Stocking stuffers may be my favorite part about Christmas morning (besides spending time with my family of course!). If you’re a beauty lover like myself, finding gifts to fill up a stocking can be pretty easy considering the size of most cosmetic and beauty products. From lip balms to fragrance rollerballs, I have rounded up a list of products that will make the perfect stocking stuffers.
The Products
1. Lauren B. Beauty Nail Polish in “Calabasas Cash” ($18)
Nail polish is the perfect stocking stuffer because it’s affordable, pocket-sized, and guaranteed to put a smile on any beauty lover’s face. But considering it’s Christmas, I’ve opted to choose a more luxury nail polish brand, Lauren B. Beauty as one of my top 10 stocking stuffers. “Calabasas Cash” is a dark and glossy emerald shade that just exudes the Christmas spirit. The formula is laced with glints of shimmmer, and glides on smoothly and streakfree. Buy at RUNWAY2STREET or LAURENBBEAUTY.
2. Vaseline Rosy Lip Therapy Holiday Sweater Designed ($2.99)
No stocking is complete without a good lip balm to keep your lips hydrated throughout the winter season. The Vaseline Rosy Lip Therapy has an all new Sweater design just in time for the holidays. The non-greasy formula spreads on smoothly and helps to heal dry and cracked lips. With hints of rose, vanilla, and red berry, this lip balm is a stocking stuffer necessity. Buy at TARGET.
3. Ariana Grande SWEET LIKE CANDY Eau de Parfum Rollerball ($20)
Another great stocking stuffer that’s both affordable and small enough to fit in that oversized sock is a fragrance rollerball. My personal favorite fragrance right now is Ariana Grande’s “Sweet Like Candy”, which is thankfully available in rollerball size. Inspired by Ariana’s seductively sweet and fun personality, the scent contains notes of sparkling blackberry and juicy Italian bergamot (top), Jasmine sambac (Heart/Middle), and Marshmallow and Vanilla (bottom). Buy at ULTA.
4. Burt’s Bees Endless Shine Trio Kit ($9.99)
Holiday gift sets are always a safe bet if you want to impress your loved ones with your gift giving skills. Thankfully, not all of them are too pricy and come in smaller sized sets. The Burt’s Bees Endless Shine Trio Kit is the perfect addition to add to any stocking. The set contains 3 of Burt’s Bees glossy lip shines, including ‘Blush’, ‘Wink’ & ‘Flutter’. All lip shines are made from all natural ingredients and have a natural and sheer finish. Buy at ULTA.
5. Juicy Couture I Love Juicy Couture Rollerball ($24)
If you’re looking for a fragrance that pretty much every girl would love, look no further than Juicy Couture! Their ‘I love Juicy Couture’ Rollerball is not only a great stocking stuffer but it’s guaranteed to put a smile on anyone’s face. The fragrance opens with a seductive combination of sparkling mandarin and taffy apple, followed by jasmine petals and pink honeysuckle for the heart of it. Finally, the fragrance finishes with smooth notes of patchouli and captive musks. Buy at ULTA.
6. Delectable Ultra Nourishing Hand Cream ($12)
I recently came across the Delectable brand of skincare products and instantly fell in love. They’re super affordable and come in a variety of sweet and irresistible flavors. The Ultra Nourishing Hand Cream is the perfect sized product to fill in any beauty lover’s stocking. The formula is enriched with shea butter and aloe vera to help nourish both hands and cuticles. I chose the Lemon & Cream scented hand cream for this post, but it’s also available in ‘strawberry & cream’ and “coconut & cream”. Buy at ULTA.
7. Biore Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar ($7.49)
I’ll always remember one of my favorite stocking stuffers ever was a charcoal bar of soap. At the time, I had never seen it before but after using it to wash my face, I couldn’t imagine going back to regular soap. That being said, the Biore Pore Penetrating Charcoal Bar is the perfect stocking stuffer. The charcoal bar has a dual action formula that both cleanses and exfoliates skin to draw out impurities that clog pores. Besides the charcoal ingredient, this soap bar also contains jojoba beads and natural peppermint oil that gives skin a tingly fresh feeling after using. Buy at ULTA.
8. Finding Ferdinand Custom Mini Lipstick Sample ($6)
Sure, lipstick makes for a great stocking stuffer but so many of them are on the pricier side and choosing the right shade for someone else can be a daunting task. Thankfully, Finding Ferdinand has created a way to order mini samples of custom designed colors. The creamy and highly pigmented formula of these lipsticks keeps lips hydrated with a natural and shiny finish. They also are super affordable at just $6 and are approximately .04 oz. Buy at FINDINGFERDINAND.
9. ARDENCY INN Modster Eyeliner Trio ($29)
A single eyeliner pencil can set you back $30 or more depending on the brand. But today you are in luck because I am introducing the Ardency Inn Modster Eyeliner Trio, a set featuring 3 full size Modster eyeliners. The 3 best selling shades that this trio features are Black (rich matte black), Coffee (deep matte brown with a warm undertone) and Gold (metallic gold with charcoal brown undertones). The creamy formula glides on effortlessly and has a long lasting finish.
This trio is a $60 value so don’t miss out on this limited edition set. Buy at ARDENCYINN.
10. Spa @ Home by Masque Bar Oxygen Bubble Sheet Mask ($9.99)
Give your loved ones a spa-day at home with the Masque Bar Oxygen Bubble Sheet Mask. Both affordable and small enough to fit in a stocking, this mask is a must-have for the holidays. The mask instantly transforms into an oxygen-rich foam, cleansing skin of pore-clogging impurities. The exfoliating formula helps to prevent future blackheads by removing all dirt and oil from deep inside pores, while also helping to brighten and achieve an even skin tone. Buy at TARGET.
