Happy weekend! Where did this year go? On one hand, it feels like 2020 was the longest year ever. But, it also flew by in the blink of an eye. With Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s time for my first gift guide of the season. This year’s beauty gift guide includes some cult favs, plus some must-have’s during this stay-at-home time.
2020 Beauty Gift Guide
When in doubt, beauty and skincare are one of the easiest gifts to give for the holidays. Plus, with the amount of time we’re spending at home, beauty is my number one recommended area to splurge in this year. In my 2020 beauty gift guide I’ve rounded up some of my favorite things to give to your sister, mother, MIL, or friends! Everything I’ve included here is something I use daily, whether it’s this chic soap and lotion duo from Thymes or this Body Essentials Set from Necessaire that reminds me of going to the spa.

Best Beauty Gift Ideas in 2020
Vanity Planet Aira Ionic Facial Steamer
This is my top recommendation for 2020! If you’re avoiding the spa or just want to pamper yourself at home, this facial steamer is a dream! It helps give your skin a healthy glow, opens your pores and allows your skin treatments to penetrate deeper. Use code AGLAMLIFESTYLE for 56% OFF!
PRICE: $47.49
Buff City Soap Shower Oil
I discovered this shower oil earlier this year during our girls’ trip to Memphis when we visited the store and I’ve kept it in stock ever since. You spray this on your body while in the shower and rinse it off before you get out. It makes your skin super soft the rest of the day. My favorite scent is the Oatmeal & Honey!
PRICE: $15
Diptyque Eau Duelle Eau de Parfum
This perfume is making it’s second appearance in my gift guide because it’s that good! It has notes of vanilla, bourbon and spice that have the most intoxicating smell combined together.
PRICE: $180
Dr Barbara Sturm Lip Balm
Your lips are one of the first areas you can see signs of aging. So, I lather on this luxe lip balm every single night. It’s on the pricier side. But, my jar has lasted me an entire year with very regular use. This would be perfect for your best friend or sister-in-law.
PRICE: $55
Elemis Pro-Collagen Eye Renewal
I raved about my Elemis moisturizer in this post and now I’m jumping up and down when it comes to this eye cream. This is the splurge-worthy item in my beauty recos this year. But, IT WORKS! The nutrient-rich Chlorella ingredient in this product truly helps reduce those fine lines around my eyes. Tell your SO about this and add it to your wish list!
PRICE: $105
Necessaire The Body Essentials Set
This brand racked up a cult following pretty quickly. So, I recently decided to check them out for myself. Like I said above, using their products reminds me of being at the spa. This Body Essentials set includes a fragrance-free body lotion and the body wash and body exfoliator in the Sandalwood scent. All of these are packed with only the necessary ingredients like vitamins and nutrients that nourish your skin.
PRICE: $60
Tata Harper Resurfacing Mask Instant Glow
HOLY WOW! I can’t claim how to know they do it, but this mask is the key to glowing skin. In the past I’ve only really used clay masks to clean my pores. They let my skin breathe and made it soft. But, there wasn’t any glow. Now, anytime my skin feels a little dull or I’ve had too much sugar, I layer on this mask and leave it for 20 minutes. Afterward, this leaves you with your healthiest looking complexion, smoother skin and A GLOW!
PRICE: $65
Thymes Vanilla Blanc Sink Set
Of any item in this gift guide, this hand wash and lotion set is a perfect gift for parents, in-laws, neighbors or for anyone who likes to entertain. I own multiple scents and products from Thymes, including their Frasier Fir candle that will be in my gift guide for home decor and a few lotions, body washes and perfumes. Their products are affordable and smell amazing. You can’t go wrong with this gift!
PRICE: $34
Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
Another second time appearance goes to this incredible foundation. At $64, it’s another splurge-worthy gift. But, with 40 shades, the color range is the best I’ve seen. I always say, this product feels like my skin, but better. It’s also oil-free, which I love. Want to give it a whirl? They offer mini sizes too (think stocking stuffer!!).
PRICE: $64
Caudalie Vinoperfect Moisturizer
You may remember when this moisturizer came in at #1 on my list just a few months ago in this post. As a personal favorite, I simply can’t recommend it enough. I always give Caudalie credit for my young-looking skin. This moisturizer is at the core of my skincare routine and would be a fabulous gift.
PRICE: $59
