There are so much great gifts for women this year, I will be dividing the guide into two. Part one of the FASHION+LIFESTYLE 2012 HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE: GIFTS OF BEAUTY FOR WOMEN is all about what makes her beautiful. Gift sets from fragrance and beauty companies usually sells well during the end of year holiday season and there’s a very good reason for that: This allows women (and men) to sample new fragrances and beauty products without having to financially commit to a full-size bottle or said fragrance and/or lipstick and eyeshadow. The following gifts sets are at the top of my list. I also threw some potential beauty stocking stuffers as well. Enjoy.
Elizabeth Arden CERAMIDE PLUMP PERFECT ULTRA LIFT FIRM MOISTURE HOLIDAY SET
Luxurious shadows, enchanting scents and chic packaging makes the new, ELIZABETH ARDEN HOLIDAY GIFT SETS, a must-haves this season. Every woman looking for simple solutions to reverse signs of aging would be thrilled to receive the new CERAMIDE PLUMP PERFECT ULTRA LIFT / FIRM MOISTURE HOLIDAY SET ($80.00). Complete with MOISTURE CREAM SPF 30, ULTRA RESTORATIVE CAPSULES, ALL NIGHT REPAIR & MOISTURE CREAM and EYE CREAM SPF 15, this gift set will allow her to be the absolute best she can be. For the woman who flourishes in floral, ELIZABETH ARDEN’s PRETTY HOLIDAY SET ($55.00) is the perfect stocking stuffer. Included in this fashionable package is the floral Eau de Parfum Spray and Body Lotion. Travel size items are also included in this stylish gift set.
Elizabeth Arden 2012 Holiday Gift Set – Green Tea Holiday Set
The GREEN TEA HOLIDAY VALUE SET ($40.00 and my favorite gift set from this group) is ideal for anyone looking for a subtle scent of energy and freshness in light Spray and ultra-moisturizing Shower Gel and Body Lotion. What I liked best about this gift set is that men can also enjoy the products in this gift set. The light Spray has a floral/spicy mix that I truly loved, and the shower gel and lotion is equally unisex enough for men to try and love them. This gift set delivers revitalizing ingredients without stripping skin of natural oils.
