Philosophy’s much-awaited holiday sets hit the stores this week, giving beauty junkies lots of stocking-stuffer options—or a chance to get some of these indulgent, good-enough-to-eat products for themselves!

Known for their food- and recipe-inspired all-in-one shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath lines, Philosophy goes seasonal with holiday sets like “The Cookbook,” a book-shaped package of six Christmas-evoking flavors—pumpkin spice, red velvet, hot cocoa, spicy pear, gingerbread, and cinnamon buns—and “The Recipe Box,” a matched set containing red velvet and sweet creamy frosting shower gels and actual recipe cards. Another quirky combination aptly named “'Twas the night before,” consists of the traditional gift kids leave out for Santa on Christmas eve—milk and cookies, in shower gel form, of course.

For those who prefer to keep their edibles on their plates and their toiletries smelling more sophisticated, layering sets of Philosophy’s popular Love and Grace fragrances are also available. The sets contain a 2oz. bottle of eau de toilette, an 8oz shower gel, and a 2 oz. tube of body butter, in signature scents “amazing grace,” “pure grace,” and “unconditional love.”

With today’s edgier fashions, the time has come to leave the pearls at home—this season’s adornments of choice are bigger, bolder, and more boyish. Leather cuffs, studded bangles, and cocktail rings are just a few of the hottest sellers from Vita Fede, the luxe accessories brand now all the rage in Hollywood—and soon in Manila.

With its ubiquitous wrap bracelets appearing in countless paparazzi shots, Vita has proven its popularity with celebrity trendsetters. A-listers like Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, and Jessica Biel have been seen sporting the Fascino triple-wrap—a thin leather cuff trimmed with a chain that encircles the wrist in three loops for a multiple bracelet effect. Fergie and Jennifer Hudson, on the other hand, favor Vita’s precious metal bangles and stamped cocktail rings. Leading fashion glossies Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar have also featured Vita in their pages for the brand’s edgy elegance and surprising wearability.

You’ll definitely blow his mind when he sees you in a skimpy set of lacy lingerie before hitting the sack. Show your man your sexy side by being naughty (or nice) in a hot number he’ll never forget.

Your undergarments can make or break your man’s fantasies of a scantily clad you, so be sure to note these tips when you go lingerie shopping.

1. First things first: comfort. Think about what styles fit your body type best. Lingerie isn’t limited to just the tiniest of thongs or that two-piece lace set. Try on what works for your shape and size . Once you do, you’ll be even more confident wearing it in front of your guy.

2. Know what he likes . Does he fantasize about you in a feminine, romantic silk nightie or does he crave for something raunchier like leather? Being aware of what he’s into can help you pick what will set off his mood in the bedroom.

3. Wearing lingerie can help set an erotic mood so why not step up a notch? Don’t be afraid to experiment with kinkier items like an animal print corset, garter belts, or thigh-high sheer stockings . You’ll never know what can turn him on or off if you don’t try them out together.
