Stocking Stuffers! | Blogmas Day 3.

[If you’re wondering where Day 2 is, I’m still getting pictures for it, so patience!]

It’s December, so obviously everyone would start thinking about Christmas and what presents to get for everyone.

If you want some tips or an easy way out, carry on reading this post!

stocking stuffers

Crabtree & Evelyn Holiday Hand Care Set of 3. 

At 25g each, it’ll be a great stuffer as they’re small and you get to stuff 3 stockings with just ONE product!

Downside, they aren’t in the permanent line so if anyone loves it and wants to get it, better do so before the holidays end!

Available here.

stila lip glaze set

Stila Color Me Glossy Lip Glaze Set. 

These come in a pack of 3, which in turns come in another pack of 3!

At the back of the label of the mini packs, written on it is a “to: ____” and “from: ___” which is great!

If you’re feeling a little less generous, you can always open the pack up, take 1 lip glaze and put a ribbon on it, there you have it!

Who can pass on a Stila lip glaze? No one.

Available here.

ciate tree trinkets

Ciate Tree Trinkets.

How cute are those mini nail polishes? They might seem more like Christmas tree decorations, but it’ll be cute to find one of these in a stocking!

Plus, they come in a set of 6. That means you get to have 6 stuffers in just one box.

The ball casing also provides the receiver with a chance to express their creativity and use it for next year’s Christmas!

Available here.

sephora lollipop lipgloss

Sephora Lollipop Lipgloss.

This is more of aesthetic purposes.

A little lollipop with the bling and glitz, it’ll be rather interesting to find it in a stocking!

Available here. 

coffee bean mug

Joy To The World Ceramic Mug.

How cute is this mug?

It’ll be great for anyone! Especially those tea / coffee addicts. Great for hot cocoa during the winter time!

Available here.

bacon bandaids

Bacon Bandages. 

I know, this is nothing “festive” and absolutely unrelated to Christmas, but I thought this was pretty quirky and cute!

Everyone (almost) loves bacon and it’ll be so funny to have a bacon wrapped around your finger!

I think it’ll be especially appreciated by the younger kids.

Available here.

ikea gift card

Ikea Gift Card.

Honestly, I love the Ikea food centre. Meatballs and salmon and all those good stuff always leave me wanting more!

Also, there are so many cute items in there that I’d love to buy, so I thought this would be amazing for the recipient to receive as it’ll be really useful!

Available here.

lush chocolate lip balm

Lush Chocolate Whipstick Lip Balm. 

This would be amazing for all chocolate lovers!

It comes in a cute packaging as well, I feel like all the Lush lip balms are great as stuffers.

Their lip scrubs are amazing as well!

Available here.

starbucks tumbler

Starbucks Stainless Steel Tumbler.

Who can pass up on a green tumbler?

I’m not sure how this works, but when you bring a Starbucks tumbler to a Starbucks outlet, you get something in return with your order.

  I personally think that it’d be a pleasant surprise to receive this – especially for those Starbucks lovers!

Available here.

Nigellissima

Nigellissima.

For those mother’s or aspiring MasterChef’s (even juniors!), I think that this recipe book would be amazing for them.

With sooooo many recipes in there, it’d be a dream for those who absolutely love cooking.

(You can get them to cook for you too!)

Available here.

Alright, so here’s just a few ideas on what to get as stocking stuffers!

Hope you’ve enjoyed this post and found it useful!

(Dream) Shopping!

Ever had one of those afternoons where you’re just sitting in front of the computer and just scrolling through Sephora, Forever 21, Cherry Culture or Pacsun?

Yeah, I’m in one of those afternoons. Then I wondered, What’s the bill that I’ll rack up if I shopped at “high end” places like how I would if I were at a dollar store.

Wow. 

sephora

I went pretty crazy here.

Sephora list

Sometimes I wish I was a teenage girl in a rich family living in L.A.

But oh well, I’m happy with the family I have!

YSL Cream Blush? Hell yeah. The packaging and color, l-o-v-e.

Sephora list

YSL Touche Eclat, W-A-N-T.

Stila, Benefit, YSL and Nars are my current favorite brands.

Sephora list

Those items in the pictures above are the things that I would pick (and really want) if I were to shop at Sephora like how I do at drugstores.

Total bill?

Sephora

I could actually go on a holiday with that amount of money!

These are the moments in which I wished I never knew about high-end products.

First world problems? Definitely.

Now at drugstore.com :

Sephora

I love Not Your Mother’s! Just ordered a sea salt spray, can’t wait for it to arrive.

drugstore

I feel as though the Physicians Formula baked eyeshadows are a knockoff of Chanel’s eyeshadow quads.

drugstore

Love the maybelline color tattoos.

drugstore

I never knew about the CoverGirl clump crusher extensions! Sounds so cool, does it mean the mascara’s clump free and would lengthen my lashes?

drugstore

drugstore

L’Oreal Visible Lift Blush, never came across that, but it seems pretty promising.

It’s a light rose gold shade and rose gold is always amazing in makeup.

drugstore

I’m not sure if it’s me, but I feel like I need many shades of the same lipstick.

And peppermint lipgloss? I need it.

I adore everything peppermint and I’m always on the verge of overdosing on candy canes.

drugstore

I love that berry shade. I don’t know why I have not got my hands on the stain yet though.

Total bill?

drugstore

^And I had over 40 items!

Pacsun. 

pacsun

Cute shorts, but I don’t have the legs to wear them, oh well!

pacsun

Love the middle skirt, it can totally funk up an outfit.

pacsun

The jacket can give a totally different vibe to an outfit.

It should be a staple in every girl’s closet.

pacsun

Moto jackets? Yes please.

pacsun

Yay to midi rings! I remember seeing some from H&M, a pity I didn’t have cash with me at the point in time.

pacsun

The fox ring is just so adorable.

Total bill?

pacsun

Which is approximately USD 1079.39

More expensive than my Sephora makeup!

Shocking.

I have now found an excuse to why my wardrobe is still so boring.

But honestly, I really need a revamp. My closest’s boring me out.

Nasty Gal.

The second dress is perfect for a night out with the girls. Not exactly practical for everyday use though, unless you throw on a jacket.

The green bling shoes is perfect for spunking up a plain outfit.

I really need a bag, I only have 2 bags that I use a lot at the moment. 

Both of which are from Crumpler. 

I want something that slings and is big as well.

Total bill?

I find it pretty expensive, since there’s only 14 items. 

But they’re of the higher end brand, so I shouldn’t quite complain. 

This totally inspired me to go on a mad shopping spree to change my closet because I really need new clothes. 

Alright! That’s all I have for today, my eyes are so tired from looking at all the clothes and makeup, shocking. 

Stay tuned for my next post! 

EXCITED!

I was on instagram today and I saw that Urban Decay is coming out with Naked 3. 

I’m so excited! The colors are amazing and I love how it’s rose-hued. It’s the kind of palette that should be in every makeup bag as it’s suitable for a day to night transformation.

Gorgeous! It’s definitely getting in my Christmas wishlist. Or even for my birthday.

Wishlist

I chanced upon Sephora’s website while searching for makeup and oh my, so many items I wish I owned.

20130817-233011.jpg
Ahh, the ever raved about Naked palette. 1, 2, or basics, everyone has heard about it. I think this palette is really versatile and can be used for an everyday look. Pretty!

20130817-233234.jpg
Super sleek! I really like the color and shimmer as it’s really neutral and the glitter gives a bit of a pop for the eye.

20130817-233348.jpg
Benefit Cosmetics. I cannot quite get over them! Their packaging is super adorable and attractive, fun and playful. Especially this tint, I’ve been wanting it since I saw an ad when I was 11. Yes, 11.

20130817-233538.jpg
I think this palette can have quite a few uses! The pink can be used as an eyeshadow and blush, the white can be a highlighter.

20130817-233751.jpg
Yup, another Benefit! An attractive coral pink and leopard prints on the packaging! Not to mention the tropical feel on the cover. Love in a box.

20130817-233954.jpg
Yves Saint Laurent blush! I think cream blushes give a more natural finish compared to powder blushes, perhaps because of the fact that your skin will absorb the product and settle in nicely, instead of being caked and sitting on your skin.

20130817-234408.jpg
Heard a lot about Clinique! Especially their moisturizing lotion. This however caught my eye, simply because the BB cream is pink in color. How adorable?

I think I’ll end here for now, there are so many products you’ll get bored. It’ll be up soon, stay tuned!
