Travel Makeup Makes Cute & Great Stocking Stuffers


Your man or men (big and small) are now running around like chickens with their heads cut off because...yes, they put up one, big, mean Christmas lights display; however they didn't about your wants and needs until now.

Since the sales staffs are kind enough to be opened until the wee hours when Santa arrives at midnight, here are a couple of tips to hit, or hint them in the head.

Multi-purpose, travel makeup makes great affordable stocking stuffers.  They're cute and adorable in size and color.  You love that eyes/cheeks/lip cream tints can slide into your jeans' pocket.  They're great for the moms-on-the go.  They can slide through TSA at the airport without any problems.

Here are some travel makeup brands to save your Christmas in the last-minute.  Shoot, you can even pick them up yourself.

Christina Zilber, Founder and Creative Director of Jouer Cosmetics, is a jet-setter mom and beauty-lover.  She created Jouer (French for "play") so she put on a full-face or dab a touch-up at the airport, at the gate lounge, in the plane, or on the road.  Plus, dabbing on makeup can be fun, so she made this nifty line playful.

Since she's a fun-loving jet setter, she was kind enough to offer this very affordable gift that your twelve-years old can even afford...inspired by a popular British tradition, Jouer introduces our version of a holiday cracker with Sparkle & Pop. This festive goodie is dressed in a beautiful pale pink box with sparkling gold confetti and a chic gift-tag for personalization. Jouer's Sparkle & Pop makes the perfect stocking stuffer or holiday party favor containing five fun surprises including a special Jouer treat. Pop, open and enjoy! 

It's a party container bursting with: a Party Horn, a Chic Cocktail Ring, a  Beauty Fortune, a  Mini Champagne Bubbles and one of three Jouer Deluxe Samples: Body Butter (0.21 oz.), Essential Lip Enhancer (0.07 fl. oz.), Glisten Moisturizing Lip Gloss (0.06 fl. oz.)...believe it or not, this slides right into a stocking stuffer.


The more pragmatic woman would appreciate this universal berry-lip/cheek/eye tint, Jouer's Dahlia.  According to Christina, this sheer berry stain is the company's best-seller because it looks good on everyone.  A no-brainer for the guy who's looking for one-stop makeup.




If he's sharp enough to give you the Dahlia berry-tint, you can use it, literally, as a building block for other Jouer products can lock and slide into a customized kit that you enlarge or shrink back.  It all has to start with him giving you that one Jouer product.


There's another chic and cute travel makeup option...Kjaer Weis, a veteran makeup of New York Fashion Week.  The mirrored compact is the mirror.  This portable makeup line cuts down to the essentials: cream blush, a moisturizing lip tint, and a single eye shadow.

The cream blush imparts a healthy flush as though you had a brisk stroll when, in fact, you're stuck in the car shopping or in the kitchen baking.   The lip tint gives the lip all-natural hint of color to make you look refreshed and alive.  The eye shadow is a simple swipe to subtly deepen the lids.

This Winter/Holiday 2012 Essential Trio Set of a mauve cream Abundance Blush, a Goddess burgundy sheer tint, and a soft Pretty Purple plum eye shadow gives a elegant Old Hollywood Glam look but in a more subtle focus.  For a more formal and natural look, you can double the Abundance Blush as lip color.  Great for the hurried mom on the go, from working to shopping to cooking to the church to the party, plus a Kjaer Weis item can fit into those tiny purse pockets.

The whole entire 3-piece collection or each individual item comes packaged already in this luxurious red, embossed faux-leather gift box, so your gift-wrapping is pretty much taken care of.  All you have to do, again, is slide it or them into the stocking.

Your lady will be thrilled if she finds these in her stocking stuffers, something she can really use all year-long.
