Elizabeth Arden makes some great skin care items. I particularly recommend the Prevage line. Elizabeth Arden cosmetics are also always good quality, and they have some nice fragrance sets as well. Below is a selection of good holiday gifts from various Elizabeth Arden lines.

Clinique has some cute holiday sets and kits. Clinique Happy is also always a good fragrance gift choice.  From now through December 17, 2009, Clinique is offering a promotion for a  Shimmering silvery tote, free with any $49.50 clinique.com purchase. Use offer code TOTE at checkout.

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.

Harajuku Lovers, Gwen Stephani’s fragrance line, is not specifically holiday oriented, but the items from it make darn good gifts, so I am including them on the Holiday Makeup site.  Also note the snow bunny collections, which is obviously winter oriented.

The initial links below are to Fragrance Emporium because they had the best deal on the line when I was putting this together. After that, there are links to Sephora, which had the most selection in terms of bags, gift sets, and the Harajuku perfume solids, which are terribly cute by the way, I had to drag myself away from them the last time that I was in Sephora.

Benefit Cosmetics always has cute kits and and sets, so the Benefit holiday collection is no exception.   Here are the featured items in the collection:

Below is  a hand picked selection of other Benefit items that also make great Christmas or other holiday gifts.

Lush Cosmetics makes a wide array of soaps and bath products. I love their bath bombs. Lush is also a particularly good place to go to for gifts because of the wide variety of gift packages that they put together. There is something for every bath lover here! Individual Lush items also make great stocking stuffers. So, check them out for your Christmas shopping needs!

Philosophy has many great gift sets and specialty bath and body items not just for the Christmas and winter holidays, but for other occasions as well.  They are particularly known for their interesting and fragrant shower gels, various skin care items, and their Amazing Grace Fragrance.  Personally, I love the Philosophy lip glosses!
