IF guys out there still don’t have presents for the special ladies in their lives (girlfriend/wife, mother or best friend), here’s a tip: beauty products!
Get impressive gift ideas from these exceptional beauties, as they tell us exactly what they want to find under their Christmas trees this year.

All I want this Christmas is a good hand cream and lip moisturizer. My skin tends to dry out a lot, and I can’t overlook my hands and lips, either.
Amina Alunan, bag designer
I would love to receive the Bare Escentuals Mineral Makeup line. I absolutely swear by it! I especially love the Radiance line of powders, which gives me a glow. It’s available locally at SoFA’s Retail Lab (55 Paseo de Roxas Ave., Makati City or at www.barebeautyonline.com). Plus, to pamper myself, I would also want to receive treatments from Facial Care Center (for my skin) and Marie France (for my post-pregnancy body). All these would make it a “beauty-filled” Christmas for me!

The one beauty product I would love to receive is the Olay Total Effects Cream. I get it for free since I’m a brand ambassador, but everyone steals it from me! So it would be nice to receive more for Christmas.

I wouldn’t mind getting Benefits Cosmetics Lipscription and Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer. I’ll be spending the holidays with Brent [Javier] in Canada, so I’d love for it to be a beautiful white Christmas instead of a dry one. The moisturizer is great because it contains SPF 20 and goes well with my foundation. The Lipscription exfoliates my lips as well as moisturizes them. Purrrfect for Christmas.

I would love to have another pot of Creme De La Mer. It took me a year to find the perfect moisturizer for winter in New York! Of course, the whole set of La Mer products wouldn’t hurt as well.

I would like to receive Shu Uemura’s Cleansing Oil, because it’s something I never intend to stop using. It’s a must for makeup removal!
Bubbles Paraiso, actress
I wouldn’t mind receiving any of my favorite perfumes this Christmas—Daisy by Marc Jacobs, Incanto Charm by Ferragamo, Chanel No. 5, Sunset by Escada. I simply love spritzing perfume every time I go out of the house and before I step out of my car. It’s a beauty product that I always use, so I always run out of it.

A product I can’t get enough of and would love to receive this Christmas is Armada by VMV. It really is the best sunblock for your face. As I get older, I try to protect myself from the sun as much as possible. This product allows me to go out and not worry because I know my face is protected.
