💄 “She Probably Hasn't Seen This Yet”
These aren't the same beauty products that show up on every Christmas list. I'm looking for newer launches, unusual formulas, and under-the-radar products that make fun discoveries.
This just launched nationwide TODAY, and I think it's going to be one of those $15 gifts people are shocked came from Old Navy. Amber, oud, mandarin and warm woods give this a much more expensive-feeling profile than the price suggests.
Amber Vibe Hair & Body Mist -- 8 oz.
Toasted pistachio + creamy coconut + salted amber. If she loves warm gourmand fragrances, this is the $15 stocking-stuffer find I'd grab before everyone discovers it.
Gourmand Thrill Hair & Body Mist -- 8 oz.
A $15 vanilla fragrance that smells like it should cost considerably more. Put this one on your “easy gift that looks expensive” list.
Vanilla Crush Hair & Body Mist -- 8 oz.
The tiny version is almost too easy to gift. Pick a scent based on her personality—or make a little three-scent gift set.
Fresh Splash Hair & Body Mist -- 3 oz.
Featuring four Verb® bestsellers, you can go from daytime hair to nighttime styles, with ease
Verb Great Hair On The Go Kit
