Holiday shopping has already begun but it won’t be in full swing until that notorious day known as "Black Friday." The Friday after Thanksgiving is when retailers will pull out all of the stops in hopes of luring shoppers into their store to spend whatever their budgets will allow. The economy being what it is in 2008, the bargains are sure to be better than ever. However, consumers are likely to be cautious; choosing only gifts that are actually needed or that represent a minor luxury. At the top of the list for some friends and family this year will be beauty-related items like makeup kits, skin care products, and beauty accessories and tools. These are the types of items that many people forego purchasing on their own when the family budget is stretched to the limit. However, that doesn’t mean that these items are any less desired. However, shoppers who know what they want may not know where to look for the items they need. On the Virginia Peninsula, there are lots of options to choose from. One of the best places to search for high quality beauty-related products is Ulta Beauty, located in the Jefferson Commons in Newport News, Virginia. Ulta offers famous cosmetic name brands like Bare Minerals, Smash Box, Lorac, Urban Decay, Pur Minerals, Estee Lauder, and of course their own Ulta brand. They also offer a wide variety of products in skin and hair care; bath and body; fragrances for men and women; as well as the tools and accessories needed to complete almost any look. Consultants and advisors are on hand to help customers find exactly what they need. They will even do makeup demonstrations for those who need a push in the right direction. From Photo Finish Foundation Primer to complete starter makeup kits, Ulta is sure to have the beauty answer. They have the latest in wrinkle reducing creams, products to make the skin glow with youth and vitality, and systems that produce the look of a temporary face lift. Those looking for famous designer hair care products need look no further. Ulta carries product lines from Ojon, Samy, Charles Worthington and dozens of others. Those searching for hard to find items like the highly popular Harajuku Lovers now know exactly where to go. Ulta has them along with other wonderful gift ideas like Viva la Juicy Eau de Toilette from Juicy Couture. Makeup kits galore, luxurious spa products, and even free gifts with purchase make Ulta THE place to go for the best of the best in beauty products and accessories. Another great place to shop for the best that beauty has to offer is Sephora. Located inside of J.C. Penney at Coliseum Drive in Hampton, Virginia, Sephora is another beauty one-stop shop. Their makeup lines include some of the best name brands on the market today. Shop Sephora for cosmetics from Stila, Laura Mercier, Nars, Tarte, Sheiseido and many more. They also offer the best in skincare from Perricone M.D., Kinerase, Jurlique, Clinque and more. Their hair products include the world-renowned brands of Frederic Fekkai, Oscar Blandi, and Carol’s Daughter, just to name just a few. Sephora also carry a range of natural and organic products for those who choose to go green. Additionally, they are the place to look for those "must have" beauty tools like the No No shaving system, the ThermaCare Acne Clearing Device, and one of Oprah’s favorite things - - the Clarisonic Skincare Brush. And don't forget fragrance from the most luxurious designer perfumes to light scents for the first time wearer. This store has it all, making it virtually impossible not to find something for any loved one on the list. Finally, it is important not to forget about Bath and Body Works. Newport News has a store located in Patrick Henry Mall. Although many people equate Bath and Body Works with just bath products, that is by no means all the store has to offer. They also carry many of those highly sought after beauty products from Patricia Wexler M.D and fabulous hair care products from Jonathan and C.O. Bigelow. While cosmetics isn't the focus of Bath and Body Works, they do have there some of the best lip products to be found anywhere - - from Liplicious. From lip plumpers to glosses and tints, there is a color and type for just about everyone. Of course no one can beat Bath and Body when it comes to wonderful fragrances. From soap to bath oils, gels, and creams, this store leads the pack with the most luxurious spa style products to be found anywhere. Best of all, their prices are hard to beat. Each of the above beauty stores offer something unique and special for the person who wants nothing but the best for their loved ones this holiday season. Luckily, they also provide great deals that will fit into almost any budget. This year, that may be the most important benefit of all.
