With the holidays upon, I wanted to post some gift ideas that may help you. I am truly struggling this year with Christmas gifts for my parents – they’re the only ones I have left to buy for… so unfortunately this list I have for you, doesn’t help me one bit LOL

Anyways! I hope that you can find something on this list for your loved ones.

Real Techniques Miracle Cling Pocket Organizer – $14.99 CDN
This single pocket organizer clings to mirrors, lockers, and other glossy surfaces. It gives any space some extra storage. You can use the pocket for your makeup brushes, hair accessories, and pens, pencils, markers and so much more. It can even be reapplied after removal. I have mine stuck to my bathroom mirror, where I’ve placed my brushes within reach. You can even buy one with 3 pockets. Available in Pink or Grey at Rexall.

Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge with Travel Case – $10.49 CDN
This Beauty Blender dupe is a staple in my professional kit. It works the same, if not better. You can read my full review of the sponge here. I love the idea of it having a protective case – it’ll keep your sponge cleaner and it’ll be easier to travel with! Make sure to let the sponge air dry fully before putting it back in it’s case to avoid bacteria growth. Available at Rexall.

EcoTools Daily Defined Eye Kit – $16.99 CDN
This eye kit comes with a great storage tray and 5 eye brushes.The brushes include a large shadow brush, an angled crease brush, an accent shadow brush, a liner brush, and smudge brush. EcoTools has other brush kits available, too! Available at Walmart and Rexall.

Physicians Formula Color Me Healthy Velvet Liquid Lipsticks Kit – $14.95 CDNThis kit has a retail value of $60. It includes 13 mini versions of The Healthy Lip Velvet Liquid Lipsticks collectionan an LE full-size Healthy Lip Transformer in Opalescence. The transformer can be worn alone or layered on the Velvet Liquid Lipsticks to change the finish from semi-matte to metallic. I love how versatile this lip kit is at such an affordable price.

StriVectin Let It Glow Kit – $89 CDN
I’ve been using Let It Glow because I loved the nia114 technology in their body care so I wanted to try it on my face, too! I use the Hyaluronic Dual-Response Serum twice a day for hydration and plumping. The Glycolic Skin Reset Mask is to be used once or twice a week for 5 minutes each time and it leaves my skin feeling smooth, without texture, with little-to-no discomfort. StriVectin has 3 holiday kits including all full-sized products. The other two kits are Lift Your Spirits ($99) which includes their best-selling neck cream, and Laugh Off Lines ($89) which is for fine lines and wrinkles, including an awesome eye cream.  Available at Shoppers Drug Mart
