HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE: BEAUTY

November 18, 2020 By houseofhargrove@gmail.com

I love to gift people beauty products during the holidays.  This time of year all the brands come up with special gift sets where you can try different items, limited edition colors, etc.  It is a great way to try smaller sizes of things to see if you like them before investing in the full size.  Also, I feel like this might be an area people ignore and don’t spend the money on themselves, so it is a nice was to treat those you love.  This is also a great time to treat yourself and stock up on your favorites with value sets! There are so many great options out there, but here are my top picks. . . Holiday Gift Guide: Beauty Edition!  

TIP: I love buying holiday sets and breaking them up for smaller gifts.  For example the Laura Mercier Body Cream set and Nude Lip Gloss set could be broken up to several smaller gifts, or combined to make more customized gifts!.  Combine the cream and a gloss for a great gift, use the extra glosses as stocking stuffers, etc!

  1. LAURA MERCIER TRAVEL BODY CREAM SET: They make the most amazing body cream.  It smells so good!  4 incredible scents Almond Coconut, Creme Brulee, Ambre Vanilla and Fresh Fig.  True story, when I worked at Neiman Marcus in the beauty buying office Almond Coconut sold out and I had a customer stop me in the downtown store and offer me $150 if I had a jar of it in my office she could buy.  She was obsessed and it had sold out everywhere!  This is a great set to break up and give to several people!
  2. T3 1.25″ CURLING IRON: This is hands down my favorite curling iron.  The barrel is longer which is helpful with long hair and it gives the perfect curls that last longer! Great reviews and this link has the best price I found!
  3. COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD DISCOVERY SET: Hands down one of my favorite things.  I LOVE Colleen Rothschild products.  They are so great and this set offers 6 of the top sellers so you can use it for travel or as a great way to try the products and see what you love.
  4. MAGNETIC LASHES:  I use these and love them.  They are easy to apply, can be used several times and look great!  I put on 2 layers of liner and then apply the lashes!  These are a great stocking stuffer item!
  5. FACE & EYE PALETTE: Jouer makes some of my favorite make-up.  They have the most beautiful colors with long lasting pigment.  This beautiful set comes with 6 shadows, a blush and a highlighter.
  6. FLOWERBOMB FRAGRANCE: This is my favorite perfume.  This is what I wear and I love this limited edition bottle.  I also love this value gift set!
  7. MAC HIGHLIGHTER: This is my favorite highlighter.  I wear it every day.  It is the perfect amount of shimmer and highlight.  Easy to use and also makes a great eyeshadow.  I use the color Soft & Gentle
  8. NARS MINI ORGASM LIP DUO: Best selling color in a lip tint and gloss.  Great price and very universal color.
  9. LIVING PROOF DRY SHAMPOO SET: This is the best dry shampoo and this value set comes with a full size and travel size.  You basically get the travel size free.
  10. IMPRESS NAILS: I love these nails and wear the all the time.  No glue, they last about 1.5-2 weeks on my nails.  Tons of color options.  You can read my entire blog post about them HERE.
  11. COLLEEN ROTHSCHILD HAIR MASK: This hair mask is SOOOOO good.  Leaves hair untangled, shiny, smooth and smells so good!  This stuff is the best.
  12. MAC WOW FACTOR EYE KIT: 2 beautiful eyeshadows with black liner and mascara.  Make your eyes look amazing this holiday season with this beautiful set!
  13. MAC LIQUID LIP COLOR: This color is so pretty and comes in lots of great colors with plumping effects.  I LOVE the Just Hustlin shade.  Great reviews
  14. HAIRDRYER BRUSH: Yall, this thing has 110k 5 star reviews!!!  OMG! I dont think I have ever seen that many reviews before.  It is a hairdryer and brush in one.  Give your hair an at home blow out. Smooth volume and shine in 1 east step.
  15. BEST OF NUDES LIP SET: 3 mini lip creams and 3 mini lip glosses in gorgeous nude colors.  Only $28 ($38 value).  Great set to split up into multiple gifts.

Last year, Geoff and I added wires up this wall in a diamond trellis pattern. We planted creeping fig, but unfortunately, it all died this winter. I just planted Star Jasmine in its place so really hoping it survives. Texas weather is hard!. Thanks to a little AI magic I was able to create what my ultimate vision is. Fingers crossed it will look like this in a couple of years.

I’m letting you in on a little secret...my potted flowers are not real 🤫

I’ve been on the hunt for faux flowers for my outdoor pots and I finally found a winner!!

🌸 comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links

I kept spending lots of money each season on real flowers and it was so much work keeping them alive!

I was looking for a better option and finally found one!

These faux flowers are
•BEAUTIFUL ....always in bloom
•ZERO MAINTENANCE ...no watering, fertilizing, etc
•BUDGET FRIENDLY ...these are priced great and you don’t have to replace them each season
•AND LOOK REAL. Some faux flowers are bad!! These really look good and unless you dig in there you’d never know they are faux

Each pack comes in a bundle of 2 bunches. Each bunch has 7 stems. You can plant 2 ways and I tried both. You can plant the bundle attached together and bend the stems (they are wired) to spread everything out....or....you can cut the bundles apart and plant the stems individually. I ended up doing that and thought they looked more realistic that way.  I ended up using 5 packages (10 bunches) for 2 large pots and 1 smaller pot.

I share both ways on IG stories so you can see the difference.

I also removed some soil and added floral foam blocks beneath, recovered with dirt and stuck the flowers in them.  I don’t think this step was necessary, but I wanted to make sure they were in there firm.

I’m so excited I now get to enjoy beautiful flowers with zero work 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Yall I recently discovered you could make fun art on ChatGPT using your own images for free! @ciarakenaston inspired me with her Beatrix Potter images and I did a deep dive and found you can do so many cool things!

🩵 Download ChatGPT if you haven’t already and have fun!

Upload an image. Can be of your home, your family, etc and then type in prompts to have it alter your image. You can play around with it and try all kinds of things but here were my prompts for the video

1. Beatrix Potter inspired illustration
2. Jan Brett inspired illustration
3. Vintage oil painting
4. E.H. Shepard inspired illustration 
5. Retro British cottage core style

If you do some be sure to share and tag me. I’d love to see them. Endless possibilities!!

❤️AMAZON PRIME SALE❤️ : these are part of the big Amazon sale going on right now

Our family loves fruit, but I HATE how fast it goes bad! I cannot tell you how many times I have thrown out fruit for mold...in just a few days!!

These produce containers have been a game changer! They come in different sets on Amazon for a great price. I bought the 5 piece set because I wanted the larger size container.

They make it so easy to have quick, healthy food ready to go! Each container comes with a colander so you can rinse the fruit and then put it in the container. It allows air to circulate keeping the produce fresher longer!

Can be used for fruit, veggies, meat, etc!
-Dishwasher safe
-leakproof
-amazing reviews!!

🍓comment SHOP for links!
