It’s that time of year again. You know, when every beauty-lover’s focus shifts from Halloween to Christmas. Whether you’re looking for stocking stuffers or just little gifties, this list should guide you on your way. Here are our top 5 picks, plus one.

1. Philosophy Red Velvet Cake Stocking Stuffer Duo – $15 at www.philosophy.com – This set includes a 4 oz. shampoo, shower gel & bubble bath and a .5 oz flavored lip shine. Split them up or gift them together.
2. Benefit Lust Dusters Trio – $10 at www.sephora.com – These are shimmery loose powders that can be used for the eyes or face. GoGo Girl is a pale pink, Big Daddy is bronze, and Moon Doggie is mint green. Once again, these can be gifted individually or as a set.
3. Urban Decay Limited Duo – $14 at www.urbandecay.com – This is one you won’t want to let slip away! Urban Decay suggests layering Stagedive Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner over Covet 24/7 Eye Pencil, which are both gorgeous peacock greens. Snatch it up fast, because as it is listed under UD’s R.I.P. section, this product could disappear fast!
4. Carol’s Daughter Sugar Coated Sweethoneydip Bath Bomb – $7.50 at Macy’s – We love this because not only are they fairly inexpensive, but they LOOK yummy (although we advise against eating them.) They are described as, “A fizzy skin softner for your bath; infused with natural butters, essential oils and detoxifiers.” Chocolate, honey, and vanilla bean sounds delicious to us, but also check out their other scents.
5. Dior Best in Show Mini Mascara Duo – $18 at Sephora – This duo includes a .17 oz DiorShow mascara and a .17 oz DiorShow Blackout mascara. We think this is a perfect gift for any girl who wants to try DiorShow but is freaked out by the normal $24 price tag. Can once again be divided between two glam ladies or gifted together!
And that’s not all!

Jack Black It’s The Balm Lip Trio – $19.50 at www.beauty.com – Of course you want your man to have kissable lips, and it’s Jack Black, so even the manliest of men won’t think this lip balm is too “girlie” (my ex LOVED Jack Black… but don’t tell him I told you!) This trio includes 3 .25 oz SPF 25 lip balms in Natural Mint & Shea Butter, Vanilla & Lavender, and Lemon & Chamomile. We think it’s the perfect little something for your someone special.
