Last Minute Gifts/Stocking Stuffers: Beauty and More

So Christmas is right around the corner, and you've procrastinated in buying presents, or you accidentally forgot someone, or you're nearly done you just need some extra stocking stuffers or something. 

I GOT CHU.

This post is going to be beauty and other things combined. So not just makeup but also some really cool gifts, or accessories that I like and love getting as gifts.

Starting with skincare:

• Korres Sleeping Beauties Over Night Treatment Trios. $42 at Sephora. This is in the sale section so I'd get it quickly. It has the Korres Greek Yogurt, which everyone and their uncle talks about. It has Wild Rose Sleeping Facial, which I love the Rose line so that was 2 out of 3 that I knew I would use. It also has Black Pine moisturizer, I've not used this yet. The first two are "sleeping facials" I think, and then Black Pine is a night time moisturizer. Korres has a good name in skin care so I never worry about anything I get from them. This might be a little overwhelming for someone but this is a really great set, it's also pretty nice because the Greek Yogurt alone is pretty expensive as well as their "Rose" products. So treat yo' self or treat someone else and feel good in the fact that it's a really nice gift.
• Soap and Glory Bright and Bubbly set. $18 at Ulta. Soap and Glory has a great name in body care and you get 5 things in this set. Including their infamous Hand Food lotion and The Righteous Butter which is a body butter I believe. This would be nice for those people who love lotions, or pampering their self in the bath. Plus it's fairly inexpensive.
  
• Philosophy Purity Made Simple Cleanser ornament. $11 at Ulta. This is a great stocking stuffer. I swear by Purity Cleanser when nothing else works this will. It's very simple, no fuss, not harsh, and works with all skin types. Plus these little bottles last a long time with me. Although I have finally bought the big guy now.
  
• Josie Maran Whimsical Argan Oil Color Essentials. $24 at Sephora. This is also in the sale section. Josie Maran is best known for her Argan Oil which you will get the "light" version in this. She doesn't just do skin care she does makeup as well. You will get Argan Oil Mascara, Argan Enlightment Illuminizer, Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelee, and Coconut Watercolor Eye Shadow. If you aren't sure about going the makeup route she also has a skincare essentials set for $30 in the sale section as well if you'd rather stick to that.
  
• Lastly, another great stocking stuffer is the Sephora Eye Masks. $5 at Sephora. I love Pearl and Rose, they're my favorites all though to be honest I can't tell a difference in my skin between all the other ones they have. I do think the Pearl brightens or illuminates a little more though. I like the eye masks better than the face masks and I think that someone might be more likely to try eye sheets as opposed to face sheets cause they can kinda be annoying at first. The eye sheets aren't near the hassle.  

Now for more makeup related items:

• Tarte Deluxe Amazonian Butter Lipstick Set. $21 at Ulta. You get 4 lipsticks in this. These would be great for a teenager or someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup or color on their lips. They're on the sheer side I think all thought they say full coverage, and they're very shiny almost like a gloss. You get 4 shades: Sangria (berry red), Punch (mauve pink), Mimosa (peachy nude), and Bellini (golden pink).
• Anastasia Beverly Hills Lustrous Lip Gloss Set. $40 at Macy's and Anastasia website. This is 8 FULL SIZE glosses. I have this set and it's a great deal. Individually they run $16 or so, in this set you're getting them for $5 a piece. With a really wide range of golds, shimmers, nudes, pinks, reds, and dark berry shades. It's truly an amazing deal.
• Ofra Cosmetics Long Lasting Liquid Lipsticks. These comes in great shades. I love Manhattan, Miami Fever and Atlantic City. They are almost $20 but there is a 40% off code (kathleen40) provided by Kathleen Lights. That makes them around $12 or so. These would be great stocking stuffers and they offer tons of shades from neutrals, mauves, reds, pinks, to blues and greens too I think. It's a killer mousse like formula and they smell very good as well. They don't crumble on me and they don't dry out my lips. They are my favorite liquid lipstick on the market right now.
• Sabastian Hair Sprays. On sale for $3-$8 at Ulta. I got two of the huge ones ($7.99) on Black Friday. There are quite a few different kinds to choose from. These are usually around $20 a bottle but they're on sale $8 as of right now. That could all change tomorrow. So if you wanted to get them, I would go ahead and do that. I think these would be great stocking stuffers as well.
• Becca Glow on the Go set. $20 at Ulta. This is the shade Opal their bestseller and you get a travel size Opal Pressed Shimmer Skin Perfector and also a Liquid Spotlight Wand. Both in shade Opal. This is a nice set and Becca is pretty expensive, so if you wanted to try some of their stuff but didn't like the prices I'd get this.  

Now on to some non-beauty gifts:

• The Happy Planner. This is $24.99 at Hobby Lobby, I'm telling you to order it or buy it in store from Hobby Lobby because you can use their 40% off coupon for this and it makes it about $14. This is a 17 month planner, I find that it is similar to Erin Condren planners that are so popular right now and also more expensive. I have this one and I absolutely love it. You can jazz it up with stickers to write notes or add in sheets for, budgets, meal prep, to do lists, cleaning schedules, etc. It's easy to take out the pages you don't need anymore plus you have a month over look and then a weekly over look to jot down any notes or whatever, that's broke down into Morning, Afternoon and Evening. This is rather bulky but I love that. It comes in other cover styles as well. I think for Teachers or busy moms, students, or whomever this would be a great gift. 
• Next is a phone charging wristlet. I found this one on Amazon for $35. I got mine in Leopard from Express last year and it was $50. The more expensive brand is the Mighty Purse. This has a battery pack inside that you charge up and when you go out you just take your phone charger cord with you and if your battery gets low you just plug it in and slide it into the clutch. Plus you can use the wristlet to carry other things as well I use mine all the time. My phone constantly needs to be charged. Another good item would be a Mophie case. They're around $30 but you put the case on your phone and when your phone needs to be charged you just turn on the case and it starts charging your phone, which is pretty neat. 
• I picked a few things out from Kate Spade because its a "nice' gift to get to make someone feel extra special. I actually just sent my best friend the tumbler and travel mug because she had been sickly and nearly hospitalized. These are great gifts or stocking stuffers either way and like I said they're nice gifts to receive to make someone feel a little more special. The tumblers and mugs are $18 and then I chose some of their most popular earrings. I have the Tortoise and the Navy Glitter studs they're $38 a piece but they have sales all the time, they recently just done a 30% off sale. Sign up for emails and you'll get invited to their 75% off flash sales they often do. The stud earrings come in a lot of different colors but I find Tortoise is very classic. They also offer three glitter shades in Navy, Silver and Gold.
• Speaking of Jewelry, Bauble Bar is doing their 12 days of buried baubles. Where they will have have a new buried bauble for 12 days. Today's was especially gorgeous statement earrings for $15. They have other jewelry as well in the buried baubles but again these were my favorites and they stay that price for the whole 12 days or until they sell out. They ship quickly and also don't charge you shipping or tax, which is always nice.
• One thing I love getting is socks. I love socks. I'm kinda picky though. I love crew socks that have fun colors and patterns and I love ankle socks that are thicker on the sole and white with some kind of color running through them. I almost always get my crew socks from American Eagle but right now they only have one kind and one pattern. Granted they're around $5 though. So I went to the next best thing which is J. Crew. This is also going to be one of those "nice" gifts cause J.Crew can be pricey. For a nice little extra gift though I think this would be a great stocking stuffer and I love those yellow and grey ones.
• Last but certainly not least, when all else fails get a gift card. My choice is Sephora (obviously), but Visa gift cards, or gift cards to someones favorite stores are always appreciated I think. Some people hate gift cards and never use them but that is never the case with Moi. My family always loads me up with Sephora gift cards actually and I love it. So if you can't think of anything else, or you're having to send someone a gift via mail I would do a gift card or even and egift card through an email.

So that's it. I hope that helps. I'll be doing some reviews soon and my black friday haul but I've been very sick for the past two weeks and currently been to the hospital twice so I've not been able to really get my head on straight yet.
