AHHHHHH….. Christmas is ALMOST HERE and I am sitting here buying a few last minute gifts so I figured I would share some of my favorite makeup gifts and products with you all!
Makeup Wish List:
I. Eyes
Morphe 35W & Neutral Eye Shadow Palettes – Both of these palettes are so reasonably priced with 35 colors each and I wear them everyday!
Too Faced – STARDUST Palette – This palette is a collaboration of Too Faced and Vegas Nay and has 12 stunning matte and shimmer shadows, loose glitter pigment, deluxe sizes of Shadow Insurance and Better Then Sex Mascara! This is a $192 Value and it really is a steal for $45
What would a Christmas Makeup List be without a NAKED palette and the NAKED Smoky Palette is one that I am dying to get! This palette is all about Smoky Neutrals and they are my absolute FAVORITE! The palette even comes with a guide to 4 amazing looks you can recreate as well as a double ended brush for application!
KAT VON D – Shade + Light Palette – KAT VON D Products are my new obsession! This palette is the first of its kind because it is created to transform eye contouring. There are the neutral, cool and warm tones to flatter every skintone!
“The true inspiration behind the Shade + Light Eye Contour Palette comes from all these years of trying to understand the usage of shadows and light within the portraits I draw.”—Kat Von D
KAT Von D Tattoo Eyeliner – This is on the top of my list to try this Christmas! I have heard RAVE reviews on this liner and it has a innovative brush tip for precise application and from what I hear, it is one of the best for getting that PERFECT wing!
Bobbi Brown Gel Liner in BLACK – THIS is my FAVORITE eyeliner, currently! This eyeliner is put on with a small angled brush and it is easy for me to draw a wing and if I mess up, fix my mistake before it dries. This is just a great overall gel liner!
II. FACE
Champagne Pop Highlight – I know, I know… I keep raving about this one, but GET IT!!! I already want another for Christmas (I am a huge makeup stockpiler 😉 ) You can NEVER have too much highlight!
Besame Cosmetics Brightening Face Powder Set – This is my new FAVORITE setting powder for my concealer because it has no shimmer! This powder smell just like VANILLA!!! IT is velvety and brightens my under eye and t-zone! This is a new product for me and I really love it!
Nars Orgasm Blush – The blush name may sound a little vulgar 😉 , but its such an amazing peachy pink perfect for ANY skin tone and has the perfect amount of gold fleck to set it off! This is a blush I have been using this blush for YEARS and it never get old!
III. Cleanser / Mask
CLARISONIC: I have the Mia Sensitive Skin $99 brush and I am obsessed! I pair mine with the Purity by Philosophy Cleanser (which I have linked right below) and my face has NEVER looked better! This amazing brush truly cleanses the skin of dead skin and my fine lines are disappearing! It gives you that clean face that your moisturizer can penetrate!
Purity by Philosophy Face Wash – THIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING!! I have rarely found a gentle cleanser that also takes off ALL of my makeup (including eyeliner), but this product does just that! Go ahead and splurge on the larger size ( I wish I had) because you are going to LOVE it!!
Boscia – Perfectly Poreless Collection – this is a new brand for me, but I have heard amazing things about it and recently discovered one of my FAVORITE makeup artists, Jaclyn Hill uses this mask for her skin. I can’t wait to try the Luminizing Black Mask

I love Champagne Pop but I ended up returning it because it didn’t work with my skin tone. Love all your recommendations!
