I love the holidays. For me, it's all about giving! But when you're on a budget, it can be a bit challenging to find the perfect gift without seeming too cheap. My top beauty gift picks below are affordable and look more expensive than they truly are. These are great gifts to give or put on your own wish list! Happy Browsing!
Spadaro Fine Fragrances
Spadaro Fine Fragrances are a luxury line of fragrances inspired by different destinations visited by founder Kim Spadaro bringing to life a moment in time experienced by her. By carrying out her vision to develop Spadaro Fragrances, she is able to bottle up her own memories drop by drop into exotic and sensual perfumes as a way to keep the experience alive. I love the sampler set as a gift idea because it lets you sample each of the scents before committing to your favorite (the larger fragrance sizes are a bit pricey.) For $20 you will receive 3 mini spray vials containing 2 mL of the following fragrances:
Noche Del Fuego: Bergamot gains unexpected depth when mixed with patchouli and an exotic blend of sandalwood, vanilla and honey spiked with paprika and saffron and the warm/cool exhilarating rush of black pepper.
Doux Amour: A rare blend of floral essences – ylang ylang, Casablanca lily and Moroccan jasmine – wrapped in a sultry, sueded accord of patchouli, rare amber sandalwood, and laced with a sheer veil of vanilla.
SOLE NERO: Italian citrus notes — Grapefruit, Orange, and Lemon — enveloped by Honey, Musk, Sandalwood and Frankincense.
This sampler set is available in select boutiques in Florida, Nordstroms nationwide, and through Spadaro's website.

The Beauty Molecule
I'm really excited about The Beauty Molecule from the Fountain line. Fountain is a beauty supplement offering water-soluable forms of proven health and beauty nutrients in an easy-to-take liquid format. The Beauty Molecule is a liquid supplement containing a high concentration of Resvertrol which is found in the skin of red grapes. Studies have shown that Resveratrol offers the longevity effects of calorie restriction, is a strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory and promotes normal cell division. In a nutshell, this supplement promotes health, youth and longevity with every spoonful. Oh and did I mention it's vegan-friendly and pomegranate flavored?! There are many other Molecules available including the Happy Molecule, Hair Molecule, Collagen Molecule, Geek Molecule and Energy Molecule promoting many other beauty and health benefits in this award-winning line of products. This particular one retails for $28 and can be purchased through their website or BeautyBar.com. (P.S. - Look for my review of this product in a few days!)

Caffeinated Shaving Cream
I love my caffeine so anything containing that word has got my attention. From the Pacific Shaving Company, the Caffeinated Shaving Cream & Aftershave Moisturizer Set is the perfect unisex gift to give this holiday season. I'm sure you're thinking caffeine and shaving cream? Caffeine is already a "go-to" ingredient in many women's cosmetics from eye creams and anti-aging lotions to concealers and moisturizers. Caffeine is an effective vasoconstrictor and antioxidant that helps reduce the appearance of redness and keeps your skin looking and feeling healthy. What are the benefits of a caffeinated shave? It is high in antioxidants so it helps keep skin looking and feeling healthy. It is a vasoconstrictor which helps reduce redness and soothe skin. It can penetrate skin and absorb into your blood which allows you to start your morning with a kick! Plus, it is vegan- friendly, made it organic ingredients and does not include any synthetic fragrances which makes it perfect for men and women! (Did you know this product was featured in Allure, on Good Morning America, and the Queen Latifah Show?! -- P.S. Look for my review on this product in a few days!) This combo retails for $15.99 on their website.  |

Harper Hallam
Harper Hallam is a new jewelry line that launched about two months ago. Rebecca, the designer, is highly inspired by far-away destinations and the images they evoke. As an entrepreneur, mother and artist with 12 years of design experience, Rebecca collaborates with expert artisans on two continents to craft limited-edition jewelry collections for women just like her. Whether traveling to crystal blue coasts, enjoying the company of friends over cocktails or relaxing casually with family, Harper Hallam jewelry is made for every woman and for every occasion. The jewelry is sold at Elaine Turner Boutiques throughout Texas, Tennessee and New York City or online at harperhallam.com. My favorite piece is the Avena necklace which I'd add to my "Lottery Wish List" for when I hit the lottery because it's a bit out of my price range, but nonetheless, it's beautiful. If you have a higher budget set for gifts, definitely check out their site for more choices.  |
