 With the holidays just around the bend, there's little time to pick up everything for the beauty gurus on your list. Since the economy is not at its best, the sets I have listed are affordable and absolutely glamourous. Have a beauty-ful holiday.
Happy Shopping! All of the gift sets are available on-line. *Are only available for a limited time.

1. Smashbox Enchantress Beauty Kit*      $45.00
Smashbox has seven great gift sets, one of my favorites being the Enchantress set. Complete with a silver pendant necklace (triple strand chain), Soft Lights quad in Aglow, Lipgloss in Protege, That's a Wrap Mascara in Black, Cream Eyeliner Duo in Caviar/Midnight Brown, and a Pewter multi-compartment zip up bag. This kit is perfect for on-the-go touch-ups and applications, and has everything one needs to look their best. 
2. Laura Mercier Mini Lip Glace Set*   $48.00
Lips are important. Dry, chapped lips just don't cut it, so to keep them hydrated and beautiful all day, Laura Mercier has created a must-have gloss set. With a variety of hues (ranging from a soft pink to a bronze quartz) your gift recipient will have the perfect shade for any outfit, time of day, or occasion. There are six (6) total mini glosses per pack. [When ordering online, type HOL25 to receive 25% off your purchase. Now through Jan. 10th]
3. NARS Orgasm Lips & Nails Set*    $32.00
NARS Orgasm line has been a cult favorite since its release, and now the beauty on your gift list can look as fierce as a couture runway model. Orgasm gloss and brand new Orgasm nail polish will put the "Oh" in their "Oh-So-Beautiful" look. The package comes in a custom-designed gift box, giving an extra something to the recipient. 
4. Chanel Essentials for Men*   $75.00
For the man (or men) on your gift list, give them the gift of timelessness with this limited edition travel kit from Chanel. This set is equipped with: Eau de Toilette, After Shave Moisturizer, and Hair & Body Wash, enveloped in a special gift box. 
5. Caroline Chu Superior Brushes Set*  $200.00   (was $350.00)
A contributing member to DivineCaroline is Caroline Chu. She has a fantastic array of beauty products for everyone, no matter your age, skin type, etc. I realize that this in particular is a bit pricey, but it's all about quality over price when it comes to brushes. Not only the seasoned makeup artists have/need high-quality tools. If the brushes fall apart easily, not only will you spend more, but the application will not go as smooth. This 14-piece set comes with every brush needed to create beautiful looks of all sorts. Remember that brushes can be multi-functional, so the possibilities are endless.
