Sephora Christmas Gifts
This week I did some of my holiday shopping at Sephora and I thought I’d share what I ended up getting.
Body Butter Trio Set $22USD
Philosophy The Winter Escape $25USD
Mini Super Shimmer Gift Set $20USD
I hope they like them. It’s all going to the same family so I figured they could split them up and pick out their favorite colors or flavors.
Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?

Crabtree & Evelyn Naturals Rejuvenating Creamy Body Wash
A few weeks ago my boss gave me and my co-worker body wash from Crabtree and Evelyn. I got the Mango and Grapefruit flavor.
I love body washes that smell great. It just gives me a boost in the morning to help wake me up. This one is definitely up there with my favorite smelling body washes. It’ so fruity and fresh – I’m going to be sad when this is finished. It leaves my skin feeling soft and moisturized, thanks to the 20% mango oil.
If you’re looking for something that will leave your skin feeling great while smelling delicious in the shower check out Crabtree & Evelyn’s Naturals Rejuvenating Creamy Body Wash.
Also this Friday Crabtree & Evelyn will be having a 20% off sale for Black Friday – the perfect opportunity to get some Christmas shopping done.
Disclosure: I received this product as a gift.

Sephora Holiday 2009 Catalog
Woohoo! This week I got Sehphora’s Holiday catalog in the mail. There’s so much stuff that I want. There’s also some great gift sets perfect for giving. Here’s a few of my faves.
Stila has put together another Lip Glaze gift set. It includes eight colors – four best sellers and four brand new colors. They all look like pretty colors. This one is on my Christmas list.
Philosophy has a great gift set too. It’s called The Bake Shoppe and includes a Pink Frosted shower gel, Raspberry Mousse shower gel (the shower gels also double as shampoo and bubble bath), Raspberry Mousse lip shine, and a Sweet Creamy Frosting body lotion. Mmmm, I can almost smell it now. I don’t think you could go wrong with this gift set.
So now that you know what’s on my Christmas shopping list what’s on yours? Anything that you have to have from the Sephora Holiday catalog?

Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Creme
Winter is definitely creeping in. That means socks, slippers, shoes, and even boots. Ugh. I have to admit I would go barefoot 24/7 if I could. I just don’t like having things on my feet. I don’t know what it is, but it just doesn’t feel right.
I’ve recently been using Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Creme. I’m really liking it too. It’s thicker than your typical creme, which makes it great for applying on your feet – it stays where you put it instead of dripping or sliding around. Because of it’s thickness it also feels like it really soaks into my skin, right where I need it.
Now the instructions recommend applying it at night and then putting cotton socks on. I agree that putting it on right before bed is a great idea, but I didn’t put socks on, though my feet definitely still felt moisturized. So I would say that the sock part is optional.
I’m really not a big fan of coconut. I don’t like the taste or the smell, but once I put this on my feet and washed my hands I didn’t smell it at all. It’s a good thing feet are a long way away from noses.
If your feet are feeling the effects of winter give Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Creme a try. It’ll leave your feet feeling moisturized.

Allure November 2009
How could I resist the November issue of Allure with covergirl Kristen Stewart? New Moon being released in just a few weeks, the interview with Kristen is a great read. One of my favorites is a look at how to do a great blowout yourself. And last but not least Allure picks their top fourteen picks for the winter – clothes, accessories, and makeup.
