Lancome has a couple of cute holiday makeup kits and there are also some items from the Lancome general collection that would make good Christmas or other holiday gifts. My favorite is the limited edition Lancome Holiday Eye Palette with 6 pretty eye shadow shades and a blush in a mirrored case.

Lancome also has a three lip gloss limited edition holiday set that has very nice shades. Lancome lip glosses and Lancome Juicy Tubes are particularly good for stocking stuffers or affordable small gifts.

Dior is one of my all around favorite makeup brands. Yes, I love plenty of others, but for sheer consistency in quality, Dior is right at the top for me, along with maybe Chanel and Guerlain.  The Dior Holiday Collection is sleek and simple, and full of quality well pigmented eye shadow shades, as would be expected of them.

Each year, Dior also puts out a holiday lip balm or lip gloss pendant. Each year I really, really want it, but I have yet to actually get it. If you are looking for a truly unique Christmas or other holiday gift, I highly recommend that one!
