Introducing our new monthly series 'Something to Blush About'! Every month we'll be highlighting a brand, trend, tutorial or general topic we're currently blushing about. We're kicking the series off with the most perfect stocking stuffers we could find - Stowaway Cosmetics!

We've been blushing about Stowaway ever since they launched their 'right-sized' makeup products. All of their petite makeup products are beautifully packaged and perfectly portable. This makes them great for anyone on-the-go OR our most common case, a bride or bridesmaid wanting to touch up their makeup look throughout the big day! 

We highly recommend these products not only to our brides and their bridal parties but also to anyone trying to pull off a pretty yet practical holiday gift this year! Make sure to check out their holiday gift guide HERE and (one of our favs) the Stowaway Basics Kit below. *Keep reading for discount!*
