The big day of the holidays (aka Christmas) is creeping up. I know you know, but it just had to be said, you know? Anyways, all it really means is that you're running out of shopping days (insert panicked music here...) If you're still in need of a last minute gift, may I suggest something that most everyone will love?

I didn't expect to be getting gifty again quite so soon, but as it turns out Quo is killing it this year with a sizeable collection of holiday options. If you're not computing what Quo is, you're clearly not from around here (aka Canada.) Shoppers Drug Mart is the OG beauty hub for most Canadian beauty fans, with Quo being the in house brand. They've been known to do some fun seasonal collections and have done it again this year. Want a closer look? You know what to do...

Now that we're officially in December, it feels about right to talk gifts. I know, the beauty world has been talking gifts / holiday since October, but for me, the holidays just don't feel like the holidays until December rolls around. The beauty world does the holidays exceptionally well, but for my take on a gift guide this year, I've got a few more unique bits that stray from your standard gift set from Sephora.

Blush, highlight, and conotur... Oh, my! The beauty brains at Mary Kay have been incredibly busy, as they've recently revamped their range of powder products. The Chromafusion range includes a huge range of shades in eyeshadows, and as we're going to jump into momentarily, the aforementioned blush, highlighter, and contour.

For beauty fans, it just wouldn't be the holidays without a new lipstick (or four...) Red is always a classic option, but what is even more fun than a new lipstick shade is a fancy new tube. Avon knows the drill, and has given us just that.
