Last weeks focus was bath and body sets and some perfume sets that are nice for gift giving. This weeks’ focus will be on cosmetics sets and skin care. Who can’t resist a lot of color Christmas morning? Here are a few ideas.
1. "Stila Shine On Gift of Glaze" is the perfect set of lip glazes that are in a twist up tube which is perfect for sanitary application. Four of their most popular shades are included such as vanilla (pearl nude), brown sugar (shimmer nude), grapefruit (frosty pink), and apricot (melon) along with two new colors gumdrop (bright pink) and raisin (shimmering golden plum). The Golden Raisin is a beautiful color and for $28 this is a good buy to get six colors in a variety of hues(sephora.com, ulta.com).
2. "Stila Eyes and Shine Smudge Pot Trio Gel Eyeliner" are three neutral colors consisting of black, bronze, and gray. These are smudge-proof and glide on easily with an eyeliner brush which accompanies the trio $32(sephora.com, ulta.com).
3. "Jane Iredale Crayon Box Lip Pencils" are great for a full lip color or for lining the lips. Her products are known for being "natural". The shades are Naughty, Tasty, Luscious, Juicy, and Tempting $55(beauty.com, janeiredaledirect.com).
4. "Sephora Shimmer Lip Gloss Set" is great for stocking stuffers and keeping a few for yourself. They are ten tubes of glossy colors ranging from nude shimmers to bright pinks $28(sephora.com).
5. "Clarins Line Prevention Starter Collection Kit" is an all-purpose kit which contains line prevention multi-active day cream, line prevention multi-active night cream, Beauty Flash Balm, gentle foaming cleanser, and instant eye makeup remover. Clarins is one of the best skin care lines on the market in my opinion. Most of their products contain derivatives of natural plant extracts and smell very herbal and spa-like $37(sephora.com, dept. stores).
6. "The Lash Stash" by Sephora is a kit of mini mascaras you can try to see which one is best for you. This set is great and contains the following: Smashbox Bionic Mascara; Sephora Brand Atomic Volume; Vincent Longo The Curl Mascara; Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes, 4-in1; Too Faced Lash Injection Pin Point; Makeup For Ever Smoky Lash; Urban Decay Big Fatty; Duwop Lash Venom; Korres Deep Colour Mascara; and Cargo Texas Lash. I have this set and it is well worth the $35 investment. You’ll have mascara for over a year with this set but, get it now because it is a limited edition(sephora.com).
7. "Carol’s Daughter Reminisce" is a set of three roller ball perfume oils that are exotic and wonderfully scentworthy. There’s Amandeep, The Goddess Flower, Roses and Honey, and Amaretto Truffle for $36. This little set is totally upscale and can only be found at carolsdaughter.com.
8. "Makeup For Ever Aqua Eyes Collection" $35 is a smudge-proof, waterproof, collage of mini eye pencils that are well worth their weight. The actual pencil will last quite a long time. The colors are metallic bronze, metallic purple, light turquoise, matte black, and iridescent navy blue. These can also double as an eye shadow if applied and smudged immediately afterwards. The shades are rich with pigment(sephora.com, makeupforever.com).
9. "Makeup For Ever High Definition Powder Kit" is a small jar containing what looks to be a white powder but, actually compliments all skin tones. If you’ve never used high definition makeup or powder before, please try the ones by this brand. You won’t be sorry. You’ll come away looking completely natural without cakiness and buildup. The powder is made of pure refined silica which softens and mattifies the skin therefore, enhancing the appearance. It really works in hiding fine lines and wrinkles because it doesn’t settle into the skin like ordinary powders. This set also comes with its own kabuki blush for application $49(sephora.com).
Next week I’ll provide some luxury gift items for those of you who are big spenders and want to make a statement with somebody. These will be some exclusive gifts they’ll never forget.
