Right on time! Being so close to Christmas, I was looking for the last day present shopping for my colleagues. Happy that I found this post. My budget is usually $20, and all my colleagues are women. And who won’t like to receive some awesome beauty item for Christmas? I love stela cosmetics, even though it will be $5 over my budget, but those eyeshadows look fabulous. I also will look into the Smith’s Rose Bud set! Lip balms are so great especially in winter!
