7 Fun Stocking-Stuffers For Beauty Junkies

As a child, I have to admit that my stocking was usually an afterthought to me.  I mean–when there’s a Makit and Bakit Oven to be played with on Christmas morning, I wasn’t really too concerned with my Lifesavers Storybook-filled stocking!  Eventually I would notice my stocking and be like–OH!  THERE’S CANDY IN THERE!  Guess I better open it…

Decades later, I still believe in Santa Claus and now I find my stocking much more interesting.  Here are some fun stocking stuffers fit for a Beauty Junkie!

bareMinerals Keychain Kisses — Three of the cutest mini-glosses with an interchangeable keychain in Wild Honey, Cassis, and Spice Cake.  If you haven’t tried a bareMinerals 100% Natural Lipgloss, you must!  They smell and taste like a glazed donut…yum!

Urban Decay 24/7 Hi-Fi SetOne of the BEST eyeliners around in my opinion is the Urban Decay 24/7 pencil.  They glide on like a dream and have incredible staying power!  The Hi-Fi set includes four of those babies in mini-sizes and a full-size Heavy Metal glitter eyeliner in Distortion (opalescent pearl).  This set will fit in a stocking and totally rock!

Les Tai Tai Model Mirror — Well excuuuuuuuuse me!  Tell everyone how you really feel when you whip out this uber-cool compact mirror with a fun phrase or image on the case.  (“Excuse Moi” happens to be my favorite of the bunch.)  The LED lights will ensure a perfect touch-up even in the dark!  These are pretty exclusive since they’re based out of the UK and are new in the states.  It’s fun to have something that everyone else doesn’t have…yet!

Borghese “Allegra” Nail Lacquer Mini Kit — The micronized gemstones in these limited edition mini nail polishes are so glam!  Perfect for nail art or New Year’s Eve nails, these will be a fun treat in a stocking on Christmas morning.

Pureology Signature Celebration Pure Volume Petites — A few of my favorite Pureology products in 2 oz. minis are perfect for travel or a great way to introduce yourself or any Beauty Junkie to the phenomenal haircare line.  Pure Volume Shampoo, Conditioner, Blow Dry Amplifier, and Essential Repair Split End Correcting Treatment (.5 oz.) are an awesome way to experience it!

Korres Plum Colour Collection –  There’s a whole lotta awesome tucked inside this little bag!  Full sizes of popular Korres faves Plum Cherry Lip Gloss, Plum Lip Butter, and Plum Eyeshadow make a pretty little gift.  Hydrate, protect, and glamify with this amazing Greek line!

Twist & Pout Lip ClipKiss your dry, winter-y lips goodbye with these little cuties!  Beeswax, Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Kukui Nut Oil, Aloe Vera, and Vitamins C & E are just a few of the pout-protecting ingredients you’ll find in these adorable lip balms.  A yummy citrus-honey flavor makes the natural formula complete and perfect for gifting!
