Last Minute Beauty Gifts and Stocking Stuffer Ideas!

OK so Christmas is right around the corner and truth be told, some of us just can't get ourselves together and finish our shopping already!  By some of us i mean me of course!  Listen, this is absolutely the craziest time of year for me.  I know it's crazy for you too but seriously, between planning the girls birthday, plus all the parties, girls' activities, shopping, blogging, working, maintaining the house, i seriously feel stressed and spent.  That's why i decided to take a moment and jot down some fun gift/stocking stuffer ideas for my favorite ladies!  I hope this helps you narrow it all down!  

Hard Candy has some wonderful and inexpensive stocking stuffer ideas that i think are so fun for the teenager in your life.  This lip gloss set can actually be taken apart and gifted to three different girls! Great value if you ask me!  Or you can opt for these fun disco ball lip balm ornaments because they're just too cute to pass up!

Did someone say Deborah Lippmann nail set with a super cute sparkly pouch for only $12???? I'm sooo on that!

OK so forget that this set is actually called Summerstash Sephora Favorites!  I purchased this set a while back and couldn't believe the amazing value.  Now it's on sale for only $30 and if you don't take advantage of this you are totally missing out!  It features products from NARS, Urban Decay, Josie Maran, Stila, Marc Jacobs, Deborah Lippmann, OCC... seriously, do i need to go on?? 

I love Tarte and this contouring kit is sooooo makeup pouch perfect!  Oh and it's only $24! I know I'd be a happy girl if Santa left this beauty in my stocking! 

It's no secret that i'm a die hard IT girl!  This limited edition Buki set is just sooooo gorge!  OMG Santa... are you listening?!  OK focus Carla, this is not about you... it's about gifting your loved ones! 

This Tatch Camellia Moisturizing Lip Balm has been my recent go-to balm. It's incredibly luxurious and feels soooo amazing on my lips.  Besides, who doesn't love the fact that it's layered with a 24 karat gold leaf sheet?! 

Whatever gifts you decide on, i wish you all who celebrate the Merriest of Christmases together with your loved ones.  Xo, Carla

Sephora Summer Surge - My Haul

When i first learned of Sephora's Summer Surge event, i jumped at the chance of earning FOUR times the points!  I mean, as a VIB Rouge Member, this is just one of the many perks! If you're not a VIB Rouge, no biggie... VIB's get 3 times the points and Beauty Insiders (anyone can sign up for free BTW) get 2 times the points! You see, it's a win-win situation!  My mission was to accumulate enough points (1000 to be more specific) to score the 1000 point Marc Jacobs (full size) lippie set!  Mission accomplished!  It's gonna be a great mail week around here!  Oh and FYI, Sephora's Summer Surge ends Sunday so act fast!  Here's are the details of my haul!

Beauty Blender Micro Mini - I was stoked when i saw this new launch. It's the same favorite beauty blender that we all love but much smaller making it perfect for concealer application or highlighting/contouring!

Phillip Lim for NARS - I've wanted these for a while but kept forgetting to pick them up! I cannot wait to swipe these on my nails! I picked up the shades 'Dark Room' and 'Crossroads'.

Tarte's Be Charmed Limited Edition Eye Lash Curler equipped with a deluxe sample of their awesome Lights, Camera, Flashes mascara!  I love my current rose gold tweezerman eye lash curler but when i saw this beauty, i simply couldn't resist purchasing it!  It's seriously gorgeous and will look amazing on my vanity!

Sephora Collection Kiss Me Balm in Strawberry Fizz - I saw these in a magazine and knew that being the lip balm lover that i am, i needed to add this beauty to my stash... stat!

Stila Mile High Mascara - OK lots of hype on this mascara... i simply couldn't resist trying this baby out! The verdict?  I'll keep you posted!

Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-Con No 7 Plush Shadow Palette in The Siren 210 - I mean, could you resist these gorgeous jewel tones? Didn't think so!

Sephora's Favorite Summerstash - Seriously, this was the deal of a life time.  I personally am not ready for summer to be over so i think I'll still get plenty of wear out of the wonderful assortment of products in this pretty little pouch!  

Marc Jacobs 1000 point lippie set - I'm SO EXCITED i can hardly contain myself!  I accumulated enough points to get this beauty which BTW includes TWO full size lippies! Can i get a woooohoooo?! 

So i wanna hear about YOUR Sephora Summer Surge haul! Spill it! 

Thank you so much for reading! Xo, Carla - FMM
