6 Beauty Stocking Stuffers Under $5 - Holiday Gift Guide

You don't have to break your wallet to buy wonderful gifts for every single relative, friend, neighbor and associate. You can stuff stockings plump with beautiful gifts bought at lovely prices. Below are some fantastic holiday gifts for $5.00 or under:

Sun Bum SPF 30+ Flavored Lip Balm (Sun Bum, $3.99)

These smooth SPF 30 sunscreen lip balms contain cocoa butter, aloe, vitamin E and come in various yummy flavors such as Banana, Pink Guava, Mango, Coconut, Key Lime and Pomegranate. Toss one of these in every stocking to ensure all lips are soft and forever smiling.

Boscia Pink Peppermint Blotting Linens (Sephora, $5.00)

This slim, sparkling, pink package of 100 blotting linens infused with the invigorating essence of peppermint fits perfectly into your pocket, handbag, or desk drawer so you can instantly blot away excess oil and pep your face without disturbing your makeup. I am a true believer in Boscia blotting sheets and they usually retail for double the price.

Soap & Glory Hand Food Hand Cream (Sephora, $5.00)

Everyone appreciates a portable hand cream for the dry winter season. This eye catching hand cream is made with shea butter, macadamia oil, and marshmallow. Smooth hands mean more hand holding.

boscia Restorative Day and Night Moisture Creams

boscia is a comprehensive line of skincare that contains products completely free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic dyes, phthalates, GMOs and triclosan. Their Restorative Day and Night Moisture Creams help diminish the appearance of uneven skin tone, dullness, and fine lines while fortifying the complexion against future damage.

Restorative Day Moisture Cream SPF 15 and Restorative Night Moisture Cream ($48 each)

The boscia moisturizing creams are extremely hydrating and non-greasy. I find the night cream extra moisturizing. Most importantly, the creams did not cause me to break out, which is what a lot of hydrating moisturizers tend to do. The day cream contains SPF 15, which makes it an excellent base for my makeup. After two weeks of usage, I have noticed a brightening effect on the face, but no signs of diminishing discoloration or fine lines yet.

The packaging is gorgeous. You can very easily and sanitarily control how much cream you get out by gently pushing down on the top. The downfall is that you cannot tell how much is left. You must also be careful to scrape every bit of cream off or it will dry in the hole. It has happened to me twice with the day cream. I was left with an almost grainy texture when I accidentally picked up a bit of dry cream left on top.

Push down gently and the moisturizer comes up.

You can find boscia products at most Sephora locations or at bosciaskincare.com.
