I have a running joke with my husband that I repeat each and every time I see a vacuum commercial trying to entice men to “buy mom a new vacuum cleaner” as a holiday gift or a tool commercial insisting that’s what dad wants. This is not what ANYONE WANTS! And I think its hilarious that these companies try to pawn off these devices used for doing chores as gifts – but there are suckers out there who will buy into it! No!!! We ladies want something that we can use that we are excited to use, like beauty products.
Over the years, and especially as we get older, beauty treatments and products become increasingly important to us women. I think I’ve been using Mary Kay TimeWise Age Fighting Moisturizer since I was in high school – in preparation for battling the wrinkles that are bound to be coming my way! Beyond the need, beauty products are just fun to give and receive – especially whenever you get to introduce a loved one to a new product or brand that you know they will love.
Holiday Gifts That Give Back {Beauty Edition}
1.Everyone loves a great lip balm – and we go through it too quickly! I love Lasting Smiles Organic Lip Balm because every purchase helps improve health and opportunity for children worldwide. Such an impactful purchase!
2. Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Collection is a wonderful compilation of of Kiehl’s products that provide rich hydration to help your skin fight against the winter cold! Made in the USA, this purchase will help benefit Kiehls donation of $100,000 towards Feeding America.
3. I’ve been obsessed with Josie Maran Cosmetics for quite some time now, and I know your beauty lover will be, too! This Josie Maran Model Citizen Kit included some of their essential products such as their argan oil and hand cream. AND, 10% of all purchases go towards their Model Citizen campaign, helping with women’s empowerment worldwide.
4. For the man on your list who needs a little product addition to his end of the medicine cabinet, Shaveworks Pearl Soufflé Shave Cream is where it’s at! It actually helps slow hair growth, reduce bumps, is super moisturizing, and proceeds from each purchase benefits the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
5. Julep is known for having awesome nail colors, but Julep Color Treat totally sweetens the deal by being fast drying, doesn’t contain any harmful chemicals, and proceeds from this purchase goes towards their organization that empowers women. As an added bonus, whenever you are choosing your colors, pay close attention to the names – they are all modeled after inspiring women!
