The holidays are here! Have you finished your shopping? If you’re still scrambling for the perfect gift for that beauty-lover in your life, you may want to consider one of these top 10 beauty products that make super stocking stuffers.
1. The essential stocking
If you’re really behind on your holiday decorating, make up for things by updating the mantle with some faux fur Christmas stockings. Pier1’s snow leopard faux fur stockings combine contemporary style with the holiday tradition. ($17.46)
2. Travel brush sets
Brushes are essential for a cosmetologist, so they always make a great gift to freshen up an existing set. A special collector’s edition in a striking keepsake case, such as bareMineral’s Swept Away mini brush collection makes it easy to carry brushes anywhere. ($26)
3. Nail polish
Every cosmetologist knows that her hands are one of her most important tools, so keep things festive and fun with a nail polish set. Julep has combined their top twelve colors of 2015 all in one collectible gift box, making this a gift that that can be used all year long. ($48)

A lip color palette is an excellent gift, and MAC’s Pro Lip Palette in editorial reds will give her six shades of sumptuous lips that are easy to carry on the go. ($40)
6. Dramatic eyes
A kit that focuses on dramatic eye makeup can be a great gift for those special occasions that call for dressing up. Make Up For Ever’s Lash Show Kit includes everything needed to boost lash length and create dramatic eye definition. ($22)

Bring an extra sparkle to the holidays with a shimmering powder that makes skin glow. Lush’s Fairy Dust Sparkling Powder will give an added shine and a pleasing scent to skin all day (or night) long. ($6.95)

For hair care between washes, a dry shampoo can help reduce the build-up of oils that leaves hair flat, while making sure the hair stays clean. Aveda’s Shampure dry shampoo is a great choice for natural care. ($30)
