Too Early To Be Excited for HoIiday...or is it?

Confession: I'm the first to roll my eyes upon hearing "Silver Bells" booming in my local deli the day after Halloween. Outwardly, I'm simply aghast that the Holiday season could start so early. But on the inside, I'm absolutely giddy. The Holidays! Parties! Family! Friends! Gifts....Yay! So, you can imagine my not-so-secret excitement when I noticed that a few of the season's best gifts have quietly crept onto Sephora.com already (since I edit our holiday catalog, I've seen all the AMAZING gifts our brands are serving up this year). Here's a sneak peek at the gifts you can get now. Because, just like a chef, any good beauty gifter should sample before she serves.

Bare Escentuals Classic Rock Flawless Diamond Color Collection - BE proves that Diamonds are a girls best friend with this mineral makeup collection that's made with real diamond powder ( I know, right?). Complete with a platinum clutch, it's everything you need to sparkle this season.

Benefit Powder Pop - Benefit addicts will be beaming over this box set of their most popular skin perfecting powders--Dallas, Hoola and Dandelion. It's brightening, in a box.

Too Faced Lights, Camera, Glamour! - This wins my award for cutest gift. It looks just like an old-skool jewlery box (you know, the kind with a spinning balleria), but instead of girlie music it packs a light-up mirror, plus an amazing collection of color.

Tarte We Wish You Wealth Palette - At the Sephora Holiday press event, all the beauty editors went gaga over this one. Full size shades of Tarte's existing colors (do you know how $$$ that is to produce? Very.) are packed in an iridescent purple quilted case.

Best of Benefit - Like your favorite great hits album, it packs all of Benefit's guiltiest pleasures in a gorgeously gift-able purple box.

LORAC Fairytale Life - It's an enchantingly collection of LORAC's best lip, eye and cheek colors in a sparky, lacy palette with a pull out drawer. Perfect for your favorite princesses.
