Wander Beauty - Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks
“Give the gift of brighter, tighter, more hydrated under eyes to the beauty queen that has it all with Wander Beauty's Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks. I'm obsessed with how bright, fresh, and alive I look after each use!”

“The week we went on lockdown, I canceled hair and mani/pedi appointments. By month three, I was desperate and found ManiMe. They are peel on gels and made custom to your unique hands/nail beds. I have now given gift certificates to multiple friends who have all loved theirs and re-ordered. At a time when something I took for granted was not available, this was something that truly picked me up.”

“This is a beauty go-to! I love how a swipe of the shade "Dreamer" brightens up my lips and cheeks for instant glow!”

“I like to joke that I got my AA degree in The Ordinary during quarantine. The product names and the benefits can be super challenging but I am now armed with diagrams, tables and copious notes. With most products vegan, non-toxic and ridiculously affordable, I'm obsessed. And I've seen results!”

Tower 28 - SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray
“Like the rest of the word, we recently became obsessed with LA-based (and mama-owned!) beauty brand Tower 28. Their hero product is a super-soothing face mist and we find those to make great gifts because they're one of those little luxuries not everyone buys for themselves.”

“We swear by these practically invisible, de-puffing eye masks from our favorite massage spot, The NOW — and we always gift them to my mom, too.”

Danessa Myricks Beauty - Colorfix Holiday Trio
“We learned about Danessa's makeup line from a makeup artist our FM Coordinator follows on Insta, and we’ve seen her blow up all over beauty sites ever since! She's a super talented mama entrepreneur, and her metallic pigments are supposed to be incredible and pretty user-friendly.”

Versed - Best of Versed Collection
“I am a Versed superfan! The products are vegan, cruetly-free, cost-effective, and honestly fool-proof. I swear by the Day Dissolve Cleansing Balm and Overnight Facial Peel. I always tell new users to go for their bestsellers and see how their skin feels after a week or so. I love that they have a bestsellers set now that I can point everyone to!”
