Target has everything you need in the style department this holiday season. If you have not browsed the aisles of Target store lately and seen the amazing home design, clothing and shoes, then at least stop by the makeup and skin care aisle.

Target has brought on some of the best beauty lines from across the pond and I for one, am thrilled that they are now available so readily here at my favorite retailer. Pixi by Petra is no stranger in the beauty world. Here is a run down.

Pixi by Petra was started over a decade ago by makeup artist Petra Strand in London. She’s been a makeup artist for over 20 years. This line has skincare elements to it and the products all contain natural botanicals and healthy skin ingredients.

Pixi By Petra Ultimate Beauty Kit 3rd Edition-All the colors are gorgeous for most eye colors & skin tones. I’m  happy with the quality as it reminds me of matching all the colors. I love that they have a wide range of colors.

Fairy Dust- A great loose pigment eye shadow that is finely milled and easy to apply with a built in sponge applicator. I love the shimmer tones and the pigment is beautiful and lasts with out creasing. Add a primer before hand for a brighter color.

Pixi By Petra Palette Rosette-Glow au naturale with some all over glow, add blush to the apples of your cheeks for a flush of color, dress it up or play it down for a smoooookin eye look. Use the brow hues, highlight powder and enhancing contour (can be used as a bronzer too!) to create a fierce set of brows and compliment your features in the process, or do it all! There’s no wrong way to go about it when using Pixi’s Rosette Palette. That is why I love it so! The Ultra thin sleek design makes this totally travel friendly too. Slip it into any bag and you’re good to go!

These make great gifts for the holiday season for all your friends who love makeup.

When you are drilling holes and driving screws, it can be a pain to continually swap bits or grab another tool for the job. Most of us have both a drill and a screwdriver. However, WORX’s new Switchdriver puts both in one handy tool.

It features a two-headed rotating chuck so you can switch bits on the fly and get stuff done much faster, with less hassle. This is perfect for those who don’t need mega power, but need to get projects done quickly. It is nice to see a tool company thinking about the user and not just making the same old tools.

This is a tool that should be on your holiday gift list for those in your life who want those great tools to add to their collection.

ThermaCELL Heated Insoles are the latest innovation in outdoor comfort technology. They keep your feet and toes warm in the coldest conditions, at work or play.

ThermaCell’s foot warmer offers convenient remote operation, no wires or external batteries, and at least 2,500 hours of toasty heat to warm cold feet for about four winters of heavy use:

  • Rechargeable foot warmer is operated by a wireless remote control while the foot warmer is inside your shoes or boots
  • Uses high-tech wireless thermal technology—no wires, extension cords, Velcro® straps, or battery strap brackets, and no batteries mounted to the ankle, shoe, or waist
  • Charge lasts up to 5 hours of constant use (on medium heat setting)
  • Powered by rechargeable, built-in lithium-ion polymer batteriesembedded in the foot warmer insoles
  • Adjustable to three temperature settings to warm cold feet by remote control: no heat, medium (100 degrees Fahrenheit), and high (111 degrees Fahrenheit)
  • Can be recharged at least 500 times using the included charger.
  • Recharges in 4 hours or less
  • It’s how to keep feet warm while hunting, working, or playing outdoors
  • Small, lightweight remote control operates Heated Insoles and fits into a pocket or attaches to a belt
  • Water resistant
  • Fit easily into your shoes or boots
  • Less than half the cost of other wireless remote systems
  • Tested by SATRA, worldwide leader in footwear testing, research, and development

Customizable Sizes for Men and Women
Fits men’s shoe sizes 3.5 to 13 and women’s shoe sizes 4.5 to 14
  • Can be trimmed to fit almost any shoe size

HOW HEATED INSOLES WORK:
Heated Insoles use state-of-the-art thermal technology with a built-in thermostat.  So they get warm, but not hot, to the touch.

Your feet won’t get too hot and sweat, and they won’t get too cold. That’s because ThermaCELL Heated Insoles heat to a specific temperature, based on your remote control setting:

  • Medium 100F
  • High 111F

Heated Insoles are designed to keep your feet at the optimum temperature you select.  Once Heated Insoles reach that temperature, they temporarily turn themselves off.   Then they’ll turn back on when needed – just like a house thermostat.

This thermostat-driven smart technology is what sets ThermaCELL apart from other products on the market.

ThermaCELL’s Heated Insoles are a pretty cool idea.  They not only have a remote control that you can easily clip onto your belt, they have two heat settings and should be good for about 5 hours.  They have a thermostat, just like a house thermostat, that turns on and off automatically based on the temp setting you choose.  And they top out at 111F, which is warm enough to keep your feet toasty but not hot enough for them to sweat.

If you’re looking for a Christmas gift for the winter sportsman (or woman!) in your life, the ThermaCELL Heated Insoles might be just the thing!
