Holiday Gift Guide




 
Pour le Monde® or For the World, is a new altruistic all natural fragrance company that donates a minimum of 5% from each bottle sold. It’s the gift that keeps on giving and what better way to celebrate the spirit of the season? 

Each eau de parfum in the Pour le Monde® collection benefits a coordinating charity:

-Envision: for the National MS Society whose mission is to envision a world free of MS.
-Together: benefiting the Cancer Support Community so no one faces cancer alone®.
-Empower: supporting Guiding Eyes for the Blind which provides dogs that empower the visually impaired and children with autism.

Empower
1.7 fl. oz. $95.00
 
 
At the beautypress Holiday Spotlight event, I sampled each scent and fell partial to Empower
Top notes: Crisp lemon, Persian lime, Italian bergamont, Brazilian orange, Florida grapefruit
Middle: Spearmint, cassis, basil, lemongrass, orange flower
Base: Indonesian patchouli, cedar wood, benzoin
Though I usually prefer my fruity florals, Empower is a an edgier choice for the season.  The crisp lemon scent is very apparent, as well as it the orange elements.  I liked this fragrance because while its soft and pleasant, its citrusy blend is sharp and very refreshing.  Its presence is light but still evident. Not overpowering. 
 
The line's other fragrances include:
 
 
 
 
Envision
1.7 fl. oz. $95.00
 
Top notes: Italian bergamot, Brazilian orange, Persian lime, Floridian grapefruit, pink peppercorn
Middle: Herbaceous notes of French lavender, Palma rosa and Egyptian geranium rose
Base: Indonesian patchouli, blend of woods, Madagascar vanilla
 
 
 
 
Together
1.7 fl. oz. $95.00
 
Top notes: Argentina lemon, Italian bergamot
Middle: Jasmine, violet freesia, lilac- all natural isolates
Base: Blend of woods, Madagascar vanilla, balsa, Indonesian patchouli
 
 
 
Brocato
 
 
 
 
Another brand to consider for your beauty addict friends is one of my favorites: Brocato.  I've reviewed several of their hair products in the past, including the Vibrastrait Oscillating Iron  and the Supersilk Pure Indulgence Leave- In Treatment and have had impressive results with both. 
 
 
 
Sparkle & Shimmer Spray
1 oz. $7.00
 
I'm super excited for their recent holiday launch: The Sparkle & Shimmer Sprays
 Shine on this season with these festive, sparkling sprays of pearlescent flecks. Just spritz on after styling to add a sexy glow while under the twinkling lights!
 They're safe on skin and can even be used on clothes to add a subtle glitz and glam to your look.  Perfect for a night out at your next holiday loft party, special event or give one as a surprise stocking stuffer!
 
 
Products are available at Sambrocatosalon.com

Holiday Gift Guide

 
The holidays are always stressful and shopping for gifts can get often get overwhelming.  There were so many fabulous brand options at the beautypress Holiday Spotlight event, that I was map of some of the industry's finest!  Creating a plan before you hit the shelves can save you a lot of time, so for those of you who have some die hard beauty addicts on your list this year, feel free to browse the below products and head into the season armed and ready!
 
 
 
 
 VINOLIFT®.  is a skincare line by German based cosmetic company M. Asam®.   It was developed for mature and dry skin using the latest modern cosmetic technologies combined with grape ingredients such as OPC, resveratrol, grape seed oil and  grape stem cells.  It combines numerous plant extracts, lipids, peptides and vitamins that work to rejuvenate your skin.  I received a sample of the Skin Tightening Cream and love it because it can be used for both your day and night regimens.  It has a rich texture that left my skin really soft and very hydrated, plus it offers protection against free radicals.  I'd suggest it as a great gift idea for the skincare junkie on your list that can attest to having dry skin.  The products are available on HSN.  Be sure to catch up with them come the end of December on HSN for any new products! Prices range from $24.95+
 
 
 
 
 
Another skincare line that caught my eye was Celle Skincare.  Celle is different because unlike other skincare products, it harnesses the power of its high concentration of polyphenols and carefully selected ingredients to protect and repair damaged skin both before and after UV and environmental exposure.
The collection currently offers three products: a Cellular Skin Treatment ($350.00), a Rejuvenation Serum ($275.00), and an Intensive Repair Lotion for the body ($125.00), offering a complete and effective dermal protection and repair solution.  It is an award-winning skincare collection that I myself am excited to try! 
 
 
 
 
 
For the Morning and The Office
$38.00
 
If you have a tea lover on your list, you'll want to check these newly launched collections from French brand Palais des Thés.  Known for its premium, all natural signature teas, there is a flavor for just about everyone, and every mood!  Collections include: For the Morning to help jump start your day, For the Brunch to accompany a yummy brunch, For the Office to take the edge off a stressful day at work, and For the Evening, to soothe and relax you before you head off to bed.  Each box contains 48 handmade cotton tea bags. 
 
 
 
 
 
Fleur de Geisha
$45.00
 
Treating our senses doesn't get much better then a cup of steaming hot tea alongside a luxurious, sensual candle.  Palais des Thés took it one step further and created an array of deliciously scented candles inspired by some of their best selling teas.  The Fleur de Geisha is based on an airy, and celestial scent of their cherry blossom scented green tea. Delicately crafted, these candles are promised to scent an area for up to 50 hours. 
 
 
 
N°25 limited edition
$21.00
 
In the spirit of the holiday season Palais des Thés has just launched the Thes N°25 limited edition: a collection of five blends of scented with vanilla, almond, rose petals citrus zests and spices.  Packaged in festive, decorative tins, these teas are the ultimate finishing touch to gathering around a cozy fire on a cold winter night!

Beauty Box 5: November


I was incredibly flattered when Beauty Box 5 invited me to be a part of their official blogger review team.  Beauty Box 5 is monthly subscription that delivers 5 select beauty samples straight to your doorstep.  It offers a choice of subscription options including: $12.00/month, $30.00/quarterly or $99.00/ yr. 
 
The theme for this month's box was the ultimate must haves needed to "prep, primp and sparkle".  Everything necessary to get you fully equipped for whatever a night out may bring!
 
 
 
 
Retail: $7.99
 
First up, a full size 1.6 oz sample of Secret's Clinical Strength Invisible Solid antiperspirant deodorant.  When it comes to deodorant I always go for the same one (Dove's prescription) but this had me pleasantly surprised.  The box states it is clinically proven to provide prescription strength wetness protection but seeing is believing right?  For me, this turned out to be totally adequate.  It had a sweet, cool scent that was very fresh.  It did indeed roll on invisible, and didn't form any of those icky white clumps like many deodorants out there do.  The formula was light and absorbed nicely.  However, the not so good news?  It didn't totally pass the smudge test.  Even though it glides on clear, it still managed to leave behind a bit of white residue on my black shirt.  But smudges aside, its quite effective if you're looking to evade the sweat monster.  I never felt one trace of wetness throughout the entire day and am considering purchasing it in the future.     
 
 
 

Retail: $2.49
 
Ironically the Montagne Jeunesse Glacial Cooling Face Mask was the most inexpensive item in the box but turned out to be one of my favs.  Application is fast and simple.  Just remove the cloth mask from the bag, and apply it over your cleansed skin.  This was an interesting experience for me because it was my first clay mask ever.  I was surprised when I unfolded it to see it have all the cut outs for your eyes etc.  I can't say I wasn't nervous, and may have briefly resembled Hannibal Lector, but end result?  I LOVE this mask, better then any I've tried from a tube.  I fully intend to try another.  The cloth was a smidgen too big for me and since its quite moist when you open it, I didn't bother trying to cut it down.  I just folded the edges around my hairline and let it sit for about 18 minutes (recommended is 10-15) but it felt so cool and refreshing that I wanted to soak up as much as I could.  It is made with real clay, arctic cloudberry and red grape to help cleanse pores and enhance skins natural barriers.  Once I rinsed off the bits of dried clay, my skin felt soft and rejuvenated.
 
 
 
 
Retail: $6.99
 
I'm already a fan of Aveeno products so I was happy to try the 2 oz bottle of Positively Nourishing Calming Body Wash in Lavender Chamomile and Ylang-Ylang.  The lavender scent is a sure fire way to relax at the end of a long day, and after cleansing my skin was soft and refreshed!
 
 
 
 
Retail: $4.99
 
We all know my obsession with chap sticks and lip balms.  So I tried hard not to pre-judge Body Drench's Lip Drench.. the verdict?
Satisfactory.  It made it into the emergency stash but I can't say I was impressed. Its consistency didn't have the rich or silky texture that I look for in these products.  It had more of a grainy texture, and even though it kept my lips moist, they never felt soothed.  It went on clear but I did notice a bit of white residue along the edges of my lips which made me realize it never fully absorbed.  It's good for a quick fix on a dry day, but I wouldn't expect it to do much in the dead of winter when your lips start cracking.  I realize this isn't actual chap stick, but I'd still expect that as a moisturizer, it should be a little stronger.  
 
 
 
 
Retail: $14.99
 
Now, for my favorite item in the box:  The bellapierre Shimmer Powder in Storm.  Its a gorgeous silver colour that had virtually NO fallout.  *Muah* This is the first bellapierre product I've tried and was quite impressed.  I applied a minimal amount of primer and it grabbed on ridiculously well.  Its staying power was amazing and it hadn't smudged or faded even a little by the end of the day.  Even though shimmers aren't necessarily my preference because I find it difficult to achieve even coverage and I just end up looking sloppy and too painted.  But I have to say this shimmer won me over.  It was easy to apply and I was able to build the intensity to my liking.  The colour is especially fabulous so I can sparkle for the upcoming holiday season :D
