It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Essentials

#BeautyBagDolls & #ItGirls you all know who you are you get that feeling of excitement and nervousness when you get home a package is sitting on the steps that has It Cosmetics in it. Excited because its It Cosmetics of course and nervous because the box has the newest products in it from It Cosmetics that you hold to a high standard and let me be the first to tell you my nerves faded quickly when I opened the box because it was filled with my complimentary PR samples that were love at first use. I had to chose one to start with and I picked the It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Essentials Eyeshadow an the must have Heavenly Luxe No-Tug Duel Eyeshdow Brush (No5). These two are the perfect combination to perfect eyeshadow. Learn more and purchase yours here @ http://www.itcosmetics.com/

This is a perfect palette to use at home and to take with you on the go! It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Essential is a beauty bag must!


I have reviewed the eye shadows from It Cosmetics in the past, they were the full size ones and they are perfection as you know and this one is a fraction of the size but still packs the same punch! It is not only in an adorable easy to travel with pallet (perfect to take with you on vacation or to tuck into your beauty bag when your on the go) but it has the same amazing anti-aging and skin loving ingredients such as the peptides, hydrolyzed collagen silk and antioxidants. I also am thrilled to say It Cosmetics is developed with plastic surgeons and dermatologists so I know it is good for my sensitive eyes & skin along with being talc free, paraben free and cruelty free.  Now that we got the details out of the way let me tell you about these six amazing matte shades and one transforming Hello Light shade. They are indeed all matte unless you tap your brush into the transforming hello light shade to give it a radiant satin hue. I am in love with all six shades Imagine is a  Matte silk beige, Wonder is a Matte nude khaki, Dream is a Matte desert sand, Passion is a Matte nude taupe, Intrigue is a Matte earthy sepia and Allure is a Matte smoky gray. I am telling you all that I have used all of these shades in so many different ways and don't be intimidated by the two darker shade Intrigue and Allure are amazing and I also enjoy using them as a liner with the duel ended brush it easy to get the perfect line or even to wing it out. The Heavenly Luxe No-Tug Duel eyeshadow brush truly applies these shadows with ease and never tugs my eyelids. This is a brush like not other, in fact it is the holy grail for eyeshadow brushes and I give it a 5 $$$$$ buy yours now @ http://www.itcosmetics.com/heavenly-luxer-no-tugr-dual-eyeshadow-5 As for the eyeshadow it truly stands the test of long wear ( I have been wearing daily for at least 15 hour days) it does not crease and my favorite part is the color pigment truly lasts all day. How I apply it in the morning is exactly how it looks when I got to remove it with ByeBye Makeup(see my previous review of this amazing It Cosmetics makeup removing balm). It also never flakes off and into my eyes because It Cosmetics has nailed the matte shadow field which I LOVE a matte shadow. The easy to travel with pallet is perfect for a day at the beach that turns into dusting on some amazing It Cosmetics Naturally Pretty Essentials Matte Luxe Transforming Eyeshadow Palette for a night out while looking put together and perfect or taking out of your purse for a quick touch up at the office before a huge meeting! This It Cosmetics Natrually Pretty Essentials get a 5 $$$$$ for its staying power and ability to be good for my eyelids while making me feel pretty. Buy yours now @ http://www.itcosmetics.com/naturally-pretty-essentials-matte-luxe-transforming-eyeshadow-palette

Extra Love from Anna: I am in LOVE with this Eye Shadow Pallet from IT Cosmetics because they are Lid loving ingredients that have changed my opinion of eye shadow forever. I used to struggle to find a Matte Eye Shadow but now I have found my forever Eye Shadow Brand! It is a creamy powder that has made my eye shine bright! . THANK YOU It Cosmetics for this superior Eye Shadow Pallet!

Josie Maran Whipped Argan Body Butter

Aloha #BeautyBagDolls

I am thrilled to tell you a package of Josie Maran Argan Oil goodies arrived! I will have a few reviews for you and today I am brining you a review of the Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter in two scents Cucumber Aloe and Honeysuckle Vanilla. They are the 2 ounce travel size which are so perfect for the season with travel and vacation season about to begin. I personally love them as well for tossing into my purse or makeup bag so that I can use some on my hands anytime they feel dry or dehydrated while at work. I have to say this has been a skin savoir for me. You can buy yours now here @ http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/
Argan Oil Whipped Body Butter from Josie Maran is a Beauty Bag must!



I have this extremely dry, itchy and at times flakey skin and with summer coming I go into overdrive trying to make it better.  I have tried everything it embarrass me in the spring and summer when I wear shirts and shorts but after just 3 days and two applications per day the dry and itchy skin didn't feel so dry or itchy anymore in fact  I didn't even notice it but what truly makes me so happy that I tear up is that it doesn't itch or feel painfullyy dry anymore. The day that Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter came into my life I knew it was game changing. When you open this up not only do you notice the amazing scent (if you are allergic or sensitive to scent unscented is available) but you notice how thick and luxurious the Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter is. I mean you can turn the tub upside down and not a drop come out until you take it out for yourself! I could not go wrong with which whipped Argan Oil I applied either Cucumber Aloe or the Honeysuckle Vanilla. A little went a long way. I love it so much that I didn't even need to apply a perfume because the scent of these Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter's are just perfect! I got asked what fragrance I was using and I only was wearing Argan Oil Body Butter, needless to say everyone now wants it at my office! I love how soft and supple my skin is and its non greasy. My skin felt like velvet and it was moisturized! Buy your favorite scent @ http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/whipped-argan-oil-body-butter-travel-size-2-oz.html#.V0NN3bvmodV

I could not ask for more from Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter it has truly been a life changing experience for me and for all of these reasons I mentioned from INTENSE HYDRATION TO A PERFECTLY SCENTED LIGHT WEIGHT BODY BUTTER I GIVE Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter A 5 $$$$$

Laura Geller-Lip

Calling all #BeautyBagDolls who love Lipstick and Lip gloss. I am happy that I got to try out two of Laura Geller's Lip Products. The Laura Geller Luscious Lipstick is just amazing! Its lipstick that is absolutely perfect. It does not dry out my lips and feels great when I apply it. It is formulated with Vitamin E and a special texturizing gel, which is highly pigmented, full-coverage liquid lipstick glides on as a liquid and dries to a weightless, semi-matte finish. I also love that it is never dry or sticky. I am always looing for a good matte finish lipstick and that this one is semi-matte makes it absolutely perfect for me. The shade I received was Peach Buttercream and this was the perfect shade for me because it mixed the peach shade that I am usually nervous about with pink and when they mixed it made a perfect shade that I can wear all day and into the night. Find your perfect Laura Geller Luscious Lipstick here @ http://www.laurageller.com/luscious-lips-liquid-lipstick.html
Laura Gellers Luscious Lipstick & Color Drenched Lip Gloss are both Beauty Bag Musts!




The lip gloss I received is the Laura Geller Color Drenched in the shade Pink Lemonade. This was made for me. The shade is a perfect pink. It is described as a tulip pink which I have a lip liner in this shade and I combine them together for a flawless lip application and honestly you don't even need the lip liner this gloss is moisturizing and non sticky. The color pay off is like its name drenched in color. It doesn't wear off in an hour like other lip glosses. I love it. For me lip gloss and/or lipstick finish your look and I don't leave the house without it. I know will love this gloss as well just find your shade here @ http://www.laurageller.com/color-drenched-lip-gloss.html

Laura Geller Lip product's have HIGHSHINE, AMAZING COLOR PAYOFF WITH OUT ANY DRYING EFFECTS ON YOUR LIPS I GIVE IT A 5 $$$$$

Josie Maran Blush & Eye Shadow

I have now found my new favorite blush and eye shadow and it comes from Josie Maran. I was thrilled when I received complimentary Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee in the Pink Escape Shade and the Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Eye Shadow in the Beach Sand Shade. You can learn more and buy yours here @  http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/
Josie Maran's Cheek Gelee and Coconut Watercolor Eye Shadow are my new Beauty Bag must haves!


I actually first used the blush which as you all know is something that I shy away from but I knew this one was different because I love the fact that it was buildable.  It is made with coconut water and argan oil which "adds up to a deliciously dewy blush that gives you the natural look of a cream and the hydration and staying power of a gel." According to the Josie Maran website description it lasts "up to 14 hours of color and hydration." I must say I have personally tested it and it truly does last well past 14 hours. I put my makeup on around 5 AM and don't take it off until 10 or 11pm and my Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee stood the test of long wear. It also still look great and didn't travel or fade at all! The only thing you have to choose is your shade here @ http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/coconut-watercolor-cheek-gelee.html#.V0NWubvmodV This amazing Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee gets a 5 $$$$$ for its ability to last and the buildable amazing color payoff.

I am a huge fan of eye shadow and I have been on a quest to find a good eye shadow that has great pigment pay off, that is non irritating to my sensitive eyes and that is actually good for your eyelid. I have found few brands that meet my criteria, thankfully I can now add Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Eye Shadow to the list of must have eye shadows. This was truly different than what I usually use it was a doe-foot applicator which I love and the ingredient deck was coconut water and argan oil which gave my eyelids 100% hydration with zero irritation and perfect pigment. The shade I received was Beach Sand and it is a perfect shade to create a subtle smoky eye which is what I love for a daytime look but the Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Eye Shadow is buildable so I love that I can add a little more to build the color. It lasts all day the from the moment I put it on until I take it off. All that is left to do is to choose which ones you want here @ http://www.josiemarancosmetics.com/coconut-watercolor-eye-shadow.html#.V0NZBbvmodU I am in love with this eye shadow and I give it a 5 $$$$$ for being gentle yet having lid loving ingredient's with a color payoff that lasts! Also both the Blush and Eye Shadow are travel size friendly so take it with you on vacation and you will never be without it!

Emjoi MICRO-Pedi

Now that spring is here and summer is on our minds I jumped at the chance #BeautyBagDolls to review complimentary Emjoi MICRO-Pedi. I have never used one before, I have only had my feet done at the salon so I was a little nervous but it seemed simple enough. Just put in two AA batteries (no included in the kit) remove the cover and get started on gently and effectively buffing away rough, dry and calloused skin in seconds. I love the grip on the device itself it was rubberized and easy to handle. To learn more and buy yours visit here @ https://emjoi.com/

This Beauty Bag must have arrives nicely packaged and makes a great gift!



My personal experience with the Emjoi MICRO-Pedi has been nothing but amazing! After the first use I saw an amazing difference in my feet.(You will see my before and after photo) They were smooth and soft. I never got nicked or hurt because it was so gentle comparing it to the salon I will never go back to letting them hurt my feet. This is personal and hygienic because I am the only one using it. I can care for my feet now in spring and summer and even though the winter months because it is extremely affordable. It was very powerful for being battery operated which also impressed me. This summer I will proudly show off my feet because they are smooth and beautiful! I give this amazing device that get a 5 $$$$$ for its ability to gently and effectively smooth rough dry feet into beautiful smooth feet that I want to show off! Buy yours here @https://emjoi.com/Store/Products/AP-3RP

RITUALS Lip Care

#BeautyBagDolls RITUALS has done it yet again! I am so over joyed with this line of product! It is absolutely amazing! If you have been following my posts through the past few weeks I have been review products from RITUALS it all started with their amazing fragrance then I did a review on three products from their skin care line which is perfection now I have a final review of the RITUALS Lip Care products. I was sent complimentary RITUALS Magic Balm, RITUALS Smooth Operator with SPF 15 and 2 RITUALS LA VI EN ROSE Smooth Colour Lip Gloss in shades Pale Pink & Fresh Coral. You can find your lip care products @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/home
RITUALS Lip Care is the only products I trust! They are Beauty Bag Musts!




When I first looked at these I could not wait to try them all but I decided to first start with the RITUALS Magic Balm because I needed to care for my lips they had been feeling particularly dry since I had been using a matte lip stain all day.  Let me start off by saying if your lips are the least bit dry or irritated go for the RITUALS Magic Balm because it worked miracle on my lips. This is a natural lip balm with  ingredients like Shea Butter and soothing Calendula it went to work on soothing and moisturizing my lips instantly! I will not go to sleep at night without this on my lips. It is lightweight and feel great, I even put some on before applying any lipstick. You can buy yours @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/lip-care/magic-balm-9461.html#start=53 The next RITUALS lip care product is the RITUALS Smooth Operator Caring Lip Balm with SPF 15. Now this is an awesome lip balm that goes on smooth and feels great. It is a moisturizing lip balm with Shea Butter,  Eucalyptus and Vitamin E. The fact that it has SPF 15 is just another great aspect of the RITUALS brand, I use this when I know I will be outside and I also love to put some on underneath lipstick or gloss that doesn't contain an SPF factor. This is another Beauty Bag must from RITUALS and you can purchase it here @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/lip-care/smooth-operator-3295.html#start=34 These two lip balms are a $$$$$ without a doubt and are something I will not be without ever so you guessed it #BeautyBagDolls these are a Beauty Bag Must!

The next product from RITUALS is a lip gloss. I love lip gloss and wear it everyday of the week so finding a great one is always the goal. I was thrilled that the RITUALS LA VI EN ROSE Smooth Colour Lip Gloss in shades Pale Pink & Fresh Coral both delivered an amazing color pay off on my lips while lasting long and not drying my lips out. The Pale Pink shade is a perfect light pink almost nude shade that had high shine and amazing subtle color. You can purchase the  RITUALS LA VI EN ROSE Smooth Colour Lip Gloss in shade Pale Pink @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/la-vie-en-rose---pale-pink-3233.html#start=49 While the Fresh Coral was really fresh for me because I could not find the right shade of coral for my skin tone until now. This one reflect off of my lips to give the perfect color that pops off my skin tone all while having great shine! You can try this RITUALS LA VI EN ROSE Smooth Colour Lip Gloss in shade Fresh Coral @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/la-vie-en-rose---fresh-coral-3234.html#start=41 The are both perfect and never dry out your lips so a 5$$$$$ is in order as well as a definite Beauty Bag Must!

Spoolies Hair Curlers

Hello #BeautyBagDolls I am so happy to bring to you today a review of a product that I truly admire. I love my hair in fact I am slightly obsessed! Since I was little I have loved my hair. I have curled it, braided it and styled it since I was a child. After all the years of heat styling in the curls I had just stopped doing it after a while because it was too much damage, until now! Spoolies Hair Curlers have just changed that because I can achieve beautiful soft waves, natural ringlets and pin curls anytime I want with some heat from a dryer or let them naturally air dry. These fabulous hair curlers are so different that what I used growing up and now the hot curlers are a no go with the damage they do. Spoolies is of course heat tolerate, requires NO CLIP (YAY), truly is easy to use, causes no split ends and is dishwasher safe. They are a silicone rubber hair curlers that are soft and flexible. They are PVC, DEHP and Latex Free. They are available in three fun colors Playful Pink, Shadow Black and Hello Glow (Hello Glow glows in the dark). I received complimentary the 24 pack in Playful Pink and two in Hello Glow as well as two in Shadow Black. You can learn more and purchase them on their website @ http://www.spoolies.com/

Spoolies Hair Curlers are beautifully packaged and store easily in the mesh bag! I love them!



These are so fabulous they come packaged perfectly and the results are just what I want. I control how curly my hair is with how I wind each section in the curler. It is a gentle way to curl you hair and I never pulled or tugged at it. I never burnt my finger, scalp or forehead because their is no heat. Most days I did it after I let my hair air dry for a while and then rolled these in. Some days I dampened my hair with some water or spray and rolled them in for a beach wave type curl. Depending on how tight you roll them it will determine how your curls turn out. Honestly you cannot make a mistake here it is so easy and each time I had wonderful curls that didn't take much effort. Just look at the photo, my hair is perfectly curled after using Spoolies Hair Curlers! I even left one in for you to see how they look in you hair. I am giving these Spoolies Hair Curlers a 5 $$$$$ because I got the perfect curls easily without any pain and they never slip out of place. The Spoolies Hair Curler are easy to use on yourself or to do a child's hair I am thrilled that I have choice to use heat or not! Buy yours today here @ http://www.spoolies.com/

My hair has beautiful curls when using the Spoolies Hair Curlers! I left one in on the left side they are so lightweight and comfortable. They roll up easily and are non-slip! I love the Beach Like curls I get using Spoolies Hair Curlers! They are a beauty bag must!

MANKIND HERO By Kenneth Cole

Hi #BeautyBagDolls I am so thrilled to be brining you another special review for the special guy(s) in you life. For Fathers, Husbands, Brothers, Uncles, Grandfathers or you best friend I have been so blessed to be able to receive a free sample of the Kenneth Cole fragrance set called MANKIND HERO and it is a beautifully packaged 3 Piece Set that would make a great gift and with Fathers Day approaching I could not think of a better gift to give. Visit http://www.kennethcole.com/home


This is a great 3 piece gift to give!


This 3 piece kit includes  3.4 oz fragrance spray, hair and body wash and after shave balm. It is beautifully packaged and ready to give as a gift. The scent is so nice and not over powering! One or two spritz is enough which means the value is great because the bottle will last a while. I love that my guy loved this and he was thrilled with the fact that he could layer the fragrances, meaning he would  use the body wash and after shave balm for added scent and if he felt he wanted or needed to he could use or not use the fragrance spray. On some days he used other body washes and used only the fragrance spray. He loved the options he had and I was thrilled that he loved it so much. It didn't make him sneeze or me in fact it has the following notes. Top notes of Italian lemon and coriander seeds. Mid notes of plum wood, lavender, clary sage, and vanilla infusion.  Down with notes of coumarin, amber woods, white moss, and musks. All these amazing scents combined make this perfect fragrance called MANKIND HERO By Kenneth Cole. I am giving this fragrance a 5 $$$$$ for every reason mentioned above and the fact that my man stated the after shave balm is soothing to his skin which is just what he needs after shaving his face. It make a great gift for the guy(s) in your life to say thank you and or I love you.

Buy your RITUALS Body Care products here @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/body/
3 RITUALS essentials that will make your skin feel amazing!


I first started with the RITUAL of Sakura Body Scrub in organic rice & cherry blossom. Let first start with the scent it is of course amazing. Now the texture is like no other body scrub I have ever used. Usually I use one that is dry and rough this is so different it is a combination of organic sugar and softening oils. Those oils make such a difference when you are using a scrub because instead of feeling dry and scratchy when you come out you feel so soft and moisturized all while being exfoliated! It is like something I had never experienced until I used the RITUAL of Sakura Body Scrub. It has  nourishing Rice Milk and the amazing scent of cherry blossom which is one of my favorite scents. My skin is now soft and supple and I get to have this amazing experience twice a week. Buy this for yourself here @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/the-ritual-of-sakura-body-scrub-4479.html#start=19

When I am not using that I am using the RITUALS Zensational Foaming Shower Gel with organic rice milk and cherry blossom which like the body scrub has a sweet scent that is so perfect and relaxing to me. It cleanses my skin with gel-to-foam technology. It was gentle on my skin and felt silky smooth. It to is "enriched with Organic Rice Milk, a natural ingredient that nourishes the skin and leaves it silky soft, and Cherry Blossom, the Japanese symbol of purity." Words cannot explain how awesome this RITUALS Zensational Foaming Shower Gel truly is. It is something you need to experience yourself. My skin is soft and moisturized when I get out of the shower which is  just what I want. Buy this here @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/shower-foam/the-ritual-of-sakura-shower-foam-4456.html#start=20

Now I like to follow up with the final step in this lux body care line with the RITUALS of Sakura Magic Touch Body Cream. When I hear the word cream I think heavy but this was the complete opposite of heavy. It was a soft whipped body cream that felt like magic I on my dry skin. It is very velvety to the touch and I am in love with it! My skin drank it up instantly, it never felt greasy which is what I love. I could apply it and get dressed seconds later. It contains antioxidants, Vitamin E and the ingredient Centella Asiatica, which helps strengthen your skin while also firming. I love using this as apart of the trio routine and you can try it out and buy it here @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/the-ritual-of-sakura-body-cream-4459.html#start=40

RITUALS FLEURS DE L'HIMALAYA

I have a Beauty Bag Blog first! I have never reviewed a fragrance on my blog because I know that fragrance is so personal. How we smell and what we choose is something we choose on our own but I had to let the #BeautyBagDolls know about this fragrance because it is just so amazing! It comes from an amazing brand that makes everything from fragrance to face care, body care to cosmetics. I adore them and this perfume is so on point. You can buy and learn more about RITULS brand here @   https://us.rituals.com/en-us/home

My first fragrance review and it is a Beauty Bag must!

When my package of complimentary RITUALS products arrived I was floored and I didn't know where to start but I figured why not start with fragrance because you will know instantly if you love it and by the end of the day if others turn their nose to you. I decided to spray it and get my day started. Immediately at the breakfast table my guy asked me if I did something new. I answered maybe. Then between the hustle and bustle of getting ready for work he gave me a hug goodbye and said your perfume, that is what is different and I really like it. So I was thrilled he liked it as much as I did. Long day short I continued to get compliments throughout the work day which made me happy because I really love this new fragrance. I had no headache or sneezing from switching over.

Now as far as describing it to you without you actually smelling it is always challenging. It has a hint of cotton musk but what truly comes through is the wild orchid and peony. I love the fact that the cotton musk is in to make it a sweet and spicy mix that is never over powering I never need more than two sprays and most days I spritz one in my hair so that it is so close to me that I can enjoy the fragrance. Other days I make sure I spritz on my pulse points it all just depends. I give the RITUALS FLEURS DE L'HIMALAYA perfume a 5 $$$$$ for making the most amazing perfume that smells amazing. It also lasts all day long. You will smell just as beautiful at the end of the day as you did in the beginning. Buy this one here @ https://us.rituals.com/en-us/perfume-for-her/fleurs-de-l%E2%80%99himalaya-2675.html#start=1

Fathers Day Gift Guide

#BeautyBagDolls I have a special review for you today a few products you should consider buying the special guy in you life. This is of course not only for Fathers Day, you can buy these this for the guy in your life's Birthday or just to say Hey I was thinking of you at my last trip to Ulta. That's right all of these products are available at  http://www.ulta.com/ that's right so while your picking up the latest lipstick or eye shadow take a look at what is available in the Men's section it might be something you use as well!

These are the perfect gifts for anyone special in your life!


First I received the Anthony Glycolic Cleanser Duo which features 2 full size Glycolic Cleansers. Now this is not a men's only cleanser, in fact I love it myself. It deep cleans without stripping the skin, exfoliating and controlling breakouts. Which is perfect for my guy but also amazing for me because it controls breakouts! While it smells nice it does not have a floral smell to it which why I can see why they advertise it towards men. It is easy to use to just a small dab on wet hands lather, massage onto face and neck then rinse. Very easy and straight forward which is what my man loves- I love that is will clean his skin gently without stripping his skin but it will exfoliate, which is something I don't know that I could get him to do more than a couple of times a month. Over all this is the perfect cleanser for anyone men and women so if you need a gift for a man or men in your life I say give them this! I am picking up a few to give as gift to a couple of friends of mine who's birthdays are coming up! A 5 $$$$$ for sure buy yours now here @ http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod10421021&skuId=2277434&_requestid=2504519

Now the next gift in my gift guide for the guys in your life is the Jack Black PureScience Jet Set Traveler. I love this set for any guy in your life who travels for work or advendture it absolutely necessary and if you new to the Jack Black brand it is the perfect try me size kit. It is not to little but it is just enough to know if your going to love this product or not. As for me my guy loves it what he doesn't love is my giant supersize product I have laying all over the place at times so he loves the smaller size product for himself. He tells me its so I can have more space in the bathroom (I love him even more when he says that) He uses the Pure Clean Daily Facial Cleanser (3.0 oz.) every morning he says if feels really ice and the Double-Duty Face Moisturizer SPF 20 (1.5 oz.) each day as well. I asked him why he said "it is greasy." I am happy if he is happy! He also love the Supreme Cream Triple Cushion Shave Lather (3.0 oz.) when he travels because he doesn't bring his electric shaver with him. I love the shave cream when I am in a pinch and ran out of my own I grab his! Over all this is a 5 $$$$$ because it is the perfect size and it great product for any man in you life! Buy this gift in time  for Fathers Day or any day here @ http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod3730179&skuId=2211511&_requestid=2514417

Now the final product I received complimentary to review for my gift guide is something I don't ever use but I hear my man talking about what he loves about them it is the electric shaver. The one I received for review is the Remington's Lithium Power Series Head-To-Toe Men's Grooming Kit. This kit has a self-sharpening, surgical steel blades are strong and long-lasting, delivering precision and comfort. The fully washable attachment set, including a vertical body hair trimming attachment, enables you to trim, detail, or shave any unwanted hair. Plus, the rechargeable, lithium battery provides 60 minutes of cordless runtime. My man love this he says it charged for a few hours the first time and held the charge for over a week and he uses it daily! He loved the attachments and the fact that it has its own charging station that holds all the attachments. It keeps his facial hair neat and groomed. He told me that for what it does and the price point is great. He told me to give it a 5 $$$$$ You can buy yours here @ http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod10411013&skuId=2273111&_requestid=2521858

It is on the StriVectin Neck and Face Duo the item number is A281072 or click this direct link here @ http://www.qvc.com/qvc.product.A281072.html

Formulated with StriVectin's patented molecule, NIA-114, both treatments use the same firming technology to improve skin's resiliency and elasticity allowing for an overall firmer appearance.

Am I tempted by this you ask? Absolutely! Do I already use great face and neck product? Yes! I have results from what I already use but they do say if your skin gets to used to something it will eventually stop working so I am going hold off on purchasing this one until the day it airs! I want to see before and after's! I will keep you updated! However if you already a fan I say go for it! It is a supersized value and you cannot beat that! Again the StriVectin Neck and Face Duo the item number is A281072 or click this direct link here @ http://www.qvc.com/qvc.product.A281072.html
