Holiday Giving: Beauty Lux Edition

One of my favorite things about holiday shopping is the very creative gift sets brands come up with. These are the best way to get to know new products that we normally don’t use or purchase. Every single year, I fall in love with the “bonus” product from a gift set and I’m always thankful for the introduction. Though I mostly focus on kits, I also give you some luxurious single items. Elegance and luxury means holidays and these gifts, meet the brief. Price is not a defining factor, but quality always is and the following products are bursting with it.
