I'm a person who gives products as presents. I give them to my
mom, my sister, my friends. I even give expensive baby products
when people have babies, and I've been known to pick up a fancy
shave cream or manly moisturizer for my husband if I see it. This
is why: Really great beauty products are a tiny thing that can
actually make your whole day. An extravagant soap, pricey lip
gloss, or new favorite scent can bring heaps of joy without costing
nearly as much as designer fashion. The products above are not
reasonably priced. They're indulgences, the kinds of things you
rarely purchase for yourself, but when you receive them, you feel
somehow special. They're also the sorts of items any girly girl
beauty junkie in your life will love.

Bond No. 9 is a fancy-hip New York perfumery that puts out fun fragrances named after NYC neighborhoods and landmarks. While its regular bottles and collections can be pricey, if you go with these cutely wrapped samples you choose whichever scents you want at a much, much cheaper price.

Report AbuseDHC makes a cleansing oil that I'm assuming does the exact same thing as the Shu Uemura stuff. It is only slightly cheaper, at $24, but it looks like the bottle is bigger so it might be a better deal. Like Jennifer said, this product has been life changing for me and every woman I know who has tried it. www.dhccare.com

Report AbuseSome of this stuff is a little over my price range. My limit is usually $50 per gift. However, I really liked the perfume sampler and the C.O. Bigelow lip glosses. I'd pretty much love to get any of the stuff on this list.

Report AbuseToo bad the majority of these gifts are way too pricey! $20 for nail polish???? Come on. OPI makes excellent polish in thousands of colors for a mere $8.00 a bottle.
$32 for mascara??? Give me a break. I'm a beauty junky myself and I would NEVER spend $32 on mascara... how insane is that???
Ulta Cosmetics (if you have one near) is a great alternative to shop for many of these items - at a much more reasonable price.
