Happy Monday ladies! Anyone else feel like the month of December speeds by and before you know it, there are only 16 days before Christmas?! Like, what is life! If you’re anything like me then you only have one gift purchased and a long list to knock out. Which is why I’ve pulled together the ultimate gift guide for the last minute shopper!
FOR THE FASHION JUNKIE
The weather is officially in cozy mode & I’ve got the fashion lover in your life covered! Below are some of my favorite pieces to not only wear, but gift those in my life!
FOR THE MAN IN YOUR LIFE
Ladies let’s all admit it, shopping for your man is hard! You ask them what they want for Christmas and they respond with a, “uhhh I don’t know, maybe some shirts?” Well that just isn’t going to cut it sir! Don’t worry girl, I’ve got you covered with an Aaron approved Christmas gift selection.
FOR THE HOSTESS
You know the girl, the one that is always having friends over and effortlessly making all the things happen at once!
FOR THE DOG MOM
There is no shame in my dog mom game! The moment we brought Hazel home I became a dog mom through and through. We have had a Bark Box subscription since the day we brought Hazel home and it is the best $30 we spend every month. She loves it, I love not having to remember to go purchase more treats & toys.
FOR YOUR MOM & MOTHER IN LAW
I don’t know about y’all, but my mom is the type of lady who doesn’t ask for anything and deserves everything!
FOR YOUR DAD & FATHER IN LAW
My dad would be happy opening up a book & some high-end coffee, he’s just that simple! But some years you want to treat your parents to an extra special Christmas, which is where these gifts come into play.
FOR THE BEAUTY JUNKIE
I really wanted to hate these products because I’m no stranger to the DM’s telling me to buy them… I always felt sleazy when someone tried to slide into my DM’s with links to their products without really asking me what I was looking for or what I needed, without taking the time to hear me and instead trying to convince me. I went so far is to fly under the radar and ordered most of these products directly from my friend without ever reaching out to her about them originally.
I can promise you this: my feed will not become one giant make up Ad and I will NEVER slide into your DM’s unless you ask me a question that I can answer. That’s not why I am doing this. I am sharing these because I truly love them and while I do get an affiliate commission for some of the products linked below, I have been sharing them sans links through DMs for months upon months whenever someone asks what I use and knew it was silly to miss out when these are the exact products in my makeup bag. Don’t ever worry that you’ll be sold to by me beyond my true recommendations – that’s not how I roll.
Tinted Moisturizer: A lot of people have been commenting on my “glow” and I seriously believe it’s because of this. It’s not thick and it’s nice for minimal coverage – it also oddly smells good.
Brows: Okay, people ask me about my eyebrows all of the time (and yes, they are au natural) but I do help them out a little bit. The brow gel is awesome for people who need a little more dimension, my brows are actually pretty coarse so I only use this if I’m doing a really light makeup to accentuate my eyes more. Word to the wise: go light on this because it can get a little flaky and flaky brows are no bueno!
Mascara: One of my top asked questions is about my eyelashes. I’ve had eyelash extensions in the past, loved them but they just weren’t realistic for my everyday life. One of the biggest things I can not fathom is putting toxins on my eyes. But finding a mascara that actually works, creates volume worthy lashes & doesn’t leave clumps is a tall order. I have been using this volumizing mascara for almost a month now and it is a game changer!
Muted Lip Color: I probably get asked about this lipstick in the 9 to 5 -Luminous Mauve shade the most .This is a perfect date night and holiday color and I only wish I had started wearing it early (trust me, I used to NEVER wear lipstick, what a mistake that was.)
Gift Sets: these adorable sets are currently 20% off and perfect for gifting your co-workers, girlfriends and stocking stuffers! I’m personally a huge fan of the Glow & Go Oils, they’re a staple in my morning skincare routine.
I really hope this gift guide is helpful and makes your shopping a breeze this holiday season. Most of the items are currently on sale & ship in 2-4 days!
Happy Shopping friends!
