TBF's Holiday Gift Guide: BEST OF BEAUTY

There's nothing more exciting than shopping for friends & family.
However, we've all had those holiday shopping days at the mall, when you
emerge 9 hours later, empty-handed, semi-battered & 100% discouraged.
Lucky for you, I've decided to take the guess work out of your
shopping for all the beauty lovers in your life.

Here are my picks for BEST IN BEAUTY, Holidays, 2009.
Perfect for those on your list who love, love, love beauty.
Also a great 'subtle' hint to those who may need some
extra help in the glam department...
Rude? No!
Considerate? Yes!

Hit it!

I. MAKEUP PALETTES

NARS Everlasting Love,
15th anniversary makeup palette
for dramatic smoky eyes & nude lips
all you need to be glamtastic year round!
NARS has the MOST pigment in their colors,
thereby making them the best...hands down.
$75, Nordstrom & Saks

Bobbi Brown, Earth Metal Lip & Eye Palette
The eye colors are heavenly, mix & match 'til your
heart's content, then you get to mix your own gloss.
What on earth is better??
$60, Bloomingdale's

II. MAKEUP BAGS

Tori Burch
Cheetah-Print Cosmetics Case
Reminds me of the LV stole I'm currently obsessed with.
$75, Bloomingdales


Henri Bendel
Heritage Label, Large Makeup Bag
I've had my Bendels brown/white striped makeup case
for years. They make the BEST cosmetics cases!
$55

III. MAKEUP BRUSHES

Shu Uemera Compact Brush Set
Includes the following brushes: blush, eye shadow, lip/eye liner, concealer/foundation.
Shu is known for their luxurious & exquisite brushes.
Treat yourself to one, too!
$55, Sephora
or

Bobbi Brown: The Basic Brush Collection
6 fabulous brushes: Concealer, Foundation, Face Blender,
Eye Shadow, Eye Liner and Eye Brow
1 amazing case...
There's absolutely nothing missing from this,
except the skilled hand you need to apply it all.
practice, practice, practice!
 Bloomingdales, $175

IV. SCENTS

Yves Saint Laurent, Parisienne
light, sweet, fresh
$85 / 3.0 oz
Neiman Marcus, Saks
*on my list*

Juicy Couture, Viva La Juicy
$85 / 3.4 oz.
Delish.
Saks, Neiman, etc.

DIOR, Miss Dior Chérie
$92 / 3.4 oz.
If you've seen the commercial for this {by Sofia Coppola}
there's no way you won't love it!
Sephora

Happy Hunting & Happy Gifting, loves!
xoxo,
TBF
