C.O. Bigelow products are a nice treat for anyone on your list! They have products for guys and gals. The Mentha Lip Tint is one of my favorites for the ladies - you get a hint of color with a nice peppermint rush - perfect for Winter chapped lips. I also like that it covers up and heals any flaky, dead skin you have going on - instead of highlighting it like a lot of other lip colors.

These are a great deal at Bath & Body Works - just $7.50 each and right now they are buy two, get one free!

Snow Fairy body wash by LUSH is a sweetly-scented, luxurious bath treat that smells like cotton candy or meringue or something lovely that I can't quite place. The gel is mixed in with iridescent glitter for extra fun!

According to LUSH, Mark and Mo's daughter Claire asked for a sweet, shimmery gel when she was 15, so Mark came up with this fragrance. They imagined it would be popular with girls, but never believed it would be so popular with grown men too! (It contains musk, but don't worry - it's synthetic!)

$9.95 for a small 3.3 oz size, $16.95 for 8.4 oz and $24.95 for 16.9 oz.

Now that I am getting laser hair removal, I'm noticing a build-up of dead skin that used to be removed by daily shaving! Le Edge is the answer to that problem. It's basically a handle with a metal strip (not a blade) that you move over your skin to remove dirt, dead skin, oils, self-tanner/spray tan, etc.

I actually prefer it for my face. I use it on the sides of my nose to clear out dead skin and blackheads. Be sure to use with warm water and let your skin soak for a bit before using. $34.95 each - comes in pink or blue.

Why not buy a gift that helps animals in need?

Earthly Body 3 in 1 Massage Candles ($15.99 each) make perfect gifts for your man. A gift that keeps on giving if you actually follow through and give him a massage! The candles are vegan and made with 8 natural oils including hemp seed, avocado, apricot, Vitamin E, and jojoba.

It comes in sexy scents like "Naked in the Woods", "Squeezed" and "Moroccan Nights." I really like "Skinny Dip" (vanilla/cotton candy scent). At first sniff, I wasn't completely sold, but I coerced my man into "reviewing" it with me (i.e. giving me a massage). After a lovely massage, I forgot to blow the candle out. I left the room and when I came back in, I was like - WOW  - it smells great in here! I am a convert.

They also come in heart-shaped tins (same price)! Super cute gift!

The Wrap Him Up! set from Votre Vu includes Formule 1, Beau Baume, and Habitude. I enjoyed using and applying all the products and was rewarded by fresh, clean, and soft skin with no irritation. Each product has a pleasant, just-strong-enough scent with subtle citrus notes. The girlfriend even took notice, so therefore it passed the all-important test with flying colors! An added bonus is that each product is 3 ounces or less, perfect for carry-ons for air travel. For a man on the run or who prefers fewer products this is a exquisite set with the Beau Baume as the stand-out gem product.

Guest MAN REVIEW by Tim McGuire.

Oh Tokyo Milk - how I love thee! This is a candle even a man can love.

This holiday season, give your man a present that you'll also love - a sexy scent. I’m so in love with Kyoku for Men Earth body lotion. I got a sample of this body lotion and immediately went nuts. This stuff smells like a sexy man! Read my full review here.

Allow a smoky infusion of Japanese Hinoki Wood to transport you into a centred, grounded, and calming state. The E.A.R.T.H. range of products fuses together Indonesian Heartwood and quartz crystal to provide anti-inflammatory effects and promote skin firmness.

BeautyBloggers.org is such a great idea. It's a charitable auction started by Karla Sugar (the best beauty swatcher I know). Bloggers auction off beauty items and the proceeds go to charity (in this case - Doctors Without Borders). Not all of the items are cruelty-free, but if you have any questions, just ask me.

One of the donated items is a tour of Lucky Magazine headquarters in NYC and lunch with a beauty editor! How cool is that? If I was anywhere near NY, I'd totally bid on it. There's also a Clarisonic and a HUGE box of Urban Decay products. There are lots of limited edition and hard to find items here, so bid away!
