BF’s Holiday Gorgeous Gift-Giving Guide: Tarte’s Holiday 2012 PLUS Collection

Posted on by

It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas…everywhere you go!

I don’t know about y’all but my sweet Mom has been calling me asking which delectable dishes of hers I would most love to enjoy for the holidays. Mmmmmm…

She gave me scrumptious choices – as her food is the only food that tempts me all the way down to my heart and tastebuds. Some of my options? Italian Cream Cake, German Chocolate Cake, Strawberry Cake, Bread Pudding, Christmas Pie, Orange Slice cake, Sausage Balls, Shrimp Ball, Pumpkin Bread, Robert Redford Delight, her signature Blueberry Crepes, her classic EggNog and many, many more. See why one of my favorite pastimes is cooking? I inherited it from the best of the best – my Mom!

While I looooove food, I cannot indulge nearly as much as I would like to. So sweet gift choices must satiate my sweet tooth! Lucky for me, Tarte has a bevy of them this year.

 

Tarte's Holiday Collection plus some classic gift faves (prices range from $16 to $60 -- GREAT deals!)

 

Feeding into our signature sweet tooth is Tarte’s never-fail holiday collection. Give the gifts as a whole set or – do what I do – and split them up between stockings.

Between their smoky eyeliners, Maracuja miracle makeup, chubby lip crayons (with the perfect amount of color), beauty travel bag filled with their gorgeous shades or a jewelry box with Tarte essentials, you are sure to find the perfect gift for your pretty ones!

And for those of us on a budget, I love getting Tarte’s holiday collections and making multiple gifts out of them!Personalizing each gift to each person’s personality and skin tone makes these gifts pretty, personalized and pocketbook-friendly! I feel like Santa!

How sweet indeed!!

xoxo,
BF

BF’s Holiday Gorgeous Gift-Giving Guide: Butter LONDON Sparkle, Sparkle holiday sets

Butter LONDON‘s new holiday sets help you do what every good cotillion instructor tells you to do when you’re 13, “Girls, I want you to Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle!”

That’s right. Butter LONDON has one goal this holiday season and it is to help YOU sparkle, sparkle, sparkle.
How do I know this? Because their holiday collection is called “Sparkle, Sparkle”!
That – and the fact that I have been donning two of the tinsel-inspired holiday nail lacquers, Rosie Lee (on my toes) and Fairy Cake (on my fingers), during the debut of this holiday party season.

Butter LONDON's Sparkle, Sparkle Holiday Lacquer Collection #1 ($25)

 

I have been asked what I’m wearing numerous times and, as the lady I learned to be in cotillion, I gladly reply “Butter LONDON’s Sparkle, Sparkle holiday collection #1!”

I also love the Jack the Lad gorgeous green glittering polish in the Butter LONDON Sparkle, Sparkle Holiday Collection #2 as emerald green has been declared Pantone’s color of the year for 2013!

 

Butter LONDON's Sparkle, Sparkle Holiday Lacquer Collection #2 ($25)

 

Here’s another little ladylike tip from me to you:
Want a super easy & pocketbook-pretty holiday gift idea?

Buy a set each of the Sparkle, Sparkle Lippy (lip gloss) collection and the Sparkle, Sparkle lacquer collection and then play Santa! Give a set to your 3 best girlfriends or split ‘em up and customize gifts perfect for your pickiest of friends.

 


By doing this, you’ll have anywhere from 3-9 gifts depending on how much you have in your budget to spend. Perfect gifts for your girlfriends or Secret Santa gifts!

Any girl, and a guy or two I know too, is sure to feel shiny and new with a little sparkle on their lips or toes.

After all, ’tis the season to compete with tinsel!

And, honey, we wanna win that competition!

BF
