Chic stocking stuffers!

Whether you’re wanting to get your favorite fashionista a more thoughtful stocking stuffer, a Secret Santa or even NYE party favor, there are a couple of things that are pocket-sized, but pack a big punch! I was happy to be hosted to experience them.

Mineral Fusion is a line that’s cruelty-free, America’s #1 natural cosmetics brand. They have the Natural Beauty Eye & Lip Kit that’s great for anyone who wears makeup. It includes their So Classy Volume mascara in Jet Black. It has peptides, which is an ingredient considered beneficial to skin and hair. Why “So Classy”? Well, it doesn’t go on like tar. It has elegant, buildable darkening and defining of the lashes. Always appropriate, always elegant. 

Hydro-Shine Lipgloss in Paris is the hot color and formulation of the system. It’s a demi-sheer pale pink with micro shimmer, sold-out in so many places. Wear it alone for polish or over a lipstick or lipliner for a more finished look. Over other colors, it acts like those jewelry “doublets” that put a layer of quartz over gemstones.

People are discovering facial shaping tools as a safe — and better — alternative to face lifts. Let’s face it (if that’s not too bad a pun): how many millionaire celebrities have you seen with terrible face lift results? Surgery is a crap-shoot and is more likely to make you look like a freak than not. Sorry if that’s some tough love! There are also electric devices that some people like, but it you have sensitive skin or breakouts, you could be irritating your complexion further. Instead, True Botanicals has a soothing, safe and effective tool! 3X Sculpt Facial Tool incorporates an eye roller to get rid of the puffs — keep it in the fridge for even more effectiveness. There’s also a built-in gua sha, the era’s hottest ancient flashback in skincare. It smoothes lines and activates facial muscles for firming. There’s also a wand for chiseling the bone structure, like the electronic devices. It’s very ergometric, so you can easily use it while you’re watching tv. It’s no bigger than a cell phone!
