This fun Eye color and lip balm set from Paul & Joe ($30—reduced from $60!) is just precious! These colors would suit anyone—a sheer pink balm and eye shadows ranging from a pale cream to a smokey soot, she can wear this every day and glam it up just enough for night. When she’s done, she can save the cute tins as keep-sake boxes.

These cute gifts pair an eye gloss with a powder eyeshadow and loose sparkle in varying shades. Sparkle can be pressed over the eye gloss on the lid for extra fun or used to adorn nails for a fun snow-y mani!

Jouer “puttin on the glitz” ($25) is a MAJOR steal! This cute little speckled leather pouch comes loaded with three lipgloss minis in shades that will flatter anyone. She can keep them all to herself, or share with her besties! The pouch is the perfect size for stashing extra gum, hair ties, and bobby pins in her backpack.

Jouer “Party Perfect” Leopard bag ($48) This larger bag is roomier and can fit a larger makeup collection.  Comes already loaded with a nude lipstick, brown liquid liner and black mascara. She’ll look totally chic but still age-appropriate.

jouer holiday bag

Jouer “Paint it red” leather pouch ($75) a large, luxe red leather bag perfect for all of her beauty essentials—only if she’s been a really good girl!

jouer paint the town red bag

Our teens always dive head over heels for girlactik’s loose sparkle eyeliner! Pick a color of sparkles (our favorites are multi-jewels, antique gold, or champagne—but girls also like picking their school color!) plus an angle brush to apply it with and a pearl cream and to make it all stick and she’s ready to go!

Last, but not least—teens will love these adorable bkr water bottles. $38 for hearts, $30 for plain. She can carry it with her in school so she’s always hydrated in class, at gym, or for her extracurricular activities. Plus she’ll be way cuter than her plastic-water-bottle-toting comrades.

The men in your life can be difficult to shop for—practically anything they want–they buy for themselves or it costs an arm and a leg! Here are some things they never knew they always needed.

the MAN gift guide 2013

If you let us know you are purchasing a gift–we would be happy to gift wrap the item for you or put it in a gift bag with ribbon, complimentary!

Stay tuned for the teens & tweens gift guide next!…

a.) Bkr in “kvetch” ($30). Men also might like the colors: “kitsch”, “smith”, “trench”, “bitten”, or “true”. Dishwasher safe, BPA-free….will fit in the cupholder of his car. Can easily be held in one hand through the loop in the top of the lid with room to hold his keys and his cell phone too.

b.) Petite Clarity Truffle Pouch in nude/gray ($32). Men also might like the colors “french gray”, “felted gray”, “oxblood red”, “cream” and “truffle red”. These pouches are wonderful for their gym bag, brief-case or suitcase. My husband travels frequently and I gave him one of these to replace the dingy quart-size bag he used for his liquids over and over again. It easily wipes clean if something spills inside, and it IS TSA-approved.

c.) Black Clarisonic Aria PRO ($199). This awesome device is the smart-phone of skin-care! Sonic cleansing will clean his skin 10x better than manual washing alone. It’s slim, sleek design will appeal to his senses, and he’ll love the charger that has a USB connection or outlet connection so it can charge from a computer or a wall outlet! It comes with a brush head (recommended to replace every 3 months), a trial sized cleanser, 3-speeds and the PRO that we sell here has a 3 YEAR warranty (the regular only has a 2 year warranty). Wondering if he’ll actually use it? Most guys are pretty into gadgets—using this might be the ONLY way you’ll ever get him to clean his face at all!  Note– if he has BACNE you may want to splurge and get him the Face/Body Pro for $225…It comes with a brush meant for the body, an extra speed, AND a nifty handle the clarisonic can pop into that will reach areas on his back

d.) Natura Bisse AHA Cleansing Gel ($49). The basic white design of the bottle is nice for men and women alike. A carefully selected blend of Alpha Hydroxy Acids will help exfoliate his skin so other products–like after shave and moisturizers can penetrate better, and he can get a closer shave. Great for men with oilier skin. For men with drier skin he might like the AHA Cleansing Cream or Tolerance Cleanser from Natura Bisse.

e.) Natura Bisse Stabilizing Toner ($40). Fabulous to use after shaving to calm the skin and restore it’s pH. Can be spritzed directly onto the face. Once again the packaging is simple and male-friendly. Wonderful for oilier skins. For men with drier skin, the tolerance toner would be a fabulous alternative.

f.) Marvis cinnamon-mint travel-size toothpaste ($6). It’s practically scientific fact that men like the taste of cinnamon! Marvis toothpaste is awesome—it leaves teeth feeling dental clean for hours on end and is available in this and other quirky flavors like licorice, strong mint, ginger mint, and jasmine mint (surprisingly–jasmine mint is my hubs favorite…he keeps a travel size permanently stashed in his truffle bag for travel). Also available in a full size for $12.

g.) Slim Sonic toothbrush in silver ($16). He may also like this in blue or black. These toothbrushes are wonderful for at home OR travel. The vented cap protects bristles while still allowing moisture to escape so it doesn’t start to get mildew-y inside. Comes with a battery and an extra brush head.

The Sporty Girl can sometimes be difficult to shop for…she doesn’t go for the usual girly stand-bys of candles and jewelry. Wow her with these cute functional items that are easy to take with her on the go and help keep her feeling fresh even when she’s working up a major sweat!

The Sporty Girl Gift Guide 2013a.) Natura Bisse C+C Splash ($55). A fabulous mood-boosting mist to help invigorate, deodorize, and refresh. Rich in vitamin C and collagen amino acids–this baby is powerful for replenishing moisture in the skin while leaving a light scent behind.

b.) Natura Bisse C+C Body Cream ($99). In a great air-less pump so you get every last little bit of cream from the container. The same fresh scent from the splash–as if you were in an orange grove! Highly emollient cream helps boost firmness and moisture.

c.) Petite Clarity Truffle ($32). (Pictured in “felted gray”) This pouch can keep all her essentials (sunscreen, hair ties, lip balm, keys, etc) close at hand and easily visible in her gym bag. Also available in other colors! These are also TSA-approved and are FABULOUS for travel.

d.) Bkr water bottle ($30). (Pictured in “bitten” but available in other colors). An athlete MUST stay hydrated. This color will be a fave of Aggie fans. We like filling it an inch or so full of water and freezing overnight–then top it off with fresh water in the morning for cold water all day long. Totally dish-washer safe and BPA-free. Unique loop on cap makes it easy to hold while running/jogging or also holding your car keys or cell phone.

e.) Diego Dalla Palma Semipermanente Mascara ($36). This waterproof mascara is tops. It’s what she needs if she’s going to make it out of the gym without smears or raccoon-eyes. This not only stays on–it helps lashes appear longer and fuller. A must-have for any woman with eyes that easily water and athletes alike.

f.) Jouer Lip Sheer in “Antigua” ($22). This product is available in a variety of sheer colors. We love this one in particular because it gives a hint of shimmery pinky-nude but it’s not enough to look over-the-top in her workout gear. This fabulous formula has a hydrating lip treatment AND an SPF built right in. Wonderful to protect her pout during outdoor workouts or a day at the beach.

g.) Clarisonic PEDI ($199). Athletes are HARD on their feet. Help her re-store them with this fabulous set. Comes with the Clarisonic machine specially designed for the feet (it has a stronger motor than the one for face/body), two brush heads–one has a stainless steel buffer to work down stubborn calluses, and the other has a stiff bristled brush. Also has a full-size foot scrub, a leave-on salicylic acid peel that further helps smooth rough areas, and a super rich hydrating foot cream.

If you let us know you are purchasing a gift–we would be happy to gift wrap the item for you or put it in a gift bag with ribbon, complimentary!
