DIY : Mason Jar Holiday Gifts For Beauty Lovers!

Purchased Affiliate Link Press Sample

As  much as I hate to say this, the Holidays are approaching.. and fast! I’ve seen so many DIY gifts that involved mason jars, but never ones that involved beauty products! I absolutely love this idea and  the fact that you can customize them however you want depending on who you are gifting them to and can really get creative with the craft.  I have put together two different options – One for the polish lover in your life and then another focused mainly on beauty products.

You can find the mason jars in your local craft store or buy them in bulk like I ended up doing at Target.  You can fill them with all drugstore products, all high end products or mix & match! It’s totally up to you – and what makes this project so much fun! There are a TON of Holiday beauty gift sets that come out around this time that would be perfect to use for this DIY by separating the items! Sephora has a TON of great ones right now! 
Beauty Product Jar

Mini Benefit They’re Real Mascara ($10)
Hard Candy Single Baked Eyeshadow ($1 each – Found in store)

It Brushes For Ulta – Your Beautiful Basics Travel Set – $19.50

BareMinerals Give It A Twirl Mini Gloss Set – $18

Nivea A Kiss Of Care & Color – $4.99

Mini Tarte Blush in Mirage – $5 (Was in a $10 gift set)

Mini Benefit Porefessional – Deluxe sample size from a gift set

Beauty Product Jar Retail Value – $60

Nail Polish Lover Jar

JulieG JetSet Top Coat – $3.99

Mini Hard Candy Polishes – $1 Each (Found in store)

Sally Hansen Nail Polish Remover Pads – $4.99 for 8 Pads

H2O Hand Cream – $5

Tweezerman Nail Clippers – $5

Sally Hansen Tweezers – $5 (Pack of 2)

Revlon by Marchesa Mini File – $4.99 (Came in a set)

And then I had a few cotton balls at the bottom as well! 
Nail Product Jar Value – $25

How perfect would those nail jars be for a bunch of your girlfriends? 
I am definitely going to be making up a bunch of different varieties and passing them along as gifts this year! There are SO many possibilities! Secret Santa, White Elephant, Teachers.. even kids! 
Have you made mason jar gifts before? What did you put inside!?
