happy holidays: 7 fall/winter gifts for yourself
By: Brigiite Valadez
The holiday season is in full swing and you might be in the middle of buying gifts for everyone else so while you’re at it, treat YOURSELF too!
1. Miss your summer glow? Grab some Jergens Natural Glow products to maintain your most natural-looking glow. The Instant Sun Sunless Tanning Mousse dries in 60 seconds, is noticeable right away and deepens as the day goes on. My favorite thing about the Instant Sun Drops is that you can mix them with your moisturizer and increase the number of drops depending on how tanned you want to look!
2. Need a last minute set for your holiday party? KISS Nails has one to match every fit! Look expensive with the Prabal Gurung Collection or stick to a classic look with the Bare but Better line. My personal fav from that line is the Nude Drama in long and everything in their Halloween collection has a special place in my heart too! Bonus: they stay put for about a week or more!
3. Wish your luggage didn’t weigh so much? TBH I do! Pack less in your makeup bag with Alleyoop’s Pen Pal– a 4-in-1 eye, brow, lip and highlight makeup pen. It’s designed like the writing pens that you click down to reveal colors. I’ve been obsessed with it since one was gifted to me and you’ll love the convenience of it too!
4. Want a one and done face and body treatment? Solawave’s 2-in-1 Skincare Mini combines Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapies with Therapeutic Warmth to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve firmness and depuff all at the same time. Stash it in your purse, gym bag or baby bag and use it on the go!
5. Not traveling this holiday season? Make your home smell like a vacation with ILLUME’s Artist Founded candle collection! In honor of their 30th anniversary, the brand has released founder Lynette Reed’s original fragrances– Fig & Gardenia (Gardenia) and Mango Spice (Coconut Milk Mango), inspired by a trip to Bali. Her beautiful abstract paintings decorate the glass jars!
6. Still missing something to stuff into your own stocking? Good Chemistry’s Experimentation Set is all of their best-selling fragrances packaged in little vials so you can try all five of them! With names like Queen Bee, Pink Palm, Coco Blush, Coffee Cloud and Unknown Legend, these minis sell themselves!
7. Hate how dry your hands get during the colder months? Yeah, same! Silver Biotics’ Healing Skin Cream has transformed the texture of my skin with its blend of SilverSol®, hyaluronic acid, coconut oil and vitamin E. Plus, it’s non-greasy so it won’t leave a fingerprint on your cell phone screen!
