Father's Day Gift Ideas from Aveda

Still trying to decide what to get Dad for Father’s Day? Not sure exactly what he needs to compliment his lifestyle? Whatever excites Dad, Aveda can help make sure you find the perfect gift for him this year. Aveda offers a variety of budget-friendly Father’s Day gifts that are sure to be a success:

The Gym-Rat Gift: Gift Dad with the highly-energized Rosemary Mint Set to take to the gym. Infused with peppermint and rosemary that naturally energize, Rosemary Mint Shampoo, Conditioner and Hand/Body Wash will leave him felling refreshed following the gym. Or if Dad prefers bar soap, swap the Hand/Body Wash with a Rosemary Mint Bath Bar. The bar invigorates with rosemary and peppermint that lingers long after rinsing.


Lovably Low-Maintenance: Does Dad’s entire grooming routine consist of shampoo and a lip balm? Give him an eco-friendly upgrade with Aveda Men Shampoo, and a few Aveda Lip Savers. Gentle enough for everyday use, Aveda Men Shampoo leaves hair soft and manly fresh. He will also love Aveda's cult favorite Lip Saver, which features cinnamon leaf, clove and anise oils that will keep his lips smooth, protected and soft.


The Ultimate Cut: Take his regular barbershop trip to the next level with a gift certificate for a hair cut at your nearest Aveda salon. Not only will he get a great cut (and maybe update his look), but he’ll enjoy Aveda’s complimentary offerings such as a scalp, head and neck massage and a yummy cup of Aveda Comforting Tea. Find your nearest Aveda salon here.


The Budget-Conscious Cut: Not looking to break the bank this Father’s Day but still want Dad looking well-groomed? Not to fear -- there’s an Aveda Institute nearby that offers the perfect gift for Dad. Institutes nationwide develop the finest artists in the salon and spa industry, and their services are just a fraction of the cost of salon prices. Men’s haircuts start at just $15.

Korres Lip Butters

Since I am such a fan of body butters, it makes perfect sense that I would also enjoy lip butters! Korres, a natural skincare line from Athens, Greece, have great pots of lip butters ($9) with exotic flavors like guava, quince, and wild rose. The guava one is clear, while the others have a tint of red or rose color to them, making them good for a girl who wants no fuss and a lot of moisture. Its all about the shea butter, baby! And the rice bran in them is what seals the moisture in and make it last and last.

Pur~lisse be moist and stay protected gift set

It is going to be mothers day before you know it, so you better start looking for a fabulous gift to give your mom. She deserves it! Gift her with something luxurious that she probably would not get for herself, like this awesome gift set from natural skincare brand Pur~lisse. The be most and stay protected gift set contains three of their top selling essentials: Pur~protect essential daily moisturizer,Pur~Moist hydra balance moisturizer, and Pur~lip comfort daily lip nourisher. I got to try two of the three items and they are awesome. The lip nourisher is so good at smoothing out my often rough, flaky pout. I put it on a night before I got to bed and my lips stay soft and moisturized through the night. I also put it on before I apply lip gloss. It creates a layer of moisture, which is often needed with some of my stickier glosses. The hydra balance moisturizer is great too. It goes on super smooth and isn't "wet" like most moisturizers, so I don't have to wait ages for my skin to absorb it. It is infused with Pur~lisse's special Lotus Lupine Peptide Complex, Vitamin E and their secret blend of French Marine Plants. Sounds fancy, right? Well, at $125 for the set, it is sure to make your mom feel fancy!

Stocking Stuffers From Korres

If you have never tried Korres products, you are in for a treat. They are made from all natural ingredients and produced in the exotic land of Greece! Hence flavors like Quince, Guava, Wild Rose and Pomegranate. They have some awesome stocking stuffers for the holidays, available at Sephora, like these Butter Duo sets, available in Quince or Guava. Each contains a 1.69oz. body butter and a lip butter pot. Both are great for dry winter skin!

Korres Butter Duo To Go in Quince

Another great simple gift set I've found is Korres' Butter Duo To Go in Quince. For $18 you get a 1.69oz. of their body butter and a lip butter pot both in yummy exotic Quince flavor. Korres' products are all natural and made in Greece. The rich body butter is great for dried-out winter skin and the lip balm will help any chapped lips out there. I kinda like that they come in a plastic pouch. Its simple and yet chic. Throw that into anyone's stocking and they will be more than happy!

Friends and Family Discount at MAC!

I got the email yesterday, but wasn't able to share the news with you all until now (Thank god they extended it through Tuesday July 17th at 11:59 PST): Get 15% off at MAC.com AND free shipping!!! Not bad huh? Just use the code MACFF08 at checkout.

I have been staying away from MAC for awhile, trying to broaden my horizons, but now seemed like a good time to jump back in! Here is what I ordered (only two things... this girl is on a budget!):

Tendertones Lip Balm SPF 12 in Sweet Tooth, a sheer coral with a white pearl. It sound perfectly pretty for the summer months and I need a go-to lip balm/gloss with some sun protection! The pot its in is also very cute.


Eye Kohl in Haycinth, a golorious-morning blue (their description, not mine, but it sold me!). I love soft eyeliners and I need a fun bright color for a change. I've heard good thing but never tried MAC eyeliners, so we shall see.
