CLE Cosmetics CCC Cream

"I’m shook by how much coverage this CC cream provides while still feeling ultra lightweight on the skin," Alexa says of the lightweight all-in-one primer and foundation that contains SPF 50.

"It covers up redness and discoloration effortlessly. It's somewhere between a matte and dewy finish. It blends seamlessly into the skin for a perfect shade match."

Joey Baby Kokoro Freshwater Pearl Heart Necklace

"This statement necklace feels like a trendy take on a classic pearl necklace," Alexa shares. The Joey Baby design features freshwater pearls, a gold clasp, and red heart pendant.

These cork massage balls are designed to relieve muscle soreness, increase flexibility and improve your energy with myofascial release. This set of 3 includes a tiny reflexology ball for the feet and the face.

Nespresso Vertuo NEXT Coffee and Espresso Machine 

"My boyfriend and I just made the switch from Keurig to Nespresso, and we're never going back," the shopping editor says. 

"Everything from the look of the machine to the quality of the coffee is a major upgrade. If you're thinking of getting a Nespresso for you or as a gift for someone you love, just do it. It's worth it," Lily says.
