUNS BIG) | LEGGINGS (XL - USE CARALYN10 FOR DISCOUNT) | SLIPPERS (11) | HOOPS

Holiday headquarters is officially in swing! Today I’m excited to share my top picks beauty products and skincare favorites. There is something for everyone at all price points. As your go-to gal, know that I own each of these items and/or plan on gifting them myself this holiday season. In case you missed it, I kicked off gift guides a few weeks ago with my favorite ways to support small businesses, gifts for the ladies in your life and BK’s picks for the guys.

A five-piece, limited-edition set (including four full-size products) of must-have skincare essentials to help you achieve visibly smooth, radiant, and hydrated skin. Good for dry, normal, combination, and oily skin.

A game-changing, limited-edition eye balm trio that delivers the ultimate holiday glow. All products are full-size & individually packed for easy gifting (or keep them all for yourself!). I LOVE using all of these, they all have different purposes. The pink might be my favorite though. Use CARALYN for a discount.

Spritz the bowl before you go and no one else will ever know! No joke, my dad gifts this to us every year. Poo~Pourri's secret formula works by creating a barrier on the water's surface - by trapping odor before it begins! Shop more gift sets for girls and guys here.

HANDS DOWN, the best dry shampoo - EVER. I toured their HQ and met the scientist who created this life-changing product. When used properly, it helps to keep hair cleaner, longer. You can watch my tutorial here!

Traditional hair ties can tug on delicate hair, which can lead to damage and breakage. I switched to these hair ties last year and refuse to use anything else. Each has a wide surface area and is designed to reduce those annoying ridges caused by regular hair scrunchies. Coming at around $40, they may not be something she would buy for herself. Which makes it the perfect gift!

A set of three top-rated, full-size mascaras to lift, lengthen, curl, and volumize your lashes—find your favorite or layer them for different looks!

This is the BEST hand and foot cream money can buy. Fun fact: I was so obsessed with these creams that I applied for a job at the L’occitane store out of college to get a discount (I did not get the job lol) but I still love the cream. It works really well and the moisture stays on ESPECIALLY after washing hands- great for 2020 or someone who works in healthcare, restaurant, etc. Also available on Amazon here.

I purchased this on Black Friday special last year and I’m shocked by how much I liked it. It makes an at-home blowout MUCH more attainable. This makes a great gift for the gal who likes to work smarter, not harder in the morning.

This may seem like an odd gift but if you know my passion and love for taking care of your properly fitting undergarments, you get it! You can read more about the importance of washing your delicates with a special fabric wash here. I use this wash on all of my bras, underwear, swimwear and even athletic wear. This wash comes in unscented, liquid and granular, they also have a specific one for athleisure here.

Not the most obvious gift but it would be a stellar stocking stuffer. I originally discovered this brand via my dentist a few years ago and went on to posting about my love for this brand here and here! It’s my little secret behind my pearly whites.

This is super random but I’ve felt like Golilocks on the hunt for the perfect medium size hair clip. Everything I’ve tried has been either too big or too small… these ones are just right. Hey— a win is a win, am I right? They’d make a good stocking stuffer!

 

Trish McEvoy Full-Size Mascara & Eyeliner Duo

A Nordstrom-exclusive, limited-edition eye-conic duo in full sizes that helps you achieve your most defined, long-lasting eye look.

Face Halo | Reusable Makeup Remover Pads

Hands down, my absolute FAVORITE razor. I think it is 110% worth the hype. Ridiculously smooth skin starts with a really good shave. 5 super sharp blades encased in charcoal aloe shave soap float across skin and curves. Pair with our Shave Cream and top it all off with their Dry-Bye Body Lotion for something less like a shave and more like an experience.

Galaxy Gorgeous Set

An out-of-this-world set that includes a full-size Bum Bum cream, a scrub, a mist, and a shower gel. All in the iconic scent of Cheirosa ‘62.

How’d I do? I hope this was helpful! Feel free to leave any questions or suggestions below and be sure to check out all previous gift guides on CaralynMirand.com here!
