Gift Ideas!


Like I said in my last post, I absolutely love Christmas and one of my most favorite things about Christmas is giving. I love thinking of all of the things I want to get each person on my list and I especially love going out and shopping foreach gift. This year I'm on a budget since this is my first Christmas that I'm living on my own, but I didn't want that to effect the quality of the gifts I'm giving. I put together four make up bags for the younger girls in my family who are just starting to play around and get comfortable with makeup. So, to stay within budget, but still give things I know they will love, I decided to buy in bulk and then separate everything I got into little make up bags. I also scored with all of the sales going on right now as well!

Ulta was having a buy one get one 50% off sale on most of their drug store brands. With this sale, I bought four of the natural palettes by NYX and four Maybelline's The Falsies mascaras to put in each. I also bought the Benefit's Little Love Potions gift set (that you can grab here) which included 10 sample sizes of their best selling products to sneak in each bag! Then I just bought a nail polish to pop in each bag as well.

 In the first bag I chose to pair the hoola lip gloss and blush together. And the nail color by Sally Hansen is in the color Disco Ball.










                   



The second bag has the high beam highlighter and the bad gal lash mascara. This nail color is in the color Coin Flip.


The samples in the third bag are the Watt's Up cream highlighter and "that gal" brightening face primer and this nail color is called Strobe Light.


And lastly, in this bad I added the posietint lip & cheek stain along with this stay don't stray primer. And this nail polish is in the color Pink Satin.


These makeup bags are perfect for girls who are just starting to use makeup or for those who like experimenting and trying out new products. I hope this gave you some inspiration for giving this year. Happy giving and happy shopping!
