Yoanna's Beauty Buzz: Gift Ideas

Finding the latest in beauty trends can be challenging... Let beauty and lifestyle expert Yoanna House lead the way!

Creating a moment to give a gift is easy with back to school, birthdays, and even just a gift of encouragement.

Here to deliver the latest in this season’s must-haves is fashion model and style expert Yoanna House with her favored selection of gift ideas for that special lady in your life:

Millions of high school graduates have embarked on college. So the opportunity to send off a dorm gift is kind of special.

College Bound Gifts:

The Organizer
Available at Target- Sonia Kashuk

A makeup organizer that is found in multiple shapes and is perfect to store your favorite products and brushes.

What I love about these is that they can be easily cleaned with a damp cloth and you’ll find several reasons to pack them. What’s cool about those is you can think of storage for school supplies . These are all priced between $10-30 and I got them from the Sonia Kashuk section at Target.

Tool Kits: Brushes

I am still to this day learning about which brush to use with precise application. The two sets I am kind of obsessed with.. are fairly priced.

The problem with brushes is that they can add up and really put a dent in a college student's budget. I am sure they are more concerned about stretching their monthly food budget. Target or some places like Sephora carry in-house creations like this that offer a large array of value sets that are stylish too.

Also think about Mood lights.
Mood lighting aka colored bulbs. A black light is a great colored light bulb and is an awesome way to set the mood of relaxation or recovering from lecture halls and flourescent lights.

Bright Eyes: Marc Jacobs, the king of cool, creates a wide-eyed look with Marc Jacobs Beauty’s Fineliner Ultra-Skinny Gel Eye Crayon. It captures the ease and glide of the award-winning Highliner Gel Eye Crayon in a revolutionary ultra-thin, two millimeter, unbreakable tip. Featuring a transformative gel formula, it glides on precisely for a flawless look.

Liquid Lips
Everlasting Liquid Lipstick gives lips long-lasting wear and high-pigment color. Its creamy, color-rich formula glides over lips like a gloss but dries to a true matte finish. It’s infused with natural comfort-enhancing ingredients, including vitamin E and sunflower seed so you can flaunt lasting matte color that leaves lips feeling comfortable.
