Wannabe Beauty Guru's Favorite Things
It's Black Friday, bitches!
It's Black Friday, bitches! If you, like me, like a good sale and also
like having everything delivered, preferably already wrapped, then
this is the post for you. Here are some of Jessica's favourite items
from her Amazon store, just in time for some solid seasonal savings.
We've broken it up into high-ticket items, tried-and-true favourites
with the Wannabe Beauty Guru stamp of approval, and "Haven't tried it,
but love it anyway" wild cards.
Remember, if you click through any of these links and buy anything
from Amazon, even if it's not in Jessica's Amazon store, Jessica will
still get an affiliate fee from Amazon, just for bringing a real live
shopper to the site.
With that, TO THE SWAG!
Hey Big Spender
Here are a few spendy but delightful items that might warm the frozen
cockles of your intended or your already significant other. Or maybe
they'd make a great self-present too!
Enchanted Home Pet Ultra Plush Snuggle Bed in Light Pink

In pink, grey, and a grey chevron print.
This is a beautiful boudoir-style pet sofa in a cuddly velvet
removable (and washable!) cover. It comes with a treat/toy pocket as
well, and, at just over two feet long, is designed for a smaller pet
who likes to sleep curled up while looking glamorous. Perfect for the
canine or feline ZsaZsa Gabor in your life.
Vibration Plate (included in the Black Friday sale)
What it says on the tin. Jessica has bought this but not used it yet,
so she can't give it a rating other than "Good enough for Jessica to
buy."
Vibration has been used for exercise since the early 20th Century.
This sturdy vibration plant will give your core a workout while also
challenging your balance. For an additional body boost, this one comes
with resistance bands for your arms. It's a full body workout you can
do while watching DIY videos on YouTube. Comes in black (on sale for
Black Friday) or, if you're really wedded to the 1970's aesthetic,
orange for an extra $100.
Ray Ban Meta Wayfarer Glasses
Simultaneously iconically 1980's cool and 21st Century cyberpunk, the
Meta Wayfarers are as functional as they are beautiful. Imagine
looking as cool as Ferris Bueller while listening to your favourite
music, no earbuds necessary, and taking high-quality video footage or
photos, sans camera. These stylish specs do it all: POV video and
pictures, sound recording with five mics, scan QR codes, and Google
search requested information. Remember Google Glass? These are like
that, but better, and you look like a rock star, not an evil
scientist. Comes in eight different colorways including polarized lens
options like the classic offline version.
For the Adventurous!
High Frequency Facial Wand, Violet
Another that Jessica has bought but not tested. High frequency wands
are similar to mole pens/plasma pens, in that one is basically just as
good as any other. The ones that glow orange are supposed to be for
anti-ageing, and the ones that glow blue are supposed to be for acne,
but they both work exactly the same way: by causing a tiny electrical
discharge that turns oxygen into ozone and stimulates the surface of
the skin. This increases circulation and is alleged to stimulate
fibroblasts and collagen building, but the jury's out on whether or
not that happens. The ozone DOES decrease surface bacteria on the
skin, which is why it's very common to use these on acne-prone skin.
I've owned one for a few years now, and really enjoy it. Am I sure
it's building collagen and helping on my anti-ageing journey? Hell no!
Do I love it and find it quite soothing? Yell yeah! If the smell of
ozone reminds you of the sea, go ahead and order this. Put on a nice
ocean video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9p2Egh6K0yc) and go to
town with it. I use mine via the Indirect Method, which means I put a
very loosely woven cheesecloth over my face like a Mediterranean
cheese widow and glide the wand over the top. This amplifies whatever
it's doing to my skin. Remember to put a finger on the wand before you
turn the power on, and before removing the wand from your face;
otherwise it'll zap you, and nobody likes that zap crap.
Jessica's Tried and True
Stackable Storage (70 compartments)
https://amzn.to/3ZalEp4
She's tested these, and they just work.
If you've got a million hair doohickeys, gel nail crystals, or craft
supplies, this is the kit for you. Clear acrylic lets you see at a
glance both what you have and how much of it, and a handle allows you
to take it with you when you're on the move.
Bond Angel Hair Kit (On sale!)
Bond building is the way of the future. Why live with split ends, or
cut them off, when you can literally fix them. This bond building
system smooths your flyaways and fixes your frizzies, all at an
affordable price that's now even lower because of Black Friday. You've
heard of Olaplex; this does the same job, with the same technology.
Both Jessica and I use these products and can confirm they just work.
Also, they are lightly fragranced with a fresh, breezy scent that
won't overwhelm you.
Magic Bullet (on sale)
https://amzn.to/496gzCx
You know what these are: personal-sized blenders to blitz up a
healthy, easy breakfast. No heavy lifting before the first coffee,
that's what I say. And since they're on a deep discount during the
sale, it'd be a crime not to include it in the roundup. They're
effective, blend well, last a long time, and take seconds to turn a
bunch of unappetizing leafy greens into something that will leave a
smile on both your face and your colon.
Honestly, I don't know why some marketing department doesn't just snap me up!
I frikkin' love this machine! I love it so much I bought my sister
one, and have been jealous of her ever since. Yanno what? I'm gonna
buy me one this year. And at this price, why don't you join me? This
is a dinner party conversation starter, menu, and centerpiece all in
one. Fondue goes in the pot (cheese, oil, or broth, your choice; I
like broth), raclette (fancy Swiss cheese) goes in the bottom to be
poured on waiting baguette slices when melted, and vegetables to make
your dietician happy go on the grill up top. Your guests will be glued
to their spots and conversation will flow like a river, because it's
highly unlikely they've been to a fondue party in awhile. And high
time they came back, too! Especially on a rainy or snowy night, this
is an instant crowd pleaser that will create memories you'll cherish.
I remember ten years ago, when Bob got cheese on his nose and nobody
told him!
We never liked Bob.

Fashion Finds (all on sale)
With a stylish half-zip front, long sleeves, side seam pockets, and
cuddly 100% cotton sweatsuit fabric, this is elevated athleisurewear
that you won't be ashamed of, should you run into an old crush. Which
totally didn't just recently happen to me. Nope.
ANYWAY, lifestyles today require something in between business casual
and pj pants (no, truly, leave the pj pants at home, people!), and this set fits the bill, in a multitude of colours.
Cable Knit Sweaterdress
She's cuddly, she's cozy, and she's available in 20 different colours!
She's also machine washable, and great with leggings in the wintertime.
Feelingirl Shapewear Bodysuit
If you've got it, flaunt it! If you've got more of it than you'd like,
tuck it into this bodysuit that goes from the mid-thigh to the boobage
zone. Because it's one piece, it alleviates the crimped sausage look
that can arise with shapewear separates, and because the legs are
shorts rather than a skirt, it can be worn under both dresses and
pants. Designed to give your butt a boost. Seriously effective,
seriously affordable, and available in a very full range of colours to accommodate a variety of skin tones.
Stocking Stuffers
Smaller gifts that will delight and charm your friends and family.
Fairy Hair Tinsel Kit (on sale)
Bling for your crowning glory! The holiday season is party season, and
we love anything that sparkles and fascinates. This kit includes
tinsel hair extensions along with literally everything you need to apply and wear them, from the Topsy Tail tools to the rattail comb.
Zimasilk Mulberry Silk Pillowcase (on sale)
These have been hot for years now, because they just work. Wake up
free of face creases, with your hair still as smooth as the day
before, with these beautiful 600 threadcount silk pillowcases,
available in 39 different colours! What are you waiting for? And get a
set for yourself, because you too deserve frizz-free, wrinkle-free mornings.
Bling out your walls for the festive season, or just because. These
beauties bring glamour at an affordable price to the most utilitarian
of items: the power socket in your wall. Ideal for bedrooms, boudoirs,
or maybe JLo's living room, these are easily installed, come in a
myriad of forms so your light switches can match your smart device
charger which matches your power outlet, and also come in pink or
classic rhinestone. Put a little Liberace in your life for less than five bucks!
