You might ask yourself, “Isn’t November 5 too early to be thinking about holiday shopping?” It’s a fair question, but when your job is to forecast beauty trends for all seasons, it’s never too early. That’s why I’m already thinking all about which beauty products should be at the top of your wish list this holiday season.
Below, I’ve curated the ultimate holiday gift guide for every beauty lover in your life. The picks range from luxe to extremely affordable, and they’re all from brands that are worth their salt. There’s something for everyone, spanning fragrance, haircare, skincare, and makeup. The best part? Everything is available on Amazon. Bookmark this page for all of your upcoming Black Friday shopping (we all know Amazon has the best Black Friday deals), and let the sale shopping begin. Many of these items already have great deals attached if you’re hoping to start your shopping a bit early, too.
