Holiday Fragrance Gift Guide 2014

Still looking for the perfect beauty gift for the amazing ladies in your life? Fragrance is a great choice! If you know her favorite scent, or even her favorite notes, you can surprise her with a present she will enjoy every day!

Some perfect ideas are:

L’Occitane Arlésienne Eau de Toilette ($50 USD, 2.5 fl. oz.) — This eau de toilette is a feminine floral fusion, the embodiment of the woman of Arles –the Arlésienne. Elegant and mysterious, she leaves in her wake a unique trail that lingers wherever she goes. L’OCCITANE reveals her in a subtle bouquet of three flowers: the rose for her grace, the sweet violet for her mystery, and the saffron for her temperament.
Made with extracts of rose from Grasse, sweet violet, and saffron from Provence.

Available at usa.loccitane.com.

Strange Invisible Perfumes, Perfumes of the Zodiac Collection ($125 per perfume– This extraordinary collection consists of twelve botanical fragrances, each representing a sign on the astrological chart. Drawing inspiration from her fascination with the cosmos, Balahoutis was compelled to create this collection to convey the complexity of astrology through the art of botanical perfumery.

“I see the constellations of the zodiac as a palette of twelve mysterious essences. Like botanical essences, their content is complex and elusive. They somehow power aspects of our personalities and influence our lives certainly, yet without explanation.” – Alexandra Balahoutis, Perfumer and Founder

The twelve scents are intended to be layered and the wearer encouraged to choose the scent or scents they most admire, rather than feel limited to their sun sign. “We all have more than one sign layered within our personality much like the layers of a perfume composition. The Perfumes of the Zodiac collection lends itself to reflect that,” says Balahoutis.

Visit http://www.siperfumes.com to learn more about your sign’s scent.

B.BALENCIAGA ($82 1 oz, $110 1.7 oz and $145 2.5 oz) The B.BALENCIAGA woman is mysterious and feminine. Confident in her form and free to express emotion and sensuality. The more she reveals, the more intriguing she becomes. Fresh and alluring, the fragrance opens with green notes of lily of the valley bell and violet green leaves accord. As B.BALENCIAGA evolves, the iris note reveals a powdery essence before drying down with darker woody notes of cashmeran woods.

TOP: Lily of the Valley Bell, Violet Green Leaves Accord, Green Edamame Accord

HEART: Iris Root, Cedarwood Heart

BASE: Ambrette Seeds, Cashmeran Wood

Available at Sephora and specialty retailers.

Forever Vera by Vera Wang ($42, 1 oz and $49.50, 1.7 oz — Forever Vera is the essence of timeless beauty. Weightless with a sense of warmth, it feels sensual on a woman’s bare skin. Forever Vera’s classic elegance celebrates a woman’s most intimate moment of reflection. Forever Vera makes a woman feel beautiful in her own skin as velvety textures of white peach and gardenia blend with a splash of refreshing coconut water as a tender top note.

TOP: White Peach, Gardenia Brazil NP, Coconut Water

HEART: Orris, Blooming Lilac, Rum

BASE: Sandalwood, Tonka Beans, Skin Musk

Available at Kohl’s and Ulta.

Sofia by Sofia Vergara Gift Set ($60 USD) — Sofia by Sofia Vergara is a passionately constructed fragrance inspired by Sofia’s unrivaled beauty, charm and unforgettable magnetism.

The exquisite scent opens with a sparkling cocktail of cassis buds, juicy black berries and luscious plum nectar, to evoke Sofia’s playful energy.

The heart is a voluptuous floral blend starring Colombian Rose combined with the allure purple Violet and Colombian Luna Musica Orchid, creating a mysterious and exotic aura.

As the fragrance unwraps, earthy Woods are softened with the addiction of Toasted Prailine, Vanilla Absolute and creamy Sandalwood for a long lasting and unforgettable finish.

1 Eau De Parfum Spray 3.4oz;

Product Round-Up — My Fave Beauty Things Week of November 24-30, 2014

How was your Thanksgiving? Did you eat and shop too much? I definitely did! But, I still have a lot more shopping to do!

This week I’m loving dry skin fighting skincare, a tropical scented deodorant and a self-tanner that is giving me a healthy glow. It’s important to keep looking and feeling good during this stressful time of year!

CapriClear Spray On Moisturizer ($19.99 for 5.2 oz and $10.99 for 1.9 oz) — Made with 100% fractionated coconut oil, this all-natural, paraben-free treatment combats dry, flaky, irritated skin, making it soft and silky. Conceived by a dermatologist, fragrance-free CapriClear is an exceptionally pure, gentle and effective single-ingredient solution for even the most sensitive skin. It also has the eczema seal of approval and is safe for the entire family. Plus, it results in soft, silky skin.

What I think: I have been experiencing some dry patches on my sensitive skin. I have started using this at night and my skin is much smoother in the morning. Just a little bit goes a long way, as this is very moisturizing.

Available at CVS and Walgreens stores.

Belli Eye Brightening Cream ($39 USD) — Formulated with vitamins K and B to reduce the appearance of these telltale signs of fatigue and dehydration, this luxurious cream is the perfect anti-dote to late nights and interrupted sleep. Brighten your day and your look with this soothing and restorative refreshment for the eyes.

What I think: This fab eye cream is extremely hydrating. I love using it at night. In the morning my eyes are smoother and the dark circles are lighter. It can also be used in the morning under makeup.

Available at http://www.belliskincare.com

Skinfix Body Repair Balm ($17.99 USD) — Clinically proven to treat eczema, dryness, and dermatitis. Total relief from the itch, the ouch, the red, the chronic, angry inflamed skin. Skinfix Body Repair Balm is a safe and effective natural medicinal alternative to traditional steroid treatments – which can do more harm than good to skin’s natural moisture level. This healing balm repairs skin’s barrier with 2% colloidal oatmeal, twice the level of most other eczema products. The formula is packed with natural active ingredients like sweet almond oil, allantoin, and zinc; combined with natural butters, soothing botanicals, and emollient protective oils to immediately relieve and protect the skin.

What I think: My 19-year-old daughter has eczema and was excited to try this balm. She applies it on her arms and legs at night, and by morning her skin looks and feels better. She has just been using it for about a week, but is seeing improvement already!

Available at Target stores and http://www.target.com

Phyto-C B5 Gel ($35 .5 fl oz, $60 1 fl. oz.) — Formulated with vitamin B5 and hyaluronic acid, this moisturizing gel provides intensive hydration by binding water to plump skin tissue. The B5 Gel also diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while smoothing and softening skin.

What I think: Before I used this on my face, I applied a little on the back of my hand. My skin was instantly softer and smoother! I have been using it in place of my serum in the morning and night and love how smooth my skin looks and feels! It has smooth my rough patches and even helped with redness!

Purchase at http://www.myphyto-c.us

Lavanila Vanilla Summer The Healthy Deodorant ($14 USD) — This All-Natural, freshly scented deodorant provides superior, long-lasting odor protection. Soothing essential oils blend with powerful anti-oxidants and beta glucan technology for daily defense and nourishment. Clinically Tested. Dermatologist Recommended. No Aluminum. No Paraben. No Propylene Glycol. No Harsh Chemicals. Tropical pineapple and mango blend with exotic coconut and Madagascar vanilla for an island freshness that lasts all day.

What I think: This scent is so tropical, which is so nice when it’s freezing out. I can almost imagine warm, balmy days! This solid works really well for people who do not need super-strong deodorant (like me). I suggest that you purchase it for tweens and teens, since it is good for skin and has natural ingredients.

Purchase at http://www.lavanila.com

Vita Liberata pHenomenal Lotion ($54 USD) — This product is not only completely odorless, but also contains certified organic botanicals as well as a unique moisture-lock™ system that draws water to the skin surface and locks it there for 72 hours, keeping skin soft and smooth upon application.

What I think: Love this self tanner! It is odorless, which is rare in a self-tanner. It is also very easy to use with the enclosed tanning mitt. If you apply it carefully, it will give you a flawless tan that lasts for days and even weeks!

Available at http://www.sephora.com and Sephora stores.
