Christmas On a Budget - $20





Christmas time is just around the corner, and despite claiming that I would be buying well in advance, I've found that it's really snuck up on me quickly, and I'm running out of time! 

So I thought I'd do a weekly list, depending on your budget. This week I've decided to start from the bottom, with a budget of $20. So, this is basically a few goodies you could get for a friend if you don't have a lot of money to spend, but still want to get them something lovely!

I've seen more than a few other bloggers do this as well, so there are heaps of these lists out there to help out!

1. NYX Super Fat Eye Marker - $15.99

The NYX Super Fat Eye Marker is basically that, a marker for your eyes. I've heard great things about this, and if you're buying for somebody like me who can't live without her eyeliner, than this would be the perfect gift!
You can buy this here.

2. China Glaze Let it Glow set - $16.95

Crush Cosmetics actually have a few of these sets, but I liked the Let it Glow set the best. It features 3 gorgeous China Glaze Christmas polishes, and also comes with a scented candle! You can't get more Christmas than that! This is a really great value set, and seems like it's worth a lot more than $16.95!
You can buy this here.

3. The Body Shop Strawberry Choc Bon Bon - $12.95

This is an absolutely gorgeous little Christmas novelty! It comes with two mini shower gels, the Strawberry shower gel and the Chocomania shower gel, packed up in a cute bon bon! This is a great little gift for those who don't even know much about beauty, as you can never go wrong with shower gel!
You can buy this here.

4. Lush Sweet Christmas - $10.95

Who doesn't love Lush? This is a cute little bath set which includes a Rock Star soap and a Candy Mountain Bubble Bar, both of which are part of the limited edition Christmas Candy collection! They come already wrapped up in an adorable box, so there's nothing else you need to do!
You can buy this here.

5. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream set - $12.00

This is a super cute set. This includes three lip creams, all in very flattering colours. It also dries matte, which means you won't be giving somebody any icky, gooey cheap lipgloss for Christmas, which I remember as part of my adolescence from well-meaning family members!
You can buy this here.

6. Kit Cosmetics Nail Polish - $15.95

Although this is a little bit expensive for just one nail polish, I figure I'd add it to the list anyway! If you're looking for stocking fillers, or just one or two things, then this is probably something you could add! Kit Cosmetics Nail Polish have a great range of colours, and some are even scented!
You can buy them here.

7. Kleancolor Nail Lacquer Mini Collection in Neon - $4.99

I am a huge fan of Kleancolor nail polish! The colours are just beautiful and the quality is excellent for the price! I have one of the mini collections, and it is just adorable! The mini bottles are slightly bigger than the mini OPI bottles, so I feel you're really getting more for your money! Neons are definitely in this season, but they have a few other types of themes if you're not interested in neon!
You can buy them here.

8. Rimmel London Beauty Must Haves Set - $20

I believe this is in store only, but this is a fantastic deal for the price! A lipgloss, a mascara, 2 nail polishes and a kohl eyeliner! That's good value there, plus you get a beautiful black cosmetics case! I have a similar set I purchased from Target, which came in an orange case, and I love it!
Check here for information.

9. Garnier Pure Gift Pack - $19.95

Another in store only offer, this pack comes with the Pure 3 in 1 Scrub & Mask, Pure 24 Hour Daily Moisturiser and the Pure Pore Purifying Astringent. The 3 in 1 Scrub & Mask costs over $10 alone, so it's definitely a pack worth investing in! I used to be addicted to the scrub, so I can tell you it's good!
Click here for more information.

10. Coastal Scents 12 Piece Brush Set - $17.95

Coastal Scents brushes are very decent brushes for the price, and having a good set of brushes should be a staple for any girl's makeup kit. This is the perfect set, good quality and not too damaging to the bank account!
You can buy this here.



So hopefully this has helped at lease a little bit! Keep an eye out for my Christmas Wishlist that I'll update soon!
