I absolutely believe, that it IS better, and FEELS better, to give than to receive this time of year.  
However, I’d be lying if I didn’t admit to having a serious issue that when I go to buy a beauty gift for a friend, I always want to buy myself one too!!
I know what you’re thinking, beauty bloggers get their fair share of beauty products sent to them year round!  But that doesn’t mean I still wouldn’t be thrilled to find out family, friends, hubby, or Santa, brought me some new makeup palettes and lipsticks Christmas morning!!
Since one of my very favorite and frequented stores is Ulta Beauty (because they have drugstore + prestige brands all in one spot!) I figured I’d share some of my top picks for a Christmas wish list.  And I’m keeping them all at under $30 because let’s be real, we have lots of people to buy for this year and those items add up!! So check out this makeup artist/mom/beauty bloggers top picks for awesome beauty stuff to end up under the tree this year if you need last minute ideas for that special beauty buff in your life! (and no, this is NOT a sponsored post by Ulta. I just truly love to spend hours in there:))
