Plus there's a gift with purchase - a complimentary 10ml fragrance or bath bar with the purchase of a candle or 100ml fragrance.

I highly rec their Gift Set( reviewed here) and I am also loving the new Leather candle which is great for gifting and won't smell like  any other candle out there.  It's rich and smoky with labdanum and akigalwood in addition to leather. 

OGX Sparkling Cider Shampoo/Conditioner

Each year at the Holidays OGX releases seasonally fun scented shampoo and conditioner.

This year they partnered with Kandee Johnson for three fragrances.


Sparkling Cider is very fragranced and packs a hit of  warm cinnamon along with a little fruity apple. It smells great and does leave a lingering scent on your hair. I'm still on the fence about how I feel having scented hair but I do love the smell of the shampoo.

OGX products work great for my hair and these are no different. You get moisture and  light conditioning for soft, but not weighed down hair without sulfates. If you  have very dry hair, you might find you need something heavier or more conditioning ( I rec their Coconut Miracle Oil), but normal to slightly dry should do well.

OGX Holiday Sparkling Cider, Candy Gumdrop  and Frosted  Sugar Cookie are  available at Wal Mart and Ulta for $ 7.99 per bottle.

The bag measures approx. 5  1/4 x 4 inches. Just enough to hold the brushes or some lipstick and powder and tuck into a larger bag or carry on it's own.

At  $ 12 it's hard to go wrong here.

Boots No 7 Forever Flawless Brush Set is available at Walgreens in stores and online.

IT Cosmetics All That Shimmers Brush Set

Here's another great brush gift set from It Cosmetics. 

All That Shimmers has 5 brushes tucked into a silver cup/brush holder. You get a powder, foundation, eyeshadow , crease and smudge brush.  There us a foam piece in the bottom with a hole for each brush and makes for easy display.  You can remove that if you want to store more brushes in it.

Like the Chic in the City set I featured earlier this makes a great gift. All the brushes are large, not travel size with silver ombre tipped handles.
