Christina Alyce Beauty

Testing and reviewing the best of clean beauty.

The time to shop for others this Christmas has pretty much come to a close, but if you're in the mood to spoil yourself this holiday season, an online order this late in the game isn't a problem! I have gathered a few ideas for some beauty related gifts to enjoy this holiday season.


Skin Owl Beauty Bar
The first is a wonderful brightening bar of soap from SkinOwl that is sure to be the highlight of all stocking stuffers. This soap is gentle enough for the face and body, and contains turmeric to calm inflammation and brighten your complexion, as well as oats to soothe sensitivity and shea and cocoa butters to hydrate winter-dried skin. If brightening isn't your cup of tea, it is also available in Tomato, Matcha, and Charcoal. When purchasing from the SkinOwl website, you can also choose to includes a soap dish and complimentary travel sized beauty bar.



MyChelle Dermaceuticals Beauty Key Set
Any skincare lover would be overjoyed to receive this three piece set from MyChelle Dermaceuticals which promises to protect and heal from sun damage. Layer the Perfect C Serum and Sun Shield SPF 28 in the morning for broad spectrum sun protection and a dose of antioxidants, and use the Remarkable Retinal Serum in the evening to reverse pigmentation and fine lines brought on by sun damage. All three products are suitable for all skin types.


Plume Brow Collection
What better gift is there to give but one of sculpted brows and full lashes? Plume, known for their effective lash and brow growth serum, has recently released a brow pomade infused with their serum. Their gift set includes their pomade, lash and brow serum, double ended brow brush, and tweezers. You can choose from 5 different shades for the perfect match. You can also use my code for 15% off any items on the plume site (including gift sets). The code is CHRISTINA for customers in the US, and CHRISTINACAD for Canadian Customers

I have been wanting to try a subscription from Goodbeing for a while now, because they always seem to have the perfect variety of items in each box, and I love that they tailor your box to your profile, and even let you pick 1-2 items of your choice to include in your box each month! I was offered a box for review, and I jumped at the chance! I missed my pick window this time around, so each item was a surprise this month. The total value of my box came to over $90, which is a fantastic deal considering a subscription is only $24.95 each month. Below, I dive a little deeper into each item with a mini review, and have some offers for you, too!



Everwell for Life Everbiotics
My Sample: 5 sticks – $6.83 value
Full Size: 30 sticks – $40.99
I have been trying to incorporate more probiotics into my diet for a few months now, because I have noticed a major difference in my skin when I do. Typically I stick to yogurt and Dr Braggs Nutritional yeast, so it was a nice change of pace to have a yummy drink mix instead! This also has the added benefits of prebiotics, which my usual yogurt doesn't contain. This drink mix is a great way to support your immune system during cold season too! I love to just pour a packet into my water bottle, shake it up, and go! These are strawberry flavored and I really like drinking this after a meal instead of grabbing desert. I've been eating way too many sweets over the past year, so I'm sure my body appreciates substituting the candy for something with health benefits once in a while! My only complaint is that this mix is sweetened with Stevia, which I don't love the aftertaste of. I'm sure it's just because I'm a refined sugar addict, so I'm more used to the taste of traditional sugar!
K. Voss MagiK Shimmer
Full Size/My Sample: 2oz - $28
I'm a shimmer and glitter addict, so I was really excited to try this lotion. It's lightweight and subtly shimmery, which would make it perfect for shorts weather! the grape seed oil, avocado butter, and shea butter melted right into my skin and left no residue on the skin. The sandalwood scent confirms that this is the perfect beachy, summertime product to make your skin glow.

Sahajan Restorative Eye Cream
My Sample: 8 mL / $25.60
Full Size: 15 mL / $48.00
This brightening eye cream was inspired by the ancient practices of Ayurveda, by a former pharmaceutical executive. This product is the perfect marriage of  science and nature. Ingredients like honey, neem oil, and Triphala fight signs of aging while coconut oil, mango seed butter, and apricot kernel oil moisturize. I have been struggling with under eye circles lately, so I am really excited to see if this product is able to make a noticeable difference with regular use. But, as far as first impressions go, this product is hydrating and does not irritate my eyes. It also has a unique, herbal smell that I really enjoy.
Yarok Feed Your Ends
Full Size: 8oz - $27.20
My Sample: 20oz - $13.20
This multi use spray is actually something I am already familiar with, because I won a full size in a prior giveaway from Goodbeing! I use it regularly after washing my hair as a heat protect and, and it is perfect for breathing life back into second or third-day curls. Jojoba, Grape seed oil, and apricot kernel oil add lightweight moisture to the hair and protect it from damage during heat styling. I'm happy that I have a travel sized bottle to keep in my bag for touch ups!

Au Natural Creme de la Creme Eye Shadow in Coffee
Full Size: 4 grams - $24
My Sample: 3 grams - $18
I own many eye shadows, but strangely enough, none are cream formulas. Creams have always intimidated me, (until this year I had refused to wear cream blush!) because I am convinced they just don't blend out. This shadow has proven me wrong, with a silky texture that creates the perfect wash of color over the lid. I have really enjoyed wearing this shadow all over my lid without any other shadows, for a really simple look. The bronzy brown color is a shade I would have gravitated toward if I had been able to pick my shade, and it flatters my blue eyes. 

Overall, I am really enjoying Goodbeing, and I cannot wait for my next box! If you'd like to join, you can do so here. They are currently offering some really fun gift with purchase deals, so check those out on the home page! Goodbeing also offers 20% off gift memberships for current members, which 
makes it great for gifting this holiday season!
