I have yet to meet a woman who completely hates all beauty items; it’s just a matter of finding those items that really do appeal to everyone. That’s what inspired this gift guide. From beauty mavens who have their finger on the pulse of the industry, to tomboys whose makeup routines consist of sunscreen and chap stick, every woman will enjoy these beauty finds.
Is there someone on your “to gift” list who still doesn’t have a Clarisonic? If so, this is the year to buy! Clarisonic just introduced the Mia First, an entry-level version of their sonic facial cleaning device that comes at an entry-level price.
Not every woman thinks she needs a sonic facial cleaning brush, but every woman I’ve met who has tried it has instantly fallen in love with the deep clean feel and amazing results.

With all of the cloying food-inspired scents and overbearing floral fragrances dominating the stores, it’s hard to find a bath and body product fragrance that is sure to appeal to a particular gift recipient. But, Philosophy’s Fresh Cream is a soft, very slightly sweet scent that will be pleasing to all but the absolute most scent-adverse.
This adorably packaged set includes both a body lotion and Philosophy’s much loved Shampoo, Shower Gel, Bubble Bath combo product.
