CAN’T MISS GIFTS

We all know by now that having a few extra gifts on hand this month is pretty much requisite. A few not-too-personal treats that someone might not pick up for herself ““ showing more character than a box of candy, but not as intimate as jewelry.

This year, when shopping for the last minute gift giver you didn’t expect, an extra stocking stuffer or the hostess who doesn’t need another candle, we suggest stopping by the local beauty counter.

The Exclusive Holiday Flavored Lip Gloss Set from LORAC’s Croc Mocktail Collection offers six special edition purse-sized holiday flavored Mocktails, each adorning a mirror for even cab-proof application. Available at Sephora, Century City or http://www.sephora.com.

You don’t have to be a beauty expert to be familiar with the Bobbi Brown Brick compact. This season, she brings us the “˜Copper Diamond’ Shimmer Brick Compact. Five shades of warm copper and gold make up this brick bronzer ““ all packaged in a faux-leather and copper metallic compact. Pick one up at Nordstrom Westside Pavilion or http://www.nordstrom.com.

In time for the holidays, kaplanMD is offering their popular Lips20 lip treatment in a four pack. With new sheer shades all still packing the original moisturizing, plumping, UVA/UVB-protected punch in the center, this Lip20 Holiday Gift Set is a no-brainer. Sold at Fred Segal or http://www.kaplanmd.com.
