Yes, I will have to admit, times are weird and challenging. We are settling into a different normal now and it sure does take some getting used to. But lockdown or no lockdown, there’s one thing that stays the same: the joy of getting all gifts together in one place for our friends and loved ones to receive in good time. Are you ready for some cute sparkly goodies?

Here is a breakdown of my top picks for Christmas-y gifts from the magical beauty and wellness realm.

Jane Iredale Lip Poppers

Will make for the best Christmas gift and will surely add glow and radiance to any look. The PlayOn Lip Pencils in Shimmer Popper come in the most flattering nude and classic red – the application is super soft and creamy thanks to Castor Seed Oil and nourishing Vitamin E. The Jumbo pencil sharpener comes as a bonus to keep your pencils nice and sharp.

Night Flow by Jusbox

Unisex oriental-fruity perfume is always a great choice for creating a luxurious body, mind and soul experience for you or a very lucky recipient of your gift.

Night Flow is a fascinating mix between Music and Perfume merging into one: the fragrance DNA has a sensual and mysterious touch with top notes like Saffron, Raspberry, Pink Pepper, Osmanthus, Indonesian Patchouli and leather accords.

Jusbox Perfumes decode the language of music through scent. In this particular case, Night Flow is a unisex fragrance paying homage to the rap battles of New York in the 1970s leaving a very lasting impression overall.
