I usually decide what to buy my friends by picking something I want myself and then I know they will like it. This year I have a new problem I want to give some friends a Lush gift set but I can’t seem to part with them, I love them so much I don’t think I can bear to give them away.

With the cold winter air nothing feels better than a warm bath or shower and Lush has everything you need to treat your skin right and leave the bathroom and you smelling delicious. Lush makes the holidays even easier by picking perfect pairings and gift wrapping them the only thing you have to do it peel you fingers of the goodies and hand them to a friend! These Lush gift sets make a great gift of pampering for anyone in your life, here are a few of my favorite gift sets.

So perfect for a girlfriend on top of being all natural products that are great for her they smell delicious and who doesn’t love all the cute pink! Snow Fairy shower is one of my favorite shower gel scents,  sweet as cotton candy it will leave the your whole bathroom smelling amazing.

Snow Fairy Gift Wrapped

If we could have three wishes, this would be all of them. This gift brings together three of our sparkliest, girliest, sweeties: Snow Fairy Shower Gel (truly magical, we wait for it all year-round), Angels Delight soap (smells of jelly beans and is inspired by a colourful kaleidoscope) and Shimmy Shimmy glitterbar (smells of soft vanilla and covers you in glitter). Pick this up for any girly-girls you know and they’ll jump up and down and clap their hands with delight.

Love it! On top of being super affordable it contains some of my favorite Lush items. The Cinder Bath Bomb  is one of my all time favorites it leaves my skin smelling so delicious and super soft. I am a huge fan of anything minty and Ice Blue Soap is perfect it leaves you clean as a whistle and feeling refreshed. Mr. Butterball is one of my new favorites the warm vanilla musk is relaxing and super moisturizing.

To Be Jolly Wrapped

A selection of bathing delights to help you through the cold, dark, winter season and keep you jolly all the way through. Mr. Butterball is the snowman version of our perpetually popular Butterball that keeps winter skin smooth. Ice Blue soap invigorates and awakens on cold winter mornings and Cinders Bath Bomb (a new invention this year) warms up cold bodies and rejuvenates tired minds. For some extra fun, cut up the gift wrap and dress up the snowman!

The ultimate gift, I saved the Clarisonic for last! I have heard so many great stories about the Clarisonic from other beauty bloggers it had become my number one obsession. Two weeks ago I finally got my first Clarisonic skin brush and it lives up to all the hype!

It comes with a brush for sensitive skin which works perfectly for me. Most users said in 8 weeks they found major improvement in their skin but after just two weeks I am already seeing benefits. First off I love how clean my face feels after I use it. I thought it might be irritating to my sensitive skin but it just left my face feeling so refreshed and really clean. Within the first week I noticed an impovement in my skins clarity and my skin tone has evened out a lot. Best of all I am seeing a reduction in the appearance of my pores.

I now look forward to washing my face the brush feels so amazing while it spins and cleans and my skin is glowing with the results.

I saved my favorite product for last!  CoverGirl’s Lash Blast is BY FAR my favorite product of 2008.  I will never spend over $10 on mascara again.  I wouldn’t have bought this product, because I’m a total mascara snob – but Rena with CoverGirl sent it to me, and told me I had to try it.  I tried it, and seriously, I’ll never use another mascara.  It is just as good (if not better) than any $30 mascara you’d buy at Sephora.  Before Lash Blast, I always used Diorshow – and would never try anything else.  I thank Rena with CoverGirl for introducing me to a cheaper, superior mascara.  You guys all should try it – you won’t be sorry!

Merry Christmas everyone!  That’s my 10 products of 2008.  Hope you liked our countdown…and thanks for all the support you guys give us everyday!

CoverGirl’s Lash Blast mascara is topping a lot of makeup must have lists. Oprah herself just endorsed it as one of her Summer Must Haves. Have you tried this mascara, what was your opinion? I have used other CoverGirl mascaras and loved them I can’t wait to try lash Blast.

CoverGirl Lash Blast

The biggest brush ever from CoverGirl, for a blast of lush, volumized lashes!

Lash Blast’s volume-boosting formula and patent-pending brush are designed to max out each and every lash leaving you with the ultimate big lash look.
