The Best Last Minute Beauty Product Gifts and Stocking Stuffers

Need some ideas for last minute beauty gifts? These are some of my favorite beauty products and tools that I’ve tried and love – and I’ve tested A LOT of beauty products! I’ve included luxury beauty splurges and budget-friendly picks to help you finish your holiday shopping. And since many of these products are on sale for the rest of the month, it’s a great time to stock up for yourself too!

Velour Beauty Plant Fiber Lash Kit

I love how easy it is to put on lashes with Velour’s beginner-friendly clear lash adhesive pen. The Plant Fiber Lash Kit comes with Butterfly Effect Plant Fibre Lashes which are really light, comfortable and natural-looking (and Glue & Go Pen). Read my review of these lashes and Glue & Go Pen here.

Bath and Body Works Dry Shampoo

This is one of the best dry shampoos! You probably are already familiar with many of Bath and Body Works’ products, so I wanted to share a tip about a product you might not be familiar with – Bath & Body Works Dry Shampoo. It comes in scents that smell amazing like Champagne Toast, A Thousand Wishes and Japanese Cherry Blossom – and it really works! I’m always on the hunt for a great dry shampoo and this is one of my absolute favorites! Bath & Body Works has some deep discounts available right now, so I highly recommend adding this product to your shopping cart when you buy gifts at Bath and Body Works.

Beachwaver Glitter B1

Beachwaver is a great curling iron that spins on its own, making creating beach waves easy! It comes in a range of designs which also makes it a great gift. For instance, the latest limited edition Beachwaver comes in fun red glitter design. Some colors have already sold out, so get them while supplies last!

Beautyblender Makeup Sponges

These are just the best makeup sponges and you can find them in cute holiday packaging options. There are currently some great discounts available at Sephora and Ulta.

Benefit Hula Beach Vacay Duo and Beach Vacay Butter Balm

Hula Beach Vacay blush/bronzer duo is the perfect size for travel and features Hoola bronzer and shelle blush! The duo is also available in a variety of other popular shades. While you’re at it, I also love Beach Vacay Beach Butter Balm if you’re looking for a gloss to complete the look.

Catrice Cosmetics Melted Sun Cream Bronzer

Perfect for a sunkissed glow! Catrice is a great budget-friendly beauty option for stocking up on beauty essentials.

Coola Classic Body Organic Sunscreen

Hopefully, you’re going somewhere warm and tropical this holiday season. Even if you aren’t, you always need a good sunscreen! I love Coola’s sunscreens and they all smell amazing.

COSRX Clear Pads and Vitamin E Sunscreen

These help you finish your makeup removal routine while adding an acne-fighting toner.

Essence Makeup Lash Princess and  Pure Nude Baked Blush

Another already affordable brand with great products. This budget-friendly mascara is AMAZING. I’ve been asked if I was wearing false lashes when wearing this! I also love the brand’s Pure Nude Baked Blush. These blushes are highly pigmented and give you a natural glow. 

Ellis Brooklyn Vanilla Milk

Vanilla Milk is one of my favorite scents from Ellis Brooklyn. The brand has a nice selection of scents to help you find the perfect scent for yourself or a loved one!

ImPRESS Color Press on Manicures

My hand with ImPRESS nails that I quickly put on in under 5 minutes.

Realize your nails look terrible 5 minutes before you need to go somewhere? These press ons are the perfect last minute nail solution. They are already fitted with tabs so you can apply them really fast and your nails will look just about salon-perfect. Here were some that I put on in record speed just before an event I had to attend.

Kopari Aluminum-Free Deodorant in Coconut

This is the best “clean” deodorant I’ve tried. I love the original scent! If you are in need of a “clean” deodorant for all of your holiday festivities, this is a good one.

KVD Good Apple Full-Coverage Transfer-Proof Serum Foundation

This foundation is amazing! It’s pretty much the only foundation I use now. It doesn’t look cakey like some other full coverage foundations, lasts, has a really nice finish, and photographs well.

Philip B Peppermint Magnolia Flowers Collection

This is one of my favorite scents, and it’s available in a Detangling Mist, Volumizing Conditioner, Volumizing Shampoo, and Hair Mask. If you haven’t tried Philip B’s refreshing Peppermint Avocado Shampoo yet, it’s also a great choice!

PUR Lip Chubbies

These are my favorite lip pencils. These are moisturizing and come in shade options that give your lips a natural pigment-rich lip color.

Marco Pelusi Color Moisturizing Shampoo and Hydrate Conditioner Duo

Celebrity hairstylist Marco Pelusi’s collection is designed to protect color! I love this duo for keeping chemically-treated hair looking healthy and vibrant. Follow @Marcopelusi on Instagram to stay in the loop for sales and discounts.

Stila Microtip Liner, Suede Shade Liquid Eyeshadows, and Sculpt & Glow Palette

Stila’s fall collection is gorgeous! It includes neutral and coffee-tone lipsticks. It also includes 90’s inspired colors for eyeshadows and eyeliner. I’m a fan of the microtip eyeliners and the Suede Shade liquid eyeshadows. Sculpt & Glow All-in-One Contouring & Highlighting Palette is a great palette that includes everything you need to color, sculpt, contour, illuminate, and bronze.

Shiseido Limited Edition Eyelash Curler

This is Shiseido’s best-selling eyelash curler which has an edge-free design that prevents pinching. I haven’t tried it yet, but it’s highly rated and I do need a new eyelash curler. . .

Thrive Cosmetics Color Stick Bronzer

Great for creating a warm healthy-looking, bronzed glow. It features a built-in brush to help you blend it out.
Tower 28 Make Waves Mascara

I love the shape of the mascara brush which makes this clean, buildable mascara easy to apply. One of my favorite mascaras.
