Holiday Gift Guide 2018 — For The Hard To Buy For!

Hi all! How’s your holiday shopping going? I’ve barely started! It’s a weird year. I don’t know what anyone wants and I’m on a strict budget. But I’ll get there!

And speaking of shopping, I have another installment of my Holiday Gift Guide series for 2018. This one has innovative and fun gifts for the guys and gals who are hard to buy for. It includes a luxe blanket, a silk pillowcase, an innovative notebook and more:

The Footsac blanket ($150-$175) makes the perfect holiday gift! Along the bottom of the blanket is an 18″ pocket to tuck your feet in, which means that you will never again struggle to keep your whole body warm, cozy and covered.

Footsacs are small and lightweight enough to toss in your carry-on, but also big enough to cover two snuggling love bugs! They’re currently available in Eskimo, Mousse, Wolf, Owl and Snow Owl phur.

The Hollywood Silk Solution Pillowcase ($45 USD) — Made with the highest grade of long fiber mulberry silk and high grade cotton, the Hollywood Silk Solution is made to reduce bedhead, decrease tugging on delicate facial skin and extend your blowout.

Anti-Aging Skincare From IMAGE Skincare, Bratoxinsta and BREVENA

Hi all! I hope you had a great week! I’m so glad the weekend’s here.

I’ve been lucky to have received some amazing anti-aging skin care for my honest review. I’m always on the lookout for great skincare items that will help my sensitive, aging skin appear younger! These are a bit pricey, but totally worth it:

IMAGE Skincare_s the MAX Stem Cell Neck Lift — IMAGE Skincare’s the MAX Stem Cell Neck Lift

IMAGE Skincare the MAX Stem Cell Neck Lift ($85 USD) — This lift reverses telltale signs of aging by targeting skin laxity, sagging, wrinkles, and creasing on the too often neglected neck and décolleté area. This mask features a unique time release delivery system that allows the active ingredients to penetrate the skin deeper, resulting in prolonged effects. Its maximum concentration of skin strengthening peptides and ground breaking plant stem cells help to uplift sagging skin, support elasticity, and define the neck and jawline.

I’ve only been using this for a couple of weeks, but I can really see a difference in my neck firmness and definition of my jaw. It’s very creamy and thick, but it isn’t greasy at all. So I use it day and night. This is a spendy cream, but it is so worth it. I can’t wait to see more results as I continue to use it.

Purchase at http://www.IMAGESkincare.com.)

Bratoxinsta ($59.99 USD) creates a thin veil of youth-restoring minerals to instantly eliminate the appearance of puffiness or sagging, crows feet, and fine lines.Fast-acting active ingredients create a tighter look and feel within 60 seconds of application while state-of-the-art minerals immediately lift and sculpt. Meanwhile, the powerful combination of stem-cell, antioxidants from Açai and peptides help to improve long-term appearance.

This is so perfect when you want to look younger instantly. Just use a little bit on fine lines, wrinkles, eye bags etc and it smooths skin in just a few minutes. This is really nice for the holidays, too!

Purchase at brazilianskin.com

BREVENA is a clinical grade skin care line designed to address the needs of normal to sensitive skin types with the utmost care and concern for improved skin health. Macro β Complex® is a powerful, proprietary ingredient effortlessly restores dry, rough, aging and environmentally damaged skin leaving your skin soft, healthy and luminous.

Daily Hydration Moisturizer ($79 USD): Featuring the Macro β Complex®, this formula locks in moisture while visibly plumping and softening skin, boosting luminosity and bounce. Products are dermatologist tested. Fragrance-free, dye-free, and steroid-free.

The Restore & Hydrate Overnight Cream ($89 USD): This formula, with Macro β Complex®, hyaluronic acid, shea butter and potent antioxidants works to replenish and infuse the skin with moisture for a visibly softer, smoother complexion by morning.

In a clinical study, users of both creams realized:
- 100% showed improvement in skin texture/roughness
- 100% showed improvement in skin firmness/elasticity
- 100% showed improvement in moisturization of the skin
- 97% showed improvement in skin luminosity
- 100% showed improvement in crow’s feet wrinkle texture

Better yet try them both, packaged together as “The Perfect Pair” and value priced at $159, a $9 savings.

These creams are so luxe! They feel nice on my dry skin and I’m happy that they don’t irritate my sensitive skin. My skin looks so hydrated, smooth and glowing when I use both the day and night cream.

Ipsy Glam Bag Plus Review — November 2018

Hi all! I recently received my second Ipsy Glam Bag Plus ($25 USD), the November box. I received my first box in October. You can see what I received for that box here. It is a box that will always include 5 full-sized items.

I had looked in my Ipsy account and saw what I was getting again this month. I wasn’t happy. I had seen three spoilers — an IT Cosmetics eye shadow palette, an Ofra highlighter and a First Aid Beauty cleanser (all great spoilers). I didn’t get any of them.

Here is what I received:’

tarte Make Every Moment Count Cheek Palette ($32 USD) SOL DE JANEIRO Brazilian Bum Bum Cream ($20 USD for 2.5 oz) SLMISSGLAM Eyeshadow Brush Trio – ($45 USD) Makeup Geek Foiled Lip Gloss in Set List– ($12 USD) dr. brandt needles no more NO MORE BAGGAGE eye de-puffing gel – Retail Value $42

This is a pretty blush palette from tarte. I’m good in blush right now, but this will make a nice gift. I like that there are three shades. I was hoping to get the IT Cosmetics palette, because I have been wanting to try it.

This is the one item I’ll use from the box. I received a smaller container of this cream in a BoxyCharm this summer. I really love it. It’s so hydrating without being greasy and the scent is a delicious pistachio caramel.

These brushes are great quality. I’m a little overloaded in brushes, so I will probably give these away. It’s a good brand, thought

I received this in BoxyCharm this year and didn’t like it at all. It’s so thick and dry and irritates under my eyes. I don’t know what I am going to do with it.

This is a pretty fall color, but I don’t wear metallic lip products. I will probably give it away.

So, this month was a bust for me. It was $25 and the only thing I’ll use is the $20 cream. I will give the rest of this away.

I have cancelled this box, but maybe I’ll try it again sometime next year. I’m afraid if they continue with the variations, I won’t get the items I want, which is what can happen in these kind of subscriptions.

Do you get Glam Bag Plus? What did you get this month?

Hair Products for Cold Weather Styles

Hi all! How’s your hair doing this fall? Mine has become dry and frizzy, thank you very much! When the weather turns cold, it’s time to switch up my hair care!

I ‘ve been loving the following products from Kérastase and It’s a 10:

Kérastase Elixir Ultime Original Oil

Kérastase Aura Botanica Masque Fondamental Riche

Kérastase Elixir Ultime Original Oil ($50 USD) — The formula includes Camellia and Marula oils to help revive the natural strength of hair, provide nourishment deep into the hair fiber and give hair the ultimate shine. This really helps make hair so shiny and manageable.

Kérastase Aura Botanica Masque Fondamental Riche ($59 USD) — One of the latest additions to the brand’s popular natural-origin collection, this deeply nourishing intensive masque is designed for dry, thick hair. The luxurious formula melts into the hair fiber for 96 hours of lasting smoothness and frizz control. Hair is left supple and soft to the touch thanks to its high concentration of natural oils – Brazilian nut, coconut and sweet orange. 97% naturally derived. No silicones. No parabens.

Available at Kerastase-USA.com and Kérastase Salons

IT’S A 10 Miracle Blowdry Volumizer

IT’S A 10 Potion 10 Miracle Instant Repair Leave-In

IT’S A 10 Miracle Blowdry Volumizer ($19.55 USD) This gives hair a gorgeous look and bounce without weighing it down. The Volumizing Blowdry Spray can dramatically decrease blow drying time while providing a healthy coat of protection against heat that can otherwise damage and break hair. Designed as a lightweight formula, this spray will help detangle and smooth your lovely locks, eliminate frizz and protect against humidity with long-lasting results. I love that this protects hair as well as gives volume! We love a good multi-tasker!

IT’S A 10 Potion 10 Miracle Instant Repair Leave-In ($24.70) — The popular leave-in conditioner product is now enhanced with an extra dose of repair and restoration. With just a few sprays, this concentrated conditioning mist penetrates deep into hair for all-day moisturizing action. Upon application, the hair’s cuticle is sealed, providing instant detangling and allowing natural essences to de-frizz, prevent breakage, improve elasticity, extend color, and neutralize PH. This is so nice after I wash my hair. I apply it then either air dry or blow dry it. It leaves my hair so soft and smooth.

What products do you use on your hair during fall and winter?

BoxyCharm Subscription Box Review — November 2018

Hi all! I received my November BoxyCharm! I see the spoilers each month, so I basically knew what I was getting. I’ve been subscribed to BoxyCharm for over a year.

Boxycharm is just $21 a month for 5-6 beauty items, most of them full-sized. It is a nice way to try new makeup and beauty tools.

This month I received:

I went out of town this weekend and came back a couple of days ago, and for some reason I didn’t do individual shots of the products like I usually do before I left. But, here is the eyeshadow palette and the Cover FX drops:

This palette is so pretty! I love the mix of mattes and shimmers. This will make a really bold eye. I haven’t tried it because I’m not sure if I’m going to keep it. I just got the Bobbi Brown Infra-red palette, and the shades are similar. I think this will make a nice gift for someone.

This is a new shade of the Cover FX Glitter Drops. It is a limited edition coppery-gold shade, exclusive for the holiday season. Ultra-concentrated drops of golden glitter that impart a high impact, light- reflective finish. It’s cool that they included a new shade of a popular product. I won’t use this, so I’ll probably give it away.

For the other three products, I have already used and love the brushes. The are small detail brushes, and I have been needing some. Luxie brushes are always such great quality. I won’t use the lashes or the eyeliner, so I will be giving them away.

So this wasn’t the best month for items I’ll use, but I did get a bunch of gifts from it, so it is a win! I have so much makeup that I really don’t need to be getting this, but it is just so much fun! And for $21, it’s such a great deal!

And next month I should be getting BoxyLuxe. I’m so excited, it looks like an amazing box!

Do you get BoxyCharm? What did you get this month?
