Part 4. Skipping the introductions. Go back and check out the previous 3. Let's go.
So the first gift came by way of Ms. Tamara from a lovely gift shop here in Chicago, Illinois called Hazel. Check them out here at HazelChicago.com. From there she bought...
What is it? According to Store.Moleskine.com...
This basic, yet classic notebook is one of the best selling Moleskine notebooks.This reliable travel companion, perfect for calculations, thoughts and passing notes, has a cardboard bound cover with rounded corners, acid free paper, a bookmark, an elastic closure and an expandable inner pocket that contains the Moleskine history.
What does Ms. Faux think?
Ms. Tamara noted that she has in past bought notebooks and journals that she never uses and then started to. She in particularly uses this one and it is great to keep thoughts, ideas, etc... all up in there. Trust if you know Ms. Tamara she has some hair brained ideas that Ms. Faux thinks makes her a genius. She accompanied this gift with some lovely Precise V7 Premium Rolling Ball Pens $6.49 at Staples.com.
Ms. Faux has used these pens and a Moleskine at work and loves it for it's super clean look and banded closure which keeps everything in its place.

What does Ms. Faux think?
Hunties it is from Ms. Faux's mother so it's perfection. Just kidding. To be honest I have never tried it as I rarely go to Starbucks. However Ms. Allie who gave the gift noted that many people in the Starbucks that she works at will not purchase this tea a lot of times because it is in alignment with Ms. O. Such a shame as it supports a good cause and according to Ms. Allie is one of the best Chai teas they have. Makes Ms. Faux want to go get some Ms. O. Okay... I'll stop. But Ms. Allie won't stop and supplied our next gift as well...
What is it? According to Starbucks.com...
Simply scoop tea into this infuser, place in your mug and pour water directly over tea. Even the smallest tea leaves will steep perfectly through the tea infuser's fine mesh. Made of 18/8 stainless steel. "Teavana®" printed on handle. Dishwasher safe. Do not microwave.
What does Ms. Faux think?
Hunties... it is a tea infuser. What am I to say? Good steel. Beautiful presentation. It is a tea infuser. That being said Teavana is Ms. Faux's absolute favorite tea place in all of the nation so if there is going to be a company that makes banging out some steel for tea special it is going to be Teavana. That being said I have had Teavana diffusers in the past and I will admit I have never been diappointed with their product. Probably why they are my favorite.
What is it? According to Ulta.com...

What does Ms. Faux think?
This product was given by Ms. Clayton, a self described, person who likes to drink. Why? Because this product just has something in it that hydrates you and brings your face back when it is feeling dehydrated, dark and lack luster. Ms. Faux can attest. Also... this is a cult favorite among beauty bloggers. It is my favorite thing to just put on when I go out for groceries on Sunday, because it has a somewhat magical property that makes you not look like a total mess. This is absolutely a Faux Fave.
What is it? According to Sephora.com...
What it is:
A lightweight oil to deeply hydrate and treat skin, hair, and nails.
What it is formulated to do:
This legendary, 100 percent pure Argan Oil is rich in vitamin E and essential fatty acids to deeply hydrate and nourish skin. Grown organically in Morocco, the multitasking formula contains astonishing healing, conditioning, and antiaging properties to create a nourished, youthful-looking complexion. It easily absorbs into skin, delivering a fresh, dewy glow, and keeps you looking beautiful from head to toe. Great for all skin types including sensitive and acne-prone skin, it may also be used to treat split ends and soften cuticles.
What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Sulfates
- Phthalates
What else you need to know:
Pure Argan Oil is first cold pressed to ensure the best quality, highest-grade oil. It is housed in a recyclable glass bottle and purchased from women's cooperatives in Morocco to support their social and economic welfare. These cooperatives work within a UNESCO biosphere reserve that ensures the protection and reforestation of Argan trees.
Research results:
In a 4-week clinical test:
- 83% of women showed significantly improved skin hydration
- Participants saw a visible reduction in coarse wrinkles and fine lines in the eye area
What does Ms. Faux think?
This gift was brought by Ms. Audra. Her reasonings are the exact same reasons that Ms. Faux loves this product as well. Josie Maran was like, "the brand," that brought to the forefront the absolute benefits of Argan Oil. It is delightful in what it can do. Since then other brands, most notably Physician's Formula have jumped on the bandwagon.
Seriously though as Ms. Audra explained and Ms. Faux can attest this oil is perfect for everywhere... skin, hair, nails... just toss it in your purse and go. For those that want a bit lighter of an application Josie Maran has come out with their Josie Maran Light Argan Oil that is a little less heavy depending on your skin type.
For those afraid of oils and your face... trust oil is rarely the problem of breakouts. Those are usually oil and bacteria based. Also if you are thinking you are breaking out due to oil, think again. It could just as easy be because your skin is dead and dehydrated. I started using oils a few years ago and my skin has been better for it.
So there is five more and even more to come.
