When I think of meaningful gifts, I am always looking for ways that a gift can inspire, enliven or otherwise make my friends and family feel better about themselves and their lives.  Today, celebrity makeup artist and balanced beauty expert Chantal Moore brings us amazing green beauty gift kits that can stuff stockings gorgeously this season, and long beyond it! 

(vegan reindeer holiday cookies…right HERE!)

From Chantal:  It’s that time of the year! The perfect time to introduce friends and family to green beauty products that you love by gifting them an introductory gift set collection. I absolutely love introducing people to new products. I especially love when product lines feature a “best of” or “essentials” collection throughout the year. Right now, you can easily find gift set collections since almost everyone offers a gift collection for the holiday gift giving season. Many gift recipients discover brands and products they love and will use for years this way. For the remainder of December I will be talking about my favorite product gift collections that I’ve discovered in time for this holiday gift giving season. I hope you find inspiration!
