The Love List: Products we love to give
During the holiday season, we’ll undoubtedly be doing some holiday giving. Here are some of our top choices of products to pass on to the prettiest ladies we know this holiday season.

 

Jan-Marini Skin Research, Inc. Marini Lash Conditioner
This power-packed product is small enough to fit into a stocking or mini gift bag, but is a big deal for lashes. This Lash Conditioner works to strengthen, lengthen and thicken even the thinnest of lashes. Over the course of just a few weeks, Marini Lash can turn dull and thinning lashes into a thick layer of lusciousness. The results are both considerable and noticeable, so we love giving this gift to all our girlfriends who would like to play up their eyes and lashes this holiday season. Packed with moisturizing ingredients and proprietary peptide to encourage growth, Marini Lash is one gift that just keeps on giving. Plus, use it on over plucked or sparse brows to have them come in faster and thicker. You can get Jan Marini Skin Research, Inc.’s Lash Conditioner at any authorized retailer. Find a retailer near you by calling (800) 347-2223 (price varies). 

 

Hot Pants Cosmetics Lip Lust Light-up Lip Gloss
Each woman knows there are certain things having to do with beauty that are worth their weight in gold. Among those things are: a stylist you can trust, a cleanser that won’t dry out skin and last, but not least, a lip gloss you won’t leave home without. For us, it’s Hot Pants Cosmetics’ Lip Lust Light-up Lip Gloss. Not only does this gloss come in 10 impeccable colors, the gloss plumps lips without any burning or stinging. And, no matter where you are, it’s possible to get a perfect pout with this gloss’s LED light, attached under the cap. This, combined with the side-panel mirror attached to the tube makes a perfect application a snap, anywhere you may be. And we’re not the only ones who will love it. Pass this one on to your friends this holiday season for only $19.99 each from hotpantscosmetics.com.

 

Soap & Glory Gift Sets from Target stores
Target is always a one-stop-shop for everyone on our lists. And, we can’t miss the perfectly packaged gift sets from Soap & Glory available at Target stores. Soap & Glory packs some of their most popular products together in the Scrub Triangle Mini Gift Set ($9.99 at target.com). This set offers all a chick could need to keep skin silky smooth for the holidays including: Body Wash, Body Polish and Body Butter. Soap & Glory also offer adorable cosmetic cases under 50s pop-art influence that are sure to please even your coolest girlfriends without breaking the bank.

 

Solavie Products
Solavie’s eco-friendly and just-right-for-everyone personal care products are another type of gift we love to give this season.  We kid you not that brand loyalty comes standard with your first try of any of the Solavie products in the line. These products often perform double duty (for example the shampoo doubles as a body wash). Plus, each unit of Solavie products touts a ying and yang shape so two bottles snap together easily. This is good news for the girl on the go, as is the reinforced recycled plastic each of the bottles is made of. We dare you to try and break them. 
But, even more important than size and shape, though, is the incredible results that each Solavie product delivers. Even your friend’s color-treated or textured hair will be baby soft after washing with Solavie shampoo, which is made with ancient volcanic water, a substance full of minerals and nutrients.  Choose from six “enviro-types” to suit your friends’ personal tastes (prices vary at solavie.com).

 

Eminence Organics Stone Crop Tube Gift Set
What is better than giving the gift of improved, moisturized and beautiful skin?  We love giving our nearest and dearest a bit of natural luxury with Eminence Organics’ Exclusive Stone Crop Tube. Including Stone Crop Gel Wash, Stone Crop Gel Hydrator, Stone Crop Masque, Stone Crop Whip Moisturizer and a Full-size Stone Crop Serum, this set is a home facial in a tube that any lady will love. And, if you aren’t familiar with Stone Crop, you won’t be able to get enough once you are. This natural product is the most moisturizing natural product known to man and can turn even the most dried, damaged skin into smooth, kissably soft skin. Eminence Organics products are sold through authorized distributors. Inquire about a retailer near you at (888) 747-6342.

 

Profound Beauty’s “Stylist” Collection
When naming Profound Beauty’s most loved collection, they couldn’t have been more right calling it the “Stylist.” We love giving the gift of a personal “Stylist” to our friends. These products will make it possible for them to get that just-left-the-salon look when they really just left their vanity mirrors. We especially love the super, volume-inducing Volume Power hairspray. This seemingly tame bottle packs its sweet-scented, super spray inside until it’s unleashed at 75 miles per hour with a simple press of a button. Not only does the formula encourage volume with its micro-fine styling particles, the extra boost of speed helps particles penetrate the root of the hair, accounting for dramatic volume and, of course, inciting hair-jealousy everywhere you go. Find the Stylist collection at a salon near you.

 

Save Your Skin Bar Soap with Organic Oils
Just when you thought you’d have to start giving things up to save the environment, along comes Save Your World products, asking you to pick some up instead. Save Your World offers products from outdoor gear to electronics and (good news for us) books to beauty products. With the purchase of any Save Your World product, your contribution goes toward saving the rainforest. So, the purchase of one Save Your World product equals one acre of rainforest saved for the year. And, trust us, once you try the Bar Soap with Organic Oils from the “Save Your Skin” collection, you’ll be saving a lot of rainforest!  We love giving these products as gifts to friends to spread the word about saving the rainforest while still treating friends to a unique gift. Try the seven-ounce “Regal Blossom” bar, which is made of all natural ingredients including Yerba Maté for exfoliation and offers a floral, fresh scent. Visit saveyourworld.com to purchase the Regal Blossom bar for $12.

 

Cholive Chocolates
The perfect companion to a Chocolate Martini or a suitable after-dinner treat, we love Cholive chocolates any time of day and especially love giving them as gifts.  Made up of 55% dark chocolate in its shell and filled with a smooth ganache, Cholives are small decadent treats that we just can’t get enough of. Not only are Cholives great to have on hand at home, they make great gifts. Shop online at thecholive.com
