Here’s a great under $5 stocking stuffer idea, e.l.f Gem Travel Mirror.  Nothing says the holidays like a bit of bling!

The closed mirror case

The mirror case slightly open

One mirror is a standard mirror and the other mirror is an magnifying mirror!

This compact mirror is small enough for travel, at the desk or in your purse.  Personally, I like to keep this mirror at my desk at work.  It keeps my teeth as well as my makeup in check!

I had an opportunity to check out Everyday Minerals Blender Face Brush.  If you aren’t familiar with the Everyday Minerals brand, they are an online retailer for mineral cosmetics.  Honestly, I’ve been following them from the very beginning.

Everyday Minerals Blender Face Brush Product Details (taken from website):

• Everyday Minerals Blender Face Brush  is ideal for both professional makeup artists and every woman alike!
•  It is versatile (use it to apply a wide range of mineral makeup, from blush to face powders and bronzer)
• The fluffy flat top shaped, multi-functional brush is perfectly sculpted for blending mineral face powders.

Approx. Price: $12
Where to Purchase? Everyday Minerals

The Bottom Line

My first impression when I saw Everyday Minerals Blender Face Brush was that maybe it would be a stippling brush.  This synthetic super soft Face Brush is not dense enough for a stippling brush, but great for a blush brush!  And because this is a synthetic brush, I would not recommend using this brush for loose minerals (even though this is sold on a mineral makeup website!).

Instead, this brush is perfect for applying liquid based products.  I personally like to use this brush to apply a cream based blush and it works wonders.  For $12, you’re definitely getting a high quality brush.  After a few washings, its bristles still remained intact.
