Iconic Salvatore Ferragamo fragrances are offering a Limited Edition Holiday Collection

About the Amo Ferragamo Fragrance:

Amo Ferragamo, for a passionate and optimistic young woman. The opening of the fragrance marries Blackcurrant and Rosemary with unusual Italian Bitter accords. An unexpected prelude to an equally surprising “heart”. The heart notes combine floral accents of Jasmine Sambac with the transparency of Mate Absolute and intense, tangy Rhubarb. Finally, base notes of sweet Tahitian Vanilla and creamy Sandalwood complete this fun and adventurous Eau de Parfum.

Holiday Shopping Gift Guide 2013: Fabulous Gifts from LUSH!!!

 Affiliate Link Press Sample

My Holiday Shopping 2013 Gift Guide continues! This time I am going to share with you some of my favorite items from LUSH's Holiday 2013 lineup!!! 

As ya'll know, I love me some LUSH! ;) Not only are these items great for the bath-lovers in your life, but also they are just all-around cute gifts! I know that if you walked into a LUSH store you would not be able to resist these cute bath and gift items! More than anything, LUSH products are a completely sensory experience. The intoxicating scents...the vivid colors...you will be absolutely enveloped in these bath products!

LUSH: Great Gifts!!!
There are many ways that you could either combine the LUSH seasonal products for gifts or give them individually. LUSH is unique: they do not package most of their products. The bath bombs, soaps, bubble bars, etc are stacked out on display in their stores. The actual products are so decorative and cute...you wouldn't want to package them! For gifting, I would recommend getting plain clear cellophane bags. That way you can see the product in all of its festive glory. Just add a bow and a gift tag! Give them individually when you need that perfect "under $10/$15" type gift. Or combine a few for a bigger gift.

From the Holiday 2013 LUSH Collection, I have tried and will share my thoughts on the following products: Cinders Bath Bomb, Father Christmas Bath Bomb, Star Light Star Bright Bath Melt, Magic Wand Bubble Bar, Santa Baby Lip Tint, Santa's Lip Scrub, Snow Fairy Shower Gel, Rose Jam Shower Gel and Snow Globe Soap.
