Fashion and beauty holiday gift ideas for your friends, your mom, your sister, yourself (no judgement).Gift guide season is my favorite time of the blogging year. I like to think of myself as a very thoughtful gift giver. Every year I have a note on my phone and as people mention something that they like I add it to my note so I have a stockpile of ideas when it comes time for their birthday or Christmas.

Kylie Lip Kit Review
Call me basic, but the Kylie Lip Kits are my new obsession. Here's what I think of Candy K, Posie K, 22 and Literally! My newfound obsession with the Kylie Lip Kits is so real, you guys.
