gifts we love
Solar Lip Rescue
Perfect for: The practical beauty
Give the gift of moist, kissable lips this holiday. Solar Lip Rescue helps alleviate chapped, dry and cracking lips. The clear formula, which includes vitamins C and E, can be applied by itself, or used as a base for lip color. This lip emollient also stimulates collagen production, resulting in plumper, softer lips. Bring on the mistletoe! (Skin Authority, $24)
Mimosa Flavored Lip Shine
Perfect for: The glam girl
After using Solar Lip Rescue, this oh-so-yummy Mimosa-flavored lip shine will seal the deal. Plus, it hydrates and softens lips for an added bonus. Give the gift of this champagne and citrus flavor, or choose from other delicious flavors such as cinnamon buns, vanilla birthday cake and raspberry sorbet. Are you hungry yet? (Philosophy, $10)
On the Cuff
Perfect for: The beauty diva
Have you ever washed your face, only to end up with water running down your arms and onto your clothes? Annoying! On the Cuff eliminates that issue, which makes it the perfect gift for the beauty diva. This product includes a pair of bracelet-type rings that stop water from running down your arms while washing your face, rinsing the dishes or even washing the car. This clever beauty find is also under $10, making it an ideal stocking stuffer. (RB Designs, $9)
Beauty Spoon
Perfect for: Beauty on a budget
The Beauty Spoon is another product that solves an annoying beauty issue. We spend lots of money on expensive creams and lotions each year, only to throw out perfectly good product since we can’t get it out of the bottle or dispenser. The Beauty Spoon fits inside product bottles and containers to retrieve every last ounce of liquid and cream. Your thrifty beauty fan will love the simplicity of this tool, and how much money it saves her. (Alexa Brands, $10)
Sweets For Feet
Perfect for: The pampered beauty
Pamper your pal with these scrumptious foot creams. They’re made with aloe vera and shea butter, combined with eight exotic fruit extracts that provide antioxidant and anti-aging properties. Plus, they moisturize without the grease factor. Choose from mouth-watering flavors such as Baklava, Buttercream Dream, Ginger Spice Cookie and Lemonade Cake. Here’s the description for Buttercream Dream: “The warmth of vanilla and brown sugar combine to conjure childhood memories of cookies and milk innocence. Stress melts away in an aromatic, soft hug.” Yum! (Sweets For Feet, $20)
Lavender Fortune Cookie Fizzies
Perfect for: The bathing beauty
A nice, long, relaxing bath is in your future. All you need to make this fortune come true? A $6 pack of fortune cookie fizzies.
