1. A gorgeous cruelty-free and vegan green créme nail polish for getting you in the mood for cozy fall nights and that "sipping hot chocolate by the fireplace" mood. It's a one-step polish (meaning you don't need a base coat or topcoat) and has Argan oil, pro vitamin B5, and vitamin C for stronger nails!
2. A cruelty-free peach lip balm to keep their lips smooth and soothed this season. With natural fruit extracts like peach (of course) and strawberry, a sweet peach scent, and the cute bear packaging to top it off, they'll find this gift absolutely ~peachy~!
3. A moringa flower body butter because it feels rich and lovely on your skin and smells absolutely heavenly. They can spend all their evenings pampering their skin with it until it's as soft as can be.
4. A soft silicone brush that'll really get into their pores and deeply cleanse, massage, and exfoliate without irritating. It foams up nicely and the funny jellyfish shape will make their routine even more fun!
5. A Switzerland-themed eyeshadow palette to take them to the Swiss Alps this winter. The elegant cool-toned shades ranging from lush greens to soft violets will be perfect to dress up any holiday look.
6. Or a pigmented mini eyeshadow palette for the person who's always on the go and has no time for complicated blending and too many shades to choose from. With three neutral colors in matte, shimmer, and glitter finishes, half the work's already done for them!
7. An Innisfree hand cream that smells like you've entered a fresh laundry guesthouse! The long-lasting scents are so unique and pleasant that they'll want to keep applying. Whether you think they'll want their hands to smell like autumn rain, a wedding bouquet, or the above-mentioned laundry, there's a scent for them!
8. A Mango Popsicle sheet mask because it's the perfect sweet treat for their face. It uses real mango (yum), ginger, licorice, and more to target hyperpigmentation and dullness, boosting radiance while nourishing and soothing. Aren't you mango-ing to order this now?
9. A Soap and Glory gift set for clean, soft skin after every shower! The shower gel is made with natural mandarin peel and has a built-in body lotion for hydration, and the whole thing smells like rose and bergamot. Luxurious indeed!
10. A Pattern mini wide tooth comb great for quick curl styling. (Psst! This is Tracee Ellis Ross' haircare line!!) It works on wet or dry hair, helping to detangle while encouraging volume and separation, resulting in a happy head and healthy locks.
11. An Egg Mellow Cream that works overtime as a six-in-one — it's a firming cream, serum, priming moisturizer, neck cream, eye cream, and sleeping mask! What all this means is that their skin will be bouncy, resilient, and well-moisturized. It's so egg-cellent, they won't look at another moisturizer again.
12. A makeup sponge shaped like an egg bun with a face since it's much more fun to use one like that than those basic faceless ones. Give their makeup tools some character!
13. A pack of Cosrx pimple patches that they can slap onto those pesky zits that just have to appear right before Christmas. I swear by this brand, and these patches are both effective and fast. Just leave it on overnight and get ready to enter a new week with clearer skin.
14. An inexpensive but effective Etude House lash serum to nourish for healthier and stronger lashes! Plus, applying this along your eye line helps soothe your delicate eye area from heavy makeup and liner as well.
15. A light and creamy Glossier Milky Jelly Cleanser that'll balance and soften skin with ingredients so gentle it's even safe for your eyes. They'll never have to deal with that tight, stripped feeling that's common after using a face wash. Sounds like a dream!
16. A Saturday Skin sheet mask to help them achieve luminous skin for the holidays. This nourishes with supercharged but gentle antioxidants, and there's so much serum inside they can use it for their neck or save it for later. You'll stock up on these so quick!
17. A lavender calming bar that uses real lavender petals that you can see around the soap to gently exfoliate while anti-bacterial properties temper inflammation and irritation. They get a deluxe soothing experience and softer skin!
18. A carbonated clay mask because it foams and bubbles up a lot, making them look super silly. (I think it makes everyone look like an elephant.) But it's not all for show — it does its work too, exfoliating, clearing pores, and giving skin a serious cleanse.
19. An Epsom bathing salt soak with white willow and eucalyptus to help soothe their tiredness and clear your head. It has a relaxing, refreshing scent and will re-energize them!
20. A cult-fave Elizavecca hair protein treatment to restore the purity of their hair. It helps with oil control, frizziness, damaged hair, the works! It's lightweight too so no heavy ingredients involved.
21. A Maybelline Matte Liquid Lipstick that'll really make a statement and dress them up, even when the rest of them is dressed down. And because it pretty much never comes off, they don't have to keep reapplying 😉.
22. A classic Smith's Rosebud Lip Balm for its vintage and aesthetically-pleasing vibe that makes it a great stocking stuffer. Besides hydrating the lips, they can use this for color on their cheeks and eyes, to soothe cuticles, and more!
23. A hydrating mist to breathe life back into dry, thirsty curls and coils, and protect them from environmental stressors with essential ingredients like aloe vera and avocado oil. Plus, it'll helps them go longer between wash days!
24. A pack of oil-blotting sheets made with natural bamboo charcoal to whisk away the oil on their entire face anytime, anywhere, any day. The sheets are soft, don't disturb makeup, and come with 100 in a pack so they last forever. Just blot and you'll be good as new!
25. A multi-use Nature Republic Soothing Aloe Vera Gel that feels nothing but refreshing on skin. Whether they have acne, inflammation, sunburn, or even shaving irritation, they can use this for immediate relief and hydration. It soothes where you need it to — it's literally in the name!
26. A Clinique lipstick duo in two lovely colors that merge transparent pigment with the natural tone of their lips to create their own unique shade that complements them! How cool is that?
