Hands down, one of the best parts of the holidays are gift sets. Beauty brands partner with your favorite stores like Sephora, Target, and Barneys to package their must-have items into limited-edition kits that give you the best bang for your buck. Yes, real steals.
Know someone who's been dying to try some of Charlotte Tilbury's red-carpet approved skincare or maybe smell like the Olsens? We rounded up some of the hottest beauty gift sets of the season. Whether you're shopping for your makeup-obsessed BFF, a last-minute hostess gift, or looking to stock up yourself (hey, why not?), look no further than these covetable beauty buys.
Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Gift Set
Leave it to Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen to create one of the most intoxicating fragrances on the market — a sophisticated blend of violet, sandalwood, and vanilla, feminine with an edge. This set includes the chicly packaged eau de parfum, rollerball, and body oil.
Charlotte Tilbury Red Carpet Ready Set
What do Cara Delevingne, Kate Moss, Penélope Cruz, and Jennifer Lopez all have in common? Yes, they’re famous, but they’re also fans of makeup artist, Charlotte Tilbury, and swear by her eponymous makeup and skin care line. This kit of selfie essentials is perfect for that diva friend. It includes a cheeky, lip-printed cosmetics case, Miracle Glow cleansing balm, Magic Cream (revives dull and dehydrated skin), Wonderglow (like an Instagram filter IRL), and Filmstar Bronze & Glow Duo (get Kim Kardashian cheekbones).
Rodin Lucite Holiday Set-Colorless
Not only is Linda Rodin a NYC fashion icon, but she's also Madonna’s former stylist (#goals). And this beauty set is ideal for the one on your list who has a sophisticated, less-is-more approach to her regimen. The limited-edition lineup comes packaged in a chic lucite box and includes face oil (which has a serious cult following!), body and hair oils, hand cream, and perfume. Trust us, it’s so luxurious that it’s worth every single penny.
E.L.F 11 pc. Brush Set
There’s nothing like receiving a fresh, new set of makeup brushes (when was the last time you washed yours, anyway?). This is a full set for eyes, lips, and face will only cost you $20, making it a budget-friendly secret Santa gift. And the reciever will be forever thankful for the Kabuki Face Brush alone.
Boots No7 Ultimate Collection
Help your cold-climate-based BFF battle the Winter blues (and all it’s elements . . . hello, dryness) with this hydrating set. The offering features six intensely moisturizing skin care products along with a mascara and lip gloss as added pick-me-ups.
Tarte Tartelette 2 in Bloom Amazonian Clay Palette
This universally flattering eyeshadow palette offers 12 shadows (nine matte ones and three shimmer styles) that glide smoothly onto your lids and feel like velvet. Use them to create a wash-of-color day look and smoky eye for nighttime. Those travelling for the holidays will appreciate its portability.
Philosophy Four-Piece Snow Angel Set
If you're headed to a holiday party, then we have your hostess gift. This shower gel, body lotion, body polish, and spritz truly capture the crisp scent of fresh winter snow. Plus, we love miracle-minded messaging!
Leonor Greyl Limited-Edition Luxury Gift Set
Celebrity beauty pros swear by this high-end, French hair collection. It's like skin care for your scalp! This set has everything needed for achieving shiny, healthy hair, indluding multi-use oil, shampoo, conditioner, serum, and more.
Mario Badescu Multimasker
Now trending: #multimasking, using more than one face mask simultaneously to address different skincare concerns. These three mini masks each offer different benefits like clarifying, revitalizing, and deep cleaning. This is a great one for someone who likes to test out new beauty trends or simply enjoys spending Sunday spa nights in the comfort of her own bathroom.
Butter London Twelve Months of Manis
With a shade for every season and mood, it's impossible not to find the ideal highly pigmented mini polish color you crave. You have to have at least one friend on your list who participates in #ManiMonday. Right?
