The holidays are just around the corner! I’m always amazed at how quickly they arrive, especially when summer seems to extend all the way through October here in LA! I usually like to start my holiday shopping early so I can be relaxed and take advantage of all the sales this time of year. As the holidays get closer, I’ll be posting gift guides so you can get inspired! I love finding cute little gifts for my friends and loved ones, so I thought I’d start my holiday gift guide series with stocking stuffers!
1. Formula X Effects Nail Polish
Nail polish is always a great stocking stuffer! This Formula X iridescent rose gold is festive without being too predictable, I’ll wear it to all my upcoming holiday parties! It has an amazing rose gold shimmer that looks gorgeous in the light! I love how the sparkle is subtle, so it goes with everything. I really like how it looks with this gray knit sweater, it adds such a gorgeous shimmer! Formula X nail polish is super long lasting, so I know that I won’t have to worry about it chipping. I actually wore Formula X nail polish on my wedding day since it lasts so long! Check out a similar color from Formula X here.
2. Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara Ornament
Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara is one of my faves! This mini gift size comes in little ornament box that’s so cute for the holidays. It’s a great gift for any makeup-obsessed friends! (You can use it as a stocking stuffer or hang it as an ornament!)
3. Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray
This Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray one of my essentials! It’s the perfect size for travel and helps your makeup stay fresh all day long. (It actually lowers the temperature of your makeup so that it doesn’t melt off, which is perfect for crowded holiday events!)
4. L’Occitane Travel Sized Hand Cream
This L’Occitane Travel Sized Hand Cream is so luxurious! The travel size comes in lots of different scents and they’re the perfect size for stockings! I throw one in my purse and one in my car so that I’m always covered.
5. Invisibobble Original Time to Shine Collection the Traceless Hair Ring
Seriously, these Invisibobble Original Time to Shine Collection Traceless Hair Rings are lifesavers. I’ve always used traditional hair ties, but these are game changers. They don’t crease your hair or ruin your styling and they stay put!
6. Sephora Sleeping Mask
This gel mask is perfect to use during the holiday season! After harsh weather and some holiday indulgence, masks always make my skin feel refreshed. (I might have to keep a few of these for myself!)
7. Sephora Mini Cream Lip Stain Set
As you all know, I’m a huge fan of any sort of matte lipstick. This mini lip stain set from Sephora has four gorgeous shades of lipstick that are perfect for the holidays and beyond.
8. Nars Travel Size Radiant Creamy Concealer
Any makeup lover knows that concealer touch ups are necessary throughout the day! This travel sized Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer is one of my favorites to throw in my bag for a little extra coverage.
9. Jack Black Jack’s Pit Stop Travel Set
Of course I couldn’t forget to pick up something for the guys! This Jack Black Travel Set has a cleanser and deodorant for use on the go! It’s great gift for guys who like to travel or who like to go from the gym to work! (Shhhh, don’t tell KB!)
10. Voluspa Maison Blanc Mini Tin Candle
Okay, so I know this isn’t a beauty product, butI just got this Voluspa Mini Tin candle and I love it! The metallic tin is so adorable and it smells amazing. I’ll light this candle while getting ready—it’s such a nice, relaxing touch!
Are you ready for holiday shopping?

I was just in Sephora the other day trying to figure out what I could get for under 20$! I’m still debating between getting a mini nars concealer or a mini mascara haha xx :)
Also Sona: I have darkness in the inner corner of my eyes and I was wondering if you could recommend a good product for that. I’m not sure if I should go for a the cult favourite nars concealer, or maybe an apricot
-toned colour corrector instead? Thanks xx

I’ve been very tempted to try those L’Occitane hand creams, and after seeing this post and reading all the comments I’m going to have to snag a few! Those Sephora masks are a great idea too ❤️.
The nail polish is gorgeous! And oh my gosh, I’m stalking my mailbox waiting for your gorgeous eyeshadow palette to come!!! I can’t wait!
Oo, I needed some xmas gift ideas for my family and friends! Thanks for the post. I kinda want to get some of these things for myself too…whoops—I always end up buying presents for myself too lol.
That nail polish colour is so pretty! It’s a great Christmas stocking stuffer! Thanks for the suggestion!
OMG…I love the nail polish color. I think it’s DEFINITELY #1 for a reason…haha. I have to for sure try this nail polish if it doesn’t chip. I know that this is a gift guide, but I’m still on the hunt for finding a nail polish that doesn’t chip on my finger nails. Thanks for the recommendation, Sona=). Also, I’m really liking the rings and midi-rings that were pictured.
Sona, for the L’Occitane Travel Sized Hand Cream, how is the moisturizing level? My mom has dry hands, especially during the cold season here in Orange County.
I love formula x, that nail polish color is so pretty, I need it. I only have the cupcakes and cashmere collab and Aimee song ones, they are more spring and summer colors. Great post, can you please do one for the fashion lover?
I love L’Occitane; their products are such necessities in the winter!
Could you do a post on your favourite L’Occitane products. Love the brand and would like to know more about their skin care lines.
Thank you Sona for the great recommendations. These are amazing ideas and they will not break the bank. Perfect!
Such cute and fabulous gift ideas! Thanks for sharing with us
Love these !! Esp anything sephora.
I would love to receive make up as a gift. Haha
Good post! Love u!
