If the eyes are windows to the soul, then you will definitely find your soul mate with The Sparkle Eye Liner Kit from Girlactik Beauty (available at www.girlactik.com) and Xtended Beauty faux eyelashes (www.xtendedbeauty.com). Celebrity makeup artist and Girlactik Beauty founder, Galit Strugano, has created a two-step eyeliner and sparkle combo. After years of dealing with messy glitter and over-the-top shimmer, Strugano reinvented the concept of glitter and it is perfect for any woman.  The kit consists of two base color options, Light Star Base and Dark Star Base, which are intended to hold the sparkles in place and make the sparkle color pop. With holiday eyes all about glitter and shine, Xtended Beauty strip lashes feature a hint of sparkle to put the finishing touch on any holiday ensemble. Tinsel Town adds a twinkle to your eye with glimmering crystals, while Poison gives edginess and mystery to your peepers with a dense crisscross lash pattern. Xtended Beauty lashes are available at beauty apothecaries, salons and spas throughout the U.S and online at www.xtendedbeauty.com. 

Celebrity makeup artist and creator of Vanitymark Cosmetics, Brett Freedman, says a kissable pout under the mistletoe is key during the holidays. Vanitymark’s Dr. KISS is a lip balm that hydrates and naturally tints lips depending on your mood – the lip balm contains a hint of the ingredient that makes mood rings change colors. Dr. KISS is jam-packed with antioxidants and moisturizing properties including Kukui Nut Oil and Vitamins A, C and E and is flavored with sweet vanilla and peppermint – perfect for the holiday season.  Dr. KISS is great when worn alone, layering under lipstick to prep lips or on top for extra sheen. Dr. KISS is available at KITSON in Los Angeles and online at www.vanitymark.com.

Be Spoiled:

Diptyque launches a new range of solid perfumes using a traditional handcrafted method to create an aromatic paste as the base of the scents. Lingering like a fragrant second skin, Diptyque’s solid perfume lightly releases a trail of scent throughout the day. The case is the ideal size to slip into a purse and epitomizes the phrase “never leave home without it.” Diptyque solid perfumes are available in two fragrances: Philosykoss features the entirety of a fig tree contained in a bottle, from the roots to the milky sap of the fruit to the bark, but, above all, the freshness of the leaves in their different phases of development. The white cedar, which adds to the potency and aroma, gives it even sunnier depths; L’Ombre dans is reminiscent of the fruit in an English garden with black currant foliage sap fused with Bergamot and mandarin, fresh, crisp Damask roses and ambergris and musk, which round out the floral bouquet with a delicate persistence.

Give your home the scent of luxury with acclaimed interior designer Sandra Espinet’s exclusive scented candle.

Stylishly packaged in a white box with a gold filigree design and a white ribbon, the candle is the perfect hostess gift or, for yourself. Available at www.sandraespinet.com, each candle is made with long burning wax and wick for hours of indulging.
