Sure, Christmas is literally just a few days away but the truth is — most of us are MAD busy! Even if you aren’t normally a procrastinator, actually finding time to go holiday shopping can be difficult, which is why so many of us leave it for the very last minute. Listen, I get it. I’ve been there. Heck, I am there! The good news is even if you didn’t get to buy half your gifts on Black Friday, there are plenty of sites that can help you do a little or a lot of last-minute shopping straight from your coach and honestly what could be better than that? But wait, it gets better. While clothes and such could be hella hard to shop for on the internet, beauty products are some of the best gifts to buy from online retailers and take it from a beauty junkie myself who gifts my loved ones with beauty gifts every year — everyone loves beauty gifts including your dad, your hubby — even your sporty tom-boy homegirl who never wears a lick of makeup. There’s something here for everyone. Get cozy on that coach, microwave some popcorn, open up your laptop and get ready to shop some of these beauty buys that the lucky people in your life would genuinely love you for!

We all know by now that cold-pressed natural oils are one of the best kept anti-aging secrets of all time. Nyakio’s trio of cold-pressed oils includes Marula and Neroli Brightening Oil that help to minimize discoloration, hyperpigmentation, age spots, and uneven skin tone without clogging pores — perfect for brown-skin women. It also includes Manketti and Mafura Anti-aging oil that works to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles while also adding radiance to the skin.
