Hello my beautiful friends! It has been a minute! So wonderful to be back and blogging! I apologize for the hiatus. My husband and I just returned from the most incredible Thanksgiving adventure in America. We were able to spend Thanksgiving with my family in Pittsburgh and it was just the best. I feel like it was a Thanksgiving/Christmas celebration combined since I may have convinced my mom to put the tree up early. We visited Orlando, FL and were lucky enough to enjoy a Disney cruise, too! Truly the best.
This post should really be called “Last Minute Holiday Ideas For A Beauty Lover!” I know it’s a bit late to be posting holiday gift ideas but if you are like me then you haven’t bought a single gift yet. Oops. Here are a few of my holiday favorites that any beauty lover in your life would adore!
Bobbi Brown 2017 Holiday Highlighting Trio
This palette is the perfect option for anyone that loves the glow! It features 3 shades (from left to right) Nectar Glow, Pink Gold Glow and Golden Bronze Glow. It on sale at the moment on Sephora.com for $50USD which is a fantastic price for the amount of product!
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Vol. 3
Oh, Hourglass…you’ve done it again. It wouldn’t be Christmas without the new Hourglass palette! This palette features six shades (two blushes, one bronzer and three setting/highlighting powders.) The powders have the most silky finish. I particularly love this year’s palette because of the shade range. I’ve found that in the past years the shades have been geared towards those with fair skin. The previous palettes have been too light for my medium/olive skin tone and didn’t show up. This year’s is gorgeous because you’ve got enough pigment (particularly in the blushes) to work with all skin tones. It retails for $80USD on Sephora.com. This palette is definitely a splurge gift for someone that has been extra good this year!
Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops Set
This is such a fun little stocking stuffer for anyone on your list! These little highlighting drops are so fluid, gorgeous and will last forever! One tiny drop can light up your entire face! The set comes with four shades (Celestial, Halo, Moonlight and Rose Gold.) The smaller bottles are perfect to try out different shades. The set retails for $42USD on Sephora.com.
Tatcha Luminous Dewy Skin Mist
The most luxurious face mist there ever was. Yes, it is $50USD, no it can’t cook you dinner and do the dishes…BUT it will make you glow like never before. This is for the skincare lover in your life. This mist gives the most stunning glow when sprayed on top of makeup. The price tag is hefty for a face mist but there is truly no product that compares. I mean, one of the ingredients is silk. Doesn’t get more lush than that!
There you have it, my wonderful friends! My picks for the most glowing Christmas ever! I hope you are all enjoying your holiday season and enjoying time with family and friends. Let me know in the comments down below what your favorite holiday tradition is!
