Is there anything better than waking up on December 25th to find a bag stuffed with beauty at the end of your bed? I think not! Whether you're playing Secret Santa for a beauty fiend, or just writing your letter to Lapland, here are the beauty bits I think everyone should find in their stockings this year.
A Lush Bath Bomb: Because everyone deserves a little pampering, right? Pictured above is the Big Bang Bubble Bar, a new favourite of mine, but you can't go wrong with Yog Nog, or So White. Most of their bath bombs are under £4 so it's a super reasonable way to bulk up a stocking (and get it smelling good too!).
MAC To Go: MAC stores have started adding a few baskets of doom near the tills, travel size wonders to tempt you in at the last minute, and I'll admit to being unable to resist their allure. There aren't many beauty junkies who wouldn't love to find a mini Mac Pigment in their Christmas stocking, they're £10 so not the cheapest, but despite being travel size, it's unlikely you'll ever run out! I love the shades Vanilla and Blue Brown, they are universally flattering! They also do miniature Cleanse Off Oils too, which are worth picking up.
Lush Lip Scrub: We've all got dry lips this time of year, so a little jar of lip scrub is a great addition! At under £5 they are super reasonable, and the Santa one smells (and tastes) of cola bottles. Win win.
Lip Balm: Because a girl should have a lip balm in every coat and handbag at this time of year for lusciously soft lips.
Soap and Glory Sexy Motherpucker Gloss Sticks: These have been repackaged and repriced to be dinky and £3.50, so hell, you can buy all five shades! These are an awesome gloss lipstick hybrid, they look glossy on the lips but aren't sticky and last well too. Bargain.
Nail Polish: A girl can never have too many nail polishes. I like the super budget friendly Rimmel Salon Pro Line, wide brushes, glossy formula, quick drying and awesome colour range. And at under £5, not bank breaking either.
Hand Sanitizer: Sounds boring but hear me out on this one. Hand sanitizer is one of those really useful things that you never have on you when you want it, and always forget to buy in Boots, so pick up a yummy smelling one for their stocking. I love the Bath and Bodyworks, Aesop and Cowshed ones.
Caudalie Beauty Elixir: A princess product that every girl should have in their handbags as an afternoon refresh. You can even get this in pretty Christmas packaging that you can hang on the tree.
Mini Bumble and Bumble Products: Bumble and Bumble products are pricey but worth every penny, and luckily, most of the line comes in generous travel sizes so you can try things out before you buy. I reccommend the Surf Spray, Don't Blow It & Brilliantine.
Bamboo Bodycare Hairdrying Wrap: Available from Feel Unique, this is one of those seriously useful little things that every girl needs. A mini towel that's shaped to wrap your hair up easily, and it's super absorbent material helps cut down drying time. You won't know what you're missing til you have one.
Aromatherapy Associates Bath Oil: For a little splash of luxury. Again, Space NK do these in Christmas packaging you can hang from the tree!
Mini Candles: There is no girl in the world who has too many candles! I love these mini festive candles from H&M, they smell amazing and they're only £1.99 each! Bargain!

I hope that helps!
