Beauty Kris Kindle Under €25

Yes, we know. No one really likes the whole Kris Kindle thing. It's stressful, and it often means that you're stuck buying a gift for someone you don't really know that well, or like very much. I mean, what DOES Monica from admin actually LIKE? Apart from her competitive show cats?

Most women will like a beauty-related gift. Even those who aren't au fait with cosmetics will generally enjoy the luxury and pampering nature of a carefully chosen product. But Christmas is a frigging expensive time, and even gifts for those we love are usually bought with a very tight budget. Presuming that your Kris Kindle budget is at a maximum of €25, here are a few nice ideas.

  • Mac Lipstick (€19.50)

Mac is a classic and much-beloved brand. Now, I know that a little lipstick isn't a big, impressive looking gift, but any lipstick lover would hugely appreciate a Mac lipstick. Opt for a cult shade like Ruby Woo, Heroine, or Blankety, and you can't go awry. I'd much rather a small, high quality item that I'll use and love than eight boxes of roses.

  • Victoria Beckham for Nails Inc Polishes (€25 each)

I have to admit that I wanted to hate these, but I don't. They are epically beautiful shades and the quality is great. Bamboo white is a perfect nude, and Judo Red is the perfect shade of red orange. These are too beautiful, and they're limited edition. If you really like the person you're buying a Kris Kindle gift for, both these shades come together for €45. Otherwise, you can have one for €25.

  • Ted Baker London Ladies in Bathing Gift Set (€23)

I love this gift set because it looks more expensive than it is and the washbag is beyond pretty. Whether you want to buy it for a bath addict friend or Debbie in reception who you want to encourage to take a bath (like, EVER), this is a lovely gift. This cute bag contains a body wash, body spray, soap and body lotion. I dare you not to be charmed by the design!

  • Marks and Spencer Chocolate Coated Pretzels (around €3)

Alright, so these aren't a beauty item, but they are a personal obsession of mine. In fact, I'm simply including them in this list in the hope that someone at Beaut.ie HQ buys me three bags for Kris Kindle!

I love chocolate pretzels like Wordsworth loved daffodils. They are everything you want in a snack - sweet, salty, crunchy, smooth, and absolutely obscene. I can't get enough of them. Any foodie who loves salted caramel will happily accept some of these lovelies in their gift. And no, this post hasn't been sponsored by M and S; I just am this into chocolate pretzels!

  • No7 Brush Collection and Purse (€25.50)

Okay, so this gift is fifty cents over budget, but No7 brushes are great and the little gold brush purse is very cute. Plus, the limited edition gold handles are terribly appealing (magpie syndrome) . All your everyday staples are in this neat little set, and it would be an equally good gift for a novice or a makeup master!

Are you stuck in a Kris Kindle vortex of horror? Or do you love the Christmas spirit of it all? Share your thoughts in the comments, and don't be afraid to join in if you're new!
