These 12 Secret Santa Gifts From Sephora Are All Under $15

by Alexa Tucker

Secret Santa is one of the most beloved social traditions of the holiday season. It's a fun, lighthearted way to get in the giving spirit, whether you're doing an office-wide exchange or a little get-together with friends. The tricky part: finding a gift the receiver will actually use. But if you've been paired with someone who loves all things beauty, it couldn't be easier — Sephora has you covered.

The beauty mecca has some amazing gift options that fall within different budget guidelines. From mini cult favorites to perfectly paired nail polish sets, teeny liquid lipsticks to skin-restoring masks, the hard part isn't finding the perfect gift. It's narrowing it down to one perfect gift.

As the saying goes, treat others the way you'd want to be treated. So chances are, if you'd love to receive it, they probably will, too. Of course, that's the trouble with snagging Secret Santa goodies at Sephora — you might end up gifting yourself a not-so-secret Santa gift, too.

If you've been tasked with finding a little something-something under $15, here are 12 incredible Secret Santa gifts you can find at Sephora. Throw in a candy cane or two, and you've got the perfect present. (Well, your giftee does, anyway.)
