RE: Under $20 secret Santa

Canโ€™t go wrong with minis from the check out lane... I canโ€™t ever figure out how to purchase online but Iโ€™ll drive out of the way to a Sephora to check out all the minis โค๏ธโค๏ธ

RE: Under $20 secret Santa

You canโ€™t go wrong with lip glosses especially the nude shades. Everybody loves those. I have a different one inside each purse I use;()

Re: Under $20 secret Santa

Hi @toofaced2, there's a lot of good recommendations from the other posters. @greeneyedgirl107 mentioned the BI sale - that starts this Friday, 11/16 and goes thru Monday, 11/19 and as a BI, you'll get 15% off your purchases, which means if you spend roughly $23-$24 on an item or item(s), you'll generally be under your $20 secret santa amount.  Here are a few ideas that I thought of:

 

If the person loves both lip and eye makeup, you could get a mini mascara (like

TOO FACED - Better Than Sex Mascara Mini Ornament or BENEFIT COSMETICS - They're Real Lengthening Mascara Mini Ornament

and a lipstick from the  SEPHORA COLLECTION - #Lipstories Lipstick. There are many shades and formulas to pick from; if you went into the store, a cast member could help you pick one. If you're looking for something festive for the holidays SEPHORA COLLECTION - #Lipstories Lipstick - 27 Hong Kong By Night (metal finish)is a stunning red. 

 

There's also FENTY BEAUTY BY RIHANNA - Bomb Baby Mini Lip and Face Set 

which includes a nice lip gloss and highlighter.

A little over the limit with the discount is the MAKE UP FOR EVER - Essential Wonders set which has a little of everything. Stila also has a few lip kits and eye kits that are really fun for the holidays (or year round) - stila Glitter On The Go Liquid Eye Shadow Set Rose Gold Retro, Kitten Karma, Smoldering Satin ,STILA - Nude Attitude Mini Stay All Dayยฎ Liquid Lipstick Setor STILA - Kiss Me Stila Mini Stay All Dayยฎ Liquid Lipstick Set.  The BEAUTYBLENDER - Sweet Surprise Mystery Blind Bagmakes for a fun gift too.

 

If you are looking for a product to give your person, definitely check out the

Gifts section and the Mini sections online. Of course, there's always a Sephora gift

card - right now the holder for the gift card is super cute (and functional) - it's wallet size, has the black-and-white stripes we've come to know and love about Sephora. The interior has a mirror on one side and the other has a pocket to hold the gift card and/or ID/credit card. I really love the design of this one. I received one as a give and will definitely be picking a few up to give this year as well.

If she loves makeup, then I should suggest you buy her a mini too faced better than sex mascara or mini benefit precisely my brow. Or you can try an aim for some benefit items and use the 3.50 off $15 dollar coupons. Another idea is The moonlight pearls highlight by Elf, everyone loves a good blinding highlight! But be sure to tell her to peel off the top layer for an extra blinding highlight! Best wishes xoxo๐Ÿ’‹

RE: Under $20 secret Santa

Buy her a few sheet face masks they are fun and the Sephora brand itโ€™s cheap and always on sale! Sheโ€™s gonna love that

Re: Under $20 secret Santa

@toofaced2 I suggest looking under the gift tab at Sephora.com, then searching $25 and under gifts.  They have Clinique, Benefit, Stila for $20 or less; or, you could get two $10 gifts.  I haven't been following when BIs get the sale, but it should be coming up.  Thus, you can save a little bit; and if you use eBates then you can save even more.  Best of luck!  ๐Ÿ™‚

Re: Under $20 secret Santa

You could use the perpetual $3.50 off $15+ coupon at ULTA, and get a shadow palette by ColourPop or Juvia's Place. You could also use it on the BH Cosmetics Desert Oasis Palette ($22 full price), or the Milani Gilded Desires palette ($22 reg. price).  ULTA has OPI nail polishes BOGO - 50% off the second, if she's into doing her nails.

You could also get one of the larger Milani palettes (Most Loved Mattes, Soft & Sultry, Pure Passion, or Bold Obsessions) for about $15 at WalMart. I have 2 of them, and the quality is great.

You could also get a gift card, and let her decide. 

Re: Under $20 secret Santa

There are so many cute choices! The VIOLET VOSS - Fun Sized Mini Eyeshadow Palette, TARTE - Beauty Bounce Back Makeup Recovery Set, BITE BEAUTY - Agave Treat Trio Mini Agave Lip Mask Set, MILK MAKEUP - The 'Rents Stick Duo, or one of the Stila mini lip trios! I think thereโ€™s a red set, a nude set and a pink set!
