12 Days Of Fabulous Christmas.....Gifts!: Day 11: Yves Saint Laurent Your Lovely Palettes

I am so feeling these limited edition lip and eye duo palettes. They are part of the Yves Saint Laurent holiday collection and the packaging is inspired by the luggage tags featured on their handbags! How Cute is this, the perfect gift right!?! The colors in these duos are rich and stunning.

The Your Lovely Palette Lip Duo includes a shiny rose-beige lipstick and a pearly champagne gloss with mini applicator. Then the Your Lovely Palette Eyeshadow Duo includes an intense violet and pearly lavender eyeshadows. I am more the sure the goldish gloss would be perfect on top of a red or hot pink lip! The gold (lip duo) and silver (eye duo) compacts are engraved with the emblematic Yves Saint Laurent heart and their black vinyl straps can be used on a key ring, hand bag or belt. A great gift! 

12 Days Of Fabulous Christmas.....Gifts!: Day 10: Kai Fragrance Body Buffer & Polisher

This product line gained their notoriety from gracing the infamous list known as Oprah's Favorite Things. After seeing them on her list I quickly added them to mines. I used both the Body Buffer and Body Polisher about a year ago; and while at the spa today I saw them for sale in the retail area and quickly picked up another container of Body Polisher and Buffer and thought wow this would make a great gift!  The smell alone is soooo invigorating and clean smelling. Kai's scent is very different and is not the typical Bath and Body type Scents some of us gals are used to giving. It doesn't smell perfumy just clean and fresh! 


Kai Body Buffer is a light blend of exotic perfumes and natural essences, including palm, coconut and olive oil, infused in a hypo-allergenic sponge to cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturize the skin. packaged in a set of two sponges that release kai scented foaming bubbles when wet. These magical buffers leave your skin feeling smooth and soft! And your body and bathroom smelling de-lic-ious! They last about 20-30 washes and is a really great gift for the girl who you think has tried it all! 

Kai Body Polisher is simply divine! Again this scent is too scrumptious for words! The body polish combines exfoliating salts with hydrating sugar for healthy and glowing skin. 

Did I mention this line is natural free of parabens, sulfates and all that yucky stuff! Well they are and if you haven't tried this line yet what are you waiting for! Or want to give a unique non-commercially gift this is it! 

LOVES IT!!!

Ginseng root extract and peppermint invigorate the senses and revitalize the skin cells while calendula calms and sooths the skin.

12 Days Of Fabulous Christmas.....Gifts!: Day 5 Marc Jacob's Daisy

I absolutely LOVE roll on perfumes, I have like 5 in my purse right now! I start off with one and then by the end of the week they all make their way into the bottoms of my bags. But I love them, they are easy portable, quick, small, and under 3oz so they are perfect to travel with! They are also a perfect stocking stuffer for the gals on your list! My absolute favorite right now is Daisy by Marc Jacobs, available only at Sephora ($20). 

The scent is fresh and feminine with a playful innocence. At the heart of Daisy is a floral with a vintage edge: violet. Sophisticated, with a touch of whimsy, violet captures the eclectic, vintage flavor of Marc Jacobs' feminine, edgy designs. Always elegant, always enchanting—but not too serious—Daisy is a sparkling floral bouquet, spirited and fresh, wrapped in comfort and warmth. 

Perfect for trips, after we land and start taxing to the terminal I spritz my face with hydrating spray (from Juice Beauty) and roll on my perfume what a pick me up! You feel fresh, awake and ready to go!

There is nothing I love better than coming home at night and sinking into a nice hot bathtub. No bath would be complete without a Philosophy 3-n-1 bubble bath, shower gel, and shampoo. Santa could always make my holidays a little merrier with ANY of the scents from the line but I'm really looking forward to Mimosa ( a fresh light citrus scent) to get me through this long winter.  

Philosophy has released gift sets galore for the Philosophy gal (or guy) on your holiday shopping list. The Winter Escape includes a 3-n-1 in Peppermint Hot Cocoa and a lip gloss and body souffle in Melting Marshmallow (I own the cream and it smells so yummy I can eat it!). 

There is also The Bake Shoppe for those on your list that are more into pink sweets, like ME. This set includes Pink Frosted Layer Cake 3-n-1 (I own this and it's to die for), Raspberry Mousse 3-n-1 (I smelled this one at Sephora and it was love at first sniff), Raspberry Mousse lip gloss and Sweet Creamy Frosting Body Lotion. Both gift sets are housed in adorable packaging so you can skip wrapping paper altogether. 

 For the skincare lover on your list there's The Miracle Worker Gift Set a $156 value for $85. This set includes all of your favorite (or soon to be favorite) Philosophy skincare. If you're on a stricter budget there is also the Magical Minis set which includes smaller sizes for the more recessionista price of $45.  

Lastly you can't forget all the lip gloss loving ladies on your list and with the Under the Mistletoe Ornament set and A Kiss & A Wish set you can't go wrong. Both would be completely amazing for a stocking stuffer or a secret santa gift.
