Whether you’re a beauty buff yourself or just happen to be shopping for one, you should know the holiday season is prime time for sets. It’s that magical period of the year when, instead of committing to one shade of lipstick or one signature scent, sets and minis rule the scene—and just so happen to make the best stocking stuffers imaginable. (Pro-Tip: If they’re too big for a stocking, you can wrap them and set them on the mantle next to the stockings!)
Both online and in stores, Ulta Beauty has a set that every makeup, hair, nail, and self-care connoisseur will think you spent hours picking out. Here are some of our favorites.
Too Faced Lip Injection: The Hype is Real Limited-Edition Lip Plumper Set
Give the gift of fuller lips without the cost or commitment of lip injections. Two best-selling plumping products—Lip Injection Maximum Plump and Lip Injection Extreme—work together to give lips a double dose of tingly, shiny fullness that’s honestly addictive. Consider gifting one and keeping one to see what the hype is really about.
Ulta Beauty Collection Soft Serenity Hand Cream Set
Fight winter dryness with this festive hand cream set. Each of the four creams are the perfect size to stash in a purse, car, desk, or jacket pocket, so your friends can stay moisturized all season long. The four winter scents, from swirled peppermint to glistening snow, are designed to be mixed and matched to create the ultimate holiday fragrance.
Ulta Beauty Collection To The Moon & Back Set
To ensure this childhood favorite keeps its allure as we age, Ulta Beauty created a beauty piñata and stuffed it with tiny treats that are sure to keep your recipient glowing all season long. This stocking stuffer doubles as a party game which, once opened, reveals 10 makeup minis: a chubby eyeshadow crayon, liquid shimmer eyeshadow, face gems and tattoos, lip oil, lip gloss topper, chubby matte lip crayon, highlighter, bouncy blush, plus an under-eye cooling stick and lashes. No need to swarm the broken moon for the good stuff; it’s all top tier at Ulta Beauty.
Ulta Beauty Collection Classic Mug Set
The ultimate stocking stuffer, Ulta Beauty Collection’s Classic Mug Set includes must-have products for staying warm by the fire. Glittery fuzzy socks (a cold-weather staple), winter vanilla hand cream, and swirled peppermint foot cream all come nestled inside a navy and copper mug that’s just begging to be filled with hot cocoa. It’s so cute that you might need to buy one for yourself, too.
Ulta Beauty Collection Santa Mystery Bag
Sometimes the best stocking stuffers are ones that surprise everyone—gift-giver included. Ulta Beauty Collection's Santa Mystery Bag is an understated holiday-themed pouch that packs a big punch of self-care. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a break from the season, or just a moment of alone time. We could tell you what’s in it, but where’s the mystery in that?
Ulta Beauty Collection Good Energy 4 Piece Nail Set
Nails are having a moment in 2022—from DIY acrylics to coffin-shaped—and it’s sure to continue through the new year. The Ulta Beauty Collection Good Energy 4 Piece Nail Set is perfect for anyone who’s been perfecting their own hands this year and is looking to become a master, or simply wants to save a few bucks here and there. The four shades—Opalrose, Quartzpink, Sapphire, and Moonstone—are suited for every season. Plus, once your giftee reaches pro status, they may even offer you a free mani-pedi as a thank you.
