As November comes to an end and the holiday season is on its way, this is the perfect time to not only give gifts but also treat yourself. However, I know it can be hard for many people to come up with ideas of what to ask for when the time really comes. To help all of you out, here are some of my most loved items that I would recommend anyone to add to their Christmas wishlist. No gatekeeping this holiday season!
section 1: makeup
1. Rom&nd Glasting Melting Balm ($9.79 USD):

This has to be one of my favorite lip products that I own, and I own a lot of lip products! This tinted lip balm leaves your lips looking glowy and bright. Rom&nd offers a large variety of colors to choose from. As someone who loves pink, my personal favorite is the 02 Lovey Pink shade. This product also works really well as a blush.
2. Kiss Me Heroine Make Long UP Mascara Super Waterproof ($18 USD):

I could not recommend this mascara more. It’s the best mascara that I have ever purchased. I literally wear it every day and always repurchase it. Not only does this mascara make your eyelashes look good all day, but it is also very waterproof. I have even worn this mascara while swimming, and it has never come off or smudged. It also has 6 different kinds of eyelash serum ingredients inside to protect sensitive lashes from damage while wearing.
Section 2: school essentials
3. Zebra Midliner Twin Tip Highlighters ($20.29 USD):
If you’re always taking handwritten notes for classes and you don’t own a cute set of multi-colored highlighters, what are you doing? These highlighters make taking notes so much more fun, and I feel so much more accomplished when my notes are complete because of them. I honestly find it calming when I’m taking notes now, and they are a lot easier to understand when they are color-coordinated.
4. Utena Matomage Hair Styling Stick ($9.98 USD):
https://www.amazon.com/Utena-Matomage-Styling-Stick-Regular/dp/B004OR2F0S
If you struggle with taming flyaway hairs and frizz after long school days, this product is such a lifesaver. Not only is this hair styling stick small and easy to carry in your bag, but it’s also just super helpful on humid or windy days.
Section 3: miscellaneous
5. Smiski Glow in the Dark Figure ($12.25 USD):

Smiski figures are such an amazing gift for yourself or for others. It can be so fun to see what you are going to get. I have so many Smiski figures, and I love them so much. There are also Smiski Hippers, which you can attach to basically any item, and I’ve seen a lot of people put them on the back of their phone case, which I think is super adorable. Blind boxes in general can be such a good gift for your friends, and there are so many different kinds of Smiski blind boxes to choose from.
6. A Wildflower Phone Case ($37 USD):

Last but not least is a phone case! I have yet to find a Wildflower phone case that I don’t like, and there is really a design for everyone. Not only are these phone cases super stylish, but they’re also durable. Wildflower is also a female-owned brand, which I think makes the cases even more special!
