Last Minute / Stocking Stuffers Christmas Gift Guide | 2017

Can you believe it’s only 10 days until Christmas morning? I’m completely done with all of my present shopping and wrapping (thank goodness!) but I’m all too aware that many of you probably haven’t even started yet! Today’s post is all about my top recommendations for last minute gifts/stocking stuffers that will fit perfectly into any beauty lovers Christmas presents!

BYS Cosmetics – an affordable brand that’s going from strength to strength this year with their on-trend releases, they’ve hit the glitter trend hard with some of their current offerings! Pictured here are their Bubble Balm, Intense Shine Glitter Lipgloss, Glitter Liner Duo & Glitter Face and Body Kit.

Mecca Cosmetica Enlightened Trio  – Mecca have some amazing holiday offerings this year as I’ve shared in my other gift guide posts (linked here and here) and this one absolutely tops my must-haves list – so much so that I broke my budget and snapped it up for myself! They have two versions of this trio – the Fair version which is featured, as well as the Warm version which is perfect for darker skintones. The highlighter shades are incredibly pigmented and the formula is very flattering on the skin – the packaging is also super luxurious and I think it would be perfect for any beauty lover’s top gift!

Real Techniques Miniature Ornaments – the moment I set my eyes on these miniature brushes my heart was set on having them in my collection. Real Techniques brushes are available in Priceline stores across the country, and these two miniature brushes have full sized heads and packaging that’s perfect to pop on the tree Christmas morning or add into a stocking!

Louis Vuitton Key Pouch in Monogram – Definitely one for those who are looking to spend a little more on someone, the Key Pouch from Louis Vuitton in Monogram is the perfect introductory designer piece or addition to someone’s accessory collection. This key pouch has a variety of uses – perfect to use as a key holder or as a wallet – I have mine to attach onto my keys with extra cards and money for days where I just want to grab my phone, keys and go – it holds a deceptively decent amount of items inside and would be such a beautiful gift to receive! (It’s what I got for myself this year!)

BeautyBlender Midas Touch Ornament – I’m a big fan of dual purpose gifts, and this addition from BeautyBlender is perfect. Containing a full sized BeautyBlender (aka the best makeup applicator out there) and a miniature of their solid cleansing soap (perfect for brushes) it comes customised in a cute little ornament that can be tried to the tree. I’ve tested this and once the product has been removed you can easily re-use the packaging, making it easy to hide treats in for next year or even creating a customised bauble for the tree. I think this is such a perfect gift!

Lush Santa Baby Lip Scrub – I love Lush, it’s no secret. I have a full post coming very soon all about their Christmas range this year (spoiler alert, I love it and you need it all) but their Santa Baby Lip Scrub is such a perfect little stocking stuffer to receive. The lip scrub tastes like candy when licked off the lips, and the formula stays good for at least 12 months – it’s something that anyone from a sister to a grandmother (or grandfather, I’m not one to judge!) would absolutely love.

Nyx Angel Veil Primer – One of Priceline’s best selling primers and Nyx’s best selling products worldwide, the Angel Veil Primer has finally hit Australian shores and it’s one to snap up! It’s suggested to be a dupe of the Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer and is sure to be a hit in anybody’s stocking!

Nars Man Ray Love Triangle – currently out of stock online but still available in most stores, one of Nars’ holiday releases this year are their Love Triangles – each containing a deluxe sized blush and lipstick in some of Nars’ most iconic shades. Pictures is the Orgasm Blush & Orgasm Lipstick duo – there are another four varieties to choose from and this would be absolutely ideal for any beauty lover – Orgasm is one of the most well-loved blush shades worldwide!

Say it With Polish Customisable Nail Polish – Customisable products are a hot trend that doesn’t appear to be leaving anytime soon, and the Say it With Polish customisable nail polishes are an absolutely beautiful gift to open up in any stocking come Christmas morning. The packaging is girly and elegant, and you are able to customise each bottle – choose the shade and the message and they’ll do the rest! I’ve been testing out their formula recently and I’m actually quite impressed and highly recommend this as a gift option for any occasion!

CoverFX Custom Blot Drops/Cover Drops/Custom Enhancer Drops – CoverFX is an incredible brand that I don’t believe gets nearly enough hype in the beauty world. They have some incredible products that are fantastic quality but are of a higher price point – making them a very special gift to receive this Christmas. I have featured their Custom Blot Drops (that absolutely work a treat!) however I also recommend their Custom Cover Drops (create your own perfect coverage) and their incredibly pigmented Custom Enhancer Drops for any makeup fanatic!

Antipodes Skin Duos – I have loved every single Antipodes skincare product that I’ve ever tried – which is pretty incredible, because I am extremely fussy when it comes to skincare products. They currently have miniature skin duos which combine two deluxe sizes of some of their best products currently on the market – I’m particularly excited by their Skin Brightening Minis – I’m obsessed with their Manuka Honey Mask (it does wonders for the skin!) so I’m excited to try the Manuka Honey Skin Brightening cream!
