Keep reading for stocking stuffers that will keep the holiday sparkle alive well into the New Year.
Every serious trendsetter needs a good lip kit (or six). Our new Crimson Butterfly lip palette is absolutely perfect for slipping into a stocking and is guaranteed to make its way into your bestie’s everyday bag.
The palette comes in a sleek black case stamped with a gorgeous SHEGLAM x Crimson Butterfly logo. It includes six different shades: Spirited, Moth, Cicada, Larvae, Danaide, and Alula. These shades can be worn individually, for a subtle pigmented lip tint, or blended to create a stunning ombre look. (We recommend blending Cicada and Alula for a dark, vampiric pout.)
Best of all? This lip palette is vegan and cruelty-free. That’s a slam-dunk stocking stuffer if we’ve ever seen one.
If you grew up watching The Powerpuff Girls, you’re going to love this one. Straight from our The Powerpuff Girls x SHEGLAM collection is the Tough Love Shimmer Blush in shade Utonium – AKA a stocking stuffer so cute it’s got us kicking our feet and giggling.
This tiny blush compact is hot pink (of course!) with our three favorite superheroes kicking butt on the front. But the best part is the actual blush itself, which comes in an ombre, three-dimensional heart shape.
The shades range from a pale pink to a sparkling rose, making it easy to recreate the pretty flush you’d get from fighting bad guys all day. We think Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup would approve.
Every MUA needs a good setting spray. Every fan of Rick and Morty needs THIS setting spray – our adorable, green Rick and Morty x SHEGLAM Pickle Rick Setting Spray. The spray bottle is an instant conversation starter and adds a touch of silliness to any makeup bag (and stocking).
Plus, we’re pretty proud of this formula, which has been carefully crafted to be free of silicones, parabens, alcohols, and talc. No irritating, dehydrating ingredients to be found here, only moisturizing cucumber extract and glycerin that will keep your skin glowing and your makeup sat all day long.
Straight from our brand-new Hello Kitty x SHEGLAM Collection, this Coastal Charm Cream Blush is the perfect size to throw in your most glamorous friend’s stocking.
Choose from shades Ocean Breeze, Sun Suit, Tripi-cool, and Friends Trip, each of which comes in a winking Hello Kitty case. The cool thing about these blushes is they’re a cream-to-powder formula, meaning you can apply them with a finger on the go and easily build up pigment for whatever level of flush you prefer. Plus, the shades blend seamlessly together and have a matte finish.
Trust us: No matter how stuffed their makeup bag is, your trendsetter bestie won’t be able to pass up this product!
No trendsetter is more iconic and well-known than Marilyn Monroe, which is what makes our Poet’s Lover Liquid Eyeliner the perfect gift for the beauty queen in your life. This black liquid liner has been formulated for maximum staying power no matter how late you dance into the night, and the extra-fine tip makes trying out Marilyn’s signature double cat-eye a breeze.
We’re pretty excited about the product design, too – the eyeliner pen is shaped like a feather, and the bottle is stamped with a reminder of one of Marilyn’s most well-known quotes: “We are all stars.” Whether your trendsetting bestie is a poet, lover, or movie star at heart, there’s no doubt this eyeliner will steal the show this holiday season.
What’s better than one long-lasting, ultra-sultry matte lipstick? Try four. Our Dynamatte Boom Long-Lasting Matte Lipstick Set is both explosively sexy and a beautiful one-of-a-kind gift for the beauty guru in your life.
The set includes four matte lipsticks – Bliss, a soft taupe; My Beloved, a wine red; Cherish You, a mauve pink; and Passion, a dusty rose. The four lipsticks come in a collage envelope box packaging with a faux wax seal closure, and the lipsticks themselves are enclosed in an elegant red and black casing.
What we love most about these lippies is their long-lasting and non-transferring nature. Apply your lipstick of choice, give the product a few minutes to set, and voila – that color will stay all night long. The alcohol, paraben, and silicone free and Leaping Bunny certified formula is just the cherry on top.
Behind every perfect pout is a makeup artist’s secret weapon: The lip mask. Moisture and hydration are absolutely key for the smooth application of lip products, and just like the rest of your face, a high-quality mask is the best way to seal in that moisture and prime your lips for other products.
That’s why we can’t get enough of our Harry Potter x SHEGLAM Magic Cauldron Lip Mask, an adorable little cauldron you can easily bring with you wherever you go. The lip mask is an enchanting lavender shade while in the cauldron but applies transparent, so you can wear it with any makeup look – no need to worry about clashing colors here.
What makes this lip mask so magical, though, are its hydrating properties. Formulated with vitamin E and meadowfoam seed oil, this mask nourishes any dry lips and then locks in that moisture for a pout pretty enough to cast a spell on everyone around you.
Your trendsetting bestie probably has a million lip products, but we doubt they’ve ever had one quite like this, which makes it the perfect stocking stuffer.
Channel your inner Funshine Bear with this adorable Care Bears x SHEGLAM Catch Some Fun Highlighting Puff in shade Sparkle4Ever. The fluffy puff ball comes in a lovely baby pink and doubles as a sweet accessory, especially with the handle loop on top, which is convenient for hanging or attaching to a key chain.
If you don’t mind us bragging for a bit, what makes this highlighter so unique is that the puff ball IS the highlighter applicator. Simply fluff it onto your cheeks, collarbones, the tip of your nose, or wherever else you want to highlight, and the fluff ball will deposit a sheer, super-concentrated glitter sure to turn heads.
Whether your bestie grew up with the Care Bears or simply has an affinity for makeup, this highlighter will make it abundantly clear just how much you care.
You can’t gift your friend a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory, but this chocolate-scented eyeshadow palette just might be the next best thing.
With six different delectable shades ranging from pale cream to a deep almost-black, this palette is the ideal mix of matte and sparkly shadows to create a huge range of eye makeup looks.
The formula is super buildable and packed with cocoa butter and sodium hyaluronate, AKA hydrating ingredients that lock in moisture and nourish your skin. Best of all, it smells so good that all you need to do is close your eyes to be transported to Willy Wonka’s Factory. (Oompa Loompas not included.)
At SHEGLAM, we believe everyone deserves to have high-quality, flattering makeup without breaking the bank. That’s why we put so much thought into the design and formulation of our products – even our minis come with a lot of personality!
So whether you’re stumped about what to get your glamazon bestie or just need something cute to throw into their stocking, take a look at our collections. We’re confident you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for, even when shopping for the trendsetter who has it all.
