Last Minute Shopping for Beauty Gifts.

Are you stressed trying to complete your gift list? I got a really late start on my holiday shopping this year and it's stressful shopping so late in the season! I think I'll be shopping right up until the very end. If you're like me and still shopping, I'm here to help with a few shopping ideas. We all know the latest trends in beauty make the hottest gifts and Sephora inside JCPenney has them all. The best part about it? NO STRESS!

From seasonal favorites to the latest beauty launches, Sephora inside JCPenney has so much in store. It's so easy to go down the gift list and pick up everything in one stop.

There are so many great gifts to choose from at Sephora inside JCPenney.

I love the First Aid Beauty Peace, Joy & FAB Kit and anyone who loves to pamper themselves will really enjoy this one. This nourishing gift set has 5 pieces from First Aid Beauty to deeply nourish and hydrate the skin during the cold, winter months. The center of the collection is the wonderful Ultra Repair Cream that will repair even the driest of skins.

For the beauty girl who is obsessed with her skin, there is the GlamGlow GIFTSEXY Dazzling Hydration Set. This trio of mud treatments work super fast. This collection includes award winning products that us beauty girls swear by for glowing skin!

Another one for the girl who wants to glow, there is a beautiful makeup palette from bareMinerals called The Royal Court. This trio of face shades will give any girl an all-over glow in a flash. It's super smart containing universally flattering READY products! This compact has the perfect shade of blush, luminizer and all-over face powder.

I can never resist a great lipgloss set and I keep recommending Buxom Don't Miss a Beat Full-On Lip Polish Collection. I have purchased two of these sets for gals on my list; it's that good! This fun and flirty lip gloss set contains six of Buxom's Full-On Lip Polishes that range from sheer to bright and bold. These lippies tingle and the formula is made to gently plump the lips as you wear it. This is a perfect lipgloss set!

With styles so bright and gifts so right, JCPenney is where giving begins this holiday season. I did venture out of Sephora inside JCPenney to finish up my gift list in one swoop! It's like a one stop shop so I can grab everything for my family. You see, JCPenney is the leading destination for the fashion, home AND beauty trends you love and trust. Offering style and quality at a great value, JCPenney’s holiday collections will fit both your lifestyle and your wallet. Score!

MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Plexi-Gloss Collection.

There are so many great makeup sets out for the holiday season and a few have really caught my eye as great values and true must haves. One that I am really loving is this MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Plexi-Gloss Collection. This is a very complete lipgloss collection with shades ranging from very sheer to full-on bright and bold.

The MUFE Artist Plexi-Gloss Collection really has it all. This collection comes with 12 full sized Plexi-Glosses. The shades range in color from sheer to opaque, like I said, and it contains a real wardrobe of colors for the lipgloss lover.

The Plexi-Gloss Collection contains the following shades:

• Pearly Light Beige
• Brown Beige
• Sweet Pink
• Pop Pink
• Fuschia Pink
• Pearly Golden Pink
• Orange Coral
• Orange
• Red
• Pearly Plum
• Burgundy
• Lilac

Being the neutral lip girl at heart, of course, I have been using Pearly Light Beige, Sweet Pink and Pearly Golden Pink often.

If you have never used a Plexi-Gloss it is the ultimate; it is a super shiny lip gloss that lasts! Think of it as a long-lasting lipstick in a gloss form as it is very pigmented with almost a vinyl finish. It is somewhat sticky, but not overly so where it is annoying. They are rich and moisturizing. I really like how it feels on my lips and I am super picky!

The MUFE Artist Plexi-Gloss Collection sells for $150 at Sephora where it is a limited edition online exclusive. That might seem like a lot, but if you were to buy them all individually, it would run you $228 so it really is a great deal with a savings of $78. This is the ULTIMATE holiday gift for the gal who loves lipgloss.

Dolce&Gabbana The Essence of Holiday Collection.

Dolce&Gabbana has created an elegantly beautiful makeup collection for the holiday season called The Essence of Holiday Collection. It totally speaks of the season with the antique gold, passionate red and classic black shades. If you are looking for sophistication for yourself or a luxurious gift, these products are for you.

The products include a beautiful Bronzing Powder, Shimmer Powder, Mono Eyeshadow in a choice of 3 shades, Classic Cream Lipstick, Sheer Shine Gloss and Intense Nail Lacquer in a choice of three shades.

I was drawn to the Glow Light Lids, Lips and Nails products from the line up for the light ethereal glow that these products bring on.

I really like The Illuminator Shimmer Powder in Glow Light for this season, which leaves the most beautiful luminous barely there pearlescent golden glow wherever you want it. The Sheer Shine Gloss in Glow Light is a subtle glossy shimmer. You barely see the flecks of gold shimmer in this gloss, it's more like a really glossy topcoat to wear over lipstick where the shimmer adds further dimension to the gloss.  The Intense Nail Lacquer in Glow Light is a beautiful light shimmery nude gold shade. Again, it's very sheer and barely there, perfect as a top coat over a bold shade.
