Christmas Gift Ideas: Part Two - Stocking Stuffers From Kit Cosmetics

Christmas is getting closer by the second and I for one am trying to get all my shopping done ASAP. Often it's the little presents you forget to buy such as a Kris Kringle gift for someone at work, or a thank you gift for your hairdresser. It's time's like this I head to stores like Kit Cosmetics. They have a wide range of fabulous brands in store, and always have great budget-friendly buys.

Here are some of my favourite products that would be great stocking stuffers and last-minute gifts.

All Things Nice Cinnamon and Spice Body Wash RRP $31.95

This body wash doubles as a bubble bath and smells absolutely delicious! It reminds me of pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks during the holiday season and the smell of Christmas cake wafting from the oven. Yum! It lathers well and the scent lingers ever so slightly. The bottle is huge, with a pump lid for convenience in the shower! I am yet to try it as a bubble bath, but I am sure it is equally yummy used that way. Love it.

Castille Soap - Australian Peppermint and Blue Cypress RRP $14.95

Another shower product! What can I say, I love delicious smelling body washes! This multi-purpose soap is perfect for these hot summer months as the amazing peppermint scent is incredibly cooling. The soap is very runny, but can be worked in to a good lather. I suggest using it with a loofah. I love this product because it leaves my skin feeling ultra clean and soft!

Kit Cosmetics Limited Edition Lip Gloss in Melon Crush RRP $17.95

This lip gloss is so yummy! It has a slight shimmer to it and is sticky enough that it lasts a long time, without that overly tacky feeling on the lips. The smell is sweet melon and it is delicious! A great Kris Kringle present.

Smashbox 'Girls On Film' Blush Rush in Silhouette RRP $34.95

I've always been a big fan of Smashbox products. They are high quality and beautiful, and the brand always comes out with great collections. The Girls On Film collection, which was launched recently, features this product, Blush Rush, in the colour Silhouette. It is a gorgeous nude colour, perfect for everyday wear. LOVE.

Soap & Glory The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser RRP $36.95

This amazing cleanser is the ultimate for late-night makeup removal. The scent of this cleanser is so calming as it is made with an array of essential oils. I tend to drift off to sleep so easily after using this, it's such a relaxing scent! I always use the muslin cloth that comes with this product to make washing my face feel more like a luxurious facial than a chore. As this product is full of natural ingredients, it would be a safe gift for someone with more sensitive skin. All in all, I would definitely recommend this cleanser for easy, relaxing makeup removal and cleansing.

These are just a handul of the amazing products on offer at Kit Cosmetics. Head on over to their website for store locations and to check out their online shop. At the moment if you spend over $100, shipping is free!

You can still get your gifts delivered by Christmas, check out the cut-off dates for pre-Christmas delivery on the website.

Happy shopping!

Christmas 2011 Gift Ideas: Part One - OPI

With Christmas just a few short weeks away, I thought I would put together a few gift idea posts for those of you who are like me and have not even started their gift shopping.

In each post I'm going to include some great new Christmas packs from brands we all know and love.

First up, OPI!

The Best Of The Best gift pack features ten mini OPI nail polishes, in the most popular shades from the permanent collection. I was super excited to get my hands on this as it features some of my all-time favourites such as Lincoln Park After Dark, Big Apple Red and Cajun Shrimp, but also includes some shades I've wanted to try, but wasn't sure if I wanted to buy the whole bottle such as Russian Navy and You Don't Know Jacques!

RRP: $39.95

What nail polish lover doesn't adore the OPI Muppets Collection? I can't imagine any girl not loving this gift set. Featuring four mini polishes, the Muppettes pack is great for those wanting a taste of the Muppets collection. In my opinion, OPI have picked four of the best colours from the range! I am particularly obsessed with Designer de Better, which is an absolutely gorgeous shimmery champagne colour. LOVE.

RRP $24.95

I'm not going to lie, I've never been one to use hand cream. However, since this Show Of Hands set arrived on my doorstep, I have been using the Avoplex High-Intensity Hand & Nail Cream religiously. When I say religiously, I mean constantly throughout the day! I love the feeling of it on my hands, whereas other hand creams I've tried are either too thick or too sticky. For whatever reason, this cream is perfect for me and I recommend it highly. 

The second item in this set is the Avoplex Nail & Cuticle Replenishing Oil. While I don't love it as much as the hand cream, I have noticed a significant difference in the condition of my nails and cuticles after continued use of this product. I keep it on my bedside table to remind myself to apply it before I go to bed at night and again in the morning. Great product!

RRP $29.95

These are just a few of the great holiday sets OPI has available. Head to your local stockist (I usually head for David Jones or Adore Beauty) and check them out!
