We get it. Christmas shopping can be difficult and tiring, especially when you have to take into account the likes and dislikes of everyone you’re getting gifts for. In addition, gifting can be expensive too. This is why we have curated this list of beauty Christmas gifts below $20 that won’t break the bank while still being amazing presents for yourself or a loved one.
Do you often feel fatigued since you’ve started to work from home? As the holidays approach, why not take the opportunity to have a relaxing bath with Lush bath bombs? Just place it into a tub of warm water and bask in the fragrance of natural essentials that wafts from the melting bomb. This year, Lush has added a few cute designs, including the floating I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas and the Tick-Tock that contains popping candy.
This body scrub contains moisturising sweet almond and grapeseed oil to aid in exfoliation while keeping skin hydrated. It also fizzes to create pillowy bubbles.
For $16, you’ll get a mini pillow spray and roll-on essential oil container lavender and eucalyptus to aid in your sleep. Gift this to a friend who has trouble sleeping.
We’ve tried this liquid eyeshadow and we found it to be punchy while being lightweight and easy to apply. The packaging makes it perfect for a Christmas tree decoration too.
This gift set contains the Dry Shampoo Dark Tones and the Moroccanoil Treatment. The former helps to absorb excess oils to keep the scalp fresh while the latter is to impart nourishment and shine to the strands.
Isn’t this leopard-print gloves adorable? It contains nourishing mango butter and only needs to be worn for 15 minutes to restore moisture. Especially crucial if you do household on the regular.
The packaging is as important as the gift. For the environmentally-conscious Lush, they have been releasing reusable knot wraps since 2009, inspired by the Japanese Furoshiki, a traditional wrapping cloth to wrap clothes, gifts and more. Use it to wrap your gifts and make it especially heartfelt.
For those who neglect caring for their lips, use this sugar scrub to remove dead skin while moisturising your puckers.
Besides having sun protection, this lip balm is made with coconut and lemon oil. The special design is done by French artist Maïté Franchi.
This star-shaped bath bomb is not only cute, but it also has a soothing berry scent.
Use this basil and thyme fragrance oil to fill your house with a pleasing aroma.
Created in collaboration with Los Angeles artist Steven Harrington, this hand cream trio is only $16, making it a steal.
Local nail brand Nodspark has created multiple festive nail sticker designs to ensure that you look your best at Christmas this year.
Whether you gift this or use it for yourself, this star-shaped loofah will add a dash of Christmas spirit.
