Is there a beauty products junkie in your life? She’s sure to appreciate any of these classic, useful beauty gifts. They make great stocking stuffers, too! (Since we’re getting down to the wire, from here on out the gift guides will feature items that are easy to find in-person, not just online, so you can run out and get one on your lunch break. You’re welcome!)
Clinique Quickliner for Eyes
Line with one side, smudge with the other. Comes in amazing colors, and much nicer quality than a lot of those drug store brands.
Quickliner, $14.50 at Clinique counters
Rosebud Salve
I put this magic product in my mom and sister’s stockings one year, and now they get mad if I don’t do it every year. A perfect lip balm that also works great on dry skin, and to tame flyaways, and a million other uses.
Rosebud Salve, $5.59 at Drugstore.com and drugstores everywhere
Tweezerman Mini
Tread carefully or you risk of sending a “wow, your eyebrows are super bushy!” message with this one. But if you know she plucks already, you can’t beat the gold standard of tweezers.
Tweezerman Mini, $10-$12 at Ulta, Sephora and elsewhere
Fancy Hair Minis
My sister once got me a bunch of travel-sized bottles of fancy hair products I would have been too chicken to try myself. GREAT gift. Recommended: Ojon dry shampoo (pictured); Fekkai products.
Ojon travel-sized dry shampoo, $10 at Sephora
Laura Mercier Hand Cream
Everyone needs hand cream at this time of year. This is way nicer than the stuff she buys herself. It goes on smooth, absorbs quickly, and smells divine. (I recommend the Almond Coconut scent.)
Hand Cream, $15 at Bloomingdales and at department stores

Tweezerman is the BOMB!
