Great Gifts: Clinique Happy Heart Collection.

Again this holiday season, Clinique is continuing its partnership with the Happy Hearts Fund, an international charity founded by model Petra Nemcova. This years beautiful “gifts with purpose” are adorable!
 
This is the second partnership for Clinique and the Happy Hearts Fund and this year is even bigger. Clinique is offering a limited edition Happy Heart fragrance ($37.00); a Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins in Happy ($12.50); and a chic, custom T-shirt that boasts the message “Make Someone Happy ($16.00).”  A portion of each product sale will be donated directly to the Happy Hearts Fund to rebuild schools in areas affected by natural disasters.

The limited edition Happy Heart fragrance is a scent that is both bright and floral with hints of sweetness from mandarin orange and cassis mingled with soft floral notes of water lily, rose and geranium. Dry notes of sandalwood, musk and blondewood create a harmonious balance meant to linger and enrich the heart.

A Different Nail Enamel in Happy is a bright red-coral hue named after Clinique's loved fragrance, Happy Heart. It is the perfect color for the holiday season too.

The limited edition Happy Heart fragrance and A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skins in Happy are available at Clinique counters and clinique.com. The “Make Someone Happy” T-shirt is available exclusively at Clinique.com.

Great Gifts: MAC Stroke of Midnight Warm Eye Palette.

The MAC Stroke of Midnight Eye Palette in the warm shades is a pretty universal palette that makes a great gift for any makeup loving gal. I love the sleek packaging of the palette and the fact that there are five shades to blend for a multitude of eye looks as well.

The shades:

• Femme Fi
• Amber Lights
• Socialite
• Mulch
• Midnight Hour

Like all of MAC shadows, the highly pigmented powder formula applies evenly, blends and builds beautifully.

The MAC Stroke of Midnight Warm Eye Palette retails for $39.50 and is available at all MAC locations and maccosmetics.com now.

Great Gifts: Limited Edition Kiehl’s Crème de Corp Whipped Body Butter.

As part of their ongoing philanthropic efforts, this year for the holidays Kiehl’s has launched new, Limited Edition Creme de Corps Whipped Body Butters in exclusive scents -- Coriander and Grapefruit. Not only is it unique due to the fact that it's the first time that Creme de Corps Whipped is scented, but 100% of the profits will be donated to Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. I love giving back during the Holiday season, and Kiehl's efforts to support the cause to help end childhood hunger in America is to be commended!

Creme de Corps Whipped Body Butter is an ultra creamy whipped formula that melts into skin. I like to apply it right after I shower because it melts into my skin when it is still wet. How cute is the label? It was designed by 11-year-old Sofie Shore, the daughter of Share Our Strength co-founder, Debbie Shore.

Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter in Grapefruit is available exclusively at Kiehl’s retail stores and Kiehls.com. Creme de Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter in Coriander is available exclusively through Kiehl’s specialty retail partners, such as Nordstrom. They each sell for $38.00.
