2016 HOLIDAY Beauty Gift no.3 | Charlotte Tilbury Dreamy Look In A Clutch

I just love the Beauty Holiday Gift Sets, because you or the person you gift it to, get to try different products from the brand. For the prices of these gift sets, you save money than getting the products individually, just like this set from Charlotte Tilbury called
Dreamy Look In A Clutch

Fall Style with LEOTA

I hate wearing chunky sweaters. I get hot and sweaty within minutes in a chunky sweater.
My skin hates wool and cashmere clothes too. It's a very itchy fabric and too hot to wear especially when the stores have their heaters blasting, and when you go in and out of different stores down Broadway, I'm just not comfortable.
 I'll probably end up getting a cold, maybe a bad cough too at the end of the day.
I do get cold easily so to keep myself warm and comfortable, I layer my outfits!
 On this post, I'll show you how I styled two Summer dresses from
LEOTA 
for the Fall weather!

2016 HOLIDAY Beauty Gift no.2 | M.A.C Nutcracker Sweet Kit

For my second beauty gift idea, I thought this collection is perfect for my beauty lovers!

If you've been following my blog, I have never tried any products from M.A.C before because I don't know where to start and what products to try first!

When I saw M.A.C's Holiday Collection for 2016 which is the

 Nutcracker Sweet Collection 

I knew this is a great way to get into trying out their products!

The Body Shop Facial Masks

I always think if I apply twice as much makeup on my face, my face will also need twice the TLC when I remove the makeup... Does that makes sense?
Not to compare my face to a dirty laundry but another way to think of it is like the dirtier the laundry, don't you add more laundry detergent to the washer, right?
So when I get a chance at night to give my face an additional TLC, I apply a face mask while I wind down to watch The Great British Bake Off. And lately, I have been using these
At-Home Facial Masks from The Body Shop

2016 HOLIDAY Beauty Gift no.1 | L'Occitane Advent Calendar

YES I am talking about the Holidays here on the blog while the apples and pumpkins are still getting picked and the leaves are still falling.

It's actually not too early to be buying gifts now, most of them already go out of stock by November 1st! 

So I thought I'd start a series and share you my Holiday Beauty Gift finds starting of with the

L'Occitane Advent Calendar

ciaté x Olivia Palermo Smokey Suedes Palette

Now who doesn't love Olivia Palermo ?! She's beautiful, sophisticated, a trendsetter. Her fashion style is always on point, and I just want to raid her closet!

So when I saw her collaboration with Ciaté London, I had to check it out. 

And out of all the Ciaté London x Olivia Palermo palettes she made, 

I fell in-love with the shadows inside the

 Smokey Suedes Eye Palette

I couldn't pass this up when I saw it on Sephora.com. This is unfortunately not available anymore BUT no worries, ciaté has other beautiful eye palettes that you can buy! 

I do hope you keep reading because even though this palette is not available anymore, I will be sharing my thoughts on the texture and quality of these ciaté shadows.

Fashion Edition September GLOSSYBOX

I have not subscribed to any beauty boxes for years now. I used to be an Ipsy and Birchbox subscriber but I've decided I'd rather save up my $20 (each box was $10/month) and buy the makeup or skincare products I really want to try. 

BUT every time I see the monthly GLOSSYBOXes from Lauren's blog, Will Sing for Makeup, the FOMO feeling kicks in. Every month her GLOSSYBOX always have really great beauty products. Product brands that I am very interested to try. But every time too, I also talk myself out of it because I still have so many beauty products here that are still unopened. 

Recently GLOSSYBOX sent me their 

Fashion Edition September GLOSSYBOX

and just seeing the design of the box alone, made me more excited of what's inside!
