Moving to a new house, apartment, or on your own for the first time is both a stressful and exciting time. Especially during the holiday season. Thinking about moving during this time of the year inspired me to create a list of five gift ideas for new house owners or if someone you know moved out on their own earlier this year. The gifts in this post are meant as Christmas gifts, but they could be used for house warming gifts if you know someone moved during the holiday season.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

As we inch our way closer to Christmas, I wanted to write a few more posts dedicated to gift ideas. I really enjoy writing these posts, so it is an easy way for me to create content during Blogmas.

For this post, I wanted to dedicate it to sewers. I am a sewer myself so I understand how hard it can be to find the right sewing oriented gift.

While working on this post, I realized I had so many ideas for gifts that I decided to split the ideas into two different posts. Look for part 2 coming soon!

And with that out of the way, here are the gift ideas for sewers!

5 Fashion Coffee Table Books to Give as Gifts this Holiday Season

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s the time of the year when giving gifts are normal. This year, gift giving is more special due to the 2020 pandemic and the social distancing measures to limit the spread of it. Many people will be able to travel more freely than they have in two years, so this holiday season will be the most closet to what was normal in 2019.

Every year, I always love to buy myself a fashion coffee table book. Even though I could ask family and friends to give them to me, they are usually expensive and are hard to find on sale. Also, sometimes the books I think I love I actually hate. In a few cases, I hate them a lot. Because of this, I like to purchase these books for myself to avoid any problems or hurt feelings.

Over the years, I assembled a collection of fashion coffee table books. Some of the books I own are more universally appealing than others and a great gift for fashion lovers. Inspired by this, I decided to write a post about five fashion coffee table books that would make great gifts this season. For this post, I will limit myself to talking about five book only. All the books will be fashion focused, but some by cover a specific designer or fashion house while others will be about a specific person that is known as a fashion icon.

Clinique Holiday 2022 Gift Sets at Ulta Beauty Part 2

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

In a previous post, I talked about the Clinique gift sets for 2022. I found the gift sets on an end cap at my closest Ulta Beauty. A few weeks after seeing the gift sets, I returned to Ulta Beauty to shop and browse. After looking around the store, I found another section of the store with more Clinique gift sets. I recognized gift sets I already saw on the end cap, but I also saw gift sets I didn’t. No matter if they were old or new, I was very excited to see the gift sets.

I Heart Revolution x Elf Makeup Collection at Ulta Beauty

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

During a recent shopping trip to Ulta Beauty, I saw the I Heart Revolution x Elf makeup collection display. I knew there was a collaboration between I Heart Revolution and the beloved Christmas movie Elf, but I didn’t think there would be enough items from the collection available in store to look at. Even though the store was busy that day, I was able to take some photographs of the collection for a blog post. Continue reading “I Heart Revolution x Elf Makeup Collection at Ulta Beauty” →

Too Faced 2021 Holiday Collection at Ulta Beauty

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

After two posts dedicated to two gift sets, I decided to dedicate this post to the rest of the Too Faced holiday collection photographs and products I saw at Ulta Beauty. This year’s holiday collection had many products that are holiday themed, but did not necessarily fit in with the Christmas in the City theme Too Faced used for their holiday packaging. This is why, unlike my previous posts about the collection, most of the products with have a holiday theme, but will not have a lot of the Christmas in the City art on the packaging. On the other hand, the displays themselves will have the Christmas in the City art and theme. Continue reading “Too Faced 2021 Holiday Collection at Ulta Beauty” →

Too Faced Christmas in London Gift Set for Holidays 2021

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s been a few weeks since Too Faced released their limited edition Christmas gift sets and Christmas packaging, but I didn’t have a chance to see them until recently. I wanted to make an effort to see the sets in person at Ulta Beauty because there is an exclusive gift set sold (at that time) only at Ulta Beauty. Fortunately, there were a few left at the Ulta Beauty closest to where I live. I was able to take some photographs of the pallet on display as well as the display for it at the store.

When I took these photographs, Ulta Beauty was the exclusive seller of the gift set. Since then, Too Faced added the set to the Christmas shop section of it’s website.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s the time of the year when beauty and make up brands release their holiday collections. One of brands with the most interesting and enjoyable packaging is Too Faced. I always love looking at their holiday themed packaging and really love the art featured on the packaging.

This year, Too Faced’s theme is Christmas in the City. The makeup is based off certain cities around the world and uses art inspired by the city’s popular and notable sites. I went to the closet Ulta Beauty to my home so I could look at the collection in person as well as take photographs of the in store displays for it. Since there are so many items in the collection, I decided to split the photographs into different posts dedicated to different products. This post is about the Christmas Around the World gift set.

Published on by essieofwhoLeave a comment

It’s that time of the year when stores start to release beauty holiday gift sets. This year, the gift sets are being released in October in order to avoid shipping delays and supply problems. Because of this, I decided to write my favorite holiday gift sets in October instead of late November and December.

One of the first brands that released their whole entire line of gift sets is Clinique. Clinique’s products aren’t for everyone, especially their acme products, I do like certain beauty items. This year, Clinique released many gift sets that have items I really like or know people who like. Because of this, I decided to start my series of posts about this year’s holiday gift sets with my favorite Clinique gift sets for the 2021 holiday season.
