Beauty Gift Ideas For the 12 Days of Christmas

by Jaime Richards 1

It's day two of my series, the 12 Days of Holiday Beauty, and that means it's all about those turtle doves. But what the heck are turtle doves, anyway? These dainty birds, which are brown with a characteristic black and white striped patch on the neck, are commonly a symbol for love. So show your giftee how much you heart them with turtle dove-inspired beauty goods, like:

• Dove-like shades: Try RGB Nail Polish in Dove ($14), a trendy gray-white hue, or Ulta Eyeliner in Dove Gray ($7), perfect for creating subtle smoky eyes.
• A play on words: Make your loved one smile with an interpretation of the famous lyric, like with Dove Deep Moisture Gift Bag ($9) or Estée Lauder White Linen Sea Turtle Compact ($275). Psst: check eBay or Etsy for similar, less expensive finds.
• A literal approach: These Two Turtle Doves Felt Fuzzies Hair Clips ($12) have a whimsical quality about them and would look great paired with a silvery eyeliner and berry lip.
