Who doesn’t want their stocking stuff with a few things that will make them look pretty for the new year? Heck, if I could get mine stuffed with something that would take off the inevitable 5-10 pounds I put on before the New Year, I’d love that! But since that isn’t going to happen, let me share with you some of the best gifts to give the lady in your life who may be cosmetic and beauty savvy.
1.) What woman couldn’t do with a little plump to her pout? Even those of us with fuller lips enjoy having the look of poutier, sexier lips from time to time. Thankfully, lip plumpers have come a long way, and they can really make your lips look fuller in an instant. Lip plumpers are a great “fashion accessory” that every women would love to have in her purse from time to time.
2.) Self tanners. Everyone loves the look of a healthy summer glow. But in the winter, especially in the colder, sunless northeast climes out here, it’s nearly impossible to get any sunkissed color the natural way. So a great self tanner, like Fake Bake, or Sheer Tan or Xen-Tan is a great stocking stuffer for women who like to apply these self tanners from time to time to give themselves that etherial glow.
3.) How about some nice natural soaps or hand lotions – the kind without all the nasty chemicals in them? Women are becoming increasingly aware that the lotions, cleansers, soaps and creams that they apply to their skin eventually can lead to problems within the body. Parabens, phthalates, petroleum and other potentially hormone disrupting and cancer causing chemicals have no place in body care!
4.) A new eyeshadow pallette. Every woman loves to experiment a little with color if they like eyeshadow. A huge pallette is not only easy to do this time of year since so many gifts sets are usually out, but you can also get a ton of limited edition awesome colors this time of year that you won’t find anywhere after the holiday season is over. For example, Sephora has specific holiday pallettes with really cool sparkly, vibrant colors this time of year.
5.) Hair care packages. There are lots of top notch salon quality hair products that come in reasonably priced multi packs or sample packs this time of year. I’ve gotten these for family members before, and believe me, they smile a mile wide when they realize they won’t have to pay for their hair products for a while!
