Holiday Gift Idea: for the party girl who stays up too late

So as I get older and older I’m beginning to see that everyone isn’t crazy and yeah, I can get bags under my eyes.  My youthful skin of yesteryear is gone, unfortunately, and sadly there’s not much I can do about it.  And then I was introduced to Elizabeth Grant’s The Socializer– Bright Lights and Late Nights. One, the name is awesome.  Two, this stuff really works.  I first tried “Late Nights” (since that seems to be my usual problem) and saw instant results- the key remedy to the whole “too much fun and too little sleep,” as they put it.  I applied this little miracle on around 4:30 am and woke up looking refreshed and dewey.  Love.

Holiday Gift Idea: the best beauty picks from Sephora

So everyone loves Sephora, no?  But it wasn’t until recently when the lovely folks at Sephora sent me an amazing assortment of their hand-picked holiday goodies.  It really is true- you can find something for anyone on your list.  Here are my top three picks, perfect for any beauty junkie.

Philosophy The Gingerbread House:This is the PERFECT housewarming gift when you’re going to a couple’s house.  The man will pretend to resist but you know he’s using his Gingerbread Man when he’s alone in the shower.  And, it’s a shower gel AND bubble bath so it’s a double bonus.

Josie Maran Love Nest: Unofortunately this set is no longer available on Sephora.com but I’m sure they still have plenty at your local Sephora store.  The Love Nest consists of all of Josie’s favorite argan products- the classic Argan Oil, Argan Color Stick in “Petal Pink,” GoGo Mascara and Argan Illuminizer.  What’s not to love here?

ghd Dazzle Gift Set: I used this baby a few weeks ago when I went to Jamaica and I couldn’t be happier.  The limited-edition hair styling set includes a ghd 1″ flat iron, a travel hair dryer and a heat-resistant zip up carrying case that, yeah, is black and sparkly.

Holiday Gift Idea: for the Aunt you have no idea what to get

So everyone has that Aunt that you have absolutely no idea what to get for the holidays.  When I came across Calvin Klein’s Euphoria gift collection, I knew I had found the ultimate “WTF do I buy her?” gift. With any purchase of Calvin Klein Euphoria perfume, you get a free box of Lake Champlain chocolates.  I mean really…what’s better than perfume and chocolate?

Holiday Gift Idea: for your fashion-forward mom

So I recently fell in love…and it was with this Guy and Eva Alexis ring.  What I love about this modern piece is how it looks from the side; besides being awesome, it’s like an upside down hollowed out teardrop, if that makes any sense at all.  Oh and no green fingers- my major pet peeve.  The Alexis ring is made of rhodium (and hence, nickel-free) and jet black cubic zirconia for some real sparkle.  What mom doesn’t love a pretty ring?
