Holiday Gift Guide: Stocking Stuffers – Part 1

Time for another gift guide! Today I’m sharing some of my favorite stocking stuffers including everything from lip gloss and hand cream to nail polish and a great water bottle.

 

• bareMinerals Give it a Twirl: I love the Marvelous Moxie Lipgloss line from bareMinerals and this gift set gives them a fun twist. It comes with two glosses in vibrant, complementary colors. The first combines Trailblazer (nude gold) with Hot Shot (flamingo pink) to give you Creamsicle (creamy pink). And the second pairs Stunner (pure magenta) and Rebel (pink mauve) to get Fuchsia Fizz (magenta mauve). I was already a big fan of Hot Shot, so I was excited to try these out. {bareescentuals.com, $18}

• Juice Beauty Green Apple Age Defy Hand Cream: My hands have been so dry this winter, so I’ve been keeping a hand cream in my bag at all times. This one helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles with Vitamin C, while also giving you hydrated, soft hands from aloe, jojoba and shea butters. {juicebeauty.com, $12}

• SpaRitual Home Collection: These sparkly colors are perfect for the holiday season. There’s a gold (Finding), red (Authentically) and green (Home), but they’re not your traditional holiday colors. For a holiday party tonight, I’m pairing Finding with glittery bright purple Living for a fun yet different look. {sparitual.com, $12 each}

• Tarte Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara, Precision Longwear Liquid Eyeliner and Inner Rim Liner: I’m a big fan of switching up my mascaras depending on the day or occasion – and I also love layering different mascaras – so that means I have a lot of them. I had heard great things about this mascara but for some reason had never tried it until now. I have to say that I love this mascara and liners. The mascara is lengthening, curling, volumizing andconditioning, and the liquid liner is easy-to-use, which isn’t the case with many I’ve tried. And the inner rim liner does exactly what it says, instantly brightening up your eyes and making you look wide awake. {tartecosmetics.com, $20 – mascara, $20 – eyeliner, $19 – inner rim liner}

• Hydro Flask Insulated Coffee, Tea and Water Bottle – 18 oz: Water bottles are one of those things that I use all the time but I don’t want to spend my own money on. I do love a good water bottle though, especially when it comes in lots of fun colors like this one does (pick from nine different ones!). Hydro Flasks come in other sizes as well, but this one is perfect for coffee and tea on your morning commute. It actually keeps your drink hot for up to 12 hours or cold for up to 24 hours. Better yet, it’s made from environmentally friendly materials, is 100% recyclable, toxin and BPA-free, and comes with a lifetime warranty. {hydroflask.com, $25.99}

• Kari Gran Lip Whip: I recently tried out Kari Gran’s skincare line (more to come on that after the holidays!) and also go to test out Lip Whip. It’s a tinted lip balm that comes in two flavors: Peppermint and Cinnamon-Pimenta Berry. It’s great for everyday use because you can wear it alone for moisturizer and a subtle tint or pair it with lipstick for even more color.{karigran.com, $15}

• ChapStick Holiday Collection: I swear I am constantly trying to protect my lips from getting too dry and chapped at this time of year. These festive holiday flavors include the traditional ChapStick in Peppermint and Pumpkin Pie and my personal favorite, the MixStick Vanilla Candy Cane Milkshake. {chapstick.com, $1 – $2.69}
