Whether your stingy, able to share or your thinking gifting - you can never go wrong with a Beauty Bundle. Beauty Bundles is a term that means beauty gift sets (or at least to me). If I love a brand I like having more than just one of something and even if a few shades may not work for me, then you can place them in a gift for someone else. You're not only passing on the gift of beauty and good taste but it's just good Girlonomics! Whether this means that it goes in as a stocking stuffer or becomes a thank you when you're staying with one of your girfriends half way across the country (I'm know as the person who when packing, I pack up a lot of product that I'm sent to my friend who I'm staying with during a trip).
Today's goodies are brands that I could not go without! You know that I'm super passionate about Purple Lab's Huge Lips, Skinny Hips gloss as my lips stay super moisturized and the smell is so yummie - you feel like a glamazon just applying it!. I became obsessed this time last year with the 24/7 Eyeliner from Urban Decay. My eyes are ALWAYS lined with their Kohl color. If I happen to go to a Sephora and they have run out of that color, I will stalk every Sephora in the city to get it! Nars Cosmetics is another passion that I have for almost 2 years! I love their body polish which keeps me glowing, their eyeshadows, gloss and more but I also love their nail colors as well. Any shade that has a pop of vixen in it, I'm all over it. Finally, when it comes to Sephora, I could spend all my hours in there with so many brands to play with. In addition, I love their private line as well. Many times when I'm unsure of a color I start with their brand as they have so many colors!
Whatever your reason, buying a few things here and there and having multiples is an awesome way to build your beauty cases or massive trunks - whichever way you organize it! Start thinking about gifting yourself and others this holiday season!
I love award season and when you can get in on the first award, that's even better! The Golden Compact Awards started this year and now through Feb 28th (winners will be announced in March), you can vote for which brands should get this amazing award! My favorite best beauty blogs (All Lacquered Up, The Beauty Blogging JunkieThe Beauty of Life, The Daily Cookie and the The Daily Obsession)have come together to present an amazing selection of products, many that have been covered on Kitten Lounge (Urban Decay, Yes to Carrots, Too Faced, Tassi etc)! If you don't have these itenms you need to go to Sephora and stock up! In addition, you may win great goodies for all of your effort to see who gets these amazing awards!
Oh yes, I am all about Big Fatty Mascara by Urban Decay! Not only are they the sponsors of the Kitten Lounge Valentine's Gift Guide which kicks off officially this Sunday but it makes your lashes thick and lovely! I have been using this off and on but tonight during a team dinner, I definitely wanted to be ultra glam! Even in the resort town of Orlando, you can still bring a bit of spicy to your overall look (this was also a great look when we went to Blue Martini). This is a must for your cometic bag. Of course you must pair this with their 24/7 Eyeliner in a color of your choice. Check out the site and decide what you'll add to your collection of Glamazon products!
This holiday season you have to think smart. I don't think there is anyone that can believe that it's the holiday season or the end of the year! Whether you're time crunched, funds light or anything else, you have to think about looking great and/or how you will gift for others. On my list I have people that I've known for ages, family, colleauges, etc. But then I know that you hit those situations where a gift is needed but I may not be as familiar as I would prefer. I really don't care for giving gift certificates as I feel it's a quick way out of a purchase that should take some thought (not to say that I haven't used it). I like the gift set because it gives variety. The person may not like everyting that's in there but they stand a chance of like something and they can always give portions of it away! It's a gift that keeps on giving. All of these sets are under $30 and are perfect for stocking stuffers, Secret Santas and more! As you know if you have been reading the Holiday Gift Guide, I am obsessed with Velvet Rope by Urban Decay. I will never wear another brand of eyeliner without a doubt! I think that Dylan's Candy definitely did the fab jump from candy to embracing a beauty line! Gloss is always a nice option and this Lancome line spices it up with the fishnet theme and when it comes to my eyes, I love multiple shades of eyeshadow! Not only can you give love to others but this doesn't stop you from snagging some great finds. Check out what Sephora has to offer whether you do so at your local shop or online!
We love hearing from you! Suggestions, ideas and thoughts are always welcome.
