Presents are great but stocking stuffers are my JAM!! Growing up we used to get socks, chocolates and oranges, but I remember (vividly) the first Christmas I got makeup in my stocking and nearly lost my everloving mind.
At first I thought ‘Santa’ had made a mistake and added this to my stocking instead of my older sister’s but when I excitedly looked at my Mom – she said ‘Santa doesn’t make mistakes’ and I knew that pastel quad shadow palette from Cover Girl was MINE ALL MINE.
Then there was no turning back – stocking stuffers needed to be one thing and one thing only – beauty products!!
So this holiday season I’ve rounded up my top picks for the perfect stocking stuffers for beauty lovers…so without further delay:
Burt’s Bees always done fabulous holiday kits and this year they’ve done it again with wonderful kits packed with their best-selling items.
I think the spa collection is a perfect gift for the stressed sister, the overworked colleague, or anyone who loves a good ‘ol pamper.
This kit contains:
- A Lavender Fields mini candle
-
Detoxifying Charcoal Sheet Mask
-
Moisturizing Lip Mask
-
Cucumber lip balm
-
Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream (which is a personal favourite of mine)
Now…let’s give some props to our friend QUO. This holiday season they ‘sleighed’ the holiday collection game with so many wonderful holiday items it was hard to choose my favourites…but I did, and they are below:
Currently on sale, this set contains everything a face needs to stay hydrated, glowy and moisturized. The Quo rose-scented Face Serum adds hydration and a soft glow to the skin. The Quo Face Gloss can be patted onto cheekbones or to areas that need an extra boost of moisture, and the ultra-hydrating Lip Balm is perfect for any pout.
QUO | Luxe Brush Set
If you can still find this set – snap it up!! Valued at over $200, this set is for just $75 and comes with six fabulously soft and practical brushes and one shiny red clutch-style makeup bag.
Blend, sweep, contour and highlight with these lovely brushes from QUO.
QUO | Lip Gloss Ornaments
How cute are these?
Perfect for hanging on the tree or used as a present topper – I think these are perfectly poppable into stockings. Coming in a wide range of shades for all skin types – for $6, you can’t go wrong!
Laura Mercier | Caviar Du Jour – Mini Caviar Stick Collection
I fell in love with these last year and I wear these sticks ALL THE TIME. There is nothing easier to blend and I apply them so quickly and easily using just my fingers to smudge in.
This year the four colours are (as shown on my hand above, in order):
Metallic Taupe
Magnetic Pink
Intense Moonlight
Intense Amethyst
Perfect for your holiday parties – you can lighten it up for Christmas brunch and add drama for New Years Eve.
I love love love this product and I know a that beauty lover on your list will, too.
Happy stocking stuffing!
