The holidays are so close I can taste the Christmas dinner! Here is my final instalment of my annual holiday gift guide – the best stocking stuffers for beauty lovers on your list. As stocking stuffers are usually last minute-style gifts, I’ve chosen items you can easily find, and, all fit nicely into a stocking 😉
The first is something I don’t leave the house without.
The Revlon Oil Control On-The-Go oil-absorbing roller | $12-$20
I love this little oil-absorbing miracle! Purse and pocket friendly, this is a lifesaver come mask removal time. My chin and nose can get real shiny under a mask; so I roll this lightly on those sheeny areas for instantly matte results. Made from volcanic stone, you just take off the plastic cap and roll away.
So easy. No residue. No cakey powdery build-up. It does not remove your make-up. Nothing but instant mattifying results.
AND it’s reusable. You can twist to unlock the ball, give it a light wash, and use it all over again. Brilliant and simply everyone on your list will love one of these.
The Lise Watier Irresistible Collection | $95
Canadian brand, Lise Watier launched this glittery limited-edition Irresistible Collection that is pure perfection. The colours are chic and sophisticated without being boring, and the packaging is oh-so stunning. It has bejewelled, golden cases that feels substantial and down-to-business, fancy!
The above collection pack contains:
- 6-colour eye shadow palette with highly pigmented shades in matte, satin and metallic finishes
- A beautiful blush duo that has lovely payoff and blends beautifully
- Universal lip balm with a hydrating formula that reveals a natural pink hue. I love this balm and its become my new go-to – the berry pink shade it leaves behind is simply lovely
- A glossy lip coat that has a high-shine, non-sticky vegan formula
- A single lift eye patch that helps you erase signs of fatigue in under 20 minutes
GROOM Purifying face wash and Mattifying face moisturizer |$22 & $26
I’ve shared GROOM products before and love to support this Canadian brand that passionately develops their products using carefully selected, eco-friendly, natural ingredients. Their entire line is made in small batches directly from their Montreal workshop.
GROOM’s Purifying face wash is designed for daily use. It’s gentle on skin, using jojoba and barley for soothing while protecting the skin’s natural hydration.
The Mattifying face moisturizer not only smells amazing (like pine and cedar), but uses beeswax and jojoba – perfect protection for these cooler, drier days.
GOOPGENES Clean Nourishing Lip Balm Trio | $58 ($84 value)
Lip balms are my new go-to. I have foregone my ‘signature’ long-lasting lip for something more comfortable and subtle (much like I’ve forgone heels for flats and hard pants for soft haha). GOOPGENES released a lovely trip of three perfect lip balms. These are very nourishing, comfortable, and come in lovely, chic packaging.
This pack contains their best-selling goop lip balm PLUS two new sheer, beautifully tinted versions (Rose and Garnet). I like this kit as you can pop it into one stocking, or separate them and pop them into three:)
Carolina Herrera Very Good Girl fragrance |$130
I featured Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl last holiday season and this year was excited to see her new fragrance – Very Good Girl.
Very Good Girl is such a playfully chic fragrance. With top notes of red current and lychee, the centre of the fragrance is rose. Vetiver and vanilla are the grounding base notes that make this scent complex yet sophisticated and sexy. I mean – this bottle – how sexy is that??
CND Sensations Moisturizing hand wash and Hand & Body lotion | $10-$16
CND – known for amazing nail products, recently introduced their new reformulated line of CND Scentsations Hand wash and lotion. Made for all skin types, these vegan formulas are formulated with glycerin and jojoba to protect the skin and cleanse without drying.
These are pH-balanced and the perfect pair to live by anyone’s sink. Post-washing you can follow up with an ultra-hydrating (and delicious smelling) lotion that absorbs quickly. I’m enjoying the Citrus & Green Tea scent. It’s fresh with a lovely, vibrant citrus note that brightens the mood. You can find this or their other fragrances (like Strawberry & Prosecco, and Mango & Coconut) on Amazon and select salons.
And that’s a holiday wrap!
