Everything she found is from Target...such a huge selection of head to toe beauty buys....that can take you from every day to fabulous.
Starting with makeup...Bahar says everyone loves cosmetic gift sets, they're a great gift idea for any age. She likes Petra Strand's Pixi Early Bird kit ($34). Its a "wakeup" makeup palette with blushes, bronzers, eye powders and 16 eye shadows.
Another great one is Sonia Kashuk's Gilded Cage six-piece holiday brush set ($24.99). And Bahar's favorite part about it is that it doubles as the ultimate arm candy for a holiday outfit!
Elf has amazing nail polish sets in a number of different colors...and eyeshadows all in one set too!

Now to help you create sleek holiday party ready locks, Bahar loves the Chi Hair Straight iron (under $100). It comes in vibrant pink and purple prints...so cute.
Fragrance is also a hot hot ticket item. This season Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber have come out with exclusive gift sets ($29.99 each). Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift and Someday by Justin Bieber fragrance sets come complete with perfume and body lotion....a real treat for any fan.
