Our Ultimate Stocking Stuffer Holiday Gift Guide

Tell us what’s more fun than shopping for beauty gifts for the holidays! If you’re like us, that includes shopping for your besties, fam and yourself, too. After all, who can resist the special holiday packages and deals this time of year brings, not to mention the fact that beauty gifts are practically made for stuffing stockings? If you’ve read all the gift guides and are tired of the limiting splurge suggestions offered (a $1000 stocking? No thanks!), look no further than our dupe-inspired one. It’s packed with practical suggestions that anyone on your list would love to receive. So sit back and get your shopping list ready because we’ve rounded up the final beauty touches you’re going to want to get, stat!

The gift of filtered-looking skin

We won’t tell you to shop for someone else’s foundation or anything but we are suggesting you give the gift of filtered-looking skin with a primer that performs and, well, looks pretty. This pearl-infused primer has a lightweight gel texture that’s suitable for any skin tone and it leaves skin with the natural glow we all crave this time of year. Plus, at a fraction of the cost of other French-inspired varieties, this pearl primer is a real beauty to pull out of your makeup bag or vanity. It’s also free of alcohol, perfume, gluten, microplastics and more so you can be reassured it will be loved by all.

The gift of rested-looking eyes

The next best thing to giving the gift of rest is the look of being well-rested and for this, we love a good gel-eye patch set. These hydrogel patches are perfect for travel and mornings when you might be a little puffier than usual (hey, it is cocktail season!) and only take minutes to work their magic. With energizing ingredients like ginseng, caffeine and hyaluronic acid, these go to work on your eyes instantly making them brighter and more wide-awake looking. And at just a few dollars a pop, you can afford to stock up on a bunch, unlike some pricey eye mask counterparts with similar ingredients.

The gift of a designer lip oil dupe

The hype of a good lip oil is real and we’ve got just the thing for getting the sheer, nourishing yet glossy look of one minus the hefty price tag of a certain French variety. Meet the glossy lip oil that reacts to your skin’s pH for a truly unique and flattering look. With five shades to choose from and a super reasonable price tag, pick up three, tie a ribbon around them and call it a fab beauty trio. Your secret Santa will be impressed with this gift guide selection.

The gift of a pretty new eyeshadow palette

The beauty girl’s equivalent to a box of chocolate is easily a new eyeshadow palette so gifting one is a real no-brainer. Go for one with lots of variety and a sparkle factor like this holiday-worthy, jewel-toned palette. It’s affordable yet it has something for every beauty personality with dual textures, effects and even a cake liner, plus the color combos evoke some fun. At this price point, we’ll bet you pick one up for yourself too!
