A French Beauty Gift Guide - Gifts under $25

Christmas is just around the corner and the pressure to find the perfect gift is becoming intense! Today I'm starting a Holiday French beauty gift guide series to help you find great gifts for everyone in your list. 

There will be gifts for every budget, from stocking stuffers to exceptional presents. The guide includes products from a variety of French brand, some cult products and some insider favorites, all hand picked by me. Some are available at brick and mortar stores, many only online - consider getting them shipped express to get them before the big night!
