Along with the holiday gift guides I've been putting together, I thought it would be fun to come up with a few inexpensive stocking stuffers. This set from C.O. Bigelow is my pick because it's cute, retro, and affordable. The Soda Fountain Mini Mentha Lip Shine Trio ($10) contains three milkshake-flavored lip shines in Vanilla Malt, Double Chocolate and Strawberry Shake. (Double Chocolate smells the best.) They're a little tingly, and they moisturize while adding sheer shine. On its own, it's already a budget buy—but if you divvy up the three lip shines, it's downright cheap.
So that's my suggestion for a beauty stocking stuffer that costs less than a ten-spot. I'm sure you have tons of ideas, too. So for this week's Beauty Mark It challenge, let's all band together to come up with cheap, cool stocking stuffer that costs $10 or less. Share your favorites by tagging your choices with the phrase "under 10." I'll feature the readers' favorites on BellaSugar next Tuesday, December 5.

I'm actually looking for birthday presents for my roomie right now and this sounds perfect for her!
1Doing it now...
2I absolutely love the strawberry mentha!
3Sephora has great stocking stuffers too! Check out the Beauty-To-Go kiosks in the store. Sure, most are over $10, but worth it!
end Sephora plug. Haha.
4Thanks Bella....these are really good lil gifts!
5B&BW sells other flavours, too. The orange creme is really very nice. The cherry cola made my tongue feel weird and had an off-taste. I used it only once.
This looks like a great set, though! The strawberry sounds yummy.
6I have that Soda Fountain trio...the new ice cream flavors smell SO good! It's the perfect stocking stuffer for sure.
7There's LOTS on Sephora! I just checked it out!
8I love stocking stuffers more than anything! Seriously, skip the gifts and give me a stocking full of beauty goodies and I'm the happiest person ever!
I went to CO Bigelow last week for stocking stuffer ideas for my mom. I like how you think Bella!
9Please keep posting these. I have a million people to buy for this year and I'm on a budget. I love these though, I'll definitely have to buy them for the my 17 year old cousin.
10Oooo, what a great gift idea! Thanks!
11I LOVE the mentha lip shine products! They have ones with tint....its awesome. Great hint of color, shine and peppermint feel on your lips. It's my favorite! I stock up on these things everytime Bath and Body Works has a sale.
12These will be perfect for my at work secret santa exchange! Thanks for the great tip.
