E.L.F. HOLIDAY BEAUTY BOOK (9 PAN OF SHADOWS)

Hi all,

I was very surprised to walk into Loblaw's and see a whole section during the holidays with various E.L.F. gift sets. I wanted to buy many, but I did refrain and picked the one I felt would be most useful for everyday and not just going on a crazy shopping tangent.

So the item I picked up is the

E.L.F. BEAUTY BOOK

This set includes 9 natural eyeshdaows, 1  brightening eyeliner pencil in Coffee and 1 dual ended sponge tip eyeshadow applicator (which I never use)

I am very happy with the eyeshadows they are all extremely buttery which I was a little reluctant with E.L.F. not that I don't think cheaper shadows can be just as good, it just seemed to good to be true.

TAKE A LOOK AT THESE BEAUTIES

I will just name these for you since they don't have any

Top row L2R- Champagne, Smokey Peach and Beige (matte)

Middle L2R- Copper, Burgundy Bronze, True Bronze

Bottom L2R- Taupe (matte), Deep Chocolate, Green golden brown

line is the eyeliner in Coffee

All the colours are shimmer with the exception of two matte shades, which I noted above.

This is a great classic palette to have on hand and for $9 you can't go wrong. It is rare to see E.L.F. products such as eyeshadow here in Canada unless you order from somewhere online. Definitely give this two big thumbs up.

DID ANY OF YOU GRAB AN E.L.F. GIFT SET OR RECEIVE ONE OVER THE HOLIDAYS????

THANK-YOU FOR YOUR ON GOING SUPPORT LOVELIES

XOXO:)

HOLIDAY HAND SOAPS FROM DIAL

SANTA SOAP IS COMING TO TOWN

For all the parents out there, or many of those who have lots of friends and family, its coming down to the wire for Christmas shopping to be complete.

 

When you go to a mall during holiday shopping time your entering a smorgasbord of coughing, sneezing, nose blowing, hands that have used the bathroom and not washed after. People just spraying all their germs and bacteria all over every surface you may come in contact with. While your making that one final holiday gift purchase your hands could be reaching for the interact machine that just has been coughed or sneezed on and you will unknowingly go home and probably be sick in a few days.

 

In our home the minute you walk in and have taken off your shoes, you must go and wash your hands. Well with Christmas right around the corner why not throw some festive fun in the bathroom with Dial's limited edition holiday hand soap. Three very family friendly festive designs await you. These will have the little ones running to the bathroom for hand washing time because it's so much fun when Santa and his friends are watching.

I really will enjoy these sitting on my bathroom counter over the holidays. Again as mentioned with the Halloween hand soaps, I just wished that Dial would also make each bottle a festive scent as well like candy cane, hot chocolate and sugar cookies or something (Hey! Dial if you use this idea, we need to talk ;P)

All the soap in each bottle is the same. Each bottle contains 221ml of foaming hand soap and costs around $3.

YOU CAN CHECK OUT MORE FROM DIAL AT THE LINK BELOW
DIAL SOAP

These are also available in the U.S with a slight design variations

LET ME KNOW IF YOU LOVE THESE HOLIDAY DESIGNS AND WILL BE PICKING THEM UP?????

THANKS FOR READING EVERYONE AND HAVE A GREAT EVENING

XOXO
 

 

 

 

 

SNEAK PEEK AT OPI'S HOLIDAY GIFT SET FIT TO BE TIED

Hi again to those returning and welcome to those new to my blog,

***THIS ITEM WAS SENT TO ME BY PR FOR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION***
MY OPINIONS ARE STILL MY OWN BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT.
THESE SETS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AS OF YET

Today I want to share a gift set by OPI that will be a great gift for giving, as well as receiving.
OPI has launched some super sexy little gift sets just perfect for stockings;)

The sets are perfectly called "FIT TO BE TIED" which is a play on words as well. There are 3 hair bracelets included in the set which are pretty and nice enough to wear on your wrist (which I think is the point). The two nail polishes included are THE THRILL OF BRAZIL & BLACK CHERRY CHUTNEY. I for one am especially fond of the black cherry chutney because it's almost on the verge of black, but if you catch the light the right way the colour is a true sultry black cherry with a lot of shine.

I think the hair bracelets are such a nice little bonus to add to your arm candy.

Let's take a closer look at the polishes

The Thrill of Brazil

and the ever sexy BLACK CHERRY CHUTNEY

I really appreciate having received this set, it definitely felt like Christmas already:)

I have been a long time fan of OPI especially there newer polish the "Liquid Sands" are amazing. I do find because I am busy a lot my nail polish tends to wear off quite easily, but no less OPI is a quality polish, that I will love for years to come.

There are several different gift sets that are prepackaged and ready to go. This is the info from the press release

"Pack the Essentials contains five classic nail lacquers in rich hues of purple and red, champagne glitter and soft pink and neutral crèmes, plus Start-to-Finish, packaged in a quilted train case.  Fit to Be Tied features three duo gift sets, each containing two lacquers and three glitter hair tie bracelets. Sweet on My Beau features two soft shades – Alpine Snow and Sweet Heart – and includes a metallic cosmetic bag with bow decal.

Perfect as a stocking stuffer for any nail lacquer lover, Take Ten offers the gift of variety, with ten iconic bestselling mini nail lacquers. And with the three top coats in Top This!, you can create a multitude of looks to add the perfect finishing touch to your manicure. But like St. Nick, these sets won’t be around for long!"

I hope all you fans of polish out there find one of these beauties in your stocking this coming holiday season;)

Let me know in the comments what your favourite OPI nail polish colour is???

Thanks for reading lovelies

STAY BEAUTIFUL XO
