Beauty Must Have Gift Ideas Under $40

For this third installment of my gift series, I am focusing on beauty must haves.  All of the items in this post are under $40, and many of them would also make great stocking stuffers.  These 6 items are ones I personally use regularly, and none are sponsored.  To make life easy, I have chosen all items that can be purchased on Amazon.  That means if you are a prime member, you will have these gifts lickety split with free shipping!  Hooray for last minute shopping!

Wet Brush Pro:

This is one of the best brushes I have ever owned.  It is made to use on wet hair, just out of the shower.  It provides painless detangling with less hair pulling out, and who doesn’t need that?  This is a must have beauty product for anyone.

Asa Vea Straightening Brush:

I found this little gadget on Instagram about a year ago, and it has been perfect for my quick ready routine in the morning.  Normally my hair requires a little bit of flat iron in order to not look frizzy. I have found that a couple of quick brushes through my dried hair with this, and the frizz is gone.  It straightens like a flat iron, but in much less time. Although I haven’t completely given up my flat iron for days when I want a bit more perfection,  the straightening brush is an amazing gadget for days when I am on the go.  This is a great gift for anyone who regularly uses a flat iron.

Wowlily Silicone Cleansing Brush:

This is another find that popped up on my Instagram feed a few months.  It is a vibrating silicone brush that you use to cleanse and exfoliate your skin.  I use this gadget every night, and I found that my skin gets much cleaner than just using my hands.  You can use any cleansing product with this tool, and I even use a gentle scrub cleanser with it for double duty exfoliation.  With the under $20 price point, this is a no-brainer for a stocking stuffer, and to pick up for yourself.

Preheels Spray:

Admittedly I was a bit skeptical of this one when I first saw it.   However, I will try just about anything to make my shoes more comfortable!  This spray goes on your feet in areas that rub from shoes, and adds a thin barrier to protect.  It is almost like adding a preemptive band aid in the stubborn blister areas (mine is always the back of my ankles).  This spray surprisingly works quite well in preventing those stubborn blisters from the shoes we women insist on wearing that look great, but aren’t as outstanding in the comfort department.

Micro-Needling Tool:

One of my favorite things about getting a facial is the micro-needling that my aesthetician does to my skin.  This helps boost collagen production, and minimizes my stubborn forehead wrinkles while I fight the urge to get Botox for the first time.   I recently discovered that you can use a micro-needling tool at home.  There are several of these on the market.  Nordstrom has one for about 5 times the price that a lot of bloggers have put on their gift suggestion lists this season.

In my constant quest to navigate the world of luxury for affordable alternatives, I began to research.  I found a few articles that mentioned this particular micro-needling tool as the best performing for the price, however, there are several on the market in this price range with strong recommendations.   I have been using this tool about three times a week for a month, and I feel like it performs as well as the one during my regular facial.

Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer Set:

I am a loyal fan of the entire Burt’s Bees lip line.  I started using their lipsticks and tinted balms a few years back, and I now have fewer issues with dry lips because of it.  This Lip Shimmer is my ultimate cosmetic item.  If I leave the house with nothing else, it is this product.  In a pinch, I can even use it to give color to my cheeks, as well as my lips.   This gift set is a great value because it is 3 colors for the normal price of two, and they are 3 good versatile shades.  This is another no-brainer stocking stuffer for all the women on your list.
