Don’t worry, I’m here to help you conceal all the stress by showing you how you can achieve your prettiest Holiday Glam look ever! Nobody will ever know how stressed you really are. 😉
If you want to learn more about these key products and my short review on them, please keep reading!
Airsponge
Beauty sponges are such a staple in anyone’s makeup collection so if you still don’t own at least one, take this as a sign to get one ASAP! These makeup sponges help apply your face makeup flawlessly! When you use them damp, it helps reduce product buildup so you don’t look cakey, and here’s a PRO TIP for you: these are great oil blotters! Get rid of shine by tapping a dry Airponge softly on your oily areas.
BaseBlue Cosmetics sent me their cute Holiday Snowman Makeup Sponge which performs so well either wet or dry. The little snowman head shape is perfect for applying cream highlights! This cutie is a great stocking stuffer!
HOW TO USE:
Wet the airsponge and squeeze out excess water.
Blend away foundation, concealer, contour, blush, highlight with this makeup sponge.
Set face using a translucent powder with these beauty sponges. Applying powder with a damp sponge will help prolong your makeup and will prevent makeup from slipping or fading away.
MoxieLash
Talk about innovative product of the year! I first heard about this product on YouTube earlier this year and I have been curious ever since! I was so beyond excited when I saw this in my Babbleboxx! Here’s what makes MoxieLash different from the rest of them: they use magnets! For real!
MoxieLash’s technology uses magnetic eyeliner to help make our eyelash application so much easier because so many struggle with eyelash application. And because of their unique method of application, lashes will last a lot longer because no glue is involved. What I find cool about this product is that you can switch between lashes any time you want because the magnetic eyeliner stays put and you can easily pull out and put on a fresh pair of lashes!
I feel like a lot of people already use false lashes on special occasions so why not make it fun by using false magnetic lashes? MoxieLash has so many lash looks to choose from and will surely make your Holiday Glam makeup look complete! This makes for a fun gift to all your makeup lover friends and family.

MY THOUGHTS AND REVIEW:
If you aren’t used to using liquid eyeliner, you might struggle a little bit because the applicator is a little stiff, and the eyeliner formula is a little thicker than normal (because of the magnets I suppose)
Once this is dry, THIS WILL NOT BUDGE! Which is a good thing! But this also means you have to be a little quick with your application.
You have to wait for the eyeliner to dry for 2 minutes. If you don’t wait for this to dry completely, the eyeliner will come off your eye and stick onto your lashes. I made this mistake the first time I used it.
The best way to use this product is by applying a thick wing starting from the inner corner all the way out. If you apply a thin wing, the lash band will have nothing to stick to.
The lashes will stay on your eye the whole day!
The best way to remove the eyeliner is by using the lash remover they provide or by using oil cleansers. Taking this off with a makeup wipe hurts a little bit.

G-MS Watch from G-SHOCK
G-SHOCK is known and is trusted for their fashion timepieces, and I particularly love their watches from the G-MS collection.
They’re the perfect watch to wear this holiday season because not only do they have a beautiful sophisticated style, they’re all made with the features of what G-SHOCK is known for: extreme durability, up to 100m water resistance, shock resistance, daily alarm, countdown timer, and so much more!
INSTAX Mini Link™
And finally, a pocket smartphone printer that I’m sure will be a HUGE hit at all the parties you will be attending! The Fujifilm INSTAX Mini Link allows you to print all the fun photos you’ll be taking at your holiday parties.
You just need to download the INSTAX MINI LINK app and the instructions are super easy to follow. I love that the actual printer doesn’t really have a lot of buttons you have to tinker with which makes your phone the actual command center. The app is pretty intuitive and you’re able to add fun filters and frames to your photos before printing.
This is a great gift to give tech savvy friends and family who love to take photos for memories!
I hope that you found this post helpful! This is my favorite time of year so I’m very excited to get a lot of use out these amazing products! Thank you to all the sponsors of this post.
