Feature Beauty Advent Calendar DO IT YOURSELF! Christmas is coming! With the race to get everyone ticked off the gift list already on, here’s some last minute inspo to make the task a little lighter this year. A great and innovative idea is to create your own DIY advent calendar with hidden gems. For Him/for Her/ For Kids Let’s not forget any of the family members! Your best bet is to make a gift set or a ready-made beauty kit – many brands offer them and they are ideal for our beauty advent calendar hung on the fireplace, waiting to be unwrapped every day, counting to December 24th! Perfumeries and department stores are full of beautifully wrapped cosmetic sets, fresh fragrances and pretty pallets, shopping got way easier the last few years! Something limited edition is always a great way to show that you’re not just opting for the safe gift ideas, rather tempting your gift with a challenge to try something new before the year is out! 34 C O S M O B I Z M A G A Z I N E Eye shadow palettes are always a good bet for your gal friends – eye shadow is such a versatile product that will always come in handy – aside from rocking a sexy smoky eye, it can be doubled up as a blush or bronzer, or crushed up into clear nail polish for a new texture. And it can be super small and compact to place in one of the boxes in December! Be the highlight of your Christmas crew - strobing sets create new advantages to the skin – light reflecting particles applied to the parts of your face that catch the sun will make you gleam! The tip of the nose, chin, the middle of the forehead and the cupid’s bow are the key areas to get the best out of your look. Want something more natural? Apply blush to the cheekbones instead. But really, ANY type of highlighter – we stan!
