This is great value, €35 for €115 worth of products. There’s a single shadow from Charlotte Tilbury, a hydrating liquid lip oil, black eyeliner and a eyeshadow stick. The stocking is so cute as well.

This set includes a reusable coffee cup, a makeup bag and several makeup products for under €50. Even if you didn’t want to gift the whole thing to someone, I think it would make great stocking stuffers.

Black Moon Cosmetics is so underhyped, I love their liquid lipstick formula. It smells like vanilla cupackes, it's comfortable and long wearing. They have a lot of great gift sets including this.
