I’m often asked what hair and makeup products I recommend or that I prefer to use. So, in light of the holiday season, I’ve put together a list of my favorite things – think Oprah, but with a lot less screaming and no free cars.
I think that any of these items would make excellent Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers and I’ve tried to include ideas that would fit into any budget.
Not only does this stuff smell amazing, it has fantastic hold and doesn’t leave your hair feeling heavy, sticky or stiff.
Dust It Texture Powder from Schwarzkopf
Great for all hair types, this product creates texture and volume with an ultra-matt finish, so your hair won’t look greasy or heavy by the end of the day.
Bio-Ionic Whisper Light Blow Dryer
A little on the expensive side, but it is worth it. This dryer is super light and much quieter than a typical hair dryer. It also helps eliminate fly-aways and reduces dry time.
Small and lightweight, this flat iron is great for everyday use or packs away easily for travel. The amazing technology helps keep hair smooth and straight without frizz or damage.
Incredibly versatile, this palette of 12 neutral shades lets you create an array of gorgeous day or evening looks. It will be your go-to shadow collection – I promise!
Don’t let the naughty name fool you, this blush is pretty and sweet. The color is peachy pink with a golden shimmer and has a silky texture.
Super girly pink, this lipstick is very creamy and simply gorgeous.
Available in a bevy of shades, this gloss is incredibly high shine (providing a glass-like look) and long lasting. It’s great on its own, or over lip pencil or lipstick.
Smashbox Photo Finish Primer for Eyes
This product is absolutely amazing! Wear it alone or put it on before applying eye shadow for a flawless look that stays. There’s a reason this product consistently receives top ratings.
Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Color-Full Plumping Lip Gloss
Incredibly affordable and available at most drug stores, this gloss helps plump up your lips, creating a fuller pout – without the needles! : )
Would you like to receive any of these as a Christmas gift? Do you have any favorite products that you think should be added to the list?
