Babblebox: Stocking Stuffers for Beauty Buffs

I'm beyond excited to tell you guys all about BabbleBox today on Sensible Stylista.  They sent me four fabulous products to review, and I'm pumped to tell you guys about them.  These items also happen to (very conveniently) make great stocking stuffers/gifts!  Yeah, you're welcome in advance. Anywho, let's take a closer look:
1.  Way Too Tan Dark Hybrid Tanning Silicone:  This product's a high-end, one-of-a-kind, multi-purpose tanning lotion that can be used as a sunless product, or outdoors at a pool or beach.  It contains ultra-premium silicone emulsion offering a rich, luxe sensation with multiple natural enhancers that give you a fast, gorgeous, and dark tan.  Potent anti-aging organic antioxidants, including powerful grape seen extract, help protect and promote a youthful glow and enhance skin health.  High concentrations of Sodium Hyaluronate boosts moisture and fights aging by helping skin maintain elasticity and firmness, diminishing wrinkles.  It's the BEST sunless tanner I've ever used.

2.  MakeUp Forever Ultra HD Foundation:  I'm completely and utterly obsessed with this foundation. I can see why it's one of MF's bestsellers - it's very natural-looking!  Developed specifically for the film and TV industry's most advanced technology,  it creates a naturally flawless complexion.  It features uniquely-coated pigments that provide medium to buildable coverage with an even lighter weight, second-skin texture that looks just like skin.  For those of you wondering, it's available in 40 different shades.  TIP:  apply with their skin primer to create the perfect canvas for smoother, more even, and longer-lasting makeup.  Apply two pumps in thin layers, starting in the center of the face and stretching outward.  Use a flat foundation brush, tap where you need most coverage, and stretch to smooth.
3.  LAQA&Co Lip Pencils:  If you're looking for new lippies, make sure you shop LAQA&CO's collection ASAP.  Their multi-functional products are creatively packaged featuring artwork by young artists who each receive a cut of the profit from every product purchased.  Their lip pencils are light weight yet matte.  They double as lip and cheek stain and give you a fab fresh-faced glow that lasts all day long.  I also got to try their Lip Lube in Golly Geez Whiz.  It's a high-gloss, lightly pigmented lip balm that also works as a lip plumper.  If you want a bolder color, simply layer.  FYI, use code HOLIDAYLOVE to get an extra 30% off your purchase - valid until October.
4.  Jessica Simpson's Ten - I was thrilled to see Jessica Simpson's new fragrance included.  This perfume has a lovely floral, fruity scent that's combined with a feminine and sophisticated undertone of vanilla infusion, white chocolate bean, sandalwood, and driftwood.  The bottle's design mirrors the tenth anniversary theme with a single, elegant feather at the top, a symbol of the brand's free spirited style.   This scent was created in collab with senior perfumer Mary Pierre Julien of Givaudan.  FYI: if you purchase a full sized fragrance from JS, you get a complimentary signature tote bag with your purchase.  Clicky here for deets!

Sensible Stylista x YMI Jeans

I'm beyond excited to partner up with YMI Jeans today on Sensible Stylista.  I centered today's latest around my new chambray tunic c/o YMI (available here).  It's a serious must-have in my book because it's comfortable AND fashionable.  The self-tie highlights the small of my waist, which is awesome because it makes me look way skinnier than I actually am, ha.  Wear it with jeans (like I did below) or pair it with warm leggings and boots for a stylish fall look.  Also, for your reference, I'm wearing a size small. If you want an oversized fit, I recommend sizing up.

It was chilly out so I wore my fave trench coat (similar here) on top and accessorized with my check scarf (similar here).  Both pieces are from Burberry, and I (surprisingly) scooped them during after-Christmas sales in FL.  I usually vacation there during the winter because the weather's amazing! When I'm there, I always make sure to hit up their premium outlet mall because they have a ton of designer pieces available for less. I've scored incredible pieces from Armani, Burberry, Saks, Barneys New York, Kate Spade, and more!
Moving onto my skinnies!  These pants are to die for.  They're called WannaBettaButt jeans, and I can totally see why.  They lift and shift your backside, giving you a firmer look with contour seams. The high-waist hides your muffin-top AND elongates your legs.  For those of you interested, these bottoms are available HERE in 4 different washes - FYI, I'm wearing "dark wash."

The Laser-Cut Trench

Alright guys, I'm super excited to share today's work-friendly look with y'all. I centered my OOTD around my new laser-cut trench courtesy of Donna Degnan.  It's definitely a wardrobe fave.  It adds just the right amount of edge to any and every ensemble.  For those of you unfamiliar with the brand, their label's all about effortless sophistication.  They were founded on the belief that women should look chic on all occasions.  Now, this trench IS an investment, but it's worth every penny IMHO!  I highly recommend picking up one for yourself, especially since it's on sale HERE.
Everything else I'm wearing today is old!  My dress pants are from Madewell, my shoes are from Castro (available here for $26.77), and my top's from H&M.  I'll make sure to link similar items for you guys below since I don't have product URLS listed.
