Makeup Travel Bag: My Face Case

Have you heard of the My Face Case cosmetic travel bag? My Face Case is a woman run business and they create really cute storage bags for cosmetics and beauty items. Sonja and her niece Bonnie work together to create portable makeup storage solutions for beauty lovers. Each bag is handmade, and with 10 different colors and patterns to choose from, it's not too hard to find a bag that's look works with your own personal style. Each bag has a drawstring closure, so it's easy to open, but also can close and keep your makeup organized even when traveling. There are also pockets inside the lining for you to add products to. You can also use it to bring along books, lotions and perfumes, and other makeup bag essentials.

I recently got the funk bright pink/black zebra print My Face Case Bonnie bag and it's so cute! The material is sewn together really nicely, and the bag is strong and secure. The drawstring is easy to pull, and you can tie the ends to ensure your bag stays closed tightly. The canvas material is soft but sturdy and the little pockets inside are really great at holding things like lipstick, moisturizer, and foundation! I even use it for my makeup brushes!

This bag is really cute! I also like that I can just fill it with makeup, close the bag, and toss it into my suitcase or travel bag. I also like the bright pattern because it's fits my personality and love of vibrant colors. This would make an awesome holiday gift for any makeup lovers or makeup artists on your holiday list! Each bag is only $29.99 at MyFaceCaseStore.com

Mama Mio Gift Ideas

 

Mama Mio offers some great picks for moms and moms-to-be for the holidays. Ladies deserve to splurge on their skincare, and Mama Mio offers affordable ways to ensure your skin stays healthy and revived. They offer skin tightening serums, stretch mark relief creams, firming creams and more. They've also been in countless magazines, and the likes of celebs like Jessica Alba are huge fans of the brand as well. I recently tried their Nexercise program that helps improve the elasticity in the skin, chin, and neck. I also tried their Mama Mio Skin Tight serum that helps to smooth and tighten the skin on your belly, arms, legs, and anywhere else you need some smoothing and tightening action. They even have a product called Boob Tube that helps to firm your breasts! They also offer a cream called Mama Mio Goodbye Stretch Marks that can be rubbed into your stretch marks to help minimize the appearance of stretch marks on your stomach, breasts, and legs. All of these products are great even for women who have yet to have children, it's never too early to start a skincare regimen! 

MamaMio.com offers free shipping and they offer a variety of body products that range mostly from $30-80! So far I really like their products and even my mom is now using their products! You can also feel good about using their products because they're free of harmful parabens, synthetics, and gross skin damaging chemicals. These skincare products would make awesome gifts for female friends and family this season.

Anastasia Kisses on My List Lip Gloss Set

This cute lip gloss set features sheer lip colors that flatter just about any skin tone. The Anastasia Kisses on My List kit comes with Anastasia' Hydrafull lip gloss in a variety of six colors: Barely (nude beige), Nectar (pale pink shimmer), Lychee (sheer pink with gold shimmer), Pink Sugar (bright petal pink), Guava (pink nude with opalescent shimmer), Cameo (pearl with silver shimmer). All of the colors go on very sheer, so it's not a lot of bright pigmented shades, so even those who don't wear makeup often could find a use for these glosses. The formula is smooth and glides on nicely, and the applicator is one that I've never seen before...it's not a brush, it's not a doe foot applicator, but a flexible flat plastic tip! Some may not like this, others might find it interesting, but it's definitely a different experience when applying with the flat plastic tip than with doe foot or brush applicators. The set is available for $30 at the Anastasia online shop or Sephora.

Best of all it's free of synthetic fragrances, icky chemicals, or drying sulfates. A pretty gift you can feel good about sharing this holiday season! ($40 at Sephora.com)

LUSH Christmas Delights Gift

I like the cute and delicious smelling LUSH wrapped gifts that they come out with every Christmas season. Some of their gifts are wrapped in gift wrap and others come in a sweet little holiday tin.

These items smell wonderful, sweet, and remind me of the holidays. The gift tin holds the items nicely, and each item is individually wrapped in plastic. This would make an awesome gift for any LUSH fan, and it's an awesome way to sample various LUSH products all in one little gift tin!
