About the Author: Carleen Coulter

Lip palettes are the perfect solution for a variety of gift giving needs. They often fit in stockings, are great for an affordable small gift, or can be packaged with other beauty items to make a nice beauty gift box.  Pick up a few items, put them in a tissue covered holiday box or bag, and you are ready to go! Here are a few neat holiday lip items that any woman would love.

With the onset of winter, lip balm and gloss see higher than normal use and the Ulta 10 Piece Mini Lip Gloss Set is perfect for anyone on a budget. At $14.99, it offers a great selection of glosses in a cute little set.

For a bit of everything, the Sephora Favorites, Give Me Some Lip Set consists of  six best selling lip items. This is great for a wrapped gift, as the box is a nice gift size.

For a nice stocking stuffer, grab the Korres Lip Butter Trio. This set of three natural lip balms is great for winter lip care.

As a small gift of for a stocking the Bare Minerals Keychain Kisses set is an adorable and unique gift.

For a bit of luxury, try the Nars Kudoki Kabuki set. This pretty little box of lip pots comes with a unique brush and exclusive limited edition packaging.

Great lips never go out of style, making lip items an easy to give gift!

Here are my top five holiday lip items that are great either as gifts or for yourself!

(1) Sephora Favorites Lip Service Deluxe Sampler ($119 Value) Lip Service Deluxe Sampler: Sephora Favorites are a great way to try a number of products at a great price. Sephora does a nice job at putting these together with quality items, and they make a great gift or a good personal sampler.

(2)  Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Treatment SPF 15 : Fresh Sugar Rose is delightful, but a bit on the expensive side. That is why it is a great gift or personal splurge item.

(3)  MAC Lip Kit : MAC Cosmetics always put out a nice set of lip kits for the holidays.

(4)  NARS ‘D. Lovely’ Lip Gloss Duo Set: Nars put out this great lip gloss selection for the holidays.

(5) Juicy Loves Sephora Bowler Lip Gloss Charm Crystal (light pink): This Juicy Couture lip gloss charm, sold exclusively at Sephora is so darn cute!

Awhile back,  I created Holiday Makeup as a way to provide information and shopping links for the holiday makeup collections all in one place. If you visited when I first posted about it, there likely wasn’t much there, but now it is a full blown site.

On Holiday Makeup, you can browse limited edition collections by brand, view gifts by categories, and shop all from one location. So whether you are looking for holiday makeup for yourself or are shopping for others, stop by and take a look!

Below are some great holiday gifts for the lip gloss addict in your life (or for yourself!).

The Stila 24kt Luxe Lip Gloss Collection has four very pretty shades that are infused with 24kt gold powder. Gorgeous!!!!

Get $165 worth of Tarte Lip Gloss for $39 with the Tarte Crown Jewels Lipgloss Set ! This is a whole lot of good quality gloss!

The L’OCCITANE Cherry Blossom Hugs and Kisses Set includes cherry lip gloss and hand cream.

Here are a variety of lip product and lip makeup gift suggestions. There is something here for everyone!

         

For an inexpensive gift, go to where cosmetics are affordable– $1 each for most products! The Elf Cosmetics Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF Box Set of 5 is $5.

Burjois makes great gloss, so the Limited Edition Holiday Soiree Lips is a great value at $19.50 (it is worth $45).

I recently tried and loved Pur Minerals Smile, Pout & Kiss Lip Gloss Trio . These glosses have great pigment to them. This is another $45 value for $25 at Ulta.

        

Tarte Lips Ahoy is a cute set of Tarte lipgloss minis. $30

I love the shades in the Smashbox Lip Brilliance palette. Look at Smashbox in general for some great makeup and cosmetics gifts. $28

M.A.C. lipglasses are always great gifts. Pick up one of the Little Darlings Collections, complete with its own pretty gift tube.
