Holiday Gift Guide: Beauty Under $25
Gift shopping is a total workout. It challenges you mentally, figuring out all the best deals, seeing which place is optimal to buy what. It also challenges you physically, as you try to carry all your gifts from the car in one trip, use one leg to keep the gift wrap from rolling back up again while you wrap presents, then put all the presents in the car to take to your holiday destination. If you’re hosting, you’re tidying the house and developing a meal plan for all your guests.
Regardless of all the challenges, one of the biggest ones is finding affordable gifts! Whether it’s stocking stuffers or a full-on present, here are 15 products under $25 for the beauty obsessed:
