The holiday season is soon approaching and Christmas lists are filling up. So, stay tuned to BellaVitaStyle over the next few days as we deliver our favorite gifts that we spent hours surfing from all over the globe.
Our first installment is geared toward beauty lovers. Read on for our favorite gift for the girl who prefers Sephora to any other place and spends her time watching YouTube makeup tutorials! (Also, read our gift guide for fitness lovers!)
Claus Porto Deco Soap Gift Box (Set of 9) – $75.00
We love this soap set from Claus Porto for so many reasons. First, it is just visually stunning because of the patterns on each of its wrappers. Each soap has its own pattern and scent, with nine total ones in the set ranging from lavender scents to mint. The soaps are blended with shea butter, and are all inspired by old labels.
The set is super versatile. It could make a greta hostess gift this holiday season, or the perfect gift under the tree for someone who loves entertaining at home or having house guests. It’s pretty and practical and has a great price point.
PMD Smart Facial Cleaning Brush — $99
Skincare is such an important part of my beauty regime, so I was thrilled to find this PMD brush. This smart facial brush exceeds 7,000 vibrations per minute. This movement helps it break down oil and dirt deep in the skins surface. You can also use the brush to massage serums into the skin to focus on anti aging.
SiO Skincare Line – $24.95
We are all about giving the gift of self care, and the SiO range does just that. :Let’s start with their brow lift pack, which is applied while and works while you are sleeping, and is great for getting rid of those odd wrinkles and making your eye brows have that perfect arch! Great for a friend into skin care – especially their brows.
Their eye & smile lift ($29.95) will help you say goodbye to those eye wrinkles and laugh lines. This is great for a friend who is into skincare and wants to reduce the sign of her wrinkles and step up her skincare regimen. This goes onto your face overnight into morning, waking up fresh and better than ever!
Lastly, their decollete serum is known as the powerhouse option for getting rid of wrinkles. This will enhance your skin by smoothing out your wrinkles, firming them, plumping, and hydrates the skin. This would be a great stocking stuffer!
Morphe James Charles Eyeshadow Palette – $39.00
This is the hot new eye shadow palette that everyone is waiting to get their hands on. This Morphe James Charles palette has a wide range of shades – neutral and bright. It’s also at a very reasonable price point given the number of shades that are included.
Decorte Slim & Firm Concentrate Masks, $180
This time of year we spend our time flitting in and out of holiday parties, sipping on copious amounts of champagne and not drinking nearly enough water. That unfortunately takes its toll on our skin, which is why I was so excited to find these Decorté Slim and Firm Concentrate face masks ($180). This three-piece mask plumps and firms the upper part of your face while helping to reinstate the contouring of the lower part of your face. It’s exactly what you need after a few back-to-back nights out. We tried it after being over served, and it brightens your skin while firming it, making you look well rested and hydrated. You really can’t put a price on that.

This bag set is a great combination for a makeup lover, and itself would be a great gift for a friend! This gives a combination of different products from a great brand – and the bag comes in different festive colors, too!
CHI for ULTA Beauty 5 Piece Interchangeable Curl Set – $89.99
For someone who is into hair, this set is a great option for a gift! I love curling my hair for everyday errands, heading to class, or going to a special event and I want this set for myself! Having different head options for the wand gives a woman different styling curls to choose from.
Ursa Major Traveler’s Skin Care Set, $41
We also adore Ursa Major’s Traveler’s Skin Care Set ($41), which has everything you need for your vacations and business trips. It comes with face wash, face tonic, 4-in-1 face wipes and face balm. The packaging is super cute, and all of the products are bite-sized, meaning you can pack them in your carry ons. Added bonus: Ursa Major uses natural ingredients, eliminating synthetic chemicals and toxins, meaning you can feel good while making yourself look great. Also, we loved that when we opened up the box, the packaging had an adorable festive ski lift scene on it.
