Gift Guide: For Him

I got to thinking recently(I do that sometimes) that most if not all or you lovely people are female, and probably have a variety of different guys in you life. Whether it be brothers, fathers, cousins, husbands, or that guy at work you are assigned to get a gift for, we all have them, and their not always easy to shop for, which I found out for sure after taking a poll (100% said I was right)
So I decided to put together a little list of things, that I don't think most guys have but would probably all like.

 Qshell Bluetooth Beanie $34.99

This is such a good idea! I think this would be great for the brothers in your life. It leaves your hands free, and there is no wire to mess with.

Sappywoon Spy Camera Eyeglasses $62.99

This is a video camera that looks like regular eyeglasses! How much more fun could they be? These are very impractical but very fun, definitely a step up from those mirrored spy glassed we used to have.

RAK Magnetic Wristband $19.99

This would be perfect for the handy man, or really any man who doesn't like losing things. I can think of many times this would have been aprecated in our household,

Joosr Subscription $24.78

This subscription is really, really cool! I mean who wouldn't want the gift of never ending books?  Joosr caters to the busy and those who love to read but don't have the time, by giving them well written easy to read summaries of the best non-fiction books. Each book takes about  twenty minutes to read, so none of that lugging a book around for weeks.

Joosr is also offering a free yearly subscription with every gift purchase, so you can get an amazing gift while giving one.

INSIDEgift Ipad Case $130+

This is bit higher priced, but really! How gorgeous is this handmade leather IPad folio? INSIDEgift is a beautiful Esty shop, they have lots of beautiful stuff, so I would highly recommend checking them out.

Yurbuds Ironman Series Earbuds $24.95

I have a pair of these ear buds, and they are AMAZING! They never fall out, and they're super comfortable. Everybody needs good ear buds, its a fact of life.

There are just a few ideas, the possibilities are endless.
When it comes to buying gifts I just have to wait for inspiration to hit, and if it never hits then there are always Amazon gift cards.

Who is the hardest person in your life to find a gift for?
Would you buy any of these items for a gift?

Too Faced Grande Hotel Cafe Review

 Okay, so as you probably already know if you've visited my blog before, I am a sucker for cute packaging, and this set definitely has that. I normally don't get swept up in the hype when new products come out, but after reading several review and seeing pictures of this set I know I had to have it. Thankful I had a birthday and a pair of very generous parents.(Thanks guy!)

 Lets start with the packaging, it is without a doubt the most adorable makeup set I have ever seen. The outside of the box is made to look like (guess what?) a hotel! What a surprise! It is a very detailed box with snow on the roof, and little windows, as a decorated Christmas tree on the back.
Once you open the box you see a cute little café  scene with a menu and a coffee maker. Under the two Christmas trees there are a number of other Too Faced products, like the Chocolate Bar palette, some blushes, and a Melted lippy.

Each palette is supposed to be scented and they are, but to be honest I can't tell the difference in the scents. The palettes each come in their own little booklet decorated according to its name and scent. Each one contains six eyeshadows and one face powder.

 Lets take it one palette a time, starting with Peppermint Mocha.

Peppermint Cream

This is a pure white shade, perfect as a base color.

Candy Cane

I guess you could use this one as a base as well, but I personally wouldn't. This is a soft baby pink shade.

Christmas Blend

This one is my favorite in this palette. It is a light shimmery pink gold shade.

Sprinkles

I have been using this as a crease shade when I do a pink eye look. Its a beautiful purpley pinks, shimmery shadow.

Peppermint Mocha

This is getting a bit darker than I would normally use on the lid, so I use it as a liner, or very lightly in the crease. This is a light brown shadow with a hint of pink sparkle.

Coffee Chip

I haven't use this one much, maybe a little on the lash line. It is a dark brown, with a tiny bit of pink shimmer.

Santa Baby

This is the blush in the palette. It is a bright coraly pink blush.

I love the colors in this one, all except for the green one, I really don't see how it fits in with the rest on the shades. It goes cream, gold, light brown, matte brown, dark brown, green, and I'm just like "where did that come from"

Frosty Nog

This is a matte creamy white shade great for a base.

Eggnog Latte

I love this one, its a lot like Christmas Blend, a light cream colored shimmery shadow.

Skinny Latte

This is the second matte shadow and its a basic light brown shade.

Cold Brew

This shadow is a light metallic brown.

Iced Coffee

This is a very deep chocolate color with lots of shimmer, and I mean LOTS OF SHIMMER.

Central Perk

I never wear green. I tried this once just to make, but green is not my color. This is a really dark metallic green shadow.

Peach Cobbler

I love the blush so much! Its a light, soft coral.

This one is my favorite, the colors are just so perfect.

Ginger Cream

This is a gorgeous creamy off white shade, again a perfect base or transition shadow.

Winter Dream

oh my goodness this one is beautiful! So pigmented, and so sparkly. This is a light muted purple, I have is swatched on my hand right now and I can't take my eyes off it.

Maple Syrup

Matte and brown, that's about all that I can say about this one. Very good for in the crease, but nothing special.

Cup of Joe

This shade is a very very dark brown(I'm not sure is not black), and has a touch of gold shimmer.

Gingersnap

This is SO pigmented, and so beautiful! I love the shimmery gold shadows around the Holidays, I am sure I will be wearing this one a lot.

Black Coffee

Very matte and very black, I haven't used this one much at all, and only as a liner.

Gingerbread

Love love love this bronzer! Its very much like the Chocolate Soleil bronzer I have. I use it as a bronzer and as a light contour shade.

So over all I am completely in love with this set, and think is was well worth the money. If you get the chance I would highly recommend getting it, and I don't think you will be disappointed.

Have you tried this set?
What were your thoughts?
Have a wonderful weekend.
