Holiday 2007: The Luxe List

We’re getting down to the wire here! Christmas is approaching fast… but those of you shopping for the person with everything are most likely still shopping (and pulling your hair out). Looking to treat someone in your life to a truly luxurious beauty splurge? Perhaps this year they’ve been really REALLY good? These holiday beauty gifts are a combination of generosity and practicality.

	There’s a reason some of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood use La Mer. Treat someone special to a collection of three world-renowned anti-aging products by purchasing the "Essential Collection" by La Mer. This gift set includes a 2 oz. jar of Creme de la Mer, The Lifting Face Serum, The Eye Concentrate and a limited edition metal and white vanity tray. Trust me… she will want to display this collection on the vanity! Spoil your loved one with the best! La Mer’s Essential Collection retails for $615 at Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman.
	She may already own makeup brushes, but are hers adorned with 24-karat gold accents and ebony handles? I think not! This gorgeous brush set by Bobbi Brown includes the following brushes: Eye Shade, Eye Shadow, Ultra Fine Eye Liner, Eye Brown, Face Blender, Bronzer, Blush, Powder, Foundation and Concealer. The beauty lover in your life will be left absolutely speechless. The Bobbi Brown Luxe Brush Collection retails for $615 at Bergdorf Goodman.
	Think luxe personal care items are only for her? Think again! This luxurious Shave Set by Anthony Logistics is nickel plated, and the amazingly dense shaving brush is made of badger hair. The razor is conveniently compatible with Mach 3 or Sensor razors (available at drugstores). For $300, the Anthony Logistics For Men Shave Set will treat your man’s face with tender loving care for a lifetime.
	This limited-edition atomizer by Prada is filled with their classic original scent, and can be removed from the reusable burgundy colored crocodile leather case. Only 100 have been made, so this is a truly unique gift! This fabulous product by Prada retails at Bergdorf Goodman for $550.

Stocking Stuffer Suggestion #10, Oral Fixation Mints

Oral Fixation Mints

What good is the perfect makeup application if your breath smells like eggs? This holiday season, you can stuff the stockings of your loved ones with Oral Fixation mints. Each package of mints is housed in a cigarette-case styled metallic tin, thin enough to slip into the back pocket of your jeans. At only $2.99 a pop, you can easily stock up on this thoughtful stocking-stuffer for the entire family. These mints are available in 10 flavors (some standard mint flavors, and some extremely creative twists): Mojito Mint, Classical Peppermint, Night Light, Spare Mint, 7 Deadly Cinnamon, Jasmints, Fabulous Fruit, Mimosa Mint, and Antioximints.

I absolutely loved every single flavor I tried, but must highly recommend "Night Light". Aside from sweetening the breath, this caffeinated mint will also ensure the recipient is able to stay up to ring in the New Year with you!

Oral Fixation mints can be found in Dean & Deluca, specialty food stores nationwide, as well as online at on the Oral Fixation website.
