In honor of the holidays, Château KCM‘s Holiday Gifting Suite invited Fanversation to check out some luxury products from the best brands in beauty, wellness, food, and more. I know I struggle with what to get my friends and family for Christmas, and this event gave me a plethora of good ideas — not to mention it was a ton of festive fun!
While the holidays might usually call to mind freezing temperatures, the fact that the event was held in sunny Beverly Hills meant there was more sun than snow, and Lotus Wei certainly took advantage of that fact by setting up camp next to the mansion’s gorgeous pool. Attendees got to set an intention before throwing flower petals into the water and choosing which flowers from a sheet specifically spoke to them. The ones correlating to Radiant Energy, Quiet Mind, and Truthteller ended up being the ones that resonated with me, and I got to smell a delightful blend that instantly relaxed and refreshed me. As someone who’s been getting more into essential oils for anxiety and migraines, their mists, serums, and elixirs are definitely worth checking out.
My sense of smell wasn’t the only thing that was treated — my tastebuds were indulged as well. Lyre’s Spirit Co. brought it with their delicious non-alcoholic drinks, while Creamalicious and Pom Wonderful were two very welcome sweet treats.
I was treated to some pampering by Innersense, who gave my locks some volume and shine with their collection of hair products. As someone who’s as low maintenance as one can possibly be with my hair, it was great to hear about — and receive! — their I Create Shine serum that you can put in wet or dry hair to give it a smoother, shinier look. I used it before a big event I had this weekend, and I can confirm it makes a difference. I got several compliments on how my hair looked — not to mention I absolutely love the way it smells! Speaking of big events, I snagged a show-stopping silver sparkly shirt from Ardene’s holiday collection that’s going to look fabulous under a black velvet blazer for a moderating event I’m doing next week.
There was much fun to be had in the makeup department. The most unique product I came across is, without a doubt, celebrity makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff Beauty’s UV Neon Mascara, which is exactly what it sounds like! I picked up a bright orange tube that would fit right in at a rave. It would be practical for it, too, considering it’s waterproof, smudge-proof, and even glows in the dark! As someone who has naturally rather unruly brows but is obsessed with a good one, I can see Ardell’s brow glue becoming a must in my daily routine, along with Lash Spell’s enhancing brow and eyelash serums.
Last but not least, Magic Molecule’s skin cleanser is going to make sure my skin stays clean and healthy throughout all of the gitzing and glamming. Made with ionized water, sodium chloride, hypochlorous acid, and hypochlorite ion, it’s a mixture that’s refreshing and safe. The woman demonstrating the product mentioned it’s great for after workouts, and considering my sister is a yoga teacher, I’m definitely going to be telling her about it!
If you’re looking for some gifts for the special people in your life — or you just want to treat yourself! — you can’t go wrong with any of these fabulous brands!
