Beauty Christmas Wish List 2015



Hello My Beauties,

I know it’s been a long time since I posted on my blog. I have been really busy with my full time job and my YouTube channel, my blog has been put last on my list for now. BUT I am back, and I will try to post here more often. There is nothing like reading to relax.
Today’s topic is my Beauty Christmas Wish list for 2015. I have a ton of items on my wish list, just like any beauty lover does. But I narrowed it down to my top 5 items I want to splurge on myself for the holidays.  

Nars Steven Klein Collaboration One Shocking Moment Cheek Palette ($92 C)

  • This is on my wish list this year because NARS has expensive blushes individually and the best way to get more bang for your buck is Holiday Palettes. This palette comes  with 4 Blushes, 2 Contour Blushes, and 1 Bronzing powder. This is a palette worth $192, but at Sephora is $92 Canadian. You save basically $100 on the palette of products. LOVE IT! This is my top item I want for this year in beauty.


Beauty blender two original beauty blenders® & liquid blender cleanser® ($50 C) 

  •   If you are a beauty lover, then you can never have enough beauty blenders. “They” say that you should change your beauty blender every 3 months. I try to keep my beauty sponges as sanitized as I possibly can. So mine stretch a bit longer than 3 months. However, you still need to replace them, and to get two beauty blenders in a pack for a little over the price of one is a steal. This set comes with two beauty blender sponges , and one liquid blender cleanser for $50 at Sephora. Each beauty blender single is worth $28 Canadian, and the cleanser is $25 Canadian for 5 oz. This set is worth over a $80 value and you only paying $50. That’s a $30 savings! Do you see my readers who much more you get for your buck when you take advantage of this time of years value sets? 

 

Ole Henriksen The Works Kit ($47 C)

  • Personally for me, I love to stock up at this time of year on Skin care products. Ole Henriksen is a great brand for skin care of all ages. Their products individually are a bit pricey, but again during this time of year, they come out with these amazing gift sets for you to be able to try a good group of their skin care products. This set particularly is one of my favorites, and it’s under $50 range. It comes with Invigorating night treatment gel, African red tea foaming cleanser, sheer transformation moisturizer, ultimate lift eye gel, and the truth serum collagen booster.  This set is amazing for those skin care lovers who want to try close to everything. What I love most of this brand is that these products are formulated without Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates. To try all these products for under $50 is a definite MUST! To try all these products for under $50 is a definite MUST! 
  • - PhTo try all these products for under $50 is a definite MUST! 
- Parabens - Sulfates - Phthalates- Parabens - Sulfates - Phthalates- Parabens - Sulfates - Phthalates

  Agave Smoothing Trio ($39 C)

  • With this winter cold weather, it’s very important to change up your hair care products like you do with your skin care. Heavier hydrating products such as oils during the colder months is ok for your hair. I have been dying to try this Agave set for a long time, and this is a perfect set to try 3 products from the line for under $40! It comes with a Smoothing shampoo, smoothing conditioner, and their hair oil treatment. Ladies and gentlemen please make sure you keep your hair hydrated during these colder months.  This line of products also is formulated without Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalates. Added bonus!

MAC Oval 6 Brush ($50.50 C)

  • My last item on my wish list (but definitely not least) Is the MAC oval 6 brush. I saw this brush being used on a model one day I was at a MAC Class. I was totally blown way on the finish this brush gave liquid foundation on the skin. My opinion is when it comes to brushes, I don’t mind investing in them because I know I take care of them and they will last me a life time. So I am definitely going to be getting this brush for myself as a Christmas gift. Sometimes you just need to splurge a little on yourself. If you are ever unsure of any beauty products to try for yourself, know that you can never go wrong with investing in good makeup brushes. They will last you a long time, as long as you take care of them, and it does make a difference on the application of your makeup whether you are using high end or drug store products.



Well that is my top 5 beauty wish list for this year, let me know what you all are wishing for this holiday season. I wish all of you Happy Holidays, and a Happy New Year.

Whats new at SEPHORA Part 3 (Gift Ideas): Origins Best Seller Kit

Ola beauties! I can't believe how quick these weeks are flying by! Before you know it, the holidays will be here! Today's gift idea is the Origins Best Seller kit from Sephora. This kit contains the following:



This set contains:
- 1 oz Checks and Balances™ Frothy Face Wash
- 0.5 oz Clear Improvement™ Active Charcoal Mask To Clear Pores
- 1 oz High Potency Night-A-Mins™ Mineral-Enriched Renewal Cream
- 1 oz GinZing™ Energy-Boosting Moisturizer
- 0.5 oz Plantscription™ Youth-Renewing Face Oil
- 0.5 oz GinZing™ Refreshing Eye Cream

The description below is from the Sephora web site:
http://www.sephora.com/bestsellers-kit-P389346?icid2=Homepage_CAN_110314_editorspicks_carousel_P389346_link 

What it is formulated to do:
This must-have collection of products creates a beautiful, glowing, hydrated, healthy-looking complexion. The gentle Frothy Face Wash maintains oil production and balances and protects dry zones, leaving skin feeling comfortably refreshed after cleansing—never tight, pulled, or parched. The Active Charcoal Mask draws out deep-dwelling pore-cloggers: white China clay absorbs environmental toxins while lecithin dissolves impurities. The Renewal Cream is fortified with a system of time-released resurfacers plus vitamins C, E, and H, minerals, and moisture-rich replenishers. It sloughs away dry, dead layers so you wake to a radiant, refreshed complexion. This lightweight, oil-free, Energy-Boosting Moisturizer is fortified with legendary skin-boosters like panax ginseng and coffee bean to jumpstart hydration levels. Lackluster-looking skin is rapidly revitalized to create a healthy, vibrant glow. The light, quick-absorbing Face Oil helps hydrate skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles with no greasy residue.


I have tried a couple items from the Origins line and I find their products really enjoyable. The plus side to this set is that these products are made without Parabens, Sulfates, and Phthalate.  That is a pure bonus especially for those health , non chemical conscious folks out there!



1 oz Checks and Balances™ Frothy Face Wash  
  • Love this face wash! It has a mint scent to it, but it lathers up so well and the face and it seriously cleans the skin without stripping all your natural oils. So enjoyable to use. I plan on picking up the full size once I am done with this travel size.
  • Full size of this product is $25.50 Canadian, $21.50 American


 0.5 oz Clear Improvement™ Active Charcoal Mask To Clear Pores
  •  This great mask is featured in a smaller Sephora gift set back in my Part 1 post. After figuring out how to take it off properly, I realized this mask does wonders for my skin and helps with the limitations of breakouts. If you don't want to spend the large amount on the GlamGlow clearing treatment you could option this one as it is over $20 less then the GlamGlow and still does a decent job.
  • Full size price of this product is $29 Canadian, and $25 American

1 oz High Potency Night-A-Mins™ Mineral-Enriched Renewal Cream
  • This night time moisturizer is enriched with Orange extracts, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. It is a thicker consistency as it is meant to be used before bedtime. Smells like citrus orange and deeply moisturizes the skin overnight. Definitely one to try for a night time treat.
  • Full size of this product is $51 Canadian, $41 American


 1 oz GinZing™ Energy-Boosting Moisturizer 
  • This day time moisturizer is enriched with coffee beans and ginzing. This formula has a light weight consistency and absorbs quickly into the skin so you can apply your make up on to get your day going.
  • Full size of this product is $32 Canadian, $26.50 American



 0.5 oz Plantscription™ Youth-Renewing Face Oil
  • Fortified with 20 special oils from around the world including raspberry seed oil, argan oil, tamanu oil, and primrose, this face oil absorbs on-contact and helps smooth the appearance of fine, dry lines. It helps repair skin’s barrier and replace vital youth-renewing lipids lost with age, leaving your skin refreshed
  • Full size of this product is $61 Canadian , $49.50 American 



 0.5 oz GinZing™ Refreshing Eye Cream
  •  This eye cream is infused with coffee beans and ginzing. This formula is easy to absorb into the skin, brightens the under eye area and DE-puffs those unwanted bags. 
  • Full size of this product is $37.50 Canadian, $30 American

This little set is a great option for those skin care lovers out there. This kit is $46 Canadian and $38 American. Great idea and you get to try 6 different products. I really enjoy using Origins products. They are gentle on the skin, and you notice an improvement of skin health after using these products over time.

Until next time beauty lovers <3

Whats new at SEPHORA Part 2 (Gift Ideas) : GlamGlow Gift Sexy


Ola beauties lovers. Another What's new at Sephora post today. I tell this to everyone who loves beauty. If you are not willing to spend the expensive amount of money on one full size GlamGlow mask, this time of the year is when you should splurge on a GlamGlow gift set and get more product for the money you are spending.

 

Sephora is offering the GlamGlow Gift Sexy set. Which comes with the following:
This set contains:
-1.7 oz THIRSTYMUD™ Hydrating Treatment
- 0.5 oz SUPERMUD™ Clearing Treatment
- 0.5 oz YOUTHMUD™ Tinglexfoliate Treatment

Sephora Claims the following- http://www.sephora.com/gift-sexy-P389000?keyword=GLAMGLOW%20Gift%20Sexy%20P389000&skuId=1651934&country_switch=ca&_requestid=62604

What it is formulated to do:
This trio of products reveals smooth, hydrated, healthy-looking skin. The non-drying Hydrating Treatment mask delivers instant, extreme hydration while replenishing, restoring, and calming the skin. The multitasking Clearing Treatment helps fight all common skin concerns for mind-blowing results, leaving you with seemingly poreless skin. The Tinglexfoliate Treatment contains super antioxidants and minerals that work together to tingle, exfoliate, brighten, tighten, and resurface in as little as 10 minutes, leaving you with a youthful radiant complexion. 


Speaking based on having tried all these three masks, I have to say I love the GlamGlow mask collection. This gift set is going for $76.00 Canadian, and $69.00 American. Which is equaled to the cost of a full size GlamGlow mask. So if you think about it, it is more worth the money to purchase the set so you get more product out of it then you normally would if you purchased the normal full size jar. P.s. A full size GlamGlow Jar is 1.3oz. So theoretically you are getting a little bit more than twice the amount of product for the cost of one jar.


1.7 oz THIRSTYMUD™ Hydrating Treatment 
  • This mask is by far an amazing mask for the colder months. Smells like coconuts, pretty much smells tropical. Makes you feel like you are away on vacation. This mask can be used for a short 10 min facial or you can use it as a sleep mask as well. I love sleeping with it on. The next morning my face looks so radiant and plump, as if I was reborn with the perfect skin. This is the largest jar you get, and it is the best for this time of year. P.s When you apply to the face you only need the most thin layer to apply to the face. 



0.5 oz SUPERMUD™ Clearing Treatment 
  • This is another one of my top favorite masks to use. Before I started going to the dermatologist, I received some samples of this puppy, and I kid you not when I say that this mask brought down my cystic acne dramatically over 3 uses. I was so impressed. Ever since I purchased a full size, AND I now have a travel size from this gift set as well. This mask will pull all impurities out of your skin and you will be able to physically see it on the surface of your skin once the mask dries, before you wash it away. Amazing technology, two thumbs up in my book. What I do is because I don't want to waste it on the entire face, I only use it as a spot treatment where I need it to get rid of any acne breakouts or spots. The smell of it reminds me of menthol but that doesn't bother me. If you like minty smells then you wouldn't mind it.


0.5 oz YOUTHMUD™ Tinglexfoliate Treatment 

  •  Out of these three masks, this mask is my least favorite. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy it, really if you think about it, who wouldn't enjoy a high end facial mask? But the tingling aspect of this mask, along with the pieces of Green Tea Leaf pieces mixed in there kinda makes me trip out a bit. You know what I mean? Like what is the tea leaf pieces really going to do to my skin except for scrape my skin. I wouldn't say it's a gentile exfoliate at all. But if your skin can take a harsh exfoliate knock yourself out! I mean I will still use it since it came in the package, I am just glad this one came in the smaller size.

 This set is a bit more on the higher end of the cost scale, but it is still less than $100 and any girl on the receiving end of this gift set will definitely be kissing you thanks since these masks are the top rated in the beauty world at the moment. Guys take note!

Good luck all with your Holiday Shopping!

Stay tuned for Part 3 !

Until next time beauty lovers! <3

Whats new at SEPHORA Part 1 (Gift Ideas) : Beauty Unmasked

Ola beauty lovers! So I am starting a new series. What is new at Sephora? This will give you guys and gals some ideas on gifts for this coming holiday season. I know we all have that stress of having to purchase gifts in bulk before the good old December 25th. So I am hear to help you all out on some ideas that you can pick up for under $100 .

Today's gift set is the Sephora Favorites Beauty Unmasked gift set. This is limited edition so if you want to jump on it now is the time!


This Set Contains:
- 1.7 oz Origins Clear Improvement™ Active Charcoal Mask To Clear Pores
- 1 oz Boscia Luminizing Black Mask
- 0.5 oz Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask
- 0.5 oz Glamglow Thirstymud™ Hydrating Treatment

Sephora's website explains this set as below: http://www.sephora.com/beauty-unmasked-P389039?keyword=sephora%20unmasked&skuId=1636901&country_switch=ca&_requestid=48162

What it is formulated to do:
Calm, resurface, and treat skin concerns with these four mask formulas from our top brands. Clear Improvements is a charcoal-based detox mask, which draws out impurities and clears pores as it dries. Peel-off the week with Luminizing Black Mask, which removes dirt and impurities while gently exfoliating to reveal fresh, luminous skin. Thirsty Mud is a non-drying hydration mask that melts in to deliver instant, extreme hydration. Cucumber Gel Mask helps soothe, hydrate, and detoxify dry, irritated skin. 


I have used three out of the four masks in this set. I love all three of them. The fourth mask Boscia black mask I have yet to test out, but that is why I love these holiday sets. You get more for what you spend.

Speaking of spending, this set is going for $37 Canadian Dollars, $29 American Dollars. So needless to say this is a great deal. All four masks are high end masks. They do all kinds of wonders to the skin. Consider this your spa night at home.

1.7 oz Origins Clear Improvement™ Active Charcoal Mask To Clear Pores 
  • When I first tried the Origins Charcoal Mask I was using it wrong. When I removed it from my face, I would remove it with a warm face cloth, but my skin would be Rosie afterward. So I decided to remove the mask only with medium warm water and my finger tips. Which did an amazing job and my skin looks radiant after ward. This charcoal mask is to act as a mask that pulls all impurities out of your skin. All the gunk and dirt etc. If you can't afford the GlamGlow Supermud clearing mask, then this would be your next best charcoal mask to try to remove all the crap from your skin. Just trust me, make sure you use warm water and your finger tips only to remove it from your skin. You can thank me later! Ps. Full size price for this product is $29 Canadian, and $25 American.

1 oz Boscia Luminizing Black Mask
  •  Ok, so I have not yet tried this mask as of yet. But this mask was one of the reasons why I wanted this set. Why ? Because it intrigued me. This is what the Sephora Website claims for the Boscia Black Mask
What it is formulated to do:
This jet-black, mineral-rich mask creates a unique peel-off effect that delivers powerful detoxifying, purifying, and brightening results. Made with a premier-quality clay, its deep-cleansing properties draw out dirt and oil. Other natural ingredients go to work exfoliating skin and refining pores. Powerful antioxidants shrink pores, firm skin, and reduce inflammation. Once dried, the mask strips away dead skin, impurities and excess oil to reveal immediate and visible results.

  • After reading the above, do you see now why I am intrigued to try this baby out? Will keep you posted, but I figured buying this set would be more worth it for me because I can try this mask and get three other masks I love and enjoy using. 
  • This mask in full size is $42 Canadian, $34 American.


0.5 oz Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask 
  • This mask is AMAZING for hydration! The trick to this mask is, put the gel mask in the fridge to cool. Then apply to the skin and let it sit for 10 or 15 minutes, then rinse off with cool water. You will see the results x5 when you put this in the fridge to chill for a couple minutes prior to application. This is a great mask to rehydrate your skin, especially with the colder months coming. When it is chilled prior, it gives your skin a plump radiance to your skin once you rinse it off. Once of my all time face masks for hydration. 
  • This mask in full size is $45 Canadian, $34 American.

0.5 oz Glamglow Thirstymud™ Hydrating Treatment 
  • What can I say about the famous GlamGlow products? I know I know, they are dang expensive. Which is another reason why I picked up this set because it came with the thirsty mud mask. With the colder weather here, my skin just dries up and I moisturize and moisturize and sometimes it feels like its just never enough! This GlamGlow mask is AMAZING! You can apply a thin layer before bed and sleep with it on over night. When you wake up in the morning OMG, your skin looks luscious and plump like its never been exposed to the harsh environment.
  • Take advantage of these high end gift sets because this is where you can control your spending and get more brands to try at a lesser cost!
  • Full size this mask costs $76 Canadian, $69 American


This is one of the top gift sets any woman would enjoy if she loves the beauty industry. Even if you are looking for yourself, believe me you do not want to pass up on this set while you can get your hands on it! Like I said before, you can thank me later :)

Stay tuned for Part 2 coming soon! xo

Until next time beauty lovers! <3
