Below are 5 great gifts for this holiday under $150 that your mom, sister or bestie could enjoy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Joy & IMAN 4-piece Iconic Quilted Patent Luggage Set with Handbag

Flex Pay $57.49

A few days I purchased this luggage set at a special value set of $129 or 4 flex pay for $29.99, well the price did go up. I decided to still added it because of the flex pay deal. This is a great option just like a layaway plan. The set comes in a variety of shades you can keep it classic or add some pop for your travel needs. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pave Petal Drops $68

 

This is a gorgeous gift for someone who loves to dazzle and wears glamorous things, it's also a perfect addition for a bride to be to add to her wedding party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Viktor & Rolf

 Flowerbomb Holiday Set $145

This holiday set is a wonderful splurge which smells fresh, feminine and most importantly very light on the skin. I love the fact that it also comes with a roller ball because you can always have it in a tote bag for easy applications.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

French Connection

      Buckle Up Crocodile-Embossed Tote Bag $98

I love the detailing of this tote bag, it works well to be chic, classical or transitional. Any one can work this in their wardrobe and it will always remain stylish.

 

 

 

                                             

  Ciaté Mini Mani Month Set $58

Nails galour for the nailista for this holiday season! You get neutral shades for you safe looks and dazzlers for your party themes. You can also add the sparkle colors on the solid polishes to give your nails more of a impact. This price is good especially for someone who loves to paint.

Fragrances: Scents To Lure Him

 

Not only is Valentine’s Day the perfect occasion for you to have a sexy style, your hair looking amazing and a beauty look that’s flawless. But your lingering scent is the most important attraction of the night to keep your beau embraced in you. Below are a few scents that give elements of flirty, sophistication, sultry and truly feminine.

 J'adore Eau de Parfum $90

This scent is gorgeous especially for a special evening, its very long lasting and you may just be tempting to rock this scent daily.

 

 Love Spell Body Butter $12

This body butter is great to indulge your skin in after your shower or bath, work this on your legs, the neckline and your arms. Great budget smell that really makes a statement.

 

 Oh, Lola! $22

I love rollerballs because their so easy to apply on the go especially when it’s a scent you love. This is so easy to dab as you do your sexy walk to the bathroom or when he’s offering a quick kiss goodnight. It’s a flirty fun scent and great for all women.

 Charlie White Eau De Toilette Spray  $13.69

This is a old scent but it’s a must have for a quick buy. You can get this at your local drugstore in so many small sizes for under $10. Spritz the aroma on your brush or comb, on the wrist and above the knee if rocking a short dress or mini skirt ; )

 Chanel No. 5 Bath Gel $50

This is my all time favorite scent, thanks to my mom. If you can’t afford the full fragrance the bath gel is at least one part of the collection that can do the trick. Use your normal favorite wash but apply this last and let it settle in for a full 5 minutes. Afterwards let the water clear the gel off and towel dab your skin. This will keep that sultry scent embedded and nourished in your skin.

 

 Prada Candy $62

This scent is perfect for a date night its very sultry and alive. Expect to rock a tote bag to keep this bottle on hand, the scent doesn’t last long but it does give that attraction so do refresh.

Review + Giveaway: Demeter Fragrance Library

  Demeter Fragrance Library is a new brand that I just found out about and I am glad I did. The concept behind it is very unique, interesting and yet so simple, with over 250 fragrances ranging from Lilac, Birthday Cake, Peony, Sweet Pea and a few that may seem a bit out the ordinary like Dirt, Martini, Snow and Thunderstorm if you heart to be daring. The point of the matter is they have a scent for everyone and anything you can imagine and that’s what makes them a brand that’s standing out from the crowd! Check out my review on a few of their simple scents Daisy and a exclusive giveaway on their new scent Clear Skin.

Inside The Scents

 Tom Ford

Neroli Portofino: The scent is unisex so it can be a great Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift. The packaging is a gorgeous aqua blue that’s very striking on the eyes. The aroma is much stronger sense it caters to a man as well so don’t expect it to be too feminine. The keynotes in the fragrances are citrus, white floral, fresh spicy, soapy and amber. Neiman Marcus has the fragrance exclusively and the price ranges depending on the sizes starts at $195+

Valentino

Valentina: This scent smells so gorgeous it’s so worth buying for Mother’s Day or even yourself. The look of the bottle is stunning and makes a perfect statement on your vanity ladies. The keynotes are white floral, animalic, fruity, sweet, woody and earthy. The price range is $80-$108 but if you buy a gift set you will get more for your money.

Sammi Dangerous Fragrance

 

Even though the fragrance isn’t your high end brand it’s very affordable. The scent is light and sheer and will need to be reapplied throughout the day for it to linger a bit. This is a great gift for those first time perfume buyers or if you’re looking for a gift for your college BFF’s. It’s still very stylish and won’t break your fabulous clutches.

So we fell in love with the Pretty fragrance before but now its a bit edgier with a mix of red currant, red peony and Belle de Nuit giving it a scent of floral and amber. This limited edition is available now and could be a great scent for your Valentine’s Day.
