*press samples, I bought this, affiliate links*

Stockings have always been my favorite part of Christmas. I love putting special things together for my kids and husband. I think this will be the last year that my daughter believes in Santa, so she’s getting some extra special goodies this year!

I thought I’d share with you a few of my top picks for stocking stuffers for the beauty lover in your life! These are things I’d love to give OR receive, and there’s a bit of everything in here price wise.

Too Faced Melted Kisses & Sweet Cheeks

This set comes with 3 boxes of minis of Too Faced Melted liquid lipstick and Love Flush Blush. I love holiday sets like this that allow you to split them up for gifting. It’s also a great way to try new to you products, without the price of a full size commitment. Available at Sephora for $36.

Charcoal Konjac Sponge from Arithmetic

This charcoal konjac sponge is gentle enough for sensitive and acne prone skin, exfoliating naturally. $20 from Arithmetic.

NYX Matte Finish Setting Spray

This setting spray works well on all skin types for a relatively matte finish that holds up for a night of partying, or just a night at home with Netflix. $8 at ULTA.

KBShimmer Coal in One polish

This grey holo polish is gorgeous! It’s part of the winter collection, so grab it while you can. $8.75 from KBShimmer.

Pur Minerals Lip Lure in Mystic

These hydrating lip lacquers are loaded with moisture and color, great for dry lips! $22 at ULTA.

Nonie Creme Colour Prevails Multi Stick Cheek and Lip

This Baby Pink shade quickly adds a pop of color to your lips and cheeks. $13 at drugstore.com.

mycoco Nourishing Body Tonic

This tropical-floral scented coconut oil vegan moisturizer soothes dry skin, and works great on the ends of your hair and cuticles too. The scent will take you away to a tropical beach. $22 at mycoco life.

Mirabella Wanted Lip Pencil from the Jewel Thief Collection

this non drying lip pencil gives lips a perfect rosy flush. $25 from Mirabella.

Maybelline Color Tattoo Concentrated Crayon

The Color Tattoos we love, in a new easy to use chubby pencil. $6.99 at ULTA.

Guerlain Meteorites Pink Powder Brush

This super soft natural brush has the cutest ombre pink bristles, and picks up the perfect amount of Meteorites to give you a gorgeous holiday glow. $43.50 at Bloomingdale’s.

Pacifica Sugared Amber Dreams perfume roller

Pacifica’s newest fragrance is the perfect mix of rich amber and sweet vanilla. A lovely cold weather scent.

FarmHouse Fresh Marshmallow Melt all purpose shea butter balm

Deliciously sweet multi use balm is my go-to for dry skin, cuticles, smoothing fly aways on my hair. Love the soft citrus sweet scent. $12.50 from FarmHouse Fresh.

Do you see anything you’d like to give, or receive in your stocking? Have a wonderful holiday!

Top 10 Spring Eyeshadows

March 24, 2015 by daydreamingbeauty 26 Comments

*contains affiliate links, press samples, I bought this*
Welcome back to Top 10 Tuesday! Today we are sharing with you our top eyeshadow picks for Spring.

The New NYX Prismatic eyeshadows are metallic amazing-ness. Seriously, buy all that you can get your hands on! I have Liquid Gold and Bedroom Eyes (bronze), and they are beautifully pigmented, creamy and easy to blend.
I’ve been wearing my Maybelline Black Orchid Color Tattoo (reviewed HERE) so often, both as a primer and alone as a quick smoky purple eye.

Rouge Bunny Rouge is a new to me brand, but I am in love with my two treasured long-lasting shadows in Delicate Hummingbird and Abyssinian Catbird.

Mirabella’s Pink Blossom Eye Lights eyeshadow from the Wildflower collection is beyond gorgeous. This is a Prismatech shadow, but you may also be able to use as a highlight, depending on your skin tone.

L’Oreal La Palette Nude 2 is one of two newly released 10 pan shadows palettes from the drugstore. Nude 2 is on the cooler side, with purple, mauve, pink and taupe shades. The other palette looks to be warmer, and brown toned.
Paula’s Choice Nude Mattes palette contains 12 shadows that are all neutral workhorses. This palette is fantastic, for eyes, brows, all skin tones, even contouring in a pinch.

The LORAC Platinum Status eyeshadow was a gift a couple of years ago from my beauty bff, Heather of Crazy Beautiful Makeup. She knows purple eyeshadow is the way to my heart lol. Sadly, this palette was an ULTA LE, and is long gone. That makes me treasure it even more!
The Tarte eyeshadow palette is from the QVC Miracles from the Amazon collection. The 6 purple/taupe toned shadows are gorgeous, and you know I love Tarte!

I’d love to know what eyeshadows are on your top 10 this Spring! Check out the links below to see what my blogger friends are loving!

HUGE BLOG SALE!!!! (makeup, polish & perfume)

December 3, 2013 by daydreamingbeauty 36 Comments

It’s time to de-stash again! Here’s what you should know: this is all stuff that’s been purchased/swapped by me. I would never ever try to swap or sell anything that was sent from pr, or a brand sample etc. I have more integrity than that. If you know me from my blog, you already know that. ?

I will leave the sanitizing up to you. Items are from a smoke free home, kept in a cool, dark closet so I don’t feel like such a ~~hoarder~~ makeup junkie. I have cats but they do not play in my makeup or even get near it. Unless I use them as props for a blog post. Anyways.

I live in the US and for now, shipping is only within the US. I am SO sorry to my amazing and beautiful international friends, but shipping a big box overseas is expensive, and stressful. (OMG what if it gets lost?! Or customs opens and plays in it??)

Some of the items are new, most have been swatched OR used 1-2 times. There are a few items that have less product in them but I will clearly state it in the listing. If you have questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.

If you are interested in an item, please leave me a comment down below (or email me info@daydreamingbeauty.com) and I will send you my paypal address or invoice you (no e-checks please). Payment must be made within a day. I’ve run into problems with holding makeup items in blog sales past, so I can’t do that anymore.

Now, onto the fun stuff! I have grouped the items together and will be selling most of them as a lot. This makes it a great value for you, and easier for me! I will, in most cases, ship in a priority mail flat rate box. I pack carefully and use loads of bubble wrap.

Makeup and Perfume Blog sale 7/29

July 28, 2013 by daydreamingbeauty 2 Comments

Hi there! Thanks for checking out my makeup blog sale. I ship from the US to most anywhere. I can’t ship nail polish or perfume internationally though, I’m sorry! I ship about once a week. If you’d like tracking, delivery confirmation, express or overnight delivery, please ask. I can do it, but will charge the extra. I will take Paypal payments (please no e checks). I’ve had lots of successful swaps on Makeup Alley, blog sales, ebay sales etc. If you are interested in an item, please either email me here sweetpea789946@gmail.com OR leave a comment
here on the blog. I will charge $3.50 for shipping/packaging if you are within the US. (If you get something very small like a perfume vial or something, I may charge less as I can use a smaller envelope.)

International pricing from the US has increased as of 1/13. I will quote you the price that I get from the USPS. Please don’t haggle on pricing, as I have to charge you what I pay. If you get a large lot of items, we can haggle on the price!

The items for sale are either new, swatched, or used 1-3 times. Any questions, please ask!
I will leave the sanitizing up to you. I package all items with love and care, using lots of bubble wrap.

Thanks!
