If you aren’t on a billionaire’s budget, the price could determine just how much you can amaze, pamper, and delight. Here are holiday beauty and skincare gifts all under $75. Therefore these gifts bring joy to the world for less.
A Huge Eye-Centric Palette!
For a holiday gift that’s nothing short of spectacular, there’s the Sephora limited edition Color Wonderland Eye Shadow Palette ($74/$225 value). It’s so full of colors! Therefore it’s the
It’s definitely the covet-able and extravagant gift for anyone who adores experimenting with color, color, and more color and formulas in eyeshadow.
The huge two-sided palette has 78 shadow pans including a neutral and a glitter highlighter, (it’s the stuff eyeshadow fans dream of).
The neutral side features earth tones in matte, pearle, and shimmer formulas with a black eyeliner pencil to compliment the shadows. However, the other side houses the brights. These include blue, pink, green, copper, and gold colors in matte, shimmer, and glittery formulas and coordinates with a silver metallic pencil.
A dual-ended eyeshadow brush is also included, along with a mirror on each side. We can’t imagine anyone not loving this impressive gift from Sephora and Sephora.com
Moisturizing & Luxe Bodycare:
Luxe bath and body products in confetti packaging for a holiday gift (Oh yes please)!
The Arbonne Olive Blossom & Eucalyptus Gift Set ($58) is a moderately-priced and beautifully boxed duo of (8 oz. each) Cleansing Body Polish and Whipped Body Butter with a fresh, herbal-scent (thanks to natural essential oils).
The set is infused with soothing and moisturizing shea butter, olive, and coconut oil. Therefore, it will delight those with dry skin. We really like the Cleansing Body Polish. It’s gritty enough to slough away Winter-weary dead skin cells and give your skin a glow. However, it won’t irritate your skin.
The Whipped Body Butter has a luxe, emollient blend. It includes shea butter, olive oil, and coconut oil to soothe, soften, and moisturize. However, it’s not sticky (so great for after bathing, or anytime).
