Look around and you’ll see sparkly gift wrap, ornaments, accessories, outfits and of course, makeup. So, it felt only natural to ask Half Magic founder and glitter-in-human-form, Donni Davy, for her ultimate gifting guide.
While we’re sure Donni agrees that the extra emphasis on glitz and glam are always a highlight of the festive season, she also told us that: “Putting up decorations, the smell of Christmas trees, and finally having it be sweater weather in LA,” were high up on her list.
When it comes to gifting, she takes a playful, yet considered approach: “I love to give gifts that I know someone wouldn’t buy for themselves because even though they probably love it, they might deem it impractical.
“Easy-to-use beauty products that don’t rely on an exact skin tone match are best. Sheer glosses, glitter toppers for the eyes, and face gems all come to mind,” she tells us.
For the person who is new to the makeup world
“The Half Magic Eye-Cons Only Set. It’s basically the beginner’s guide to winged eyeliner because it comes with our super user-friendly paddle-shaped eyeliner pen, our wing guide tool Wing Magician, and a lengthening tubing mascara.”
Editor's note: This super limited edition set is currently sold out online but find it instore at your local MECCA, or you can shop the products separately, including the Half Wing Magician Eyeliner Stencil, Magic Flik Eyeliner and Eyelectric Extreme Lengthening Mascara.
For the person who you don’t know that well
“The MECCA COSMETICA Lip De-Luscious Lip Protectant SPF20 and the Patchology Rose Lip Mask both make great, universally appropriate gifts that are sure to be used and appreciated.”
For the person who loves beauty but has everything
“Half Magic Face Gems and Adornment Tweezers because they are probably due a restock soon.”
(Editor's note: we are obsessed with the limited-edition Rhinestone Fantasy Set which contains both the Face Gems and Tweezers in one!)
For your beauty obsessed best friend who you want to spoil
“Chantecaille Pure Rosewater Mist and a Pure Silk Pillowcase from Slip. That’s luxury!”
For herself…
“Another Maria Tash piercing (and earring!) as well as another small tattoo on my arm! Those things totally count as beauty, right!?”
