Holiday Beauty Gift Guide: 10 Fabulous Gifts $20 or less!

Beauty gifts don’t have to break the bank in a tough economy.  Even Oprah has decided to replace her popular "Favorite Things" Show with something a little less lavish.  A little more thrifty, in keeping with the times. In that spirit, and with the holidays fast approaching, I compiled a Holiday Gift Guide of 10 gifts under $20, perfect for the beauty addict on your list.  And, if she's reading, a list that even O might approve of.  

Pomegranate Fig Sugar Body Polish: If you haven't tried one of the invigorating scrubs from Klean Bath & Body, you might want to order two  Pomegranate Fig Sugar Body Polishes and keep one for yourself!  Only $ 11.50. 

Slatkin Frosted Cranberry Candle:  Slatkin candles are some of the best fragranced and high quality candles on the market.  This Frosted Cranberry candle smells wonderful and looks waaay more expensive than it costs!  Pick up this festive Frosted Cranberry Candle at Bath & Body Works. $ 16.50.

Estee Lauder Mascara Traveler Set:  This 3 piece limited-edition Mascara Traveler Set packs a full sized Projectionist mascara plus a travel version and a Lash Primer Plus in a croco case for only $19.50.

LUSH Twinkle Holiday Gift Set.  A twinkling strawberry milkshake scented bath bomb plus a sexily scented moisturizing sparkle bar to make your skin look, feel and smell LUSH.  Get this set for only $ 14.95.

Pacifica Hawaiian Ruby Guava 3 pc Gift Set:  Not only is Hawaiian Ruby Guava an amazing fragrance (one of my faves!), but this gift set at only $16.00, includes a travel sized soy candle, body butter and solid perfume.  Also available in Mediterranean Fig, Avalon Juniper and Tuscan Blood Orange. Check out the Fruits of Paradise candle gift sets for only $ 13.95.  I love Pacifica!

Juicy Couture To Go Fragrance:  This fruity/floral Juicy rollerball fragrance is easy to wear and easy on the wallet at only $ 16.  Available at Sephora.

philosophy's sugar plum fairy set includes a shower gel and lip gloss for $20.  This sugar plum fairy duo would be perfect that hard-to-buy teen or 'tween on your list.  Who can resist the sweet smell of sugar plums and a touch of shimmer?  I can always count on philosophy for gifts that fit into every budget.

How did I not see that Juicy To Go - I guess I need to back to Sephora YET AGAIN to get this for my daughter - I bought her so much Juicy Loves Sephora (or is it Sephora Loves Juicy?) already!

I swear every time I leave a Sephora, I remember something I *forgot*, which just means another excuse to go back! ;)

OH--I'm going to have to check out that Lush set for my girls for Christmas. Yes, like their Mommy, they're already Lush freaks. ;) Thanks for the great list of goodies.

The Pomegranate Fig Body Polish looks nice!

I love Stila products. I think what draws me to it are the little caricatures. Did you hear about the Stila sale they're having tomorrow at hautelook? Marchesa even designed a little kit for them!

I think, of all of this, I would want the Pomegranate Fig Sugar Body Polish the most. It just sounds so decadent. I bet it smells wonderful.
