Now that Halloween has past, the turkey has been eaten, and the Black Friday sales have happened, it’s Christmas! Well, Christmas prep time, at least. I was raised in a household where you start buying holiday gifts whenever you see things. This is a fantastic practice, because it spreads the spending out quite a bit, and gets rid of the rush and (some of the) anxiety. Since I know that not everyone subscribes to this method of buying, I’ve collected a list of products that i’m really excited about. Some are items I’ve used before, some just look rad. Either way, lets dive in!
We all know I love this one. I have been a huge fan of the Gudetama Sheet Mask since my first purchase of it in Disney last year. I think it’s an inexpensive gift that lends itself to horrifying selfies that just keep on giving. You don’t have to go to Disney to buy it though, you can grab one for yourself, a friend, or everyone on your gift buying list here!
A while back, ColourPop released a Villains collection. Though I’m on a low-buy at the moment (so many eyeshadow palettes, so little time!), I have been lusting after their products since they announced them. I had the pleasure of trying out the “Do I Look Like I Care” Glitter Gel for LeakyCon’s Esther Earl Ball last month and I loved it. I adore ColourPop products; they’re inexpensive, good products, and they’re cruelty free. Of course I’d love to get my grubby hands on the whole Villains collection, but realistically, I would love to get the Jelly Much Shadow in the shade “Spindle.” In this house, we stan Maleficent.
Still riding that Disney wave, we can’t talk about nerdy beauty products and not mention Basin White! Basin White is an all natural bathing inspired store. I’ve bought a couple things from them, but my all time favorite is the Mickey Bath Bombs they offer only in Disney. These delightful fizzers leave tiny hidden Mickeys throughout your bath, and I honestly don’t know what’s better than that. As you can only buy them on Disney property, they’re a bit hard to get. But if you’re in the area, I highly suggest grabbing one (or a dozen). I certainly wouldn’t say no to one in my stocking!
As someone who loves her nails looking nice, I can’t make this list without including Espionage Cosmetics‘ nail wraps. I have a whole slew of wraps from them, and the hardest thing is always choosing which to put on! I love that they have such a wide selection of nerd-themed things, and just cute looks. I’m personally vibing hard with this “World 1-1” set, but there all sorts of wraps there! Below are some of the sets I currently have.
Ok, so this one isn’t necessarily a beauty product, but I think it goes well with self care items. Waxspurts is a candle company that I found while at LeakyCon in Boston last month. I bought the “Malfoy’s Manor” scent, and wow it is lovely! I sniffed all of the scents that were available there and really struggled to not buy them all. I have been burning this every couple of nights, because while it lasts well, I don’t want to use it up too quickly. I’m pretty dang sure that there is a scent for every nerd on your list!
That wraps it up for me right now. Let me know if you’ve tried any of these companies, and which are your favorites! Also, what are you asking for this holiday season?
