Black Friday Beauty Shopping

220_fotolia_4813308_s Looking for some beauty gifts while out and about on Friday after Thanksgiving?  Here are a few ideas:

* Walgreens has a great selection of affordable beauty and fragrance kits in the beauty department. For example, I spotted a Jane Cosmetics mineral makeup kit that looked great and was very affordable.

* Target also carries many home spa and beauty kits. Pick up a bath and body kit and pair it with a fluffy robe for a great holiday gift!

* At the mall, don’t overlook Sephora, the MAC Cosmetics Store and the cosmetic counters in the department stores for holiday specials.

* Need stocking stuffers?  Look for nail polish, lip balm, mini perfume bottles (target sells a bunch of those in popular fragrances), and various sample size items. Many companies sell trial size kits that can be broken up into a couple of different stockings (great for the Mom and teenage daughters in your life).

Happy shopping!

Burt’s Bees 100% Natural Mini Lip Gloss Collection

Burt’s Bees sent me their Mini Lip Gloss Kit to try. These 100% Natural glosses are quite nice. The kit includes 4 shades of Burt’s Bees super shiny Lip Gloss, pictured below. From left to right: Zesty Red, Pucker Berry, Sweet Pink, and Nectar Nude.

Burt's Bees Super Shiny Lip
The gloss is pretty well tinted and, although it looks a bit thick, it doesn’t feel that way. There is no stickiness whatsoever, and the glosses feel moisturizing and conditioning. There is a slight flavor to them that I can’t quite pin-point. It isn’t particularly strong and is not unpleasant. So those in the anti-flavor camp likely won’t mind this one much.

Look for Burt’s bees in drugstores, big box retailers, and stores such as ULTA Beauty.
