The Best Gifts to Buy Beauty Lovers

Urban Decay Double Dose All Nighter Setting Spray Holiday Makeup Set Duo

This duo of powerhouse setting sprays will keep your makeup smudge-free and transfer-proof for up to 16 hours — perfect for a long day or big nights out. The lightweight, refreshing finish feels cooling and makes every makeup look appear freshly applied for hours. Plus, if you can’t decide between gifting the duo or keeping it for yourself, you can always separate the pair — we promise we won’t tell!

There’s a Matrix gift set for every hair type, from curly (pictured here) to fine, color-treated and lacking in moisture. Each set comes complete with a shampoo, conditioner and styling product that will leave you or loved one with lush, envy-inducing hair all holiday season.

NYX Professional Makeup Pull-to-Sleigh Surprise Makeup Box

Give the gift of novelty with this cute and whimsically packaged surprise makeup box. With a pull of the candy-colored tab, out will tumble 14 of NYX Professional Makeup’s best-selling, limited-edition makeup products. It’s the perfect present for the person who has it all and craves variety in their beauty gifts.

The holographic travel bag comes packed with mini versions of some of Carol’s Daughter’s most moisturizing hair products, including the Goddess Strength shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in treatment, plus the Mimosa Hair Honey Defining Hair Pomade. This is a must-have kit for taking care of curls this winter.
