Striking it Gold this Holiday

The cost of gold keeps rising, but getting your beauty fix needn’t break the bank.  This holiday season striking it gold is easy with a few selected gifts for those special beauty junkies in our lives.

I’m a huge jane iredale fan, the makeup is clean, natural and compliments all skin tones and complexions.  jane iredale is the skincare makeup and loved the world over by women who care about their skin.  $56

I researched Tom Ford’s New Makeup Collection online and simply fell in love, everything that man touches turns to beauty. I mean I almost had an orgasm looking at all of the luxurious colors and when I attend the launch at Neimans on the 29th, I already know which pieces I can’t live without.$50

Another beauty must is Gold Flash Firming Serum  by Omorovicza, another favorite brand of mine. I love the benefits of  smoother and firmer skin – if indulgence is on your agenda you can visit the St. Regis in San Francisco for a special Omorovicza Facial – just ask for Queenie. $215

Serge Normant is the celebrity stylist to many of the worlds most luxurious tresses – and the Meta Sheer Dry Oil Finishing Spray not only helps tame frizz, but smells sublime, the scent will transport you to another place, a place where bad things just don’t happen. It’s like perfume for your hair, only healthy. $24

While we’re on the subject of hair another great haircare item is Redken’s Argan-6 Oil – the secret behind the Spring/Summer 2012 fashion shows – this amazing oil does wonders for your hair.  I’ve been using it as a night-time deep conditioning treatment. $29

I’m still a big handbag girl, but lately I dream about skincare and Babor created an amazing collection that minimizes pores and reverses the signs of fatigue and age from our skin –  New HSR de luxe $181

Giving the gift of gold is affordable, and luxurious –

Happy Holidays!
