If there's a woman in your life who needs {and deserves} a bit of pampering, why not gift her bath and beauty products? She'll feel like she stepped in to a spa or salon, but it's cheaper and she doesn't even have to leave the comfort of her home. From bath sets to makeup palettes that flatter women of all shades, she'll love these picks. Oh, and everything's less than $100!
Argan oil works wonders for hair and skin and you can't go wrong with this six piece kit. They're travel-size, so perfect for a vacation or stashed in your purse for a mid-day touch up.

Caress body wash

When you think of Caress, you probably think of soap and body wash. Well, that's what I immediately think of. I remember using Caress soap as a little girl when I'd sleep over at my grandma's house. The girlie girl in me was drawn to the pink bar of soap. But that was years ago and Caress has certainly grown beyond the pink oval soap.
Fashion and beauty go hand in hand, that's something we know for sure. So I was excited when I heard about Caress teaming up with top fashion experts, aka the Fabulistas, to offer women fashion and beauty advice all in one.
The three experts {June Ambrose, Sonia Castaneda and Lilliana Vazquez} dish out easy to digest style and beauty advice all while letting you know about Caress' new body washes. I've tried the Passionate Spell Body Wash and it's amazing {great lather without drying out the skin and the smell is divine!}.
June Ambrose is a top stylist for the stars you love {Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, etc.}, and while she has access to top designer threads, she offers tips everyday women can utilize.
The Caress Facebook page has a ton of useful videos but the one I really love is June's advice on how to wear white after Labor Day.

best beauty buys, drugstore beauty productssource

When it comes to clothes, I love them. My closet is evidence of that. But when it comes to the world of beauty, I'm kinda intimidated. There are so many products on the market, I get way too overwhelmed and refrain from trying anything new because I don't want to waste my money. Or have you ever bought a cheap beauty product and the quality is just as low as the price?
Well, there are a few beauty items I love that combine affordability and superior quality.
My skin is naturally oily and acne prone, but the one skincare product I use consistently is the Aztec Indian Healing Clay. I was first introduced to it a few years ago by T. Nicole from PintSizedInFluence and I've been hooked ever since.

spa week appointmentsWhen it comes to indulging in facials, massages and any other spa treatment, there's normally a hefty price tag attached for top notch service. But getting pampered doesn't have to set you back a ton. Luckily, all you need is 50 bucks to get the royal treatment you deserve.

Starting October 15, Spa Week returns! Hundreds of salons, spas and fitness centers across the U.S. and Canada have select services for just $50. Some of the treatments would normally cost in the hundreds but for one week only, they're greatly discounted.

Last Spa Week I checked out Skintology's new midtown office for a microdermabrasion. It was my first time getting the procedure and I left happy. And I even continued going back for more treatments {I highly recommend Kristina}.
