I hit up so many amazing holiday previews recently and from SpaceNK (who by the way is offering some great discounts and has a curated holiday page HERE), Sephora (my complete Sephora guide is HERE), Ulta to department stores and beyond here are some of my favorite beauty stocking stuffers I’ve scouted:
Cricket Hair Tins, $8.95
Fun tins holding anything from 75 bobbi pins to 50 hair ties with fun sayings like “IF AT FIRST YOU DON’T SUCCEED, FIX YOUR PONYTAIL AND TRY AGAIN.” (that one includes a pack of 50 black hair ties) to “LIFE STATUS: CURRENTLY HOLDING IT ALL TOGETHER WITH ONE BOBBY PIN.” (which contains 75 bobbi pins in that tin). They have a few other funny saying tins, and as someone who’s always traveling and looking for hair ties and bobbi pins, this set is a total winner!
Kevyn Aucoin The Neo-Trio Palette, $58 ($25 if you hurry!)
Drop everything, Sephora has dropped the price of one of my must have palettes of the season!
