Beauty gift ideas for her 2022

Beauty gift ideas for her from top left: fragrance / makeup bag / holiday nail polish / body butter / hairdryer set / foundation powder / Chanel perfume / eye pencil set / Lancome perfume / lip gloss set /

There is always at least one beauty fan on our holiday shopping list! For your beauty fan, these are a few fabulous gifts she will love to receive this holiday season.

The eye pencil set contains neutrals which will work well with most skin tones. I own all three of these fragrances and I am sure the fragrance fan on your list will love them! Not sure which one to pick? Chanel No.5 is a classic that everyone should have in their fragrance wardrobe. I highly recommend choosing it to give this holiday season.

If you are afraid to give color or scent, this makeup bag is a fabulous choice for the beauty fan. It has a removeable brush insert and is extremely high quality. I am addicted to mine! It would make a great gift, and it is priced under $100, love that!

Of course, you can’t go wrong with holiday nail polish! It is priced well under $50, love!

Sweater weather and flare jeans

wearing: sunglasses / hoop earrings (under $100) / cozy sweater / holiday nail polish / hobo handbag / G buckle belt / flare jeans (under $100, avl in short, reg., tall lengths) / suede boots /

It’s finally sweater weather! I purchased this sweater back in July, and I have been patiently waiting for the weather to cool enough so I could wear it. It has been so cool lately; this sweater was ready to be worn! Love!

There is nothing like a soft and cozy sweater on a cool fall day. I love this sweater since it has a loose fit and the turtleneck keeps my neck warm. I wear a thin, long sleeve tee underneath and it is perfect in this cold weather. I am looking forward to wearing this cozy sweater throughout the fall, holiday and winter seasons. I might pick up another one to give as a gift this holiday season. This cozy, turtleneck sweater would make a fabulous holiday gift!

Since flare jeans are a hot item this season, I paired my sweater with my new flare jeans. These jeans are also comfortable, and I am thankful they are short length. If you have been following along, you know I am short, and you know how hard it is to find flare jeans in shorter lengths. Hemming regular length flare jeans does not work out too well for the silhouette of the jeans! In short length, the pants are proportioned perfectly for my shorter legs. If you are not short, but love these jeans, they also come in regular and tall lengths. Love that!

I wore this outfit the other day while gathering gift ideas on Santana Row and enjoying lunch at “It’s Dumpling Time!” If you are local, and you have not eaten here, be sure to stop in! The food is yummy.

I have decided this is my favorite sweater, and I plan to wear it often throughout the cold weather seasons. Do you have a favorite sweater you are looking forward to wearing throughout the fall, holiday, and winter seasons too?
