9 Beauty Gifts Under $30 That Make Adorable Stocking Stuffers for the Holidays

Name one thing better than holiday beauty gift sets. Go on, we’ll wait. The holidays are, in our opinion, the most exciting time of the year for many reasons, but makeup is high on our list. Nearly every brand has an array of offerings meant to get us more excited than ever before: carousels of lippies, confetti poppers with makeup inside, holiday ornaments full of product and more. So, instead of spending your entire paycheck on pricey holiday gift sets, we’re here to inform you that there are a ton of beauty product stocking stuffers under $30 that will make your beauty-lovin’ friends and family freak out. We rounded them up, ahead.
