It's the peak of the holiday season, and we all know what that means; prime gift-buying time. This year we'll do anything to feel an ounce of normalcy, and it's why many women have pivoted to purchasing beauty products and home decor instead of high heels and outerwear. For the beauty lover in your life, look to our curated below guide for the best in mascaras, gift sets, perfume kits, and more.
Must. Have. All. Of. These. Bags. No but seriously, how beautiful is this luxe bag collection from Tyler Alexandra?! Even better, my style muse Giorgia Tordini stars in and styled the lookbook. Lose your mind (and this month's rent) over the collection here and here.
I never in a million years thought I'd be crushing on a bright matte orange lipstick, but this editorial has me hooked on this beauty look. It's perfect worn with a fresh face.
Love the fresh green eyeliner at Stella McCartney S/S 2013! All credit goes to beauty guru Pat McGrath, who gave the models' clean faces a pop of color using this jade CoverGirl eyeliner.
From the shiny hair, bold brows and thick lashes to the shimmering statement ear cuff, I can't help but crush on all the stunning details of this glam beauty look.
Currently crushing on Covergirl's how-to videos featuring French singer and actress, Soko. Her song I'll Kill Her has been one of my favorites ever since college, so I was happy to see her featured- loving her newly bleached hair!
Covergirl used their new Flamed Out collection to give Soko four different beauty looks- the sleek glossy eye and the bold lip above, plus a smoky eye and a no-make up look. I can't decide which I like the most, they are all styled so great as well. Which look is your favorite?

Obsessed with the dreamy glitter cat-eye at Chanel F/W 2013! Kinda makes me want to do this for my wedding, but just a little more subtle, without any on my eyelashes.

This shot of Jane Birkin embodies everything I love about summer beauty and style: a fresh face, effortless hair, simple jewelry, an easy breezy white dress and can't forget a smile.
I know I am late to the party on this, but just came across these backstage beauty shots from Stella McCartney's F/W 2011 show + had to share- Love those bold blue lashes! I'm thinking of trying this out with this Dior mascara. Question is, will I have the guts to go out with it on...
ps- How great does a blue lash look on Sabrina of AfterDrk?!
