Seven Rouge Bunny Rouge Makeup Brushes That Can Help Perfect Your Holiday Look

The right makeup brushes can give your beauty that something extra.

Have you ever noticed why some women seem to look impeccable when it comes to their makeup?  Despite using the same products, the results can be entirely different just because of application.  Today, I want to tell you about some new makeup brushes from luxury beauty brand, Rouge Bunny Rouge that can help perfect your look.

The Powder Brush (001) is soft, plush and made of goat hair with an oval-shaped head and a black wooden handle with matching ferrule.  The hairs do a great job of grabbing onto powder without causing a powder storm when tapping off the excess.  You will also find this brush handy when applying bronzer to highlighting powders.  This brush runs $54.00.

The Face Contour Brush (012) is another fantastic brush that is made of squirrel hair. The size of its brush head of dense, firmly packed hairs makes it well suited to pick up just enough contouring powder without overdoing it to simplify your application.  This brush goes for $56.00.  

The Highlighter Brush (014) is a versatile brush for using with powders and liquid formulas, being made of synthetic hairs.  It is doomed, but not as fluffy soft as the powder brush.  The hairs are dense enough for handling the powders but just as wonderful for more detailed closer work with liquid formulas.  It sells for $33.00

The Large Shader Brush (003) is for using with eye shadow that is made of pony hair with a flat head.  You can use it with eye shadow powders to wet formulas.  It maneuvers wells, keeps powder clinging so it doesn’t land into the eyes, and smooths either dry or wet shadow beautifully.  This brush retails for $26.00.

The Blender Brush (016) is an eyeshadow brush with a rounded head that has synthetic hairs and a longer black wooden handle.  This is excellent for blending and blurring out eye shadow for a speedier application.  This brush sells for $30.00.

The Eyeliner Brush (013) is ideal for lining the eyes with liquid liners for an extra fine line.  It has sable hairs and really does keep the line precise and thin.  This brush sells for $16.00.

The Shader Brush (015) has a foam rubber head with a long lotus wood handle for using with eye shadow powders.  I found that it collects the pigment quite well.  This brush retails for $12.00.

I loved adding these new Rouge Bunny Rouge #makeup brushes to my brush collection because they did give me beautiful results.  These beauty tools can also do the same for you or anyone on your holiday gift list.  My advice is to visit the company’s website and check out any of these makeup brushes!

Glo Skin Beauty Cream Stay Shadow Sticks (Toast, Pitch) Review

Toast is on the left with Pitch on the right.

Those that have sensitive eyes may find cream formulas or eye shadow crayons more to their liking over powders.  This variety such as Glo Skin Beauty’s Cream Stay Shadow Sticks cling better to the lid without risking eyes to any product dust that could find its way inside.  

I received two shades of that six-product line with Toast and Pitch.  Toast is a cool, medium brown that has more of a gleam than actual shimmer to it.  On the other hand, Pitch is a matte black and was better suited as eyeliner.  These crayons do not have a built-in sharpener like the earlier ones came with.

The formula is creamy with beautiful pigment that does blend well, but it must be done quickly with how fast this crayon sets.  It does crease after several hours when you go without a primer.  However, I didn’t run into that problem when I primed first so keep that in mind.

Something else that I really love about makeup crayons in general is how little space they take in a makeup bag or in tiny clutch.  The Cream Stay Shadow Sticks ($20.00) also make great beauty stocking stuffers so check them out at Glo Skin Beauty.

Fuego Hot Sauce Subscription Box December 2017 Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Hot sauce helps speed up the metabolism to help burn more calories!

A trick that I find helpful to stay warmer when it's cold is to use more hot sauces on my foods and recipes when cooking.  This extra addition of spicy fire always adds a welcome savory nip to boost up flavor.  A Fuego Box hot sauce subscription always keeps my cooking creativity evolving with each new trio of hot sauces that arrive each month.

This month I found Bigfat’s Sea of Green Verde Style Hot Sauce.  This is a versatile, medium heat of a sauce.  It has roasted tomatillos, poblano and habanero peppers enhanced to their delicious potential from garlic, tangy lime juice and cilantro that you can sprinkle freely on a bounty of foods.  

El Machete Insurgente has fire-roasted orange habanero peppers, garlic, carrots, onion, and spices to fire up dishes.  I did add some to my bean dip instead of cayenne pepper and it was devilishly good.  Next time, I plan on using some to marinade chicken in.

Red Robot Peachslap is a fruit-inspired hot sauce with peaches to balance out the heat of the habanero peppers.  The result is a very pleasing milder heat with bit of sweetness to it, which I enjoyed this morning on my scrambled eggs. 

If you love the taste of hot and spicy or have friends and family that do or are trying to lose weight, then a Fuego Box subscription would make a perfect gift.  For $29.95 per quarter, you get three artisan hot sauces with free USA shipping. You also get an informational card about each sauce and how best to enjoy them.  Check it out!

Catherine Jinn's Pro Bio-Placenta Essence ($29.97) Giveaway (USA, Canada)–Ends December 18, 2017

This is a clear, lightweight serum that have five growth factors in its formula.

Whether you want to boost radiance or target fine lines, the right skin care product can make that a reality.  One serum that I think can help improve a complexion is from Korean skin care brand, Catherine Jinn and her Bio-Placenta Essence that I had first discovered months ago when I first reviewed it.

What is interesting about this anti-aging serum is that it uses five growth factors  (IGF, EGF, VEGF, acidic FGF, and basic FGF) to repair skin damage and restore elasticity like the human placenta without parabens, fragrance or animal testing.  

This is a clear, fast-absorbing product that isn’t particularly lubricating for how it works.  However, it does smooth out fine lines and leaves a velvety feel to the skin that you’ll appreciate for the beautiful boost it will give your complexion.

Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polishes for Dazzling Holiday Nail Glamour Without Toxic Chemicals

On the left is Griffith Gaze, Laurel Canyon Lover, South of the Blvd., Mulholland Drive, One Night in WeHo, and ending with Walk of Fame on the right.

I do tend to have with reactions from nail polishes at times despite using a base coat for initial protection.  When this happens, my nails stain and also have redness around the skin where I just painted.  They can stay that way for a while even after removing.   However, I do seem to have better luck when using brands like  Lauren B. Beauty that don’t have unhealthy chemicals such as formaldehyde or formaldehyde resin, DBP, toluene, and camphor in their formulas when I want to glam them up.  

Lauren B. Beauty is a Los Angeles-based vegan beauty brand that manufactures here at home in the United States.  What is even more appealing about this luxury nail brand is they went one step further to keep dangerous chemicals from compromising the integrity of the polish by eliminating TPHP (and all other related phosphates) as well as xylene.

Having said as much, I was pleased to test out some of their nail polishes.  The six shades sent were extra festive ones for holiday glamour that include Laurel Canyon Lover (deep matte red-burgundy), South of the Boulevard (matte fuchsia pink), Griffith Gaze (beautiful mix of matte pink, mauve and pale gray), Walk of Fame (shimmering brick-red), Mulholland Drive (deep, matte blue-toned purple), and One Night in WeHo (multicolor glitter particles of purple, blue, green, silver, gold, turquoise and hot pink that gives a metallic effect).

These nail polishes are well-pigmented and do wear longer than you might expect.  In my case, it was eleven days before I got my first chip.  Considering all the baking and housework that I do, this is impressive for how this formula held up.

If you want to flaunt elegant nails for the holidays or are in the market for some holiday beauty stocking stuffer gifts, Laurel Canyon Lover ($18.00) is the perfect trendy color that you might want to start with among the other shades at Lauren B. Beauty.  Check this brand website out because you’re going to like them.

Josie Maran Cosmetics Argan Beauty Canvas Limited-Edition Holiday Collection Review

Beauty gifts sets are always the best way to experiment with new products.

The holidays are a prime time to grab some great values on beauty gifts sets to give as well as buy for yourself to test before buying larger sizes.  Argan oil-based makeup and skin care brand, Josie Maran Cosmetics, is offering quite a few enticing options. Today, I want to fill you in on her Argan Beauty Canvas Limited-Edition Holiday Collection ($45.00 USA) that has a $79.00 value!

To start, you get a full-size Surreal Skin Argan Finishing Balm that retails for $36.00 alone as well as a travel-size (0.18 oz.)!  This hydrating, anti-aging product is a cross between makeup and skin care because it follows your makeup or moisturizer.  It smooths over the face, giving it a dewy quality.  However, the second most prevalent ingredient the formula

The Argan Beauty Canvas set is a $79.00 value for $45.00 (USA).

has is dimethicone, which can trap bacteria, grime and oils and cause skin eruptions for some people due to the nature of this sand-based molecule that can embed itself in pores.

You also get a 0.4 fl. oz. bottle of Argan Moonstone Drops.  A drop or two before foundation or alone really helps the complexion glow from its beneficial mix of oils such as argan, lavender and lemon grass along with the mineral, mica for its contribution of a shimmer.

Still, there is more to this kit than just skin care.  You also get a 0.06 oz. tube of Argan Lip Sting Plumping Butter in Boysenberry.  This berry shade  appears darker in the tube until you apply it.  It is on the sheer side that is easily built up to darken.  It does slightly sting, but does manage to volumize somewhat and treat lips like a lip balm.

If you’re thinking it’s time for new skin care and makeup and never tried Josie Maran Cosmetics, then the Argan Beauty Canvas is something to look into.  This limited-edition holiday collection also makes an ideal holiday beauty gift for those on your list.  Check it out at the company’s website.

Pure by Rachelle Parker! Natural Handmade Essential Oil Soap Bars with Shea, Coconut & Jojoba Oil Gift Set Review

You'll feel extra special after using these essential oil soaps.

Some of us are fans of a liquid body wash or bath gels while others prefer cleansing with a solid bar of soap.  If you happen to think more highly of well-made bar soaps, then a set that has pure essential oils in the formula for aromatherapy benefits in addition to moisturizing qualities would be a better choice.  One that you might like is the six bars that are in Pure by Rachelle Parker! Natural Handmade Essential Oil Soap Bars with Shea, Coconut & Jojoba Oil Gift Set.

Each bar is 4-oz. and suitable for all skin types. The scents include Lavender (for relaxation), Peppermint (for stimulating the senses), Tea Tree (anti-inflammatory), Lemongrass & Orange (for exfoliation), Ylang Ylang & Rose (mood booster for feeling beautiful), and Patchouli (for soothing and help with chapped skin).

You’ll love spending time  in the tub or shower with these beautiful, scented bars. This Natural Handmade Essential Oil Soap Bars with Shea, Coconut & Jojoba Oil Gift Set is now $15.95 over its regular $19.99 price at Pure by Rachelle Parker! and would make a fine holiday stocking stuffer gift!  Check it out.

Rouge Bunny Rouge Collector’s Coffret of Three Provenance Tales Travel-Size Perfumes Gift Set Review

This gift set has three travel-size perfumes with Silvan, Silhouette and Incognito.

Fine fragrance lovers that appreciate rich spicy, woody perfumes that can intrigue the senses with their opulent compositions will be pleased to hear that luxury beauty brand, Rouge Bunny Rouge, has launched a Collector’s Coffret Provenance Tales Travel-Size Perfume Trio Gift Set!

This travel-size collectible trio features three of their unisex eau de parfum sprays from the Provenance Tales line that include Silvan, Silhouette and my new favorite, Incognito. Unlike the perfume vials that are 2ml each in their Fragrance Sampling Set, this set has three considerably larger 15ml bottles.

Silhouette by perfumer, Nathalie Lorson, has a very spicy opening from notes of coriander, pimento, nutmeg, and a gentle influx of rose petals.  By the time it warms in the heart, it becomes more compelling and sensual due to vetiver, cedarwood atlas, sandalwood, and cade wood.  As it winds down in the base, its notes of musk, ambergris combined with leather and guaiac woods add soft, polished appeal.

Silvan is another spicy, but fresher woody fragrance due to opening notes of grapefruit, juniper berry and pepper.  As it warms and further develops, it takes on a smoky mellow quality to its wood notes from the incense against its guaiac wood.  The base notes of patchouli add a touch of floral sweetness to this forest mix along with cedarwood and musk for a softer spicy finish.

Incognito by perfumer, Shyamala Maisondieu, is a haunting musky fruity-floral fragrance that captivates with its elegant soft pink pepper and leather notes against a luscious fruity Osmanthus absolute and orris butter spread over floral ylang-ylang while slowly seducing from that inescapable blend of patchouli, suede, heliotrope, and musk in the base.  

Though all three of these Provenance Tales perfumes are unisex fragrances, Silhouette and Silvan smell more manly against my body’s chemistry and aren’t particularly flattering on me.  However, they both smell divine on my guy.

On the other hand, Incognito is more a female fragrance in my opinion.  If you’re fragrance shopping for a woman this holiday season, Incognito is a show stopper with its elegance and sexy styling.   Then again, Silvan and Silhouette could be your perfect scents.  Visit Rouge Bunny Rouge and look for these fragrances as well as the Collector’s Coffret Provenance Tales Travel-Size Perfume Trio. 

SofTOUCH Purifying Complexion Brush From Earth Therapeutics Review -- For a Better Clean

This brush has microbial properties in its bristles!

Something amazing about charcoal infused bristles is that they do more than what you may expect from a makeup or cleansing brush.  These treated bristles like the ones in Earth Therapeutics Purifying Complexion Brush have microbial properties for added complexion benefits over plain bristles.

Here is what this brush looks like.

Due to this technology, this brush is specially designed with ultra-soft bristles to gently exfoliate away the outer layers of dead skin to unclog pores. The embedded infusion of medicinal bamboo charcoal enhances the cleansing process by drawing out impurities and helps remove excess surface oils and bacteria that may dull the complexion for deeper cleansing without irritation than your typical cleansing method.

If your complexion has breakouts or is excessively oily, I really think this brush could help. You might also want to try their Pure fx Charcoal Cosmetics Brush Set ($15.99), which I reviewed earlier because it really is an awesome set that I keep turning to ever since it arrived that can also keep your makeup application more sanitary.  

At $9.99, the Purifying Complexion Brush also makes an ideal stocking stuffer.  Check it out at Earth Therapeutics website.

Pure by Rachelle Parker! Aromatherapy Top 6 Essential Oils Gift Set – A Holiday Gift of Well-Being

Well-being is a gift all can appreciate.

Aromatherapy has a long, distinguished history as far back as 3,500 BC. However, it was officially recognized and titled in 1937 by French chemist, Rene-Maurice Gattefosse after treating a burn with lavender essential oil.  

If you’re looking for a great introductory set of #aromatherapy oils without destroying your budget, then Pure by Rachelle Parker has a wonderful option with their Aromatherapy Top 6 Essential Oils Gift Set ($19.99).  The oils are all premium therapeutic grade without fillers. 

The #essential oils are Tea Tree (disinfecting and healing), Peppermint (indigestion and pain relief) and Lavender (stress aid), Eucalyptus (decongestant and antibacterial), Lemongrass (microbial and to help relax), and Sweet Orange (anti-inflammatory and another stress aid).  Each of these oils can also be used for a variety of other ailments.

There are no carrier oils added to their formula so it is important that you remember to mix with a carrier oil first.  Without diluting, you risk developing a severe allergy problem that you may never get rid of.  Therefore, do your homework about each particular oil  and the ratio of that essential oil to that carrier oil.  Keeping this in mind, you will get the best results for healing and stay safe at the same time.  

Sometimes, it can be hard to find the right gift.  Yet, I think a gift such as The Pure by Rachelle Parker Aromatherapy Top 6 Essential Oils Gift Set for well-being would make a thoughtful one.  Check it out at the company’s website.

PUR Cosmetics Quick Pro Holiday Glitters 5-Piece Eye Polish Kit Review

*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

This $39.00 eye shadow kit has a $93.00 value.

With all the holiday parties and celebrations, you might want to give your eyes extra shimmery sparkle.  PUR Cosmetics Quick Pro Holiday Glitters 5-Piece Eye Polish Kit  has intense creamy color that is highly pigmented to give the eyes that shimmery foil-like shine with lasting coverage due to built in primer.  

You get five gorgeous light and dark colors.

The set is vegan and free of any risky ingredients that could jeopardize health such as talc, parabens, petroleum, gluten, mineral oil, sodium lauryl, and sulfates.  This kit includes five beautiful shades such as Namaslay (rose-gold), Midnight Diamond (beaming silvery charcoal ), Queenie (yellow gold), Lust (cranberry), and OMG (bronze-brown)  It also features a hard spatula applicator.

The pigment in these shadows is stunning and can make your eyes dazzle without any glitter fallout.  Furthermore, these shadows do hold up without creasing for the hours that I wore them.  However, I would have preferred a brush or sponge type applicator over this harder silicone one when working with this shadow. 

Going from left to right is Queenie, Namasly, Lust, OMG, and ending with Midnight Diamond on the right.

The creamy shadow formula was easier to apply by spreading it over the eye area with my finger or just dipping my brush in.  You do need to work quickly because this formula doesn’t take long to dry.  Using your finger or a brush is the best way also to avoid running into clumps like you could experience when you take too much out from the hard applicator.  

With that said, I think the PUR Cosmetics Quick Pro Holiday Glitters 5-Piece Eye Polish Kit ($39.00) would please you or any beauty on your holiday gift list in search of going full glam.  Visit the company’s website to learn more or buy.

Josie Maran Cosmetics 3-Step Argan Makeup Prep Holiday Gift Set -- The Ideal Way to Test What Skin Care Works for You

*Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Smaller sizes are a great way to discover the perfect products for your complexion.

Keeping the complexion young and supple is every beauty’s goal.  Quality skin care products matter when you hope to look your best. Of course, what formulas may work exceptionally well for some may not perform the same way for others, depending on skin type, texture, etc.   Being the case, it is always beneficial to test a skin care system in smaller sizes first to see the difference those products may or may not make for your complexion.  Josie Maran’s 3-Step Argan Makeup Prep Holiday Gift Set is one wonderful option.

This is a nice skin care set to get acquainted with Josie Maran’s argan oil-based skin care.  You get a bottle of her 100% Pure Argan Oil (0.5 fl. oz.), which I’m loving from all the nourishing and healing its rich infusion of vitamin E and fatty acids does for moisturizing my dry skin without over saturating it with heavy oil as the complexion takes it in.  Only two drops were enough to do my entire face.

The second product inside was the Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter (0.34 fl. oz.).  This is another concentrated anti-aging moisturizer that is rich in nutrients from skin energizing ingredients such vitamin E, watermelon seed oil, shea butter, aloe nectar, and cucumber extract.

The third product is the Surreal Skin Argan Finishing Balm (0.18 fl. oz.).  This is fantastic to help the complexion glow whether you use it before makeup to prime or just to finish your skin care. 

This 3-Step Argan Makeup Prep Holiday Gift makes a great gift.  This natural skin care set retails for $25.00 and is a $42.00 value.  You can find this set and other holiday gift sets at Josie Maran Cosmetics so do check it out!

Glo Skin Beauty Suede Matte and Creamy Lip Crayons Review + Swatches: The Extra Holiday Glam You May Be Looking for

On the left is Crimson, then Monogram, Demure, and ending with Bombshell on the right.

The holidays are a time when you’ll be  visiting friends and family making the rounds to parties and celebrations.  With all that toasting and nibbling ahead, long-lasting lip color that doesn’t require constant touch-ups is especially important.  A suggestion I have for you is Glo Skin Beauty’s Suede Matte and Creamy Glaze Lip Crayons that I got to try.

These mineral-based lip crayons are enriched with vitamins C and E, mango oil and shea butter for keeping lips comfortable.  Besides a beautiful color payoff, these lip products tend to wear like a stain. 

The earlier ones came with a sharpener at one end, but no longer do.  You need to use a separate sharpener.

The Suede Matte Crayons consist of seven shades and retail for $18.00 each.  I received the following four: Monogram (medium nude that has equal amount of pink to brown), Bombshell (classy red that is more neutral than swaying toward a blue or orange red), Demure (mauve-pink), and Crimson (red brown with pink).  

 Going right to left is Demure, Mimosa, Crimson, Praline, Dahila,Bombshell, Bloom, Monogram, and Heirloom .

I thought these matte crayons had a moisturizing feel on the lips and not nearly as dry as other matte formulas can be.  They do sink into the lips after about an hour or so but that luscious velvet color is perfectly intact despite eating or drinking.  

The Creamy Glaze Crayons have a shinier, glossy look to them.  Out of the six becoming shades, I was sent five that include: Heirloom (gorgeous mauve-pink), Bloom (lilac-pink), Dahila (medium violet-pink), Mimosa (warm pink with some coral), and Praline (light gold infused brown).

Starting on the left is Praline, Heirloom, Mimosa, Dahila, and ending with Bloom on the right.

These feel wonderful, stay in place and also manage to remain on the lips after eating and drinking.  You'll appreciate how they manage to keep up with you for hours on end.

Another thing I loved about these lip crayons is how extra convenient their slim size makes them for fitting into a tiny evening bag.  If you haven’t tried Glo Skin Beauty’s Suede Matte or Creamy Glaze Lip Crayons yet, I think that you’ll really like the feel and wear of these.  Check them out!

Pure by Rachel Parker! Spa in a Basket Deluxe Fresh Pear Gift Set for Women Review

If you're searching for a practical gift anyone would appreciate, this Deluxe Fresh Pear Gift Set is all ready to give.  

An easy way to avoid stress when trying to think of what to buy your friends and family this holiday season is to give them some natural pampering body care with aromatherapy benefits like what Pure by Rachel Parker has to offer.  This brand has a wonderful assortment of spa gift sets, aromatherapy candles, essential oils, organic soaps, bath bombs, scrubs, and body butters that can easily solve your gift buying dilemma from what I have tried such as their Deluxe Fresh Pear Gift Set for Women.

This Fresh Pear Spa Bath Gift arrived all wrapped and packaged in a lovely decorated tin, complete with ribbon to adorn.  Inside, I indulged my senses with six fresh pear derived natural skin care products. There was a 400ml Shower Gel, 200ml Bubble Bath Tub, 120ml Body Scrub Jar, 60ml Body Lotion Jar, Bath Crystals (3.4 oz.), and a mesh bag sponge.

However, if you don’t care for fruit scents, the company has a number of other tempting spa gift sets such as herbal or floral-based scents, ranging in various sizes, prices (from $24.99 and up) and assortments.  Check out Pure by Rachel Parker’s website because they really do have a great selection like this Pear Gift Set that is currently on sale for $34.99 from its regular $59.99 price like many of their others.  

I will be sharing more of this company’s gift possibilities with you soon so stay tuned!  

Earth Therapeutics Pro-Organic Purifying Body Wash and Purifying Exfoliating Gloves Review: A Clean You Can Count on

These two products offer a thorough, invigorating deep clean.

Something delightful that I was sent lately was the Pro-Organic Purifying Body Wash and Purifying Exfoliating Gloves from Earth Therapeutics to bathe with.  This bath gel has a light fruity-floral fragrance while offering deeper clean from the medicinal bamboo charcoal to draw out toxins from the pores along with other certified organic botanical ingredients such aloe, shea butter and sunflower seed oil, etc. to lovingly tend the skin.

This product also never mistreated our animal friends for testing.  Furthermore, this body wash has no parabens, laurel or laureth sulfate as well as artificial colors to compromise its healthier formulation.

The consistency of this body wash is more gel like that squeezes from a tube.  It lathers well without needing to use very much.

The #Purifying Exfoliating Gloves were especially nice to use with this body wash.  The feel of this fabric on the skin wasn’t as rough as a loofah when using, but provided more of a gentler exfoliation.  It was wonderful for smoothing the skin and stimulating circulation while the medical charcoal imbedded in the fabric helped to further pull out the toxins and impurities as I scrubbed. 

When I emerged from the tub, I felt clean and more refreshed with softer skin.  I did like both of these products how they left the skin and gave a boost to improve circulation.  Anyone looking for new, more invigorating type of clean that can benefit the circulation should visit Earth Therapeutics and try the Pro-Organic Purifying Body Wash ($9.99) and Purifying Exfoliating Gloves ($7.99).  These also make great holiday stocking stuffer gifts for anyone on your list. 

HORMEL GATHERINGS Party Trays Simplifies Holiday Parties or What Gift to Bring Your Hostess

This is the HORMEL GATHERINGS Party Tray, the Supreme version.

The holidays are always special, but they also can put extra stress on us trying to fit in everything that we need to do.  A great solution to have on hand is a prepared party tray of delicious snacks like one of the varieties in the HORMEL GATHERINGS Party Trays line that I got to sample.  This way when guests come knocking or you need a thoughtful gift to bring your hostess, you can rest assured that you made the right decision.

There is a lot of tasty and filling meats, cheeses, crackers, and olives to snack on.

Out of the tasty versions that I spotted at Walmart, I picked up the HORMEL GATHERINGS Supreme Party Tray, which packs 2.48 lbs. of snack fixings for about $15.98.  I highly recommend this delectable choice because it has Hormel hard and genoa salami, Sargento Colby Jack and Pepper Jack cheeses, two rounds of crispy crackers and a packaged container of assorted pitted green olives.  

This tray really helps with easier party planning or what to do when unexpected guests arrive.

In fact, I picked up three because I knew it would go fast with all this good stuff that my family and friends habitually migrate to when I serve it.  

All this food came in separate packages inside this convenient serving tray.  Believe me, there was a great deal when I unwrapped and arranged the food with two meats, two different cheeses, buttery fresh crackers, and olives.

When it was time to serve, I laid one tray out for the guys watching the game in the living room while the rest of us talked and nibbled on the second one in the kitchen.  

The HORMEL GATHERINGS Party Tray went over very well because the guys polished theirs off before I could make a second pot of coffee.  A good thing, I had the third on hand when my guy returned the empty tray and sent him back with another.

I do buy Hormel products, but never picked up one of these trays until this product review.  However, I definitely will be buying these in the future with how perfectly coordinated the snack selection was with tasty, filling choices that we all loved, not to mention taking another chore off of my list.  

Try HORMEL GATHERINGS Party Trays because they’re the perfect snack or hostess gift giving solution you may not have thought of before!
