About Me

My photo
This make-up artist and esthetician has a (bordering on unhealthy) addiction to all things beauty! No amount of eyeshadows or cream liners will ever be enough! I go giddy for all things girly. Lipgloss might not be able to heal the world, but it can lift a gal's spirits!

Super Stocking Stuffers & Small Gifts

I know for me it's hard to stay on budget around the holidays, especially when your gifting list grows by the minute! If you have a good amount of co-workers or clients, what do you do without breaking the bank? Homemade is always a lovely gesture, but I have realized between time spent & money on ingredients- it can be just as expensive! I often tend to stay on theme with what I do & often make a play on my mantra Peace Love Lipgloss. I have been saying it for over a decade, and it meshes well with the fact that I'm an esthetician & make-up artist. I often grab a set & break it up, like this Stila holiday lip gloss set. A cute card & one of these glosses is a perfect little gift which breaks down to only $3.12 a piece!

On the same page this Korres shower gel & body butter sampler is perfect to split up! I would put one of the shower gels together with one of the body butters with a mesh body sponge as the bow(you can find them at the dollar store.) You have a practical, yet pampering without being too girly gift for right around $5!

I heart Philosophy's packaging. Their play on words is truly one of a kind. This set gives the best of both worlds- a little bath care & lip gloss. I would garnish each set with an actual item relating to the flavor. I'd stick the bubbly items in a champagne glass(again from the dollar store), actual peppermint bark, candy canes, etc. This price would be a smidge higher, but still rather affordable at around $10 a piece. What thrifty, yet fabulous gift ideas have you come up with this holiday season beauties?
Peace. Love. Presents. M

The Make-Up Show


I've seen this line before at Sephora, but always thought Korres focused more on all natural skincare. At The Make-Up Show Korres was obviously trying to spread the word about their growing color collections to professional make-up artists. I had been wanting to try their silicone free primer, because as I know I mention time & time again- moi just doesn't like that slippery feel on her already slippery (oily) skin! The primer feels more like a lightweight lotion & provides a nice hydrating base for make-up. It does not give a mattifying effect so I would definitely use this on mothers of brides for glowing make-up. The gunmetal grey & shimmery white eye shadows I picked up, I was very pleased with. Rich, intense pigment that glides on. Their shadows also contain sunflower oil to help firm the eyelid- sign me up for that! A last minute add on of their Pomegranate Wipes turned out to be my favorite purchase of the lot. These antioxidant wipes refresh the skin while removing impurites & make-up - they also just plain smell delicious & are perfect for on the go. Korres is a line to keep your eye on!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
