What to buy for beauty enthusiasts under $25
Oftentimes, beauty products can be quite pricey. The beauty industry is filled with pricey bottles that boast a youthful look, serums that insist the reduction of wrinkles and makeup that persists an airbrushed look. However, just because a product is the most expensive out of the bunch doesn't necessarily mean it's the best. When looking for beauty products, there are some items that can make for great gifts and they won't break the bank.
Beauty products that gear towards healthy skin can often be on the high end of the budget. However, with the emergence of natural ingredients being sought after more than the chemically-infused items, there have been some great options in skincare. Salma Hayek has paired up with CVS to create a skincare line that contains natural ingredients that are proven to actually improve the look and feel of skin. Unlike similar products that can go for upwards of $100 a jar, Salma Hayek's Nuance skincare line offers affordable products that offer huge results. TheAdvanced Hydration Smooth & Firm Perfectorsells for $19.99, theRenewed Radiance Dark Spot Correctorsells for $19.99 and theRenewed Radiance Nutrifying Night Creamsells for $16.99.
While the trend for nails used to center around long nails with acrylic or gel manicures, nowadays it's all about the colors. It seems like every grocery store or pharmacy has a wide variety of nail polish products but picking out an extra special nail product can make for a great specialty gift. Christian Dior offers some great products for nails, with many including a price tag under $25.

Makeup is often used as a utilitarian product to simply cover up skin flaws and create dimension in your overall look. However, makeup can also be whimsical and act as a great treat to uplift your look. MAC often offers specialty makeup products to coincide with a particular theme or celebrity. Their Hello Kitty line was hugely popular for its decorative cases, their Wonder Woman line was great for the inner superhero and the Nikki Minaj line offered the signature colors of her flamboyant looks. Rihanna's new line with MAC has a great lipstick for $16.50,RiRi Hearts MAC Lipstick. Another great option isMAC's Marilyn Monroe Dazzleglassfor $21.50.
When searching for gift ideas for that woman in your life, whether it's a spouse, mother or friend; there are some great options that won't cost an arm and a leg. Check out the less expensive products that don't skimp on quality and purchase a great gift with a price tag that won't eat up your entire gift budget. While most women invest in their beauty products regularly, they don't often splurge on specialty items for themselves. Take advantage of this oversight by getting products that they might not necessarily think to get for themselves. The result will be a fun surprise gift that they will enjoy and perhaps something that will become their new must-have in their beauty regimen.
