What a year! The holidays are finally here! And while we’re doing our best to make sure the products we feature will arrive in time, shipping times are especially tricky this year, so we suggest shopping as early as you can.
Stock and shipping times can vary depending on where you live, which product you purchase, and more. So order earlier than you think you need to and be sure to double-check the retailers’ websites for shipping information to ensure that your gift will arrive in time for when you need it.
1. Mini Nars Creamy Concealer brightens under eyes and T-zone with a medium to full coverage that'll quickly become a makeup staple. If they're a total workaholic and need to fool everyone into thinking they got a full eight hours of beauty sleep, this stocking stuffer is for them.
2. L'Oréal Voluminous Primer Mascara goes on white and adds additional fibers to lengthen and thicken lashes. (If they've been saying they want lash extensions, add this to their stocking.)
3. Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask provides a solution for dull and dry skin with vitamins, ceramides, and antioxidants. With a creamy consistency, this mask gives a deeply hydrating experience great for the winter season or any skin that needs some TLC.
4. Tweezerman Slanted Tweezers precisely grab any rogue eyebrow hairs or hold false lashes for easy application. These 25-degree-slanted tweezers ensure each hair pulls out cleanly at the base instead of breaking off halfway down (which can cause ingrown hairs...ouch).
5. Lovoir Eyeliner Stamp Pen assists if they need a quick and easy way to pop on the perfect winged liner.
6. Stila Glitter Liquid Eyeshadow dries down to a sparkly eye look that'll look like it took them hours to achieve. This glitter liquid shadow will make its way into all their holiday makeup looks (especially New Year's).
7. Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder sets makeup for long-lasting wear so there's no under-eye concealer creasing.
8. Beautyblender eliminates carrying a bunch of brushes. This handy sponge can apply foundation, concealer, setting powder, blend contour, cream blush, and can even be used to touch up makeup "oopsies" like messed-up winged liner.
9. Lapcos Sheet Mask Set is available in a variety of scents like aloe vera and red wine. A red wine mask in their stocking and a bottle of red wine under the tree? A gift-giving master right there.
10. Haus Laboratories Lip Gloss (from Lady Gaga's beauty line) sparkles as the cherry on top of their makeup look. Help them give their pout a break from the matte liquid lipsticks and opt for this shine-inducing option instead.
11. Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer smells like a tropical beverage and lives up to its name. Its buttery texture glides onto the skin for a sun-kissed glow that'll have everyone fooled that they just came back from a vay-k.
12. Freck XL creates lifelike freckles wherever the formula is placed. Decide how heavy or light to apply the cluster of faux freckles (to their own liking), lightly tap so they blend into the skin, and ~bam~, all-day beauty marks that look realistic as heck.
13. Maybelline SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick lasts for up to 16 hours on the lips (literal sorcery). With an overabundance of shade options, they'll have a new go-to lipstick for every day of the week that's matte and highly pigmented.
14. Glossier Cloud Paint functions as both a blush and lip color for those who love natural-looking makeup and want something fuss-proof.
15. Beauty Pie Wondercolour Nail Polish gives nails a gorgeous sheen with its coconut oil-infused formula. It's free from seven toxic ingredients that are used in most regular nail polishes.
16. Slip Scrunchies make putting hair up in a pony or bun way less painful and less crease inducing. They're made from mulberry silk and nontoxic dyes. Plus how adorbs is this bauble they come in?
17. Dr. Squatch Cold Brew Soap exfoliates skin with a caffeine-infused formula that smells like coffee and brown sugar. It's a gift that gives back! For every bar sold, they make a small donation to the Fire Dept. Coffee Foundation.
18. NYX Matte Finishing Spray works hard to keep makeup lasting all day. If they prefer a matte makeup look, this will be their go-to finishing spray.
19. Tartelette Juicy Amazon Clay Palette offers a wide variety of stunning eyeshadows that make a slew of looks achievable. From a romantic pink smoky eye to a bronzed neutral look, they're sure to be obsessed with the entire palette.
20. Touch in Sol No Poreblem Primer soothes and smoothes pores so their makeup will have the perfect base for application. This will give their makeup an airbrushed finish.
21. Uncommon Beauty Triple Effect Eye Cream reduces the appearance of puffiness and dark circles — aka if they're a workaholic, this may be the perf gift for them.
22. Too Faced Christmas Coffee Mini Palette makes for the perfect travel-sized option for their shadow looks. Also did we mention it smells like coffee?!
23. Color Cleaner Sponge works wonders when switching between different eyeshadow colors. This will make it easy to swap between different colors without mixing them or having to use a dirtied-up brush!
24. I Dew Care Hydrating Lip Mask kisses chapped lips goodbye with its moisturizing formula. Here's to a plumper pout. When the brisk winter weather hits, they'll thank you for popping this in their stocking.
25. CND SolarOil conditions cuticles with almond oil and vitamin E so they can say goodbye to dry skin. This also helps strengthen, nails especially if they're an avid acrylic or gel wearer.
26. Nyx jumbo eye pencil doubles as a liner and an eyeshadow base for brightening colorful pigments. If they want to start experimenting with cut crease eye looks this pencil will make it easy to carve out a precise line.
27. Heated Eyelash Curler lifts lashes in place of expensive perming for the most glam of lashes. All they gotta do next is pop on their fave mascara then get ready for loads of people asking where they get your lashes done...
28. Eyeshadow shields easily stick on to the under-eye area to prevent shadow fallout and are also the perfect guide to drawing winged liner. Nothing is worse than that stunning glitter getting stuck to the cheeks and peeking through foundation.
29. Esarora Ice Roller helps depuff the skin (particularly around the eyes) for a soothing, early morning wake up.
Them when they open all the fab new beauty products you added to their stocking...
