I love these limited-edition moisturizing body cleansers and creams by Joico. What’s a better stocking-stuffer than the gift of a comfort-food scented shower?
Joico’s Skin Luxe body cremes and cleansers are also inexpensive. They retail for only $11.95. Joico products are available in salons, and can be found at stores like drugstore.com.
In the movie "The Matrix", Morpheus introduced Neo to the rag-tag crew of the Nebuchadnezzar, including a dorky sex-crazed cyber-punk teenager named Cypher who claimed that after a while of staring at streaming Matrix binary code, all he saw was "Blonde, Brunette and Redhead". Funny, but that is how I feel about cosmetics. Sometimes, when I’m looking at product, I immediately think "Oh, this would look AMAZING on a redhead, just not on me." Perhaps the most delightful surprise of each of these Face Palettes by Bella Il Fiore is that, while my first assumption was that they each would favor a certain complexion and hair color, it turns out they are universally flattering colors for anyone to wear!
The Pretty In Paris collection contains four shades of lush pink eyeshadow (including a deep, dark shade of pink ideal for crease-application), a pink blush, two shades of pink gloss (one pale and one dark) and one clear gloss. The colors in this palette resemble the lush roses in a bridal bouquet. My first instinct was that these shades would look great only on a blonde. But even with my new dark ‘do, I still find myself dipping into this palette. The pink shades add a cheerfulness and brightness that I love, especially as winter approaches.
Radiant In Rio is a collection of four shades of aubergine shadow that are THE color for Fall. The dusky mauve shade of blush perfectly compliments the shadows. The three gloss shades include a deep berry, a brown and a lilac-infused pink. I originally assumed this palette would best compliment a brunette, but I’ve seen many blondes sporting these purple shadows quite expertly!
Smashing in Soho is a palette of earth-toned shadows, and an apricot shade of blush. To diversify the look this palette can impart, use the juicy deep pink, bronze or peach glosses included. Immediately, a redhead sprung to mind when I first spied this gorgeous palette. But–I must admit–Smashing in Soho is simply a staple. If you must select only one of these fantasic palettes (though I would equally recommend all three), this would be it!
Each palette by Bella Il Fiore Couture Cosmetics contains a double-ended eyeshadow applicator and double-ended lip brush. A mirror inside of each case makes it complete! Each palette retails for $22 at Bella Beauty’s online store. If you haven’t yet, definitely check out their selection!
Wow… do the people at Eyes Lips Face ever sleep? Hot on the heels of their nail polish launch they announced their new bath and body products, and now they’ve launched a mineral makeup line and adorable glosses stored in tins for the holidays!
elf mineral foundations, blushes and concealers are all available in 4 different shades, and retail for $5. A bronzer set is available in two shades, and comes complete with a kabuki brush and a makeup case for $15. A starter hit containing a foundation, concealer, blush, two makeup brushes and a case retails for only $20! Amazing…
The Candy Shop Lip Tins are adorably retro, and available in 7 different shades. Retailing for only $2 each, they easily qualify for stocking stuffer status!
I can’t WAIT to try these products out!

Metallics are still very much the rage, and Jelly Pong Pong Venus Magical Pearls are such an easy way to look sparkling and sexy this Fall and Winter.
Jelly Pong Pong’s Venus pearls in the shade Goddess Skin are tiny bronze spheres of powder encased in a shell-like white jar. Designed to be applied with your fingertips, you should dip fingers in and brush over your cheeks, then use fingers to crush the spheres (to get a deser coverage for the eyes). I love the creative application process, but it’s the shimmering powder that is the true star! This warm-bronze shade is all you need to dress your eyes and cheeks for a night out. It even appears to have a bit of a red shimmer.
Jelly Pong Pong’s Venus Pearls in Goddess Skin retail for £15 or $20 at Jelly Pong Pong, and can also be found at fine beauty retailers.
Jelly Pong Pong Chic Shine is a tiny mirrored palette with two shades of cream makeup, excellent for tinting cheeks and lips on the run. I sampled this product in "I’m In Love", which includes a yummy shimmering red gloss and one satiny bronze cream. I loved the raspberry-jam stained look the gel gloss gives the lips, and the bronze shade adds just a touch of tan to otherwise pale cheeks.
This palette is roughly the size of two stamps side-by-side. So petite, it can be tucked undetected into your jeans pocket for quick tailgate-touchups this Fall.
Jelly Pong Pong Chic Shine comes in three different color combinations, so pick your poison! This product retails for £12 on the Jelly Pong Pong website, or $19 at Cherry Culture. Be sure to hunt for this adorable palette at a retailer near you.
