Between my mom, auntie, older sisters and younger cousins – all appreciators of the best in beauty – stuffing each others’ family heirloom stockings has become a tradition. From hand cream heroes to perfectly tinted lip balms, we lovingly see stockings as the chance to introduce each other to personal favourites found throughout the year. With just over a week until Christmas, take a peek at the items I’ll be stuffing in my loved ones’ stockings, across all beauty categories. —Julia Dumbrell

STUFF THIS SKINCARE
Garnier: Micellar Cleansing Water and Eco Pads
From the number one micellar water brand in Canada, the Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water is available in a stocking-friendly travel size ($3). Pair with the Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Eco Pads, thoroughly cleaning with no harsh rubbing or cotton pad waste ($9).

A multipurpose product, this fast-absorbing and lightweight serum targets everything from dark spots and uneven skin with niacinamide, collagen peptides and natural moisturizing factors.
Dermalogica: Biolumin-c Vitamin C Serum
A serum which certainly brightened our year, the Dermalogica biolumin-c vitamin c serum enhances skin’s natural defense system to help dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles ($56).
MINI MAKEUP
NARS: Afterglow Tempting Eyeshadow Palette
With nine striking eyeshadows, discover a dreamscape of colour with the new NARS Afterglow Tempting Eyeshadow Palette ($66). We love the reflective glitters in orchid, rose, and tan tones, which build and blend for ethereal eyes.
Ardell: 3D Faux Mink 854
Ardell inspires festive lash drama with the stocking-stuffable 3D Faux Mink 854 ($18). The bold lash features spiky lengths for a feathered and natural winter look.
MERIT: Balm Blush
An incredible cream tint that melts into skin, the MERIT Balm Blush offers lit-from-within color that stays flush all day ($41). We appreciate how the touch of color enhances natural beauty, without covering up skin texture.
Rhode: The Peptide Lip Tints
The rhode peptide lip tints offer restorative treatment with a hint of tint ($19 per lip tint). In delicious shades like espresso, raspberry jelly and toast, the products take care of the lips while adding a touch of glam colour.
