For the holidays, Paul and I will do stockings for each other and then don’t do big gifts for one another. It’s a fun way to spoil each other with our “favorite things” while staying on budget and mindful. We throw a few surprises in there for each other, but we also send each other ideas like, “Hey, I need my favorite pens for work!” I’m not sure if you do this with your significant other, or if you TAKE ONE FOR THE SANTA CLAUS TEAM and stuff your own stocking- I mean, really…it’s for the kids. You’re being selfless. You gotta keep the magic going for them. 😉 But today, I’m spilling my stocking and sharing my TOP beauty stocking stuffer recommendations from Walmart.

Stocking Stuffers from Walmart

1. L’Oréal Air Volume Mascara: Drugstore mascara wins all day every day in my book. L’Oréal get the gold medal, as I’ve never tried one of their mascaras and disliked it. I just tried their Air Volume Mascara per the recommendation of my friend, Emily. If you usually like to layer mascaras for a volume effect, get this! You don’t need to layer at all. Two swipes and you’ve got lashes that look like falsies!
2. Laura Gellar Dripping in Gold Highlighter: Laura Gellar is one of my favorite makeup brands for powders. The highlighters and eyeshadow palettes are a dream and blend incredibly well. I got hooked on her eyeshadow when I was pregnant with Maxi and too sick to want to spend time on my makeup before shooting. I just remember being shocked that I could apply it so haphazardly and it looked great 7 hours later. This is like a little Christmas ornament that you can put on a tree with 3 of her highlights- which are amazing.
3. Lipstick Queen Gloss Trio: It’s a bit rare that a makeup set has all colors I would use, and this Lipstick Queen Gloss Trio is just that. If you love pink, or know a girl that loves pink, this trio is for her. A little trick is to put a light, shimmery gloss in the center of your pout {not all over} and it gives the effect of a really full lip. These glosses work perfectly for that hack.
4. e.l.f. SRSLY Satin Lipstick: Get this lipstick in “Créme” and it is so similar to MAC Creme d’Nude or MAC Fleshpot. If you are fairer like I am, it’s the perfect cool-toned nude! I top it with the gloss from the Lipstick Queen Trio in “Time Warp.”
5. Laura Gellar Gilded Honey: When it comes to LG products, the shade “Gilded Honey” is my favorite. I got the highlighter when I was pregnant with Maxi, and was so obsessed with the glow it gave. This gift set has the Gilded Honeyhighlight, gloss, and illuminating body mist!
6. L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise Holiday Set: You all know my loyalty to this mascara! I have repurchased it more than I repurchase sliced bread. This set has the primer and mascara in it. If you feel like you never luck out with drugstore beauty purchases, this mascara will change your mind about that.
7. NYX gloss: Most of the time when I purchase a luxe lipgloss, I wonder why. NYX gloss has ruined me and created the highest standard of gloss. ha. It’s creamy, not sticky, lasts for hours, and actually has great pigment. I love the shades Créme Brulée, Tiramisu, Angel Food Cake, and Madeleine.
8. eos Balm: Maxi thinks eos Balm is her lipstick, and from the time she was 18 months she has always walked around with the balms in her purses. With flavors like cotton candy and champagne, I’ll take this set just for mama!
9. OPI don’t bossa nova me around: This is one of my favorite nude polishes for nails and toes! It’s this creamy nude that almost looks white, but has a pink undertone! It’s a bit hard to describe, but it is absolute perfection. It looks just as great on nails as it does on toes.
10. NYX Contour: If you’ve ever asked for a drugstore contour palette, I have recommended this one. In fact, typing this right now, I want to order another. It was the first palette I truly loved for contour and I realized you use it so much differently than a bronzer. The shades are all cool toned!
