Here are some of my favorite top luxury beauty products that in my opinion- are WORTH the splurge!!

Chanel LES BEIGES Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream

This is one of my favorite products of all time because I can use it on top of my foundation as bronzer, or just on my bare face to add a glowy bronze to my skin. It looks absolutely gorgeous on, and even though it is a bit pricey for a bronzer, this product lasts literally forever. But, make sure to keep the plastic cover on the product to avoid drying it out and maximize the product!

La Mer The Soft Fluid Long Wear Foundation

This is one of the priciest items I included on this list, and while it’s definitely not a necessity, if you are looking to try a foundation that makes your skin look naturally flawless, you have to try this one. A little bit goes a long way and my favorite part about this product is it is almost undetectable on the skin. This product is buildable, and has worked on my skin during times when it is oily, dry, or a combination of the two. So while there is no such thing as “one foundation fits all,” this product is the closest thing that I’ve encountered to that. 

Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Primer

Now to kind of counteract my last recommendation, if you use this product under any foundation, the foundation will automatically look like a luxury foundation. It really does blur my pores and add a glow to the skin without making it oily (although I still wouldn’t recommend this product to somebody with super oily skin). There are small specks of glitter in the product, however they are not visible on the face once the product is blended in. The texture is a bit slippery instead of a more gripping primer, and every foundation I have tried glides perfectly over it. While it is pricey, it lasts me a while and in my opinion, is worth the price.

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Powder

The Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation has been a well known foundation for a long time- making Allure’s Best of Beauty List multiple times (the first time being in 2008). However, in my opinion, the sister product to the foundation (the luminous silk powder) is truly underrated in the beauty industry. I use this product either on top of my foundation to set it or lightly dusted over my entire face on days I don’t want to wear as much makeup. While the product has “luminous” in the name, don’t let this scare you! I find this product gives the perfect finish for my combination skin- keeping the oil at bay while not leaving my skin looking overly matte and dry.

Natasha Denona Eyeshadow Palettes

Lastly, I wanted to include an eyeshadow palette that any makeup lover can add to their holiday wish list! These eyeshadows are ridiculously expensive, but also ridiculously amazing. I don’t know what they put in this product, but it is unlike anything I’ve ever tried before. The colors are beautiful, the pigment is incredible, and the colors blend perfectly on the eyes. This is a must-have for any eyeshadow lover!

Hopefully this helped give some ideas for your holiday wishlists :)
