A couple of weeks ago, I shared my beauty wish list and today I have several more beauty-related gift ideas. Many of these are also on my list (you know the nail polish addict in me is heart-eyed over that Formula X set) or items that I think would make good gifts for people in my life. I also love the idea of the Sephora Favorites sets that were released for the holidays because you get to sample a bunch of great brands at a fraction of the price.
Speaking of shopping, who’s gearing up for Black Friday? I don’t plan to go to any stores (it’s way too crazy out there for me), but I will be browsing the deals online and possibly sharing some of favorite deals on twitter. I’m hoping that I can order a few things and knock a couple of gifts of my Christmas shopping list.
To those who celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and good luck to all the Black Friday shoppers. I’ll see you guys back here next week!

![It's a very belated book haul! These are the four books I picked up on my trip to Australia back in May. Of course I had to check out some bookstores on my first trip to Sydney and I think I ended up visiting 9 in total (check out my stories to see the mini bookstore vlog I made)!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was so fun book shopping over there since majority of the covers are different from our US covers. I couldn't resist this pretty edition of PACHINKO, which I've already read. And when I picked up this copy of PEOPLE PERSON, I was so excited to see it because it wasn't out yet in the US at that time. I also bought two books that I hadn't heard of before I discovered them in the bookstore: IDOL and LOVE AND OTHER PUZZLES.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you tend to prefer US or UK book covers?
[P.S. This is an old photo that includes a HarperCollins UK title, but please note that I support the HarperCollins Union.]

I think I need that NARS set as a little gift to myself…

I wouldn’t mind getting all of these for Christmas ;)
Me neither! ;)
Yes! I’ll take all of this!! Would love to get the Bite lipstick and the UD palette!

I stopped by Sephora to look at the Bite lip ornaments and they’re so cute! They didn’t have the shade I wanted though, so guess I have to go back :)
I’m definitely doing some damage online this morning – it’s fun and so hard to resist a good sale!
Love the little essie set, I’m such an essie addict these days.

And the shopping continues- so many good deals happening. Hope you’ll share what you bought! :)
Oooh some of those look great! Wanted to try the lorac palette out!

I would love a lot of what you included in this gift guide. Fresh lip products are wonderful and I’m obsessed with anything Urban Decay. Nice job :)
Thank you very much! I love putting these together :)
Love this gift guide. I’d gladly accept any of these items as gifts.
Glad you like it! :)
I too am beauty obsessed and Sephora definitely has my favorite gift sets. I may or may not have purchased a couple for myself :/

Yeah, I definitely bought a few beauty gifts because of all the sales recently. Woops! :)
Great round up! I usually just request a Sephora gift card so I can buy my own goodies :) hehe
Thank you! That is a good way to go- then you can get exactly what you want :)
