We’re loving this lip gloss gift set. It comes complete with 4 natural glosses.

Super Shiny Lip Gloss in Zesty Red (and Seinfeld in the background)

Super Shiny Lip Gloss in Nectar Nude

Super Shiny Lip Gloss in Pucker Berry (and George!)

The set is only $9.99–for all 4! My fave is the zesty red. It gives a lot of color but in a subtle way. Yummo!

a) we love that they’re 95% natural (also we checked them on the cosmetic database and they have low level of toxicity–wahoo!) b) they’re available anywhere so you can pick them up for fabu stocking stuffers!

We’re also loving Burt’s Bees Fabulously Fresh Tingling Treats!

The set includes Beeswax lip balm, Peppermint and Rosemary Body Bar, Peppermint and Rosemary Body Wash and Foot Lotion. I’m obsessed with the scent. It’s seriously perfect for the holiday season. It’ll make your shower smell like candy canes. It lives up to its name, it makes the inside of your nose tingle when you first inhale. The Peppermint scent really invigorates your senses.

We love you Burt’s Bees!! Give the peeps you love something that’s natural and healthy this holiday season.

*I was sent these samples to try out for this review*

Has anyone else noticed that Victoria’s Secret is getting kind of awesome??

The store that I once shopped for cotton panties and somewhat overpriced lingerie has really revamped itself, making me feel like I’m really getting my money’s worth…especially in the beauty department. It’s filled with tons of fun gift ideas for the holiday season but also cute goodies for Bachelorette parties!

The Good Girl store has gotten a bit risqué especially with its new line Two For Tease and we’re kinda digging the new fun vibe of the store.

Two For Tease products will make super fun gifts for girlfriends this holiday or for Bachelorette parties…or if you really want to embarrass some co-workers at your holiday gift exchange. I was at the Lake Success store this past weekend stocking up on bras when I first saw the collection on display.

The packaging is so f-ing cute. There is even like a little wax seal on some of the products…such a sexy little nostalgic touch. Added bonus? It’ll be nice to skip over the smutty corner stores in the village for Bachelorette gifts and give something a bit classier.

I hear the collection launched today but it may not be available in all stores just yet but definitely ch-ch-check it out!
