  • Hard Candy Holiday Stocking Stuffers 2017







    It is seven days until Christmas. One week. And to say I’m excited would be the biggest understatement I have ever spoken on this blog. I am beyond excited. I just can’t wait. But I still need to get through my last final first before I can really start to celebrate. I think school should end the first week of December so you can have the whole month to do Christmas festivities. But hey, no one seems to agree with me. Eh, just wait until I’m president (or prime minister, I guess).

    So, with Christmas just one week away, I’m sure the majority of you are in a mad panic to get your Christmas shopping done. But don’t you worry, here I am to save the day. Hard Candy came out with an extensive holiday collection this year and they have an abundance of stocking stuffers. (Check out this post to see some larger gift sets as well!)

    Lip Gloss Duo

    This lil’ lip gloss duo fits the definition of a stocking stuffer exactly. It’s small. It’s inexpensive. It’s the perfect thing just to throw in so they have another thing to open. Plus it’s also an ornament so you can hang it on your tree. Make a whole tree out of lip gloss ornaments. That’s the dream, y’all.

    Look Pro! Eyeshadow Palettes

    I am a huge fan of these eyeshadow palettes in the cutest metal tins. They have a bunch of varieties, including the Glitter Eyes set and the Metal Eyes set. The Glitter shadows are packed full of, yup you guessed it, silver glitter and is perfect for New Year’s Eve. My makeup is gonna bewildthis year. The Metal shadows are all chrome-y and shimmery and reminds me a lot of the Urban Decay Heavy Metals palette, but for a fraction of the price. You can’t beat that.

    Fierce Effects Daring Lip Kit

    Who needs Kylie Lip Kits when you can have this Hard Candy one? This is the cutest tin ever with a lip liner and a dual ended lipstick! The lipstick is super cool with a glossy berry end and a matte, nude end. The lip liner’s shade is in the middle of the two lip colours so it can easily match either. It’s also fun to combine the two lip shades for a ultra trendy ombre lip!

    Look Pro! Face Sticks

    With highlighting and contouring being one of the biggest trends in cosmetics for the past couple of years, I was super excited to see that Hard Candy came out with some cream highlight and contour sticks! The first set is all about highlighting with two illuminating and strobing sticks. One is a light pearly white shimmery shade and the other is a golden, darker shade to ensure you get the perfect flow for the holidays! The second set comes with a matte cream highlight stick to enhance all your features and a darker matte contour stick to sculpt your face!

    Have a Ball Lip Gloss

    The last lil’ stocking stuffer is the perfect addition to any person’s stocking. It’s the cutest lip gloss ball ornament. These come in a variety of scents and shades, but of course, mine is raspberry because y’all know I have an obsession with all things raspberry. It’s a shimmery purple and smells like raspberries. It’s not the best lip gloss I’ve ever tried but it’s cute and fun for the holidays, ya feel?

    The entire Hard Candy Holiday line can be found at Walmart.
