Wander Beauty Christmas Gift Ideas

Have you heard of Wander Beauty? They have been around for about 2-3 years? Not sure exactly, but I been fan for about that long. Their makeup and skin care line is amazing, and I happy to say it keeps growing too! When they first contacted me years ago they didn't have much to offer. Now? I am impressed and happy to see them grow. 

They are sold at Sephora :) at pretty reasonable prices. 

I do actually have a few pieces that I am trying to review for you guys. Trying, coz the end of this year is a madness.  I am so not kidding! Ughhh... 

Anyways below are few last minute Christmas ideas, pulled out from Wander Beauty :)

All mentioned products are available at Sephora as on Wander Beauty website 

FOR THE WANDERESS…

Who She Is: She’s always on-the-go, and you never know where she’ll land next. On Saturday she’s on a safari, and by Tuesday she’s headed to Bali… but that doesn’t mean her skincare routine gets left behind.

FOR THE NEW MOM…

Who She Is: Being a multitasking mom may leave her sleep-deprived, but she shouldn’t have to look like it!

What To Give Her: She’ll want these two must-haves, no matter the season: Fake Awake Essentials Trio and Baggage Claim Eye Masks in Rose Gold will help her fake a full eight hours of sleep, even if she’s had anything but. These two will give her all of the tools she needs brighten, conceal, blend and repeat.

FOR THE SELF-CARE SELFIE QUEEN...

Christmas Gift for Dogs ~ Clothing, toys and accessories feat. Pet Magasin

Christmas gift for your furry baby? Don't worry I got you cover :)  

For some of you who don't know, we have a dog for a quite some while. 

A little Story of our Jingles :) Yes his name is Jingles and he was born on Christmas day :)  We got him Summer 2016. We actually adopt him. The family that he was with could not keep him, so one of my good friend told us about him. To be honest we did want a dog for while. we tried to adopt Shitz Shu before Jingles, but that dog was not a good match for us. So when my friend told us about Jingles I was a little septic. Do we really need a dog?  After talking we decided to give it a try and since I picked up Jingles he stayed with us. He is the most lovable dog! he will lick you to death, he will always stand on his back legs to greet you! He is amazing! When I was sick he would sleep with me all day. talk about the love! 

He is a part of our small family. We do consider him as a son. 

And as a part of our family he will be getting Xmas presents!

Here is few ides on what I will be getting him and what can you get to you puppy. Hahaha Jingles will turn 4 yrs on 25th but I still call him my baby puppy :)

First are sweaters :) I love putting clothing on him. He is tiny and winters in NYC are pretty cold. The best deals on sweaters I found at CVS. They have this Christmas stand with Christmas clothing  and toys for dogs. I bought him one sweater last year and I loved it. It fitted perfectly and it was really adorable. This year I knew I need to get more! Plus they are really affordable! $6.99 a piece! I don't think you get cheaper then that. Even at Marshall's dog sweaters are like $10+.

The first day that I went I found only one sweater in medium size. Ughhh... After talking with CVS workers, they said they will be getting more soon. They gave me a date when the new delivery truck is in town and I made sure to go next day. And Yes I score two more sweaters and PJ, plus 25% off !

 I also decided to pick up a toy that was hanging on the side of the display. It was really cute and I bet Jingles will love it. I will be picking him up more toys form Dollar tree as well :)

Second and third gifts ideas are grooming tools and new leash.
I was so excited to get this set. It was send to me by Pet Magasin and BrandBacker.
I was send 3 brush set, nail clippers and a leash.

Lets talk about the brush set first. So it comes with three brushes: Double Sided Brush, Long tooth Undercoat Rake and De-matting Comb.

The brushes are amazing. They are very well made and look more expensive they they actually are.  The undercoat rake is a life save to any one who have a dog that sheds a lot.  My Jingles sheds a lot. Hi hair is everywhere. Ughh. When i received this set that was the first brush I tried on him and he loved it. And I noticed that after brushing him good with that brush, the shedding stop.  This brush is prefect for all size dogs and furs :)

 The second brush that I pulled and used was the double sided one. I had one from a Dollar Tree before but to be honest this one is so much better. Quality wise  of course :) Again Jingles love this brush. I used it along with the rake one. My daughter actually prefers this one and she loves brushing Jingles hair (Yorkies have a hair right not fur?)  and Jinx he will beg for more! The only brush I did not yet used it the de-matting comb. Hopefully I will soon :)

Now lets talk about something that I was excited, a new leash. When we got Jingles, the previous owners gave us his old leash. We continue use it, but its is old and when I was looking to purchase a new leash I wow they are pricey! Not easy to find good and affordable leash. But don't worry Pet Magasin got you covered! The leash that they send over is now on sale! $11 and amazing!
It is 13 ft retractable tape leash. It gives a dog a freedom  to walk around. It have a comfortable, non-slip rubberized handle. and then it have the button that lets me control the leash length.  This is what sold me on this. On my previous leash I had it too, but I guess it was broken coz I had to hold it. this one with one click, you decided how long you will let you puppy walk.
I like that it is lightweight and my daughter can take Jingles for a walk with no problems. She does love that click button too hahaha!

As for Jingles I dont know if he even care that he got a new leash, he is just happy to be outside hahah :) Also this leash comes with a poop bag holder. Here I am a little on the fence. I like it and I don't. The design is cute, but it take few minutes for me to get the bag out of it. and second it somehow slides off. I dunno why. It looks like it is secured but it slides off for now reason. I think I might put back my old poop bag holder on the new leash. Well see how it goes. Overall I am really pleased with it.

Now the nail clipper. It look awesome, but not for Jingles. I have no idea how to clip dog nails. I get it done at the grooming place. I am simply scared :( what if I cut him or something. Also I see this is fit for a medium to large dogs. My Jingles is small so I don't know It might not be for him. I might give it away as a gift to someone with a bigger dog.

Here are the links where you can find the mentioned products:
Nail Clippers - $7.87
Brush Set ~ $13.88
Leash ~ $10.99

Chloe 

Chloe ~ ever since I saw the gorgeous display at Macy's years ago I was be-spelled. I know  I took a pic but can't find it :( Sorry. Display was simply stunning! crystal and gold and the best part was chandelier form which thousands tiny Chloe perfume bottles were hanging. Can you imagine! Chloe for me is one of the luxurious perfumes. Captured in a gorgeous square bottle with a bow. Just looking at the bottle you say Luxury :) Love the powdery floral scent of perfumes, light, seductive and fresh. The scent wears really well, Last all day and I can still smell it the next :) Chloe might be choice for younger girls but I am sure any Mom would appreciate it, especially when it comes in a gorgeous gift set! 

Beautiful beige tin with golden rims and detailing. On the surface you can see a carousel with Chloe in the center and four mini on the poles :) Beautiful!

FlowerBomb ~ V & R

Another classic! I been wanting them for a quite a while. Flowerbomb is a must have for sure and it makes a perfect gift for any occasion. Just like the name suggest its a explosion of flowers :) Feminine and classy. I was hooked form the first spray. It opens by strong but refreshing notes of tea and bergamot.  then its time for more flower notes of Jasmine, Freesia and Orchid. The dry down is musky patchouli and ambery-vanilla trace, oriental scent. 

The bottle was design to look like an actual bomb :) a diamond grenade. I really like the look of the bottle. And the box it came with, Pink with back ribbons and flower :) Looks beautiful!

This will make another great gift for Mom. 

Notes:

Top: Bergamot, tea

Heart: Jasmine, Freesia, Orchid

Base: Patchouli Centiflora Rose
