Smashbox Wish for the Perfect Pout

smashbox_wish_for_perfect_pout One of the best holiday gifts I received last year was a collection of lip glosses from Smashbox and they are back this season and they’re at the top of my list (hint, hint). The Wish for the Perfect Pout set has six different glosses and you will use each one of them. I’ve always alternated between the two full-size ones since they’re neutral and when you need a bit more of a color pop, pick out one of the smaller glosses. Love the fact that I never felt the urge to get something new from the lip section of the makeup counter all year because I already had a little of everything with this Smashbox set. Another cool thing is that they will donate $1 for each Smashbox Wish for the Perfect Pout sets sold to Children’s Miracle Network which is the non-profit organization that grants wishes to sick kids. The value of the set is worth $96 but sells for $29 and it’s totally worth it.

by_boe_reminder_bow_ring With our lives being so busy, we don’t even have time to tie a string around our finger to remind us of the one thousand things on our to-do lists. Let the jewelry do the remembering the Reminder Bow Ring from By Boe. The simple 14k gold-filled ring is both modern and traditional and it’s also a great conversation starter piece when someone asks what you’re trying to remember. Just tell them it’s kind of like a post-it note for your finger and it says you’re really stylish.

la_contessa_necklace_bella_fiore If you love unique jewelry which can be described as vintage nature, you will adore La Contessa from Mary DeMarco. DeMarco studied in Italy and her pieces reflect this influence and they are all so gorgeous and distinct. The necklace featured here is the Bella Fiore and the 25” chain can be made shorter to change the look. There are matching bracelets and earrings to this line from La Contessa as well as other beautiful lines like La Vie en Rose, Earth and Sky, and Octopus Garden which feature owls, bees, dragonflies, sea life, frogs, and birds. We stumbled across the Bella Fiore necklace in a small gift shop and had to have it. La Contessa jewelry is gorgeous and its subtle beauty makes a statement.

burt's_bees_pomegrante_lip_balm It’s the time of year when the humidity goes down and your lips start feeling the pain. Treat your chapped lips to Burt’s Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil and they’ll be smiling again. The pomegranate oil is a cure-all for dryness and it’s also an antioxidant. We’ve tried all kinds of lip balms and chapsticks and this one is the best by far. The Burt’s Bees Replenishing Lip Balm is extremely hydrating and usually brings your lips back to normal after one coating. We suggest buying a few and sticking them around in different places so you’re never without one this fall and winter.

Sonia Kashuk Out of the Woods Makeup Brush Set

sonia_kashuk_brush_set We were just writing up a review of the Sonia Kashuk Out of the Woods Makeup Brush Set when it popped into our inbox as today’s Daily Deal on Target.com. These brushes are perfect for a purse or overnight bag because they’re smaller than most other brushes but still do a great job at applying makeup. The brushes are made from real wood and the hairs are both natural and synthetic and are very soft. No stiffness and that yucky plastic feeling like other brushes. The set comes in a zip-up case made of real cork and it’s cute but kind of flimsy so it’s more for the effect. The brushes are 60% off today with free shipping and come in a 4-piece set or a 6-piece set. Even if you don’t grab them today for the Daily Deal, they’re still a steal.

butter_london_3_free_nail_polish In a quest to find one good bottle of nail polish for the season, we discovered Butter London 3-Free Nail Lacquer. This import from the Brits is a toxin-free product and doesn’t contain formaldehyde or any of the other gnarly chemicals but this was just an added bonus as the quality of the polish is what made us lovers of this UK product. It goes on thick and stays a long time plus the color palette is full of neutrals, sparkles, and bolds. Check out Fash Pack which is described by Butter London as “putty meets mushroom” and since the color greige is all the rage this fall this is a must have for this season’s wardrobe.

jennifer_zeuner_love_letters_necklaceThe LOVE Letters Necklace from Jennifer Zeuner is perfectly named as this is what we are, in love. Almost ten years ago we saw Carrie wearing her name on her neckline and this gorgeous necklace is the new statement for the gals. It’s a classic piece with a modern edge that is super subtle and can be worn forever and will never go out of style. The LOVE Letters come on a 28” rope chain and is available in Gold Vermeil, Sterling Silver, White Gold, Yellow Gold, and Rose Gold. The more I write about it, the more I need this necklace. Valentine’s Day is still six months away, plenty of time to drop some hints.
