Beauty Gifts to Snag for Happy Moments Right Now including Tarte, Pixi, FRESH, Laura Mercier, & more on All Things Beautiful XO

Have you been trying to figure out what you want for the holidays or into the new year? I can’t be the only one looking to indulge a tad into something more self-care. People kept asking me what I wanted for Christmas but I’d been feeling…meh. Like- hey what do I want while I’m trapped at home safe & sound but also kind of paranoid & definitely anxious? So instead, I made a list of some of the things I’ve acquired recently that have made me genuinely happy. Some are old favorites wrapped into gift sets while others are new & make me smile. Keep reading to check them out!

Estee Lauder Holiday 2014 Gift Set Review + Video

Tis the season to buy gifts! Frankly many of them are for myself but we don’t need to go there, right? Estee Lauder is a brand I tend to play around in when I go to certain stores but like many other similar brands I try to wait for a great deal. When I know a brand will put out an awesome holiday set I try to hold out as long as possible for hope’s sake that something I’ve been eyeing will be included. Without further chatter- here’s what is in this month’s holiday set!

This box is pretty gigantic & so is the case which I don’t mind at all. The packaging looks like a gift- who doesn’t love gifts? I found mine at my local BX but & actually don’t see it listed online anywhere yet…more on that below. [Read more…]

Philosophy Loveswept eau de Toilette Spray Review

February 19, 2014 By StephanieLouise 168Leave a Commenthttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2014%2F02%2Fphilosophy-loveswept-eau-de-toilette.htmlPhilosophy+Loveswept+eau+de+Toilette+Spray+Review2014-02-19+13%3A57%3A00StephanieLouisehttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthingsbeautifulxo.com%2F2014%2F02%2Fphilosophy-loveswept-eau-de-toilette-spray-review.html

Husband bought it. Affiliate links.
So hubby did pretty great this Valentine’s Day (or rather I did!) & he picked up the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette (which I’ll review for you soon!) & this lovely fragrance from Philosophy. Philosophy Loveswept is a soft floral with a romantic musky base. Keep reading to see what I think!

I first picked up this fragrance for a sniff in my local BX (military base store) because it was out for a Valentine’s Day display. Obviously it fits perfectly from the name to the heart on the bottle right? I’m a limited edition Philosophy fragrance fan. The regular line doesn’t really fit me but those tend to suck me in & rip my wallet from my manicured claws. I have tend to really enjoy the spring & summer mixes but this is totally different from those.
Philosophy Loveswept has a great mix of notes you’ll find in varying scent in my collection, like pink jasmine, cedarwood, & violet. & also…some notes I’m not usually drawn to at all like amber & bergamot. Somehow…this mix really works for me though! Although the base is musky which I don’t usually dig somehow the more floral/fruity side really makes it work for me!

Notes:
– Top: bergamot, blue violet.
– Middle: lotus blossom, pink jasmine, purple passionfruit.
– Base: musk, creamy amber, white cedarwood.
I’d describe Philosophy Loveswept as romantic & feminine with a touch of flirtatious. I feel girly wearing this, like those girls who twirl in springtime commercials? Oh come on, you know what I’m talking about! With oversize hats & sunglasses? Yep! 
You can find Philosophy Loveswept at Sephora, Nordstrom, Macys, the Philosophy website, & wherever Philosophy is sold for varying prices depending on size. There are also other options like lotions, body washes, travel fragrances, etc.
Have you taken a whiff yet? What did you get or gift for Valentine’s Day? Any favorite Philosophy products I should check out?

If you caught my post called My Top 10 Random Gifting Guide for Holiday 2013 + Giveaway! then you probably got all excited about the Get Fresh products I’ve been prepping to review! I have two sets to show- both of them are amazing gift ideas for year round. I think these hold a special place in my heart because they donate a portion of their proceeds to Military charities that help Wounded Warriors transition successfully back into civilian life. Keep reading to see my thoughts on the Get Fresh Look Better Naked body set in Grapefruit & the Get Fresh Warrior Princess Foot Kit in Blackberry Vanilla & an awesome discount code!

First let’s talk about the Get Fresh Look Better Naked body set in Grapefruit. You get three products inside an adorable (& definitely reusable!) drawstring bag. The bag itself is super cute & made of kind of a washcloth fabric on the outside & that waterproof bright blue fabric on the inside. It feels nice & durable & has the the words “look better naked” printed on the outside. So cute!

Inside you have three body products- mineral body scrub, body mask, & rich body creme. I love the grapefruit scent for a full body care kit, it is so invigorating & smells so cleanly feminine to me. This set is meant to exfoliate then detoxify then moisturize dull, dry skin. Yes, so perfect for this time of year! The scrub is wonderfully creamy & dreamy but also probably about a medium exfoliation. It isn’t too rough but definitely noticeable. I haven’t used a body mask in absolutely ages so this was a total treat! After the shower I used the body creme which is very rich & sinks into the skin without leaving a greasy feeling. Love this set!

Next we have the Get Fresh Warrior Princess Foot Kit in Blackberry Vanilla which comes in a super cute case! I love that both of the “packaging” on these sets are reusable, waste not! You can read about the donation information (this is a photo of the included tag) which is nice to remember. The size of this set is larger than a pencil case in case you were wondering, I know sometimes it is hard to tell! Each tub is 2 oz.

I was nervous about this scent because some vanilla scents are quite artificial but this is fantastic. I absolutely love the somehow sexy but also calming scent combination! This pedicure kit has a sugar foot scrub, intensive cream, & a moisturizing cream. Pictured above you also get a pumice stone! Ah, I am so thrilled with this scent, completely unexpected for a pedicure set!

I hope you found this post helpful, I loved these items & wanted to make sure you knew that while holiday shopping! Speaking of shopping, the great people at Get Fresh have given my readers a 20% off code! Just use code STEPHANIE upon checkout! That’s an awesome value! If you’re opting to give these as gifts don’t forget to talk to the recipient about the awesome charity work Get Fresh does. I always love hearing about that when I get gifts! Obviously this would make a great self-gift too! 😉
