Holiday Beauty Favorites at Sephora


Happy Holidays! If you are shopping at Sephora this holiday season, you are going to want to splurge on some of these gifts for yourself, especially to kick off the new year! 

My favorite lipstick brand is Bite Beauty, which is exclusive to Sephora. I'm in love with their new Amuse Bouche Lipstick in Mistletoe, $26, a limited-edition holiday shade of red. There's always room to add more shades to your lip wardrobe, like the Tarte Kiss Bliss Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint & Crayon Set, was $35 value, now $25 ($70 value). This 10-piece set has best-selling and limited-edtion nude, berry and bold shades.

If you are into bold, heavily pigmented shades, then you'll love the Kat Von D Mini Liquid Lipstick Set, $49 ($80 value), with 6 mattes and 2 exclusives - Plath, a deep russet red and Roxy, a bright grape. Don't forget to add the Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette, $46, including 3 shades for contouring and 3 shades for highlighting. 

My beauty indulgence are new eyeshadow palettes, including these two: Marc Jacobs Stye Eye-Con No. 20 ($99) and Marc Jacobs Object of Desire Face and Eye Palette, was $69, now $49 ($99 value). The 20 shades in the Style Eye-Con palette are so gorgeous, with shimmery metallics, buttery mattes and lustrous sheens to create the perfect smoky eye, daytime glam or casual daytime look.  The Objects of Desire exclusive palette incudes a blush, bronzer, limited-edition luminizer and 6 eye shadows. 

This feels like you are getting two palettes for one price, with The Estée Edit Gritty and Glow Magnetic Eye and Face Palettes, $58. Each palette has 6 pearlized shades. The Gritty palette is great for intense smoky eye looks and the Glow palette are highlighter shades for cheeks and eyes. 

For a fragrance gift, check out the Atelier Cologne Nécessaire Nomade III kit, $45, with 8 pure perfumes that come in a metal tin inspired by travel.

2016 Holiday Gifts at Aveda






































How excited was I when I received this holiday box from Aveda? I've been in love with Aveda products for as long as I can remember, especially the Rosemary Mint Shampoo and Conditioner. 

It's already a given that I would love the Rosemary Mint Body Polish ($34) and Rosemary Mint Composition Oil. The body polish, with naturally-derived walnut shells, has that signature invigorating Rosemary Mint scent and leaves my skin feeling super soft and refreshed. 

The Rosemary Mint Composition Oil can be used a multi-purpose oil for the bath, body or scalp, with a nourishing blend of certified organic sunflower oil. 

The Candrimā Creme Cleansing Oil and Candrimā Body Moisturizer are limited-edition products for the holidays, with a comforting aroma of ginger and ginger lily. The creme cleansing oil The body moisturizer is made with organic shea butter and nourishing certified organic sesame and coconut oils. 

This holiday box was so nicely put together and thoughtful - it would be easy to create your own holiday box to send to someone. Thank you Aveda!

Get Ready for the Holidays with B Collection By Bobeau, Hollie Watman and bobble


Get ready for the holidays and with the B by Bobeau Pop Up Shop in the Meatpacking District, at 410 West 14th Street. It's the perfect stopover for your last-minute gifts or picking up new activewear to get ready for the new year! 

I first checked out the pop up shop on December 10th, during a complimentary yoga class to help us get fit and ready for the holidays. The yoga class was hosted by B Collection By Bobeau, Exhale Spa, Hollie Watman, bobble and Rebbl.

After the class I previewed Hollie Watman's athleisure wear collection, and put together an outfit. I immediately fell in love with Hollie Watman's orchid print mesh contour capris (if you love mesh detailing you'll love Hollie Watman, and the XS is a great fit!), which I paired with the B Collection By Bobeau Iris tank in black. bobble helped us stay hydrated for our yoga class, keeping our water cold and refreshing. I love the fashionable colors of the bobble Insulate bottles, especially the  Holiday Insulate designs. I also got to sample some of Rebbl's elixirs, with Maca Mocha as my favorite. 

This is the first ever B Collection By Bobeau retail store in NYC, and the first time I've ever tried their clothing on, which has a great fit and is super comfy! Hollie Watman's NY-based label was just launched in 2016, with a focus on swim and activewear pieces inspired by travel and art. 

The pop up will be around until mid-January, so if you can't make it there before the holidays be sure to make it there after!







It's always great running into Lara of Pretty Connected! She looks amazing in her Hollie Watman outfit. How cool is that mesh hoodie? You can wear it over your swimsuit or workout wear.
