While we love to remind everyone that a really great gift doesn’t need to cost a fortune, it remains equally true that sometimes, the more expensive things in life really are worth every cent. With the holiday season getting into full swing, we have every intention of indulging in some of the finest goodies that beauty has to offer—vicariously, at least, by gifting them to our loved ones. From techy hair and skin gadgets to the most glamorous makeup finds and the swankiest scents and candles, we’ve made our beauty spurge list and checked it, oh, ten or eleven times. (Hear that, Santa?)
