On the (3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th) 8th Day of Beauty Buzz. . .



$19.00



On the 3rd day. . .The Body Shop's Mango Body Butter smells like summer and hydrates like nobody's business! It is one of my favorite scents and I think you'll love it. Visit http://www.thebodyshop-usa.com/body-products/body-butter.aspx?cm_re=Tyra_HolidayPh12012-_-Navigation-_-Body-Body_Butter to see what other scents are available.

On the 4th day. . .Sephora's eyelash curlers just got a festive update! I use and love my Sephora eyelash curler but it's not in a beautiful jewel toned color! I love purple but would be the happy recipient of any of these gorgeous gems. Visit www.sephora.com



$16.00



This is the color I want!

















On the 5th day. . .Anthropologie. . . . . words cannot begin to express my love for all the treasures one can find in this store. I always find something beautiful that I want (don't need, but want so badly!) at Anthropologie and these soaps are no different. They have about 6 different scents to choose from but the Mistral Grapefruit Red Currant was my favorite. Fresh and zingy! Visit www.anthropologie.com



$8.00



On the 6th day. . .Now we are entering dangerous territory. I love makeup bags. I would buy more makeup bags than purses/ handbags if I could easily put them on display.

 These cute little ones from J. Crew offer such classic sophistication and fun! Visit www.jcrew.com



Each $25.00



On the 7th day. . .

Originally $24.95, currently on sale for $16.99

Next up is this plaid makeup bag from Gap. In the past couple years I've purchased more button down plaid shirts than I care to admit. They're comfy and easy to dress up or dress down and why not dump all that desire from shirts into bags?! I know I love this one! Two zipper pockets and a melon/pink lining inside. Love that! Visit www.gap.com

On the 8th day. . . EOS lip balm (Evolution of Smooth) gives lips a coat of luxurious moisture during these dry winter months. I've had the lemon one (can't find it anywhere lately!) and it smells like lemonade. I suppose I really do enjoy summer scents in the winter. Really I enjoy summer scents anytime!

12 Days of Buzzing Beauty Gifts! Day 1

I can't begin to tell you how much I love the energy at the stores during Christmas time. I don't mean the mean people who drive like maniacs in the parking lot, or the people who bump into you as you're walking from store to store.

I love the twinkling lights, the ringing of bells outside the entrances for Salvation Army donations, Santa everywhere. . . it's magical! Don't get me wrong, I understand the true meaning of Christmas, but I also thoroughly enjoy the commercial aspects of it.

In my family we hang stockings but we don't fill them. I think we did a few times growing up, but for the most part my grandfather handles the stocking stuffers for EVERYONE in our family. (I know, he's a rockstar. . . gotta love him!) They are extra-large gift bags filled with all kinds of necessities like flashlights, perfume, de-icer (for car windows in the winter), pocket size tissue packs and much more.

With that being said, I've never received the kind of beauty busting extravaganza stocking I've always secretly dreamed of. Over the next 12 days I will post a new idea for the perfect stocking stuffer or gift (your choice) for the beauty lover on your shopping list.

My nieces aren't old enough yet to receive such a gem, but if they were, this is what I would put inside.

"On the first day of shopping The Buzz gave to me. . ."

The OPI "stuff my stocking" nail polish set from ULTA!

This set provides three colors and a rapid dry top coat. It's a beautiful set, perfect for OPI nail polish lovers as well as those new to OPI.

I love OPI nail polish. They offer a wide range of gorgeous colors and the polish lasts.

That's The Buzz! Come back tomorrow for Day 2 of buzzing beauty gifts!
