FOREO IRIS™ Illuminating Eye Massager Set

Admittedly, I’ve been a skeptic of this particular FOREO invention.

Between the freezing temperatures and the shaking of many hands during holiday parties, the Nordstrom Exclusive Clarins Scented Hand and Nail Treatment Cream Trio is very much worth considering. Putting an aromatic twist on the flawless formula, the set features Orange, White Tea and Fig Leaf Extracts in these pocket size staples. You need a set. I want a set. Think car, desk drawer and jacket pocket. $30
