It’s self-care szn! Also known as the holidays. Here at IPSY, we’re all about the pamper and the party, and this time of year is the perfect blend of both. ’Tis the season to make your spirits bright and your skin glow. We’ve rounded up everything you need to win the holidays with beauty gifts for everyone on your list—including an IPSY gift card (we see you, last-minute shoppers!). 

Don’t forget to treat yourself, too. During the hectic holidays, remember to slow it down for a few joyful moments of self-care—pop on a sheet mask, give yourself a pedi, take a few extra minutes in the shower for some scalp scrub action—so you can take on the new year with a renewed mindset. Keep scrolling to discover the best beauty gifts for everyone on your list, including you, bestie! Then head to the IPSY Shop to score all of your favorites.
