Last Minute Gifts For Beauty Lovers
It's hard to believe that Christmas is now less than 8 days away—how did we arrive at the holiday season so quickly? But, here we are. It's time to check off those last-minute shopping lists and get wrapping. In curating this guide, I’ve aimed for some sort of restraint—selecting only the most precise gifts, paired with concise explanations to help you make the perfect choice. I’ve categorized these by price, recipient, and value, so whether you're a last minute shopper or simply someone who loves perusing a good gift guide (guilty as charged), there's something here for everyone.
