The Absolute Best Beauty Stocking Stuffers Under $30

I gasped when I saw this set! This adorable quartet of Cosrx’s best sellers is an ideal stocking stuffer for just about any skin-care lover. It includes the brand’s Good Morning Cleanser (great for purifying and balancing pH), AHA/BHA Clarifying Toner (excellent for clarifying the skin), Snail Mucin Essence (one of my all-time favorites for nourishing and repairing the skin), and Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion (a lightweight yet effective day or night cream).

Anyone who loves skin-care gadgets will love this gold bar, which is a dead-on dupe for the $200 Jillian Dempsey one. It vibrates and gets into all the little nooks and crannies of your face to massage, lift, and invigorate. Apply it with a good old face oil in the morning to liven up your skin. Also, Tracee Ellis Ross is a fan!

Got a Gen-Z little sister? Perhaps the cultiest, most Instagram-friendly lip balm around is this one from Glossier. It comes in many flavors and tints, so there’ll be one to match your stocking recipient’s preference. My personal favorites are Blackberry (a berry, jammy shade), Coconut (which is clear but smells amazing), and Fig (the newest of the bunch, which has a coral-y tint).

These stainless-steel, freezer-friendly tools are a wonderful way to depuff your under eyes and knock down any kind of inflammation from stubborn breakouts. Be sure to place these on your skin for one minute, then take them off for one minute to be sure you don’t burn your skin with the freezing cold. This is an excellent gift for anyone who has an early wake-up call — these freezing tools won’t just de-puff, they’ll wake you right up! — or anyone who has a little bit of a skin-picking problem, as they’ll relieve the redness from a spot without poking and prodding.

You can’t go wrong with Skin Food! It’s a deeply, deeply moisturizing multipurpose balm that can be used on elbows, hands, cuticles, or really anywhere you’re feeling dry or dehydrated.

This peeling solution from the Ordinary went viral after one TikToker posted a video claiming it had dramatically improved her hormonal breakouts. After the video went up, 52,000 people purchased it! It’s a blend of AHAs and BHAs, so it works to deeply, deeply exfoliate and resurface your complexion. This is a great stocking stuffer for anyone you know who’s a little bit too obsessed with TikTok. It’s strong, though — so be sure to tell them to use this once a week max!

For any French-drugstore obsessive, this neutral, non-fussy moisturizer gives your skin the perfect slip for makeup and is beloved by just about every major makeup artist, from Hung Vanngo to Pat McGrath.

If there’s a skin-care lover in your life who’s always buying and discarding single-use eye masks, do them a favor and introduce them to Dieux, a brand that has created a remarkable and effective reusable eye mask. Just tap on your favorite eye cream, then apply these masks on top; they help create an occlusive barrier that allows your skin to absorb the product better. When you’re done, wash the masks and put them back in their little case for next time. Pro tip: Keep them in your fridge for an extra-cooling and depuffing effect. You’ll be grateful after you’ve had one too many glasses of wine with dinner.

This lip mask from Tatcha is an excellent bedtime treatment after those cold and windy winter days. A blend of omega-rich camellia oil and Japanese peach calms irritation, while rose extract hydrates chapped lips. It’s a little thick for daytime use, but I absolutely love it as an overnight treatment whenever my lips are really dry.

There’s a reason this is one of the most popular products for damaged hair. Olaplex No. 3 is an at-home treatment (not a conditioner) that helps repair protein bonds that are broken during chemical processes like bleaching, dyeing, and relaxing. Apply it to damp hair, leave it on for about ten minutes, then go about your normal shampoo and conditioning routine.

Just about anyone could benefit from having this hydrating, pick-me-up mask in their skin-care arsenal this winter. This mask’s cooling, moisturizing, gel-based formula incorporates rose-hip seed oil and aloe leaf juice to hydrate, plump, and smooth dry skin.

This gel-to-foam, non-stripping body wash from Necessaire is a favorite of many beauty lovers, including Fenty Skin’s global ambassador and licensed aesthetician Sean Garrette. It comes in sandalwood, eucalyptus, or fragrance-free — all are an absolute dream.

This mask trio was created to help treat all skin concerns, according to the brand. Big Drip, a sheet mask soaked in a cocktail of hydrating and reparative ingredients such as omega-rich Irish moss, antioxidant-rich marula oil, and calming rosa centifolia; Big Glo, a balancing, radiance-boosting mask that uses vitamin C–rich pomegranate and healing white lily; and Big Chill, a restorative and soothing mask that uses calming aloe vera and anti-inflammatory centella. Big Drip seems ideal for days when skin’s feeling tight from all that dry winter air; Big Glo for when you’ve picked at your skin (don’t!) or stayed up past your bedtime; and Big Chill for when you’re looking red and blotchy after a day of walking around in the cold in a face mask.

This New Leaf cleanser from Soko Glam’s brand Good (Skin) Days is a creamy treatment that hydrates while simultaneously giving the skin a deep cleanse. A blend of soothing, healing, and moisturizing ingredients like fermented green tea, spinach, celery, and crushed mugwort diminish irritation and redness. Your skin will feel clean, refreshed, and bouncy, with no tightness whatsoever.

This soothing, moisturizing facial mist is fragrance-free, dermatologist-tested, and has received the seal of approval from the National Eczema Association, so it’s suitable for even the most sensitive-skin types. This mist uses a stabilized form of hypochlorous acid, which is naturally found in our white blood cells, and can help defend our skin against (and heal our skin from) environmental stressors and bacteria. The gentle, three-ingredient formula makes it great for liberal application: You can use it at the end of your skin-care routine or whenever you want a moisture boost. This is a great gift for any hypersensitive-skin types who are wary of any stripping or astringent toners — you can assure them this facial spray product won’t trigger irritation.

These adorable star-shaped pimple patches suck out oil and puss from your zits (if you wear them to bed, your zits will be flattened considerably by morning) all while being totally adorable. These are a celebrity favorite spot treatment — Hailey Bieber and TikTok star Charlie D’Amelio are fans.

Have you noticed that your loved one’s feet have gotten extra dry in quarantine? Well you’re not alone! Apparently, how little we wear our shoes these days is actually creating a build up of dead skin on our feet. But these exfoliating foot treatments will get rid of all that. You’ll shed like a snake for a few days, and then lovely soft feet appear. These are marvelous!

These cheap and cheerful, highly pigmented sparkly eyeshadows add a little twinkle to the eyes this holiday season. This color, “frog” is a lovely frosty pink that I’ve found is a great dupe for the celebrity-beloved Hourglass Scattered Light eyeshadows.

This silicone-free hair oil is a blend of kakadu plum oil, safflower oil, and capryl capric triglycerides, which work together to deliver hydration and shine to your hair. This is great for anyone with dry or damaged hair.

These are just about the most luxurious lip balms you can gift someone! This runway-approved balm trio uses vitamin E and shea butter for hydration and leaves behind a soft, bitten tint.

For any Muppets fan, this cream blush palette from U.K. brand Ciaté is a must. Ciaté is known for its dew-inducing, easy-to-blend formulas — and this Miss Piggy palette should be no exception!

This perfect, blue-red, festive liquid lip is known for being flattering on all different skin tones and extremely long-wearing (it can last through meals, and, as Riri says “even when you make out”) Any red lip lover would adore this!
