My Beauty Favorites — Week of December 21-27, 2015

I hope everyone is having a great holiday season! I have been enjoying time with family and the fact that all of the Christmas shopping and preparations are done! Now on to shopping for ourselves…LOL!

This week I’m loving products that will add moisture to my hair and body. The winter always leaves my skin and hair dry! My round-up includes, natural hair products, body wash to help itchy skin, and hair care and body care that will keep hair and skin soft:

Camille Rose Naturals Coconut Water Penetrating Hair Treatment

Camille Rose Naturals Coconut Water Leave-In Treatment

Camille Rose Naturals Coconut Water Penetrating Hair Treatment ($20 USD) — Coconut water penetrating hair treatment combines super hydrating, thirst quenching coconut water, aloe vera juice, tropical butters and oils to deeply penetrate and provide maximum moisture and shine.

Camille Rose Naturals Coconut Water Leave-In Treatment ($14 USD) — Coconut water leave-in treatment has a silky texture that combines coconut water with penetrating natural oils to provide maximum moisture and shine in a lightweight, non-greasy formula.

What I think: I like how natural these products are, they smell just like coconut oil and really moisturize my hair. The hair treatment is good for weekly conditioning and the leave-in is so light I can use it every day! Both products leave my hair very manageable.

Purchase at shop.camillerosenaturals.com

Curel Itch Defense Body Wash ($6.99 USD) — is a powerfully calming and hydrating cleanser that breaks the pattern and lavishes on the calming moisture. It contains an innovative blend of cleansing agents mild enough for serious dryness and eczema-prone skin. The soap-free formula, made with a cationic ingredient, leaves skin especially soft. Prevent the itch before it even begins!

What I think: This is so nice for use in the winter. It leaves skin soft and doesn’t irritate very dry skin. Add a moisturizer right after shower and skin is hydrated all day.

Carol’s Daughter Monoi Conditioning Dry Shampoo For Dark Tones

Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk 4-in-1 “Combing” Creme

Carol’s Daughter Ocean Moisturizing Trio

Carol’s Daughter Monoi Conditioning Dry Shampoo For Dark Tones ($22 on sale now for $15.40) — Start refreshing your hair with this dry shampoo that absorbs oily buildup while restoring hair to its full body and shine, free of weighty residue. It’s made with conditioning Monoi, an ancient Tahitian beauty secret, and a blend of natural absorbing powders to give your hair the strength it needs to keep moving. So now, when time is of the essence, all you have to do is spray ’n go!

Carol’s Daughter Hair Milk 4-in-1 “Combing” Crème ($10) The first step to simple, beautiful curls is by using this creamy super detangler that does it all: untangles, moisturizes, defines, controls frizz, adds shine. Made with Agave and Keratin, this lightweight leave-in gives your curls the glide they need to style with ease. Now nothing can bring your curls down….

Carol’s Daughter Ocean Moisturizing Trio ($26) — “Ocean is clean and relaxing with a bit of sweetness. It appeals to both men and women and was Carol’s (my mom) favorite scent. She never grew tired of its special, distinct aroma. It is sure to soothe both body and soul.” —Lisa Price, Carol’s Daughter Founder

This set includes:

The Ocean Sulfate-Free Cleansing Gel is a sweetly scented sulfate-free body wasy. 8.0 fl oz
The Ocean Body Butter Cream is a deeply moisturizing body butter that leaves skin softer and healthier. 8.0 oz
The Ocean Dry Oil Body Spray is a silicone-free moisturizing body spray that leaves skin soft with a natural glow. 4.3 fl oz
PLUS, No Sulfates, No Parabens, No Petroleum, No Mineral Oil, No Artificial Colors

What I think: The thing I love most about Carol’s Daughter products is that they are natural and gentle on hair and skin. The Monoi dry shampoo smells so good and works very well. I like that it comes in two shades, light hair and dark hair. Having dark hair myself, it’s nice not having to worry about white powder residue.

The combing cream detangles my hair, and my daughter’s, so easily. A little goes a long way and leaves hair soft!

The Ocean products smell amazing! The lotion is my favorite as it is so moisturizing, it feels like butta! I like to use the dry oil body spray after taking a shower. It leaves my skin smooth. This kit is a great deal, too!

Holiday Gift Guide 2015: Last Minute Gift Ideas

This may be my last gift guide this year, so I better make it count! There are still some great ideas to give that hard to buy for friend!

I have gift ideas in fashion, beauty and oh…lets start with WINE!

Leer Vineyards Heroic Red

Leer Vineyards Valiant White Moscato

Leer Vineyards Heroic Red ($16 on sale, reg $24 a bottle) — This wine shows aromas of boysenberry with hints of leather, cedar and cigar tobacco. Flavors are of raspberry jam, chocolate and black pepper, with a faint echo of black tea on the long finish. This blend contains 58% Syrah, 29% Merlot, and 13% Cabernet Sauvignon. A Portion of the proceeds from each bottle sold benefits the Military Warriors Support Foundation’s Homes4WoundedHeroes & Homes4GoldStars programs, which provide mortgage-free homes to combat wounded heroes and spouses of fallen heroes of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Leer Vineyards Valiant White Moscato ($14 on sale, reg $22 a bottle) With aromas of peach and orange blossoms, the citrus flavors are intense, peaches, and tropical fruits dominate. A soft and luscious mouthful with a hint of effervescence for a beautiful liveliness and a balance to the sweetness. While crisp and sweet this Moscato is a perfect pairing with spicy seafood or chicken, and is amazing while paired with bleu cheese, and desserts that include pears or peaches.

I just received samples of these and have tried the red. It is delicious! I’m not a connoisseur, but I like that I can taste some of the rich and smoky flavors, but it is not too dry. It’s a little sweet at the end, yum! I plan to try the Moscato over the holidays and am looking forward to that!

Purchase at leervineyards.com.

Q&Q Watches — The watch on the left is Q&Q Solar Smile Series RP00J013Y ($36 on sale now, reg. $40) and the watch on the right is Q&Q Solar Smile Mini Series RP01J003Y ($36 on sale now, reg. $40). The one on the left is a larger watch and the one on the right is smaller, but both are great for fashion forward friends!

I love that these are solar. To charge the watches, you expose the dial to sunlight. I think it’s great that you don’t have to worry about batteries! And there are many cute choices!

Dr. Scholl’s DreamWalk Express Pedi Foot Smoother (Average price, $39.99) — quickly gives you smoother, more beautiful feet in the comfort of your home keeping you pedi-ready all through the winter months! This is the perfect gift for any beauty or pedicure lover! Here are more details:

I love this. It is very easy to use. You don’t have to press down hard, it quickly removes dead skin from feet. Don’t forget to put down a towel underneath you when you use it, as dry flakes come off of your feet. Sounds gross, but feet are soft and smooth afterwards!

Going To A Holiday Party? Get Your Glam On!

Below are my new glam faves. What are yours? Leave a comment and let me know!

Vasanti The Wild Life Blush Duo

Vasanti Love Brights Gel Matte Lipstick Unconditional Love

Blush for Life Soft, blendable tone-on-tone blush duo designed to add a natural looking pop of colour to your skin. Perfect amount of pigments and soft sheens without the use of heavy shimmer or sparkle.

Vasanti Love Brights Gel Matte Lipstick Unconditional Love ($19 USD) — Deep Matte Orange with a touch of Coral. Beautiful. Bold. Long Lasting. Comfortable.

Both of these products are well pigmented and very pretty on. I like that the blush is not glittery and a little goes a long way. You can use one color or blend them both together. The lipstick is a little too bright for me, but it is very moisturizing for being matte.

Million Dollar Tan Mermaid Mousse ($42 USD) is ultra-lightweight and easy to apply. It gives a subtle instant bronze color, with a deep, gorgeous tan developing over the next few hours. The light-as-air formula soaks in effortlessly, and hydrating botanicals provide serious skin nourishment.

Million Dollar Tan Mermaid Mousse Face ($40 USD) is the perfect companion to the all-over whipped tanning mousse. It’s also a great stand-alone beauty staple for any glamorous gal who wants a radiant, bronze complexion year-round. The lightweight formula simply melts into skin and won’t clog pores.

My Beauty Favorites — Week of December 7-13, 2015

I love the holiday season, I do. But it wreaks havoc on my skin! Colder air, eating poorly and stress make my skin dull and splotchy. That’s why good skin care is so important now, not just in the new year.
