Hi everyone, today is the first day of my holiday gift guide series! Every Tuesday and Thursday up until December 20th, I will be posting a holiday gift guide. So with that being said, if you have any suggestions for a gift guide or request for price ranges feel free to comment them below! Anyways, for today’s gift guide I’m sharing with you ideas for small, affordable beauty gifts from Ulta! These gifts are perfect to put in someone’s stocking, or even give as a simple gift! Personally, I love receiving beauty products for Christmas because it is a great way to try something new. These products are affordable which makes it great for a gift since it is something that a person could easily repurchase if they ended up loving the product!
1. Maybelline Total Temptation Mascara Holiday Kit – $9.49
This is a really cute gift to put in a stocking, it is an ornament with the Total Temptation Mascara in it. This is is one of my favorites and I love how it makes my lashes appear more full and longer.
2. NYX Worth the Hype Mascara – $7.99
As soon as I tried this mascara, I instantly fell in love with the way it made my lashes look. It doesn’t clump and makes your lashes appear full and the price is so reasonable.
3. Essence Spice Up Your Life Eyeshadow Palette – $9.99
Essence has really good affordable makeup. This palette contains 16 eyeshadow colors that are perfect for winter looks. I love the mix of shimmer and mattes that this palette contains.
4. Burt’s Bees A Bit of Vanilla Bean – $4.99
Burt’s Bees makes the best lip balm and the vanilla bean is my favorite one! This little gift is adorable since it contains the lip balm along with a cuticle cream. I think this little duo would be a great stocking stuffer. It also comes in a gift tin so it’s easy to gift to someone!
5. NYX Strawberry Whip Sprinkle Town Cream Glitter Palette – $10.00
Although this isn’t exactly under $10.00, it’s still extremely affordable. This is a limited edition palette, and also comes in two other color combinations but the Strawberry Whip one is my favorite. It comes in holiday packaging so you could easily put it in a stocking.
6. Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge – $4.99
For those looking for a cheaper alternative to the beautyblender, this is it! This beauty sponge works just as well as the beautyblender but is WAY cheaper. This sponge easily blends out foundation for a smooth look! This is a great affordable gift that makeup lovers will love!!!
7. Milani Rose Powder Blush- $8.99
This blush is my go-to! It comes in 4 different shades and is very pigmented. I love how the blush is basically a rose. This is a great simple gift that looks beautiful.
8. Makeup Revolution Skin Kiss Highlighter – $9.00
Highlighters are a great gift that fit easily in stockings! Makeup Revolution’s Skin Kiss highlighter comes in 3 shades that are all so pretty on the skin. It’s perfect for giving just a natural glow. These make great gifts.
9. Formula 10.0.6 Clean Getaway Travel Kit – $9.99
This is something I was most excited to see as a holiday gift set on Ulta’s website! This gift set contains a pore cleanser, a mud mask, makeup wipes, and a daily cleanser! This a great starter set for someone wanting to try products from Formula 10.0.6 or someone needing skincare products for a vacation.
10. Clinique Take the Day Away Balm Travel Size – $9.50
Clinique’s Take The Day Off Cleansing Balm is a quick way to remove eye and face makeup. This is a travel size so it would easily fit in a stocking! It’s a great product for someone who has been wanting to try this.
11. Makeup Revolution Pro Fix Illuminating Fixing Spray – $8.00
This is a wonderful spray that helps skin to have a healthy-looking glow! It’s a great gift that you could easily fit in a stocking or combine with some other makeup products from this guide!
12. Milani Make It Dewy Setting Spray – $9.99
This is another great setting spray that helps promote a heathy glow while cooling and refreshing your skin! It supposedly sets your makeup for 16 hours! It’s such an affordable setting spray that works really well.
All of these makeup products make great stocking stuffers or small, affordable gifts! You could even create a gift basket using a few of these products, which would be a great gift idea for the makeup lover in your life. These products make great gifts for your sister, friend, or other family members!
