Officially finishing up my holiday gift guide today with a huge list of gift ideas from ULTA!
I went through almost 1000 of these--my mind was practically swirling after doing research in stores and online these past two months. And the testing!
BUT! I found only the best stuff for you to give as a gift (or purchase with your Christmas money perhaps).
I can't wait to hear your faves!
ORNAMENTS
How cute are these beauty ornaments? I wouldn't mind any of these under my tree!
Candy Cane Satin Bow Gift Set--$9.99 (Also, check in stores for their drink tumbler with these products inside)
It Cosmetics Superhero Mini Mascara--$12 (One of my FAVE mascaras. They have a moisturizer ornament too that I love--My Mama got hers early! See more of my faves from It Cosmetics here)
Bare Minerals Naughty LE Matte Lip--$18 (The one item I haven't tried but want on my own list)
Burt's Bees Mistletoe Kiss--$9.99 (They have lots of other gift sets too worth checking out)
Body Shop Bath It Up Snowman--$14 (there's a santa one too...just pretty much all of the Body Shop gift sets are good)
Beauty Gems Lip Gloss Set--$3.33
Soap & Glory Get Into the Smooth--$12 (3 of their best body butters)
HAIR, SKIN, NAILS
Hot Tools--I'm sharing this because it is the BEST deal: two heat styling products for the price of one. These avg around $30, but they are worth the money. AMAZING deal.
ULTA Beauty Sponges + Makeup Setting Spray--$14 (there's a set from Japonesque I recommend as well--that one comes with 2 sponges and a solid cleanser)
Essie Gel Couture Set--$18.50 (Hands down my fave gel-like polish. I can easily get a week out of these with no chips)
ULTA Lip Library--$9.99
PALETTES AND SETS
Pur Love Your Selfie 2--$42 (Get this one or the original with mascara, lip, eyeliner, shadows and more)
Tarte Treasures--$59 (You get the pretty Tartlette palette plus liner and mascara--AMAZING value. ANY of their gift sets are good)
Stila Holiday Dreamer Duo--$9.50
Honest Beauty Jessica's Faves--$36.75
Tarte Goddess Essentials--$30 (ONLINE ONLY--but this one of the BEST deals--full size bronzer and blush--these are my 2 all-time faves from Tarte plus a mini mascara)
Bare Minerals One Hot Mama--$39
Clinique The Sweetest Thing--$39.50
Also would recommend:
- Anything TOO FACED for their holiday collection--I mentioned them in my Sephora post already.
- Skincare--A lot of the deals were great deals, but very expensive so I left them out OR I had already mentioned them in my Sephora post.
- Any holiday from Tony Moly--Usually their products are very cute but gimmicky, but everything in their holiday collection is really good. Sold out mostly online, so check stores.
- Philosophy has a bunch of cute bath sets in holiday scents.
Which of these caught your eye?

This is awesome! So guess what, we used to have to drive an hour to the closest Ulta but our town got one and it opened a couple months ago and it has been my go to for Christmas gifts this year! You picked some of the best gifts as always with your impeccable taste! I hope you have a wonderful day beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes to the Superhero mascara! It's one of my favorites too -- and now I got my mom hooked on it. So many great gift sets!

I love the Essie Gel Couture line so much. I’m my mom’s manicurist and this polish stays on her nails so well. Less work for me! I got one of the Stila Aqua Glow Watercolor Blushes during Black Friday sales and I really like it. I love their liquid lips too so that’s a great set. The Tarte set is a steal too. I’ve recently fallen in love with that mascara. I have a 20% off coupon for Ulta that’s burning a hole in my pocket.
ReplyDeleteLove all of these! That Bare Minerals matte lip is definitely on my wish list and obsessed with that Tarte palette! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
ReplyDeleteOrnament gift sets are my favorite! I love how festive they are with their beautiful packaging <3

That essie gel set is a great price! Buying them separately is pricier! The Body Shop really has great sets!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had an Ulta close by! Those ornaments are adorable. My sister in law would love those and any of these sets. I needed ideas... I haven't followed through on anything yet!
ReplyDeleteGreat roundup, Elle! Surprisingly I've always been mostly impressed with the quality of Ulta brand gift sets. Great, affordable option for the holidays! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Ulta lipsticks but I'm intrigued!

Aside from MAC, I pretty much only shop for makeup at Ulta. I'm loving these gift sets you featured! I feel like most ladies would love to get any of them!
ReplyDeleteI went to Ulta last week and saw most of these items. I had to contain myself because I wanted everything!
ReplyDeleteI want that soap and glory set for myself! Haha!!! The Tarte palettes are always so tempting too, 'just like too faced.
ReplyDeleteSadly we don'y have Ulta here. Boo. I have that Spiced Apple Body Butter by The Body Shop and it's gorgeous! x

I JUST purchased the Soap and Glory body butters and broke them up as parts to other gifts I was giving. I love those things! Amazing for feet this time of year. (;
ReplyDeleteSo many great ideas for gifts and stocking stuffers. I love the palettes you picked out and I'd also love to try out the Bare Minerals Naughty Matte Lipstick.
