18 Christmas Gifts To Get From Ulta This Year

in
This year, more than in other years, it seems like the holiday sales and deals started earlier. That means more time to whittle down your gift list and more opportunities to save while doing it. One of my favorite places to shop is Ulta. Not only can I find great gifts there across several different price points, but I can also find a few things for myself as well.

This year, Ulta has several great gift sets and individual items that will make the recipients of your gifts very happy. When it comes to gift sets, they come in a wide variety. They could be a limited edition product or a value set. And they typically come in pretty packaging. So you don’t always need to spend a lot of time wrapping them.

Here are my 18 top picks, all of which are $50 or less. Oh, and I threw in a few gifts for the guys as well.

This Too Faced set has the Better Than Sex Mascara and the EXTREME LENGTH Ribbon Wrapped Lash Tubing Mascara. Both are very popular. This is a limited edition, so get it while it lasts. 



This is full of neutral shades that are highly pigmented and claim to deliver incredible staying power. The shades included in the palette are a mix of shimmers, metallics, and mattes.


Considering Wicked Part 2 was released this year, I expect to see several collabs with beauty brands. This one has two lip balms that each have a matching charm and a keychain bag.


4. Real Techniques Brush Sets

The Real Techniques brands have great brushes that last quite a while. There are two sets that can make good gits. One is the Everyday Essentials Makeup Brush & Sponge Set, and the other is the Everyday Eye Essentials Makeup Brush Set.


5. Tarte Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler Duo

I've never used an eyelash curler and don't see myself using one anytime soon, but I know several women who do so. I would most likely buy this as a gift versus something for me. 

This gift set includes what Tarte calls the "first ergonomically designed Eyelash Curler" and the Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 mascara.



Hair

6. Kitsch Satin Pillowcase

Satin pillowcases are great for our hair because they are soft and smooth, thereby protecting our hair from damage and drying out at night. This pillowcase comes in several different neutral colors/patterns.


7. Turbie Twist Satin Pillowcases Set

Here's another satin pillowcase option. It may be a better deal because it's a set that includes two satin pillowcases that fit standard and queen-sized pillows. The downside is you don't have the options for colors and patterns like you do with Kitsch.



8. It's A 10 Travel Size Miracle Conditioning Kit

This is a great kit for trying out some of the It's A 10 products
  • Miracle Moisture Shampoo: A lightweight yet creamy shampoo that hydrates and nourishes the hair, increasing shine, elasticity, and reducing breakage
  • Miracle Daily Conditioner: Helps to restore moisture, helps with detangling, increases softness, and reduces frizz. It also provides UV protection
  • Miracle Leave-In Product: This is like a three-in-one product. Not only does it nourish the hair and help reduce frizz, but it also provides natural UV protection and is a thermal protector


9. Kitsch Bottle-Free Beauty 4pc Sampler Set

This is perfect for someone who is an avid traveler or is even trying to be more environmentally friendly. This sampler set comes with two Kitsch shampoo and conditioner duos. There's the Rice Water Strengthening Shampoo and Strengthening Conditioner. As well as the Castor Oil Nourishing Shampoo and Coconut Oil Deep-Moisturizing Conditioner.


10. Batiste Dry Shampoo Duo

I like using dry shampoo when I work out multiple days in a row, which makes me sweat on my scalp. Batiste has great dry shampoos, so this kit is perfect for someone who goes to the gym on a regular basis. It comes with Batiste Original Dry Shampoo. As well as the Batiste Overnight Deep Cleanse Dry Shampoo, which is meant to be used before bed to help prevent oil buildup while sleeping.


Skincare

11. Patchology Serve Chilled Rosé Hydrating Eye Gels

These eye gels are rich in antioxidants to help fight the signs of aging and protect against environmental stresses, all while delivering a mega dose of hydration. You can get these as 1 pair, 5 pairs, 15 pairs, or 30 pairs. The 30 pairs are the most expensive and are over $50.

This is a great gift for the Winter months because our skin could all use a little pick-me-up and moisture during the dry, cold weather. This set includes two travel-sized products
  • Drying Lotion (1.0 oz.)
  • Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs, and Rosewater (2.0 oz.)
This is a budget-friendly skincare brand. Their four-piece daily essentials kit claims to have products that brighten, hydrate, revitalize, and prep the skin for the day. The kit includes the Good Molecules
  • Niacinamide Brightening Toner, which is a gentle, alcohol-free toner that visibly brightens uneven skin tone and minimizes the look of pores
  • Hyaluronic Acid Serum to replenish the skin's hydration levels for a plump, healthy appearance
  • Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel for energizing and awakening tired, puffy eyes with this eye gel powered by sustainably sourced yerba mate extract
  • Silicone-Free Priming Moisturizer, which is a lightweight daily moisturizer formulated without silicone to hydrate and create a smooth canvas for makeup

14. BYOMA 3 Piece Hydrating Trio Set

This is a brand I've been seeing pop up more and more. Particularly in content from estheticians. This particular set includes three products from the brand that claim to provide glowing, hydrated, and dewy results.
  • Creamy Jelly Cleanser 
  • Moisturizing Gel-Cream 
  • Hydrating Serum 


Perfect gift for the men in your life who shave every day or multiple days a week. The set includes a Face Buff Energizing Scrub, a Supreme Cream Triple Cushion Shave Lather, and a Post Shave Cooling Gel.


16. Clinique For Men Starter Kit - Daily Intense Hydration

Men need to do skincare too. This starter kit has three products that provide intense hydration to the skin, and it's not a long skincare routine. The kit has the Clinique For Men Face Wash, For Men Cream Shave. and For Men Maximum Hydrator Activated Water-Gel Concentrate.


17. Jack Black ULTALIP Day + Night 2-Piece Set

These are lip balms made for men. There is one for daytime and one for nighttime. The daytime one has SPF 25 to help protect against the sun. The nighttime one is supposed to provide soothing, replenishing hydration to the lips while sleeping. 


18. Revlon Men's Series Essential Grooming Kit

Give the gift of grooming with this kit. It was designed to be used by a man's hands, has a vegan leather travel case, and four tools – safety scissors, nail clippers, tweezers, and a 3-in-1 nail file.
