10. Arissa Trendy Lip Palette. Recently, shopping Cherry Culture I found myself drawn to this lip palette for several reasons. The colors lured me in, however; what made me even more interested was the price. In a nutshell, you get 6 lipglosses for the bargain price of $3. If that isn’t a steal, I don’t know what is.
9. E.L.F. Essential Eyeshadow Collection. With this particular gift, you will receive an eyebrow brush, a set of tweezers, eyebrow gel & powder, brow setting mascara, and 4 individual re-usuable stencils. I don’t know about you, but if I can purchase an amazing eyebrow gift set for such an amazing price, I may just purchase one for all of the wonderful ladies in my life.
8. L.A. Colors Eye Design Palette. If you can imagine getting 30 different eyeshadows for the bargain price of $5. That is exactly what the case is when it comes to this particular palette. Choose from 2 different sets which include “Design” (which is more “warm” inspired and has more brown shades) and “Invent” (which is more “cool” inspired and has more pink and purple shades). Plus, the palette comes in a compact case and includes a double-ended applicator.
7. Profusion Spotlight Lip/Eye Palette. You get 6 lipglosses, as well as, 6 eyeshadows in one set. You also get a double-ended applicator, making it relatively easy to apply makeup. The case is really compact and possesses a cute poka-dot print, which makes it very fun. You can find this item at your nearest ULTA.
6. L.A. Girl Lip Palette. This lip palette comes in not 1, not 2, but 9 different sets. These sets include: Delicious, Fall In Love, Jubilee, Eternity, Irresistible, Box Of Chocolates, Passion, and Paradise with my personal favorite being “Fall In Love”. Whether you are looking for an inexpensive side gift or a stocking stuff, this should be in your beauty bag right now.
5. E.L.F. 5-Piece “Get the Look” Eye Set. You basically get an eyeshadow trio, lengthening & defining mascara in black, liquid eyeliner in black, an eyelash curler, and an eyeshadow brush. What I love about this amazing gift set is the fact that it’s available in not 1 trio of eyeshadow shades, but 3 which include Brown, Purple, and Smoky. Getting all of these products for only $5 is like an incentive to the soul for the average makeup enthusiast looking to save money.
4. Zalan Cosmetic Boutique Gift Set. This wonderful addition to Zalan includes 6 eyeshadows in one palette, 4 stand-alone cubed lipglosses, a stand-alone blush palette, a lip brush, a blush brush, and several applicators making this a makeup gift to not only value, but to value for it’s value. For only $5, Zalan has recently introduced this gift set and I have to admit, I think I want it now.
3. L.A. Colors Private Eye Palette. Recently, when shopping at Cherry Culture I had the great pleasure of discovering this palette. You basically get 24 eyeshadows for only $5. The colors are flexible, making this a palette to appreciate. This palette comes in 2 individual sets which include “Stake Out” (which includes more bold, lighter shades) and “Witness” (which includes more bold, darker shades). If you can’t decide which one you want to purchase, get them both because in the end, you are still only spending $10.
2. Amuse Butterfly Face Kit. You will get 12 different eyeshadows, as well as, 6 cream based eyeshadows and 2 eyeshadow primers. Mirror and applicators are included. Not only is this makeup gift perfect if you are on a budget, as it costs only $2.50, but it’s creative and I guarantee whoever receives it, will love it.
And the number one gift under $5 for the makeup enthusiast in your life is…
1. Amuse 42 Color Eyeshadow Kit. Available at Cherry Culture for just $5, this eyeshadow palette includes not 10, not 20, but 42 eyeshadows in a stand-alone palette with a mirror. To top it off, the faux croc case gives it so much character, you are destined to make a statement. You can choose from an array of colors that include black, dark gray, or purple. You can’t even get this type of deal at a Dollar Store. Looking for the best makeup gift under $5? This is the one.
