This holiday season give yourself and your baby the gift of all natural products! Lavanila Laboratories is known for their collection of 100% healthy, all-natural products that are elegant, refined and luxurious in both formulation and design. The Healthy Baby Collection was created according to the most exacting clinical and natural standards, Lavanila’s 100% Natural Baby products are not only chemical-free, but the first to deliver 30 essential vitamins and minerals specifically formulated to support the health and development of delicate baby skin, the gateway to infection.

LaVanila The Healthy Baby Bundle

THE HEALTHY BABY COLLECTION INCLUDES:

Healthy Baby Wash ($16): This 100% natural two-in-one shampoo and body wash gently cleanses without stripping skin of essential moisture. The pH-balanced, tear-free formula soothes and calms skin with organic vanilla and chamomile as noni leaf and calendula promote healthy skin and protect against infection.

Healthy Baby Lotion ($15): Providing daily nourishment and hydration, this weightless, fast-absorbing lotion strengthens and supports the development of healthy skin with 30 vitamins and minerals.

Healthy Baby Bottom ($15): Developed to calm irritation and soothe redness, this 100% natural formula provides superior protection and prevention of diaper rash with natural zinc oxide instead of petrolatum, a harsh chemical derived from oil wells during gasoline production.

Healthy Baby Butter ($14): Providing ultra-rich hydration to soothe dry skin and calm redness, this 100% natural nourishing butter is formulated with 30 vitamins and minerals selected to strengthen and support the development of healthy skin.

Healthy Baby Block ($20): Combining titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, this chemical-free, healthy sunscreen protects delicate skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays to provide 100% natural SPF 40 protection. While standard sunblocks contain harsh chemicals, the Healthy Baby Block forms a physical barrier to safely protect babies’ delicate skin.

WHERE TO FIND IT: Sephora, Sephora.com, and Lavanila.com

Hourglass Best of Hourglass Set

Do you or someone you know love Hourglass? Luckily for YOU this holiday season, Hourglass has released a “Best Of” gift set! You get the BEST of their products – in ONE GIFT SET – for only $59!

The Best of Hourglass set is a sophisticated four-piece collection of bestselling products that will make your skin look flawless, lashes dramatic, and lips gleam with hydrated shine.

This best-of set features two primers that are designed for all skin types. Veil Mineral Primer SPF 15 neutralizes redness (even rosacea) to create an even skintone; helps minimize the appearance of all visible pores, fine lines, and imperfections; extends the durability of all makeup applied on top of it; and repels water. No. 28 Primer Serum is infused with 28 ultrahydrating ingredients to nourish your skin. This silky, lightweight oil blend glides on and quickly absorbs to hydrate the skin, refine the appearance of visible pores, and prepare your skin for makeup application. Fourteen essential oils soften the complexion: bois de rose, lavender, geranium, petit grain, lemon, rosemary, vanilla, clove, amyris, orange, ylang ylang, eucalyptus, cedar, and rose geranium. Ten lipid-rich plant oils help hydrate the skin’s underlying layers: hazelnut, kukui nut, rose hip, borage, olive, green tea, cherry pit, sweet almond, jojoba, and evening primrose. And four skin-rejuvenating vitamins condition the complexion: A, B5, C and E.

With the included Film Noire Full Spectrum Mascara, luxurious lashes are merely a swipe away. This multitasking mascara lengthens, lifts, adds volume and clump-free definition, and conditions. The triple-cut signature hourglass shaped brush enables you to achieve full, defined, reflective, jet-black lashes. Complete your look with a full-size Extreme Sheen High Shine Lip Gloss. Richly pigmented, never sticky or tacky, this water-resistant gloss fills in fine lines on the lips making them appear soft and smooth and delivers opulent shine.

This set contains:
- 0.33 oz Veil Mineral Primer
- 0.35 oz Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara in Onyx
- 0.24 oz Extreme Sheen High Shine Lip Gloss in Ignite
- 0.16 oz N° 28 Primer Serum

Wrap it up – call it a day! You won’t be sorry!

This gift would make ME very happy – how about the women in your life?

Give the Gift of Lift!
I have been a long time fan of Mama Mio, their high quality products always deliver on promises. My favorite has to be the super duo of Skin Tight and Boob Tube. After 3 kids and losing a considerable amount of weight over the last year my boobs looked like sad half full balloons. Not a pretty sight ladies. Well I started using Skin Tight and Boob Tube every morning and evening like clockwork. You only need a bit of product to get good coverage.

Well 3 weeks in my girls are looking full and back up where they are supposed to be. Gone is the crepey skin, and sadness and welcome lifted ladies that are begging to go to Mardi Gras and show themselves off! I really love the redesigned dispenser top it makes it easier to get just the right amount of product with no waste or mess.

So if you are needing a little lift or have a friend who could use a bust boost give the gift of great boobs with Mama Mio Boob Tube!

For dive in cleavage with a smooth, firm neck

Aim North, not South! What women really love about Boob Tube is that the quality of their skin changes so quickly. Within a week, you will notice that the skin on your neck, your chest and your boobs looks firmer, fitter, glowing, more dewy and youthful. Daily use will maintain this beautiful skin and over the years you will be so pleased you took the time to befriend your bust.

No crinkles or droop for you – no turtle necks or even turkey necks! You are so wise to daily dose with Boob Tube, feel free to thank us in 20 years.

Skin Tight Toning Serum
smoothes, tightens saggy, crepey, loose skin

Mama Mio Skin Tight Toning Serum smoothes and retexturises uneven crepy skin – think juicy grape not wrinkly raisin. It takes facial peel technology and applies it to the body. Its four stage action of exfoliation, skin tightening and massively nourishing moisturisation will combat crepey, slack, tired skin – anywhere you need it. Tummies, saggy knees, bumpy backs of arms – even saggy faces – will all benefit from a little lift, tighten and tone; the three sweetest words a girl can hear.

$56.

Oprah’s medical guru, Dr Oz, says ‘Skin Tight – the solution for saggy thighs and saddlebags’

Actually, I’m kind of cheating. I’m picking two different gift sets for my #9 spot. So sue me. They kind of go together – like peanut butter and jelly! Or maybe primer and eye shadow?? Okay, I’m not funny.

Anyway – I love these two kits – not only because I love the products, but because I love the packaging! I know it’s wrong to judge a book by a cover, but I would be lying if I said I didn’t like good packaging on makeup. C’mon, you agree with me.
