Jocelyn’s Christmas Must-Have Number 2!

I’m saving my favorites products for last. This thermo-reactive intense nutrition masque from Kerastase is out-of-this-world amazing. I’ve used this twice now, and I can literally feel the difference for almost a week. It’s pricey – but let me just say, you get A LOT for your money, and it doesn’t take a lot when you use it. I guess this would last you 6 months. LOOOOVE IT! $60.00

Erin’s Christmas Must-Have, Number 1!

Give the gift of the perfect bath!

A friend gave me this for Christmas last year and it was one of my favorite treats all winter. If you haven’t ever smelled Amazing Grace its pretty much the most perfect bath scent. It has a great clean smell and leaves your skin and bathroom smelling like heaven (In a house with 3 boys that is a feat in itself) .

I love how moisturized it leaves my skin and just a bit of product produces the most beautiful foamy bubbles. It makes a great gift for anyone on your list, and maybe one for yourself?


Amazing Grace Bath, Shampoo & Shower Gel

What it is:
A 3-in-1 gel infused with the beloved Amazing Grace fragrance.

What it does:
Philosophy expanded its Amazing Grace line to include this product that’s a bath, shampoo, and shower gel all-in-one. This gel is a lovely way to wear Grace, either by itself for a subtle scent or layered for longer wear.

What else you need to know:
Amazing Grace fragrance for women is a uniquely feminine blend of soft, floral blossoms accented by a hint of light musk.

$22-$30

Erin’s Christmas Must-Have, Number 2!

Give the gift of magic!

This has to be one of my all time favorite beauty products. If Iget stranded on a deserted  island I just need a few good books, a bottomless mimosa and my Eight Hour cream! It truly is magic it works on ANY minor skin issue, this has been a invalubale tool as a mom. I use it for chapped lips, wind burned cheeks, little scrapes and cuts, diaper rash for every style I have (pot, tube, lip protectant)  I have a million uses.

I love the way it smells and how quickly it goes to work. This is one of those products you dig to get every last bit. A truly great gift for anyone on your list!

EIGHT HOUR CREAM Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant -

100th Anniversary Vintage Limited Edition, 1 oz.
Celebrate 100 years of Elizabeth Arden beauty with the skincare classic that started it all.

The skincare classic that soothes, restores, calms and helps relieve chapped, cracked, dry skin. Soothes roughness, redness and minor skin irritations.

- Helps protect, soothe and moisturize skin.
- Soothes dry skin and provides anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Soothes and comforts minor weather burns, scrapes and abrasions.

The Legend
Created in 1930 by Elizabeth Arden to soothe skin, Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant became an instant and overwhelming success. What made it so effective is a combination of petrolatum, a skin-soothing beta-hydroxy in one of its first cosmetic uses, and vitamin E. The apricot colored balm was so beneficial to her clients, Miss Arden used it to soothe her famous thoroughbred horses’ legs. Even its name came about thanks to a remarkable performance – a loyal client used it to treat her child’s skinned knee and “eight hours later” the skin was all better.

To use: Simply smooth directly on with fingertips whenever and wherever needed. Avoid contact with eyes.

Price:$25.00

Jocelyn’s Christmas Must-Have Number 3!

I was recently sent Aquage SeaExtend Silkening Oil Treatment to try, and I’m an immediate fan.

I have frizzy hair, so finding the perfect product has always been tricky. Most anti-frizz products leave my hair feeling oily or weighed down. I’m sure you’ve found the same thing! Finding the perfect product that actually IS non-greasy is near impossible.

Well, I can now say that you have to look no further. This is some magical product that gives me perfectly healthy, shiny hair, without the frizz!

The secret to it’s featherweight texture is argan oil, which speeds up drying time by 40 percent, and helps water evaporate faster!

What it is

  • A wet styling treatment with sea botanicals, ultra-light argan oil and sweet almond oil to smooth, silken and add brilliant shine
  • Infused with a unique blend of sea kale, sea fennel and sea beet extract to restore moisture, protect hair and soothe the scalp

Why you should use it

  • To smooth, silken and add brilliant shine
  • Accelerates drying time, seals in haircolor results and protects against thermal damage
  • Crystal-clear formula, unlike other styling products, contains no artificial dyes that can alter haircolor tones
  • Treatment improves the condition of the hair with continued use

When to use it

  • Apply to shampooed, towel-dried hair. Comb through for even product distribution

Wow much to use

  • Use enough product to achieve an even amount of silkiness and smoothness from roots to ends
  • Begin with one or two pumps depending on hair length and density and add more as needed.
