Here Comes The Bride

June is definitely wedding month. I think every client I had today was looking for something shower or wedding related. Shower gifts can be simple, especially if she has a registry, but sometimes you want to kick it up a notch. If you’re looking for something different or just a little extra surprise, may I suggest adding Philosophy’s “Here Comes the Bride” gift set?
This five-piece set contains Philosophy’s best-selling skincare and fragrance products. It comes in an adorable box and gives the bride everything she needs to walk down the aisle looking radiant and glowing. The set contains the following top sellers-

-Purity Made Simple one-step cleanser (for all skin-types)
-Hope in a Jar original formula moisturizer (for all skin-types)
-Amazing Grace perfumed three-in-one shampoo, bath, and shower gel
-Amazing Grace perfumed firming body emulsion
-A single-use sample of their Micro-Delivery Peel (one of my favorites)

Beach Lover

By now, I think you all realize I love summer. I am a Leo and we cats love the sun and heat. I also love summer because I have a glow and need less makeup. Because of the importance of sunscreen, most of my glow is created by self-tanner and the right combination of products. And just in time for summer, Nars has created the perfect set to enable all women to look as though they spent the day at the beach.
Nars “Beach Lover” is a 5 piece travel-size gift set that will give you the perfect island glow. Featuring their most iconic beachy colors, this is a must have for anyone that loves the look of spending the day at the beach without really doing it.

Nars Beach Lover $49 ($74 value) is a limited edition and is exclusive to Sephora

This amazing set contains the following products:

Blush Duo in Hungry Heart (golden ivory) and Orgasm (peach pink with golden tones). This duo compliments each other perfectly. The blushes are translucent, natural, and leave skin with a healthy glow.

Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Skorpios (iridescent copper). This pencil is smooth and creamy and can be worn all over the eye. It is also incredibly long-wearing.

Lip Gloss in Laguna (bronze and limited edition). A very pigment dense gloss that doesn’t dry out your lips, stays put, and makes lips look kissable.

Illuminator in Laguna (brown with golden shimmer). A miracle product, this illuminator gives skin a refreshed luminosity. Worn alone or with other makeup, you will look radiant.

The Gift Of Art

With Christmas only three days away, the scramble is on to find the perfect gift. If you know someone who loves the Twin Cities, consider giving them a piece by Michael Birawer. This local artist (born and raised and resides here) uniquely captures the spirit of urban neighborhoods through out the Minneapolis/ St. Paul area. His style of painting combines the techniques of graffiti, cartoon, illustration, and heavy texture , resulting in amazing renditions of local hotspots. We have two prints in our house and they are always conversation starters. Art is a lasting treasure and is sure to be appreciated by all that receive it.
