Well it is that time of year, where all the beauty and cosmetic brands begin to release all their holiday gift sets for Christmas. We are in October, thanksgiving hasn't even passed, nor Halloween. Yet the winter holiday stuff is out already. Depressing in a way, if you live in Canada, and hate the snow like I do. Yes, I am aware Canada has snow, I did not chose to live here, my parents migrated here, and I am grateful.
So the holiday gift sets are my way of cheering myself up in the winter time. Plus I am a product junkie I love to try new products. Whats new this year for options? Well I will show you a couple of sets I purchased myself, and then I will show you some sets on my wish list for this holiday season. For credit purposes, all the sets I am showing you are off of https://www.sephora.com/ca and any product description I have simply taken off their website.
1. Sol De Janeiro Splashy Celebration Set $50 Canadian
This Set Contains:
- 3 oz/ 90 mL Brazilian Joia Strengthening + Smoothing Shampoo
- 3 oz/ 90 mL Brazilian Joia Strengthening + Smoothing Conditioner
- 2.5 oz/ 70 mL Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
- 1 oz/ 30 mL Brazilian Crush Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
This set my friends is my second set this season that I purchased from them. I am totally in love with their Brazilian Bum Bum cream and body mist. So I wanted to try out their shampoo and conditioner without having to fork over full price of the Shampoo and Conditioner. This was the perfect way to do that. This is smaller set, in regards to product quantity each, but I like the smaller sizes for my weekend bag, since I go back and forth between my own home and my boyfriends place. The cream is all the hype. Mainly for the scent, pistachio caramel, DIVINE. The mist smells the exact same way, and it stays on my clothes or my hair which is so delightful to wear. As for the shampoo and conditioner, be sure to stay tunes on those reviews, I have yet to finish the product to tell you my full based opinion. This is a great set if you know you like a couple products in it already and are wanting to try the others that come with the set!
2. Sol De Janeiro Wild Extravaganza Set $81 Canadian
This Set Contains:
- 8.1 oz/ 240 mL Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
- 3 oz/ 90 mL Brazilian Crush Hair & Body Fragrance Mist
- 3 oz/ 90 mL Brazilian 4 Play Moisturizing Shower Cream-Gel
- 0.21 oz/ 6.2 g Brazilian Kiss Cupuaçu Lip Butter
This set was the first one I purchased this year. It has a full size of the Bum Bum Cream, a larger size of the body mist compared to the first set above, and it also came with a travel size of a body wash, AND a FULL SIZE of a lip butter! That is 2 full size products which is fantastic in my eyes. I purchased this set last year and I love it every year. If you truly love this scent you will enjoy all of these products. The lip butter is nice on the lips especially in the winter. The body wash is nice however it doesn't last on the skin as long as it should for the price of a full size. Still a great yearly treat when this baby comes out.
3. Olehenriksen 3 Little Wonders Kit $68.60 Canadian (on sale)
This set contains:
- 1 oz/ 30 mL Truth Serum
- 1 oz/ 30 mL Sheer Transformation Perfecting Moisturizer
- 1 oz/ 30 mL Invigorating Night Transformation Gel
Now this set I have repurchased over the years. It is worth the price. You get 3 full size products. The truth serum you use during the day under moisturizer or primer. The Transformation moisturizer can be used day and night, and the night gel can be used nightly under your moisturizer. These 3 products are basically all you need for a simple skin care routine once you cleanse the face. No muss no fuss. So worth it. Ps. if you are using chemical exfoliates don't forget to put on your SPF during the day.
I will leave you with these 3 to start. Stay tuned I will be posting another post with the ones on my wish list. That one will be longer LOL
