The Best Beauty Gifts to Give (and Get)

My essential gifts for women during the holiday season are always about beauty! I find that most people don’t treat themselves and something like a luxury lotion or the latest in makeup is highly appreciated. In my experience, there’s nothing like opening a gift with a new beauty product and wanting to try it right away.

The other advantage of beauty gifts during the holidays? Stores like Sephora and Nordstrom bundle sets with mini versions of popular products one might want to try. This makes the gift feel more solid without being super expensive. These sets are great “value for money” and come at a pretty affordable price point, most of them under $50.

Best Holiday Beauty Gift Sets

Moisturizing Hand Cream and Mask Set

This beautiful set of luxurious hand masks and hand creams is perfect for pampering our hands during the cold winter months. It is formulated without parabens, sulfates, mineral oils, silicones, petroleum and phthalates. All animal products are free and cruelty free.

Ilia Gift Set for Your Eyes

I’ve been a long time fan of Ilia and this set is so fun to try! You can easily give this to a teenager or a girlfriend and they both love it.

Under $50: Shimmer Clean Makeup Kit

Hurry up and buy this set while it’s in stock! Containing only clean beauty products, some of my favorite brands have a little of it all to try.

Olaplex Hair Perfecting Set

I use these products on my hair all the time and recommend them to everyone! While this is a great gift, it might not be a splurge, but it would be fun to try.

Perfume Discovery Set

While everyone has their own personal scent that they like, it’s always a pleasure to try new ones! This exploration kit allows them to do just that.

Beauty Products I Love To Gift

Anti-Aging Moisturizing Lotion

I shared this post I moisturize every day and night, and this affordable lotion will surprise anyone. The best part? It has over 62K reviews, so you know it’s good!

Farmacy Makeup Meltaway Cleansing Balm

This is a definite winner for any beauty lover. Even if he already has something that he uses, that will still be used. My favorite clean one to try to remove my makeup! It can even remove long-wearing waterproof mascara and won’t peel or dry out your skin.

RevitaLash RevitaBrow Eyebrow Cream

This eyebrow cream really delivers! My sparse eyebrows have grown so much that I no longer need to use a pencil! Many of you have tried and reported similar results. If you have a girl on your list with thin eyebrows that most of us do, give them this Revitabrow. It’s a real game changer plus ophthalmologist-formulated, dermatologist-reviewed, hypoallergenic, Non-irritating, oil-free, vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, and it works!

Nail and Cuticle Oil

This would make a great stocking stuffer or even an experience gift if you pair it with a manicure! It helps keep your cuticles and hands super soft all year round.

Lip Wrap Overnight Treatment

I use this lip mask every night and I love it. I use several Ilia products and I really like the brand. Cruelty wages and pure beauty always top my list.

FOREO Luna Mini 2 Sonic Facial Cleanser

This advanced sonic facial cleanser has 8 different settings and three different size brushes for a customizable clean for all skin types. This would make a great gift for the smudge-prone young lady on your list who might be “less determined: take the time it takes to really clean their face at night”.

Ultra Whitening Electric Toothbrush

This toothbrush not only cleans your teeth, but also polishes them to remove surface stains and safely whiten teeth over time.

Jade Roller and Gua Sha Set

Both of these offer facial massages and can help with fine lines and wrinkles, puffiness, and overstretching of the skin. I use my roller at night only to turn it on after I go to bed. Rolling on my chin and cheeks is great for touching and soothing.

Burt’s Bees Hand Repair Kit

Using these products with the supplied cotton gloves will leave your hands soft and well-groomed. This wax hand cream has been my favorite for years!

Naked 2 Basic Eyeshadow Palette

I am a big fan of this palette. I try other sets often but I always come back to this one because they are all matte and the perfect neutral set.

Makeup Brush Set

Who wouldn’t benefit from a new set of makeup brushes? This set includes: 1) Angled Foundation Brush, (1) Blur Brush, (1) Crease Define Brush, (1) Angled Liner Brush, (1) Full Blush Brush, and (1) Storage Tray.

Luxury Beauty Gifts to Give (or Receive)

NuFace Kit

This facial toning device and line smoothing device is an FDA-approved, non-invasive device that is reported to lift and tone facial and neck muscles.

T3 AireLuxe Digital Ionic Professional Blow Dryer

Not ready to splurge on Dyson? This T3 Hair Dryer is a great option! It dries your hair quickly with less damage than most lower-priced options.

Braun Silk-épil 9 9-890 Hair Removal

If you know someone who hates shaving all the time, this gift is for them! I use this once a month on my legs and underarms and that’s it. I never need to use a razor when I travel or worry about scratching my knees again. When the hair grows, it becomes so soft that I barely notice it.
