The holidays are V into breaking that piggy bank open. I feel like things are getting more and more expensive every year.
Am I right?
Anyways.
One of my favorite parts of gifting is the STOCKING STUFFERS!
Who doesn’t like things that are mini? I mean, they are so damn cute!
Most people get 1-2 “big” gifts and then a bunch of little stuff, which is where the stocking stuffers come in handy.
I feel like some of the best stuff I have got has been in a stocking stuffer, you know, those odd end things, or maybe a sample of something that you wouldn’t ordinarily be able to afford.
This year I am hoping for some fun beauty treats in my stocking, that way I can sample out some things I THINK I am into and they buy later on after testing.
You with me?
So what should you fill your stockings with that won’t deplete the bank?
I got you covered with my TOP 10, which are all $10 or under!
Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional: Matte Rescue Invisible Finish Mattifying Gel
Perfect for the girl on the go and slips nicely into your purse. Used alone or under makeup, the gel is ideal for anyone who wants to remove shine fast. It also has a nice cooling effect that soothes winter-ravaged skin.
$10, available at Sephora
CoverFX: Illuminating Setting Powder Mini
This handy jar contains setting powder that extends the wear of makeup and leaves behind a soft, luminous finish. This make it easier to go from work straight to a Christmas party without the hassle of reapplying your whole face!
$10 available at Sephora
First Aid Beauty: Long Live The Clean
This limited-edition set includes a gentle face cleanser and a non-comedogenic moisturizer — both of which are perfect for those with sensitive skin.
$10, available at Sephora
Sephora Collection: Lip Scrub
I am all about this Honey Lip Scrub. It exfoliates and smooths out in one quick application. It is super gentle and perfect for priming lips. Did I mention this scrub is a HAVEN for girls with chapped and dried lips? Say bye to that nasty white line!
Formulated with natural rice starch, this dry shampoo cleans and deodorizes hair all while adding instant volume. And who wouldn’t love that flower child packaging?
$6, available at Sephora
Amika Perk: Up Dry Shampoo Ornament
I have had continuous bad luck with Dry Shampoo. It doesn’t seem to work on my hair! I have heard so many good things about Amika since it uses natural rice starch which immediately works to absorb excess oils. Get out of here greasy hair!
$10, available at Sephora
Sephora Collection: Three for Me Face Mask Set
A good mask can be V expensive and usually you are only getting one. With this collection you get three of Sephora brands best. It comes in a smoothing Orchid Face Mask to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. An energizing Pomegranate Mask that contains natural pomegranate fruit extract to reduce signs of fatigue and a mattifying, anti-blemish Green Tea Mask that reduces the look of the skin imperfections for clean, purified skin.
$10, available at Sephora
Philosophy: A Glimmer of Grace Mini Duo
First off. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, this brand! Their mission is all about mindful beauty and being true to YOU. This pack comes with two different fragrance rollerballs and is super light and feminine. It makes it the perfect dab for your holiday party.
$10, available at Sephora
Too Faced: More Than Meet the Eyes Duo
I rarely use eye primer – but the few times I have I could see the difference it made on my eye makeup application. With this Too Faced set you get the best of both worlds so your eyeshadow and mascara always last long and look gorgeous. Plus is there a better name for a product than BETTER THAN SEX?
I don’t think so.
$10, available at Sephora
Kiko Milano: 3D Hydra Lip Gloss
I absolutely fell head over heels for this product after picking it up in Italy the summer! SUPER pigmented, long last wear and glossy, glossy, glossy!
It comes in 30 shades and smoothens, brightens and even volumizes your lips! Pucker up for Santa!
$10, available at Kiko Milano
Kiko Milano: Candy Split Eyeshadow
I have found that almost all the Kiko products are highly pigmented so you never have to worry if the color is going to come out the way it looks on the package. It stands up to most skin types and gives you an intense and pure look to make those seductive sex eyes.
$7, available at Kiko Milano
What are some of your fave stocking stuffers? Anything I missed or should add?
Get to stuffing those stockings!

Thank you so much for this list! I’ve seen holiday gift guides everywhere, but nothing with stocking stuffers! You gave me so many great ideas for my nieces!
So glad this was helpful! I was thinking the same thing when I was writing this. They make for nice, small gifts.
Totally bookmarking this because my family and I decided to just do stocking stuffers this year since our family is so big haha.

That is such a good idea for big families! That way you aren’t breaking the bank with gifts for everyone!
This makes me wish we did stocking stuffing here! Love your list, it gave me some ideas as to what to get for others, even if not to fill their stockings. 🙂
I’ll take one of each please! These are all super perfect ideas for cute little add-ons to a friend gift too!

This is a really nice list and great they are affordable but special bits. I particularly like the look of the glimmer of grace duo.
You are right! everything is so much expensive this year. These are absolutely amazing suggestions for stocking fillers without braking the bank.
I love these suggestions! They’re going to be perfect for my sisters!
I love that there are so many to choose from! My mother and sister and sister in law are big on style and hard to shop for. This could work for gift basket type ideas as well.
Beauty products it is indeed! I wish I would have the interests like you and some women to beauty collections like this , I would be so grateful to try.
I love stocking stuffers! These are great ideas and being under 10 dollars are achievable for people to get! Thanks for that! Great list!
These are all such great ideas for stocking stuffers! I love all travel sized things so this is perfect. I need to grab those hydro lip glosses, face masks, and powders! Thanks for the recommendations! xoxo, Christine

I definitely agree ! The stocking stuffers are the best and it’s so fun to choose and also get thoughtful items like these. Really love that mini dry shampoo and the masks! Thank you so much!
Wow thanks so much for lovely idea for stocking suffers !
This will very handy for me …
Nice post !
‘BEAUTY STOCKING STUFFERS $10 AND UNDER’ your title says all. And rest is depicted in your wonderful pictorial pic.
I need to increase my stocking stuffers game next year! Because I am already set for this year ^^ But I love that idea and these under 10$ gifts are just perfect for any girl
I am sure my sister would be thrilled to have any of these in her stocking. I’d want to get the mask set! great selection
These are really great stocking stuffer ideas! I hope Santa brings me some of that lip scrub!
Oh yeah, this is just perfect! Those stocking stuffers would make at least me so happy! It’s a pity we don’t have Sephora, but I will remember the idea and have a look for something like that in other shops.
These are some great picks, I am a huge fan of Benefit, Too Faced and Kiko but I would love to try the other products too.
These are all great suggestions at a great price point! I’m really loving the Philosophy: A Glimmer of Grace Mini Duo with 2 different fragrances.
These ideas are such a lifesaver! I’m always so bad with figuring out what things would be good for stocking stuffers. Thanks for helping a gal out : )

I love those Sephora masks! Affordable and keeps your skin looking flawless.
How are the rules now again? Is one allowed to fill his own stocking? Haha. I’d want almost all of these products in my Christmas stocking for sure!

Great round-up for stocking stuffers! I’m going to take up your suggestions fro setting powder and cleanser.
These are all great ideas! This year will be my first doing this! 🙂
So excited! Can’t wait to buy some of these!

Girl this is perfect! At work we are all taking our own stockings and have to bring a gift to put into each one! Whoa!
Yay! Glad this was helpful!
Wow, nice and affordable. Travel kits will make good stuffers too as you can separate them and gift a few people at one go. I will love the masks, lip scrubs and lip gloss. 🙂
