Holidays are right around the corner, and if you haven’t started shopping for presents yet, you should at least get the list going. Since there are so many amazing products out this year, I ended up with a million Christmas gift ideas, so I decided to separate them in several articles. Let’s start with your BFF! Whether she’s as makeup-obsessed as you are, an outdoorsy type, a free spirit, or a poolside diva, you can count on the beauty industry to deliver a gift she will love.
LAQA AND CO lippies have been among my personal favorites for several years now, and I even got my Mom, sister, and numerous friends hooked on them. The company recently released a collection of sheer to medium coverage Lip Lubes and Cheek and Lip Stain in assorted colors, and I seriously can’t recommend these enough, especially for someone who loves effortless makeup looks.
Cheeky Lip Pencils [I’m loving Mixed Tape and Humble Brag] are essentially lightweight multipurpose makeup crayons that deposit a serious punch of color that can be sheered out or built up for bolder or softer makeup looks. Trendy matte finish couldn’t be more perfect for Fall/Winter season.
Application tip: I am really loving these as blushes, they last all day without smudging!
Lip Lube is the next best thing after lip balm. Scratch that, it’s better, because it keeps the lips hydrated and plump while packing a serious punch of color! Golly Gee Whiz is a pretty universal shade that will look fab on anyone, but I recommend venturing out and trying something new, like Menatour or Grape Scotch.
All LAQA&Co packaging features artwork by young artists who each receive a cut of the profit from every unit purchased, so by buying these pretties today you might be supporting the next Picasso!

You know I’m all about sun safety, and I always say that sunless tan is the way to go. WayTooTan Dark Hybrid Tanning Silicone just might be the best self-tanner for anyone who wants to achieve bronzed Carribean glow without ever having to step outside.
Sometimes self-tanning lotions can be drying, but Dark Hybrid Tanning Silicone is loaded with hyaluronic acid that hydrates the skin and keeps it supple, making it the best sunless tanner I’ve come across. Further enhanced with potent botanical antioxidants like green tea and grape seed extract, this high-end product delivers the most luxurious experience you’ve ever felt when using a product like this.
Application tip: Make sure to exfoliate well before applying WayTooTan Dark Hybrid
Tanning Silicone for the smoothest results.
New and improved MakeUp Forever Ultra HD Foundation is one of the most exciting makeup releases of the year. In a true MUFE fashion, there are lots of colors to choose from so finding the perfect match won’t be a problem even for people with very unique complexions. For instance, my skin is very fair, with olive undertones that can sometimes lean pink. Shade Y215 Yellow Alabaster contains just the right amount of yellow tone and allows some of that pink to peek through for a more natural look.
Developed for the film and TV industry, this foundation feels truly lightweight despite providing buildable medium to full coverage. I’m particularly loving MakeUp Forever Ultra HD Foundation for cold weather, because it gives the skin luminous finish without making it overly matte.
Application tip: Apply skin primer first, more even, then spread two pumps of Ultra HD Liquid Foundation in thin layers, starting in the middle of the face and stretching outward using a flat foundation brush or a sponge. Dab on extra foundation in areas that need more coverage. Additionally, check out the video below!
A good fragrance is a classic gift, and I remember getting at least one bottle for Christmas every year from either my parents or relatives. I was never too picky the scent, and usually liked whatever was popular at the time. Now I pick my fragrances by mood and by base notes.
Style icon Jessica Simpson just released her new limited edition fragrance TEN to commemorate the tenth anniversary of her empire. Created in collaboration with senior perfumer Mary Pierre Julien of Givaudan, this flirty mix of fruity, and floral notes with hints of vanilla captures the essence of a modern Americana. The packaging featuring a single beautiful feather wrapped around the cap pays homage to Jessica’s free-spirited bohemian style.
HOLIDAY OFFER: Receive a complimentary signature tote bag with the purchase of Jessica Simpson TEN or any other large spray [priced from $59.00-$67.00] from the Jessica Simpson fragrance collection at macys.com
