Spray Perfect Makes a Great Stocking Stuffer This Holiday Season

nailpolish1

As many of you know we have all daughters, so things like makeup and nail polish are always popular gifts in our home during the holidays.  I recently found this really cool product called Spray Perfect.  I had never heard of this but it looked super cool so we decided to try it.  With Spray Perfect you can spray on your nail polish!  It’s supposed to be faster and easier.

nailpolish3

So the first step is to put on your base coat (the include a top/base coat so that is nice).  Then hold the can so you can get an even coat and spray it onto the nails.  Make sure to do this with something under your hand to catch any excess spray.  Allow this to dry, then put on your top coat. Once it’s all dry just wash your hands and wash away any extra polish on your fingers.  It stays on your nails but washes away from your skin.

nailpolish5

I was really surprised at how fast and easy it was. As you can see it did leave a bit around the edges of my nail that I had to go back and spend some time getting off but other then that it worked really well.  Cute and easy.  My daughters loved it too.

Spray Perfect makes great stocking stuffers this holiday season.  Simply put a bottle or two in the stockings and gift some beautiful nails this holiday season!

You can find out more on the Spray Perfect Website.

Juice Beauty Has All of Your Makeup Needs Covered

juicebeauty1

*This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

As many of my readers know I have all girls, the oldest three are 15, 20, and 25.  So makeup is a must have in this household.  They seem to always be asking for more makeup or they are out of something.  Looking for quality makeup though is key.  I find that even if I have to spend a little more that it tends to last longer because they don’t have to use as much of a better quality item.  Plus I can feel safe as a mom know they are using quality items not products full of harmful chemicals.  I recently came across a great company called Juice Beauty.

Juice Beauty offers award winning skincare, makeup and hair care products that meet rigorous U.S., organic regulations supported by solid eco-values that include purchasing many ingredients locally from West Coast certified organic farmers and manufacturing strictly in the U.S.A. often with solar power, utilizing sustainable containers and printing with soy ink.  We recently tried out their PHYTO-PIGMENTS Flawless Serum FoundationPHYTO-PIGMENTS Luminous Lip Crayon, PHYTO-PIGMENTS Ultra-Natural Mascara, and Green Apple skincare products.

juicebeauty8

The Phyto-Pigments flawless serum foundation is great.  Comes in several different shades so you can get the perfect match for your skin tone.  Also build on your look by using several shades for contouring.  Skin perfecting foundation and age-defying serum in one with concentrated plant-derived Phyto-Pigments. This buildable to full-coverage formula blends seamlessly for a flawless finish while delivering a noticeably smoother, more youthful looking appearance. Formulated without silicones, its hydrating coconut alkanes and antioxidant-rich technology provides comfort, as well as leaving skin looking radiant. It feels great on the skin, and blends really well.

juicebeauty3

PHYTO-PIGMENTS Ultra-Natural Mascara makes your lashes look great.  You can instantly see a difference when you apply it.  Love this mascara, it makes my eyes pop and look amazing. Volumizing nutrient-rich mascara powered by intense plant-derived Phyto-Pigments for a feathery-soft look and feel after every smooth, buildable coat. Non-drying formula leaves lashes clump-free and is designed to minimize smudging and flaking.

juicebeauty5

PHYTO-PIGMENTS Luminous Lip Crayon is great for all over lip coverage.  I love the pencil, it is so easy to apply and get full coverage. Comes in a variety of colors so you can get that perfect shade. A unique blend of plant-derived Phyto-Pigments with replenishing emollients to keep lips soft with a smooth, creamy texture and a lightweight feel. Combining the convenience of a pencil with the application of a lipstick in a jumbo-sized crayon design, these pigment-rich sticks provide beautiful, subtle shine and comfortable wear. Contains the Juice Beauty exclusive Moisture Plant Blend (glycerin, betaine and phospholipids) to increase skin hydration and the Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments exclusive blend of rose, eggplant, moringa and eclipta daisy.

I am in love with the Green Apple Peel skincare line.  As someone who is getting older I notice more and more wrinkles and lines.  This skincare line is great, feels amazing on my skin and makes my face feel so healthy after use.

GREEN APPLE Peel Blemish Clearing:

This patented peel is designed to supercharge the blemish clearing process by exfoliating and clearing, resulting in an even skin tone and texture. Formulated with salicylic acid to clear clogged pores, and organic aloe, vitamins and antioxidants to help rejuvenate, smooth and hydrate skin.

Sea Buckthorn, also touted as a ‘miracle berry’ by Dr. Oz, is a robust superfruit packed full of powerful antioxidants, vitamins, essential fatty acids and the entire family of Omegas (3, 6, 9 AND the rare Omega 7).  SeabuckWonders helps with hydrating the skin causing it to be smoother and healthier, making your hair shine, and improving your smile and nails.  There are even health benefits like healthier digestion.  I recently got to try out a few of their products and I love them.

seaback2

They have a great omega 7 complete supplement that helps to improve your skin, digestion, make your hair shiny, and even improve your smile and nails.  If you have ever taken prenatal vitamins it has a lot of the same effects only better.  It’s a great way to boost your health.  I’m not a big fan of telling others what supplements they should take so all I can say is that it helps improve my health and I like the benefits.

They have some great facial products.  I tried out the facial cream and the facial cleanser and they worked great for my skin.  The cleanser is great for making sure to get any extra oils, makeup, etc. off of your face at the end of the day.  The facial cream is great for daily use to moisturize and hydrate the skin.  I put it on daily before make-up and it really makes my skin feel great.

seaback4

I love their body lotion as well.  I keep a bottle in my purse at all time.  It feels great on your skin and keeps your skin hydrated and healthy throughout the day.  In the winter I have a hard time keeping my skin from getting dry so this is great to have on hand.  It really helps a lot.

Give the Gift of Convenience & Style with Ms. Dress Up

msdressup1

Ever have that problem of trying to zip up your dress but you can’t reach the zipper in the back?  Well I just found this great company called Ms Dress Up and they have you covered.  Basically how it works is an ornamental chain hooks into the zipper of a high-back dress and is used as an extension to the existing pull, acting as a pulley to effortlessly zip yourself up. The hook fits into a variety of zippers, including invisible zippers. Afterwards the chain becomes an elegant necklace, bracelet or anklet.  Then it is always handy when you need it to zip the dress up or down at the end of the night.  They have two styles a heart or a flower.  They are super cute.

msdressup3

They work really well.  You can easily clip it onto the zipper and pull up or down.  I love them as jewelry too.  I like better as a necklace but if you like a chunkier chain on a bracelet or anklet it works as those as well.

Ms Dress Up makes a super cute little gift idea.  They come in a cute little bag so you can just gift it as is.  These are great for any women you know, they solve the aged old problem of zipping up your dress without needing help!  They make great stocking stuffers too.

You can find Ms Dress Up on their website.

Great Beauty Gifts From Belli

belli1

One thing that I love to put in my kiddos stockings and to get in my own is beauty products.  Things that are practical and something that they can use daily.  Belli is one of my favorite places to get great skincare products.  Two of my favorites are the all day moisture body lotion and pure and pampered body wash.

belli2

Belli all day moisture body lotion is a great lotion that is full of great minerals for the skin.  It includes things like lemon oil, chamomile, and vitamin E.  It’s great for dry skin especially in the winter months when my skin tends to be dryer.  I always keep a bottle on hand or in my purse.

Belli pure and pampered body wash is great, full of great minerals that leave the skin healthy and moisturized.  Contains things like lavender oil, chamomile, and cucumber.  Provides a balanced cleansing for the entire body.  Smells great as well.  I love the way it moisturizes the skin.
