This is a palette that I want for myself. Actually, I want/need two; one for myself and another for my kit. I’d prefer this over the Urban Decay Naked palette for my kit because it doesn’t have many shimmer shadows. Shimmer isn’t always the best for bridal. Plus, the shades in this palette are gorgeous.

This is actually a gift set that I want for myself. I love all of the colors, and they are fall-friendly. All of the beautiful berry tones are just lovely.

I’m a fan of a quality makeup brush, and what makes it even better is if they are affordable. You know how much I love my Real Techniques Brushes. If you’re just getting into makeup the set is perfect for you, if not, check my review to see which of these I recommend everyone should have at least one of.

Having beautiful skin should be on everyone’s wishlist not only for the holidays, but all year round. Every year I place a Clarisonic on my holiday gift guides. This year is no different. I own the Clarisonic MIA, and I know it works; therefore, once again it’s on this holiday gift guide. Now with the ARIA, and all of its new features I think I want to upgrade my MIA. We shall see!

CLARISONIC ‘Aria – Black’ Sonic Skin Cleansing System

Clean skin is the first line of defense to ensure having clearer, smoother skin. In addition to the Clarisonic, a good skincare regimen is essential. First Aid Beauty makes it possible. I love their cleanser, radiance pads, and moisturizer.

With Tria Beauty’s Skin Perfecting Blue Light Treatment (see review) acne sufferers can achieve clearer, smoother skin without the hassle of going to the dermatologists for treatments.

It is never too early to start anti-aging treatments, especially when you’re in your 20’s. I love this Algenist Micro Polish and peel. It is super easy to use, and it leaves my skin feeling baby soft and smooth; my skin even looks brighter afterward. It’s good for all skin types, even sensitive skin, which is why it made my Holiday Gift Guide. I also like to use their Concentrated Reconstructing Serum. If you or someone you know like speedy results, try the Targeted Deep Wrinkle minimize, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles almost instantly. Trust me, it’s amazing!

Beachwaves look good all-year-round. This is an item I was introduced to at a QVC event, the SarahPotempa Beachwaver. I love it! It makes getting beach wave curls easy peasy! If beach wave curls are something you’ve craved, I suggest picking this up.

An at-home waxing kit is a must-have item on my holiday gift guide. When I can’t make it to Shobha or Completely Bare for my treatments, I usually end up using the Bliss Poetic Waxing Kit. I love this wax. Out of all the ones I’ve used, this one is the easiest and virtually painless.
