Stocking Stuffer Suggestion #12, Alterna Caviar Moisture Travel Gift Set
Wrapped in its original packaging, the Alterna Caviar Moisture Set makes a terrific petite present this holiday season. Remove each item from the box, and this gift set contains three terrific Alterna haircare products tiny enough to fit into a stocking, but large enough to win hugs of gratitude! The Alterna Caviar Moisture Travel Gift Set includes a 1.7 oz. Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Shampoo, a 1.7 oz. Caviar Anti-Aging Moisture Conditioner, and a 0.85 oz. Caviar Anti-Aging Rapid Repair Spray. I’ve reviewed the Caviar Anti-Aging Rapid Repair Spray in the past, and absolutely love it. The Caviar line of Shampoo and Conditioner is super-moisturizing, but doesn’t weigh hair down. Perfect for everyday use!
The Alterna Caviar Moisture Set retails for $25 at SkinStore.com.
Sephora The Smokey Eye Kit
Ah yes, the smoky eye… everyone who writes about beauty has typed the word "smoky" so frequently this season, those letters are worn out on our keyboards. Yet still, so many beauty lovers are puzzled about how to achieve this look.
Sephora imparts their wisdom with the Sephora Brand The Smokey Eye Kit ($71 Value), a gorgeous platinum colored brush case housing the five key brushes that must be in your possession for perfect application.
Sephora’s Smokey Eye Kit includes five Sephora Professionelle brushes (wide smudge, all over shadow, small domed smudge, detail, and dual-sided brow brush and comb), a Sephora Volume Mascara in black and an amazingly detailed instructional how-to booklet, all packaged in a chic gunmetal faux leather case.
The Smokey Eye Kit retails for $42 at Sephora.
Stocking Stuffer Suggestion #11, Bourjois Kisses From Paris Gloss Set
How could anyone possibly pass up stuffing four mini-sized Bourjois Effet 3D Mobile High Shine Lip Glosses into the stocking of a beauty fanatic this season. These glosses are intended to be charms for your cell phone, but their small size makes them ideal for anyone who needs to pack makeup in a small space. Each mini-gloss ordinarily retails for $9, so this is also quite the economical way to ensure the beauty lover in your life gets to sample this best-selling (and award winning) gloss by Bourjois.
Head over to Sephora to buy your Bourjois Kisses From Paris Set.
