The LG TONE series is a huge success, and is one of the top wireless Bluetooth headset brand in the US. You can choose from Blue Black, Black Grey and Silver. You can feast your eyes at the product instantly through the transparent box. Taking the top lid off gets you full access to the TONE active.

Let’s talk about the LG Choker or Collar. Whatever you would like to the call it, it is sure a looker. Wearing it around the neck as fashion accessory is certainly an option. For practical purposes, it holds around your neck and doesn’t fall off easily. Its design striking and give you pause to stop and look. The retractable earphones are really convenient too. Pull them out to place in the ear and pull again and stash it back into storage. This is more apparent if you try to insert earbuds of other sports earphones types such as clip-ons or over-ears with one hand.

The TONE has an IPX4 rating. This is basically a International Protection Marking system that rates the degree of protection afforded against the elements. It’s water and sweat resistant.

Running on the Bluetooth 4.2 promising longer batter life, pairing is a cinch. Just hold the power button, activate your device’s Bluetooth, select LG and that is basically it. All this done with accompanying voice prompts and flashing LED’s to clearly indicate the process.

The playback controls are found on Inline on sides of headset. This product works well for exercising it can be drenched in sweat after jogging and still work perfectly fine. The sweat points are mainly around the black rubberized section surrounding the neck. The visible surface dried off pretty quickly.

Wearing them around the neck feels comfortable, sure you know it is there, but it doesn’t intrude into your physical activities that you consider it a hindrance.

There’s absolutely no cable rustle at all. The reason is simple the ultra think earphone cable is never overly stretched when you job. This is a great feature. The TONE Active battery life is up to 12 hours. Once powered, it boasts a healthy 13 hours talk time.

I enjoyed the LG TONE Active + very much. The really convenient placement over the neck and ease of slotting the earbuds to fit was great. The almost non-line is perfect for jogging.

I recently got a chance to try the face mask pamper pack. This face mask pamper pack contains 6 of our gorgeous, most pampering face masks. Refresh your skin with our Pomegranate Peel-off Mask, Relax with our Lavender Aromatherapy Mask, Deep Cleanse with our Aloe Vera Cream Mask. However you’re looking to get the most of your me time, this pack has the perfect solution for you. The package contains:

Refreshing Pomegranate Peel Off Mask
Relaxing Lavender Aromatherapy Mud Mask
Deep Cleansing Aloe Vera Cream Mask
Purifying Tea Tree & Witch Hazel Mud Mask
Skin Brightening Papaya Peel Off Mask

Of those I really like the Minimizing Mask can be used as a full facial mask or T-Zone treatment. Enriched with Rosemary and Cottonseed oil’s antioxidant qualities, this works alongside the cleansing and clarifying properties of Nettle extract to soothe sensitive, while the Camphor Extracts boost the circulatory system. Iris Extract, Vitamin A and Zinc Salt soothe and rebalance your skin, leaving a refreshed, smooth sensation.

The Brightening Papaya Peel-Off Mask is another one of favorites it is refreshing and revitalizing. It is enriched with natural Papaya Extract the mask helps exfoliate whilst Hops actives help even out skin tone, revealing smoother, more luminous skin and a glowing complexion. The Papaya extract used in this mask is rich in Papin, a powerful digestive enzyme that can help to gently exfoliate the sin.

Peel off masks are so much fun. I enjoyed using this and I think it is a great idea as a holiday stocking stuffer for your family and friends. I really do like the products. I’m definitely going to go to Target and pick some up for the holidays.

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.
