BEST BODY GIFT
Kiehl’s Creme De Corps Collection, $65
Kiehl’s cherished Creme de Corps products, rich in all-day hydration, are ideal for luxuriously pampering dry skin. Includes Creme de Corps 8.4oz, Creme de Corps Body Polish 6.8oz, Ultimate Strength Hand Salve 2.5oz, and Lip Balm #1. Deluxe Samples: Ultra Facial Cream, Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate.
Power Primper Shannon O’Brien of CheapFrillsandThrills.com swears by this cream saying that “This is the best body lotion I have ever come across. It’s not sticky and will calm even the driest skin. Its yellow color comes from the abundance of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is known for its ability to increase skin cell turn-over and regeneration.”
BEST FRAGRANCE GIFT
Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme Gift Set, $94
Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme will envelop the senses and linger long after she is gone. Seductive and soothing neroli intertwines with nuances of raspberry over the playful hint of tart green mandarin. This gives way to a heart of voluptuous luxury, a softly undulating bouquet of velvety jasmine and citrusy sweet orange blossom. The addictive and sugary guimauve introduces the full-bodied sensuality of the vanilla base notes, and the captivating fragrance is further lit by the roundness of heliotrope and smooth, creamy sandalwood. The set includes 3.3 oz Pour Femme Eau De Parfum Spray, 0.15 oz Pour Femme Eau De Parfum, and The Lipstick in Ruby 180.
BEST BATH GIFT
Bliss Happy “Aloe” Days Set, $33
