With the countless numbers of products being offered, choosing a beauty product as a Christmas gift can be a daunting task. But you should do the proper selection since a beauty product is a luxurious and personal gift that will definitely be much appreciated.
I have asked beauty brand managers to suggest what products would make good Christmas presents and here are their recommendations.
“We have a special collaboration for the Nars holiday collection, the Andy Warhol color and gifting collection that would be great and artistic to give as a gift.”—Marla Imperial, assistant brand manager for Nars
“From the Bobbi Brown Holiday Gift Giving Collection, I would recommend the Caviar & Oyster Travel Brush Kit, P7,000. It comes with seven essential brushes and the case can double as a nighttime clutch as well.”—Jill Baysa, senior marketing executive for Bobbi Brown
