The holidays will be here before we know it, and the shopping season is in full swing. If you are looking for some suggestions for beauty stocking stuffers, I have several to offer. Frankly, I could probably go on forever, but I promise I won’t.
Stocking Stuffers
So stocking stuffers means small, inexpensive or relatively inexpensive things that will fit in a stocking. Here are some of my ideas for beauty stuffers:
- Real Techniques Mini Eraser Sponges: These two little cuties come in so handy for applying concealer under eyes or for cleaning up the occasional shadow fallout or mascara smudge. Ulta Beauty $5.99
- Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlighter, shade Radiant Lights: I don’t like to spend a lot of money on highlighter because I don’t wear a lot of it or even wear it that often. Makeup Revolution is a very affordable English brand that I was thrilled became easily available in the U.S. a couple of years ago. Pale icy pink is my favorite highlighter shade, so Radiant Lights is perfect for me. It feels buttery, is easy to blend and it provides just enough of a glow without looking like a disco ball. Love this highlighter! Available in other shades too. Ulta Beauty $6
- Farmhouse Fresh Hydrating Lip Balm: As I keep saying, I love everything I’ve ever tried from the Farmhouse Fresh brand. I was so happy to find that FHF makes wonderful, yummy and very attractive lip balms. I’ve tried Coconut Beach and Whoopie Pie and I can’t decide which scent I love more because they are both winners. The pretty brushed silvery tubes come in sweet printed little boxes for a very nice gift presentation. natural, cruelty-free Dermstore $15 each
- LUSH Santa Baby Lip Scrub: I wait all year for LUSH to bring out their limited edition Santa Baby Lip Scrub. I adore it because 1) it’s red 2) it tastes delicious like Coca Cola and 3) most importantly, it has adorable little edible red hearts throughout the scrub. This gift is a no-brainer for anyone who loves hearts, cute things or has dry lips. natural, cruelty-free $8.95
- Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick Duo: Like the Santa Baby Lip Scrub, I look forward to these adorable “ornaments”. I love that you get two great lipsticks in one, they’re the right size and they’re affordable. I chose the Fig and on trend Rose Gold duo that I wrote about in my recent Sephora haul here. I bought one for myself and one to give as a gift. They come in a several shade duos. natural, food-grade ingredients, cruelty-free Sephora $14
- Assorted Masqueology Facial Skincare Masks: I think these Korean single use sheet masks made from natural fibers are a bargain at $2.50 each, now sold at Walmart stores and online. We’re talking a high-end K-beauty brand that you can also get at Dermstore in a much pricier version, actually 10 times pricier. They come in several different types, and so far I’ve tried 4 of them: Special Care Cream Mask, Collagen Lifting Cream Mask, Vita Clarifying Cream Mask, and Moisturizing Cream Mask. They all have been great for my dry skin. There’s also an Anti-Blemish Mask and a Brightening Mask. Some varieties also come in a 3 pack. Buy a few and wrap them with a pretty ribbon.
- Besame Lipstick Minis: These mini lipsticks that you can tuck in your smallest pocket are the cutest things ever! Several historic shades of red plus a pink and a neutral make up this adorable stocking stuffer or a stand-alone small gift. Reviewed in my Sephora haul here. I love my set! cruelty-free Sephora and Besame $25
- Glamglow GravityMud Firming Mask: I just received this deluxe sample of the Glamglow GravityMud Firming Mask in my Sephora Play bag, and I am hooked! This mask is unlike anything I’ve ever tried. First, it is silver. It made me look like the Tin Man which I think is awesome. You leave it on for 20 minutes and then peel it off to reveal the smoothest skin evah!! The full size comes in a jar (1.4 oz.) for the regular price of $69 – a little pricey for a stocking stuffer, IMHO. But if you can go for it, by all means do! I found a site that I’ve never purchased from (Beautydeals.com) that sells the deluxe sample and it’s on sale through today for about $18. Ebay also sells the sample.
So there you have it! Some of my beauty recommendations for stocking stuffers. Are any of these on your list?

Allison, thanks for all the ideas. I have two granddaughters who love makeup. Every year for Christmas I give them a “goody” bag of makeup. Some of these items will be making their way into their bags. Thanks for sharing………??❤️ ???
Oh, you’re welcome, DiEtta! I’m glad you found a little inspiration in the list. That Santa Baby Lip Scrub is too darn cute, so maybe that’ll make your list. Thank you for sending me the scarf/hood pattern. I may just give that a try. I have a couple of hood/cowls, and about a million scarves but I’ve never made a combo like this! It looks easy, and I know I have yarn in my stash I could use for it.
These are real great ideas, Allison! I have been wanting to pick up MUR products as it’s sold where I am working part time but I’m waiting for my employee discount card to arrive! LOL!

Employee discount! the magic words. Dying to see what you’ll pick up! Is your job permanent or just for the holiday season? I hope you’ll enjoy it.
It’s a long term job, not just for the season but I work 4 hours for 3-4 days a week so it leaves me plenty of time to be with my little one which is important to me. I’m hesitant to send him to daycare but at the same time I want to work again because I miss earning my own income. This job lets me do both which is great! 🙂

That sounds perfect, Shireen. 4 hours is just long enough. It’s good that your son gets to do some socializing with other kids, and then you two get to be together the rest of the day. Plus you get some time with adults and doing something that hopefully you enjoy. How nice that it’s a makeup involved job!
Give me all the Lush and I’ll be set!

Bailey, I’m not sure where they will be in Canada. These are sold at Ulta Beauty, and I’m not sure if they’re exclusive or just being introduced at Ulta first. They are such a good deal compared to the Beauty Blender versions.
I want the Lush and I never want Lush. But their lip scrub is terrific and it has hearts and it tastes like Coke. I wish I could go to the mall.
I have those masks and they are great, especially for the price.

Oh, I need to know more about what you mean about LUSH, lol! And I listed the exact same things about the Santa Baby Lip Scrub! I hope you’ll get that cast off next week and be able to go to the mall! The masks are fabulous for the price. In fact, many of the SKUs are sold out on walmart.com. Not surprised!
I have the real techniques mini sponge and use it everyday!

I love stocking stuffers! I have a post going up soon featuring some great value items I found at Target. That mini lip set and the makeup revolution item are really great!!
Julie recently posted…Silver & Black Eyeshadow: Go Raiders!
I love the Bite Beauty mini duos too! Makeup Revolution has some great products. Also, I had no idea the Santa Baby lip scrub tasted like Coca Cola! I know it’s a cult favorite and it’s on my list to try.
Kristina recently posted…$10 and Under Beauty Gift Guide
Yes, it definitely tastes like Coke! I know you’d love it, and your little girls probably would too 😉
I’d love to see those goodies in my stocking, for sure. A full size of the Gravity Mud is on my Santa list. 😀

That GravityMud mask is unbelievable! I am hunting for the best price coz I need this Glamglow!!
Those stocking stuffers are perfect, especially FHF lip balms. Anything from that brand makes a wonderful gift!

Those all look like such cute gifts. I really am excited for new RT sponges and can’t wait to try them out, so those would make a great gift for sure.
I love several of your beauty stuff stockers including the lip balms, BITE, and RealTech sponges!! I like items that last and a little universal across the beauty board & taste!

Thanks, Ursula. I tried to pick stocking stuffers that are affordable (mostly), useful or pretty!
