Makeup Gifts Under $25
BENEFIT COSMETICS Highlighter Hotshots
Know someone with a love for cream and liquid highlighters? This set is perfect for them! Including a cream stick highlighter and two of Benefit’s “beam” liquid highlighters, this is a deal that can’t be beat.
Purchase at Sephora
NARS Lipstick Duos
Buying for someone who likes no-fuss lip color? The Velvet Matte Lipstick pencils are a great alternative to matte liquid lipsticks! These NARS pencils are highly rated for a reason. There are two in this pack, and two packs to choose from so you can get the colors your BFF will love.
The Velvet Lip Glide Duo are the liquid version of the pencils – and omg these shades!
KYLIE COSMETICS Mini Liquid Lipsticks Set
On the other hand, if you know that you’re buying for someone who loves liquid lipsticks, definitely pick up this mini duo of Kylie’s lipsticks! These colors are gorgeous and you can’t beat the price.
Purchase at Ulta
FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA Bomb Baby 2 Mini Lip Gloss and Highlighter Set
The Fenty glosses are raved about by all the gloss lovers I know – and their highlighters are out of this world. This duo is a great introduction into Rihanna’s brand!
Purchase at Sephora
TOO FACED Mascara Ornaments
Some of the most popular high end mascaras are from Too Faced. However, mascara can be a very personal preference product – and it’s best to try out the more expensive formulas in a mini version! These minis are super cute and can be hung from your Christmas tree. Adorable!
MARC JACOBS BEAUTY Rock P(Out): Petite Enamored High Shine Gloss Duo
Including a best selling shade and a brand new shade, these high shine glosses are bound to please! They look gorgeous and claim to never be sticky – which is super awesome.
Purchase at Sephora
STILA Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow Set
I LOVE the Stila Glitter & Glows. They are the easiest way to add glam and sparkle to your eye, hands down! I truly believe that there is tons of product in these mini kits (my minis are still going strong after a year of use!) and you won’t go through a full sized bottle before they expire or dry up, anyway. I recommend these to anyone who loves sparkles and glitter!
Note: The packs at Sephora and Ulta have different shades in them! Look at both to see which one you want.
NUDESTIX Mini Metallic Eye 3 Piece Kit
My NUDESTIX Magnetic eye pencil is my favorite colored eyeliner EVER. It is so incredibly smooth, buttery, and pigmented. It makes for a great quick eyeshadow, too!
Ulta and Sephora have slightly different kits, so check them both out to see both variations.
BITE BEAUTY Creamy Color 4-Piece Mini Amuse Bouche Supercharged Lipstick Set
Bite is known for an awesome bullet lipstick formula (which you can customize if you visit one of their labs!) and there isn’t a better way to try out their lipsticks than this 4 pack! Included are the shades Amuse Bouche, Ruby BonBon, Cherry Truffle, and Cocoa Bite – all very wearable colors for the holiday season.
Purchase at Sephora
NATASHA DENONA Mini Eyeshadow Palette
Her full sized eyeshadow palettes run anywhere from $70 to a couple hundred dollars – this mini version is much more affordable! Natasha Denona is known for an amazing eyeshadow formula, which many claim to be the very best on the market. Any makeup lover will swoon over anything from this brand!
Purchase at Sephora
URBAN DECAY All Nighter Setting Spray Ornament
All Nighter is considered one of the best – if not THE best – setting spray for consumers. The full size is pricey, and if you don’t use setting spray that much (or if you travel a lot) this one is perfect. Bonus: You can get it honey scented to match their honey collection!
OFRA Cosmetics Online Only S’more Glow Mini Set
The most blinding highlighter? Amazing, long lasting lip color? In a set?! If you know someone who loves to glow and wear bold lip colors, get this one. Seriously.
Purchase at Ulta
Skincare Gifts Under $25
MAKEUP ERASER Original Makeup Removing Cloth
Removing your makeup every single day can be a pain! The Makeup Eraser makes it bit easier by helping you take off all makeup (including waterproof!) with only water.
Purchase at Sephora
MOUNT LAI De-Puffing Facial Roller
2019 saw a trend of facial rollers made out of jade, quartz, and similar materials. These rollers help de-puff the skin with their cool temperature (even cooler if you store them in the fridge!) and promote serums and oils to really sink into your skin. I have a jade roller and it feels like a personal facial massage every time I use it!
Jade: Purchase at Sephora | Rose Quartz: Purchase at Sephora
MARIO BADESCU Facial Spray Travel Trio
These facial sprays are a cult favorite, and these mini sizes are perfect to try out all of the varieties (rose is my favorite!) and travel with over the holiday season.
OLE HENRIKSEN T.B.T. (Truth Be Toned) Skincare Set
A high end brand at a low price? Yes please! Ole Henriksen is known for great skincare products, and you can’t go wrong with this Vitamin C Serum and toner set that is good for ALL skintypes!
Purchase at Sephora
LANEIGE Kiss Me Day And Night Lip Care Duo
This Laneige lip mask and balm duo are both highly rated products, well-loved by many. You can never have too many lip balm type of products, especially in the drying winter weather. This is at the top of my list!
Purchase at Sephora
THE ORDINARY The Daily Set
If you follow skincare trends online, you have heard of The Ordinary. This affordable skincare brand is changing lives and transforming skin. I personally LOVE their AHA/BHA peeling treatment, but this kit is a great start for anyone who needs a good, simple skincare line.
Purchase at Sephora
ORIGINS Mask and Go On-the-Go Masking Must-Haves Set
Face masks are a great gift for beauty lovers! This set from Origins has a few varieties to choose from, and each contains enough for several uses. Score!

SEPHORA FAVORITES Perfume Travel Sampler
These Sephora perfume samplers are super cool – not only do you get 6 or 7 perfume samples to try in spray or rollerball form, you also get a voucher for a FREE full sized perfume! If you’re shopping for someone and don’t know what perfume they would like, this is 100% the way to go. They can try out all the samples and choose for themselves which one they like the best, and redeem their coupon for a full sized version.
There are a couple varieties of the samplers this year. The first includes Chloé Chloé Nomade Eau de Parfum, Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia Eau de Parfum, Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau de Toilette, Tocca Stella Eau de Parfum, Tory Burch Nuit Azur Eau de Parfum, and Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Nectar Eau de Parfum.
Purchase at Sephora
The second variety includes the scents Chloe Eau de Parfum, Clean Reserve Acqua Neroli Eau de Parfum, Marc Jacobs Daisy Love Eau de Toilette, Miu Miu Twist Eau de Parfum, Prada Candy Sugar Pop Eau de Parfum, Tory Burch Ber Azur Eau de Parfum, and Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb Bloom Eau de Toilette. There are some overlap between the offered samples, so I wouldn’t buy both!
Purchase at Sephora

Three Clinique fragrances under $20? Yes! These scents are all uplifting, happy scents, in convenient spray bottles.
Want a slightly bigger version for $5 more? They have that too.

TARTE Hey Curl, Hey lash curler
Everyone needs a good, simple lash curler. I prefer non-mechanical curlers (like this one) because it decreases the chance of injury (no springs to fail while you’re using it – trust me, it hurts!).
As a bonus, this curler is super cute and comes with a bonus mascara. Win!

Need to spruce up your eyeshadow brush collection, or get a beginner started with some staple brushes? This set is perfect for you! Including blending, packing, and eyeliner brushes, this will help your eyeshadow look fabulous.

Purchase at Ulta
TWEEZERMAN Slant and Point Tweezers
Nice tweezers are something that we all want, but don’t want to spend money on ourselves. Tweezerman brand tweezers are considered the very best of the best, and have all sorts of lifetime guarantees from the brand – including free sharpening for life.
Purchase at Ulta
TWEEZERMAN False Lash Applicator
I personally use my tweezers to apply my false lashes. If you’re shopping for someone who really struggles with applying falsies, a lash applicator can be a very useful gift! This applicator is bent at the end, giving you the perfect angle to pop on a lash.
