Nicole Guerriero Beauty Gift Guide
This is What a Top Beauty Influencer Gifts For the Holidays — and We Want It All
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
Nicole Guerriero has gift-giving down to a science. For good reason, too: eight years of posting hair and makeup reviews and tutorials will garner some product-picking skills.
"I know way more about beauty products than I did before I started making YouTube videos," Guerriero told POPSUGAR. "I have a pretty good sense of what [my friends and family] are going to like since I know so much about products. When I'm gifting, I'll generally know what that person is into — whether it's makeup, hair, tech — and I'll always try to give them a set. That way, I know that I'm not giving them something they won't like."
Read on to see what products she plans to give this holiday season.
OGX Iceberry Queen Shampoo and Conditioner
The beauty influencer had help when it came to designing the fragrances of her haircare collection with OGX. "My mom was here. She's obsessed with jasmine, and she told me I had to have one with jasmine in it, and that's how we got the The OGX Ice Berry Queen Shampoo ($9) and Conditioner ($9)," she said. "My family has been asking, 'Is it Christmas yet? Can we get those conditioners?,' and I've been telling them they have to wait."
Peter Thomas Roth Mask Frenzy
"In the Peter Thomas Roth Mask Frenzy ($75), I love using the green mask — the Cucumber Gel Mask Extreme Detox Hydrator — and the 24K Gold Mask Pure Luxury Lift and Firm Mask. The cucumber mask is the best thing ever, especially when you put it in the fridge."
Too Faced Under the Christmas Tree Breakaway Face and Eye Set
"I had the Too Faced Under the Christmas Tree Breakaway Face and Eye Set ($49) in mind for my sister-in-law because she's a busy mom and likes things that just go together. With the three palettes that come in the set, she has everything she needs right there."
Jo Malone Advent Calendar
"I love Advent calendars, even when they're just filled with candy. But the Jo Malone Advent Calendar ($450) has perfume in it — which is 10 times better than candy — and gives you a little gift every single day."
Urban Decay Born to Run Vault
"I love the Born to Run Eyeshadow Palette ($48) in the Urban Decay Born to Run Vault ($98). It is so versatile; you can create so many looks with just this one situation. It's amazing on its own, and you get all the extra goodies with [the vault]."
Beautyblender Sweet Indulgence Set
Guerriero would love to give the Beautyblender Sweet Indulgence Set ($65) because of her love for the egg-shaped sponge: "The Beautyblender is my ultimate tool. You can do everything with it, and I feel everyone needs one in their arsenal."
Hourglass Cosmetics Veil Powder Brush
"The Hourglass Cosmetics Veil Powder Brush ($64) is life-changing. I get a lot of questions from people, saying that their under-eyes crease [while setting] and I think it's because their brush is either too dense or they are applying too much pressure. This brush is the perfect amount of everything to give you a flawless finish. I use it with the Hourglass Powder, when it comes to setting under the eyes, no brush compares."
Sephora Slip Beauty Sleep Collection
"When I end up sleeping face down, the Sephora Slip Beauty Sleep Collection ($119) pillowcase keeps me from waking up with creases."
BeautyBio GloPro Microneedling Facial Regeneration Tool
"I'm going to be honest, I was so afraid to use it at first; but the BeautyBio GloPro Microneedling Facial Regeneration Tool ($199) makes a huge difference in your skin. I used mine often because I had acne scars, and I feel like my skin looks so much tighter and lifted."
Nordstrom Lancôme Le Teint Particulier Custom Foundation
"The Nordstrom Lancôme Le Teint Particulier Custom Foundation ($80) is just so easy. So many people struggle to find their perfect foundation shade, and this one just takes the stress out of the search."
Viktor and Rolf Magic Liquid Diamonds
"I'm such a fragrance person," said Guerriero, which is why she says she wants to gift the Viktor and Rolf Magic Liquid Diamonds ($190) to her friends and family.
