Happy Friday everyone! I am so excited to kick off my annual gift guide series with today’s post. It may only be the very beginning of November, but the holiday season will be here in less than eight weeks. Can you believe that?? If you’re starting to think about shopping for all the loved ones on your list like I am, I hope that you will find these guides a helpful resource throughout the season. Every Friday I will have a brand new guide live, so be sure to check back for more ideas and inspiration. And to jump right into the festivities, today I am bringing you a gift guide for beauty lovers!
I put a lot of thought into the gift guides I create, so each item I recommend has my full stamp of approval. It’s either something I already own and adore, something I’m asking for on my own Christmas list, or something I think anyone would be thrilled to receive as a present. This beauty gift guide is a reflection of that, AND I think it comes at perfect timing. Each of the items I’m including are currently on sale as a part of Sephora’s biannual savings event. Sephora Rouge members can save 20% off their purchase, Sephora VIB members can save 15% off their purchase, and Sephora Beauty Insiders can save 10% off their purchase now through 11/6 with code TIMETOSAVE.
Let’s jump into the gifts!
Dior Addict Beauty Ritual Set – You can’t go wrong with gifting Dior during the holidays. The brand feels special enough on its own, but when you add in a gorgeous gift set, it’s a no-brainer. The Dior Addict Beauty Ritual Set includes a full-size Dior Lip Glow, a full-size Dior Addict Lip Maximizer gloss, samples of the Capture Totale Le Serum and Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet fragrance, as well as a velvet makeup pouch. This kit is under $100 before the discount and packed with some of their best selling and best performing products. This is an elegant and luxe present for any beauty lover.
‘REPLICA’ Travel Spray Set – The Maison Margiela REPLICA perfumes are my absolute favorite. I have absolutely adored them for years and think they make fabulous presents. They’re luxurious, long-lasting, and the scents are to-die-for. This travel spray set is such a fantastic buy, in my opinion. It includes three of my top scents from the brand – Jazz Club, By The Fireplace, and Autumn Vibes. They’re all perfect for cozy fall and winter vibes. And the fact that they’re travel-sized means they’re easy to take on-the-go. I highly recommend this, especially at the under $80 price point.
Farmacy Tea Harvest Green Clean Trio – This is a kit that I picked up myself with my Sephora discount. I’ve tried the original Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm and love it. It’s a gentle, easy makeup removing and cleansing duo that comes in a solid balm formula. It works wonders on tough products like waterproof mascara. This kit is a wonderful gift idea for any skincare junkie, as it has three limited edition scents exclusive to this set. It’s also a great value – before any discount, it’s $49 for $72 worth of product. This would also be fun to buy to split up for stocking stuffers, gift baskets or presents for friends.
Farmacy Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum – This product single-handedly revolutionized my skin. For years, I’ve struggled with bumps and texture on my face, especially my forehead. It wasn’t acne, and I couldn’t find any product that would make them go away. That is, until I tried the Honeymoon Glow serum. I use this serum nightly. It works to hydrate, clarify dull skin, exfoliate dead skin cells, promote cell renewal, reduce hyperpigmentation and reduce the appearance of fine lines. My skin has literally never looked fresher, smoother or more glowing than it does now. This is a product I will repurchase until they stop making it lol. I highly recommend it for anyone on your list who is into skincare or is looking to refresh their routine.
Dae Holidae Hair Stylers Set – Dae is one of my favorite brands, and this is a set that I’d love to receive this year! It includes the Cactus Fruit 3-In-1 Styling Cream, the Agave Dry Heat Protection & Hold Styling Mist, and a Dual-Edge Styling Brush. I have heard nothing but rave reviews about the styling cream and the heat protectant. I’m dying to try them. Dae is such a happy, fun haircare brand that always delivers quality products. I’ve literally never been disappointed by anything I’ve ever purchased from them. I think any teen or 20-something would love to receive this!
Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm – These lip balms are incredibly popular right now and would make such great stocking stuffers or gifts for friends. I find them to be a hybrid between a gloss and a balm. They’ve got great pigment, and you can easily get away with wearing them on their own. If you know someone on your list is a beauty lover, but you aren’t quite sure what to get them, this is a fab and safe choice.
Pat McGrath SatinAllure Lipstick – This is a lipstick that’s on my own Christmas list this year. And I can’t lie – half the reason is because of the packaging. I am a sucker for bows, and this lipstick is just so feminine and beautiful. But the other half is because of the formula. I have seen so many swatches of these lipsticks, and they just look insanely gorgeous. I’m pining after Infatuation, which is a glossy berry pink that I think will be so pretty to wear in the cold winter months.
Refy Red Collection Lip & Cheek Set – I have seen this kit all over social media, non-stop. People are going crazy for it. Red is definitely the color of the season, and makeup is such a fun way to play around with the trend. Refy is a very popular brand at the moment, and I think this would be a lovely gift for any 20-somethings on your list. This particular set includes their lip sculpt lip liner, a mini gloss and a cream blush all in shades of cherry red. I’m definitely intrigued, and the price makes it even better. It’s only $40 before the discount!
Ilia Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara – This is hands-down my favorite mascara of all time. I only ever purchased drugstore mascara before I tried this one, and now, nothing else compares. It’s lengthening, thickening and gives you the blackest, boldest lashes while still looking incredibly natural. Whoever is behind the formula of this product is a genius. This is a fab stocking stuffer idea for any woman on your list. Just trust me – they are going to LOVE it.
The 7 Virtues Cherry Ambition Eau de Parfum – I purchased this perfume with my Sephora discount, as well, and it is SO GOOD. It’s so good. If you love cherry scents, you will absolutely die when you test it. It’s the most delicious, alluring cherry scent that reads incredibly elegant and almost kind of mysterious. I feel like this is the kind of fragrance people will stop you in the street for. It’s so unique, and I don’t have anything like it in my collection. On my skin, the cherry fades after a while, and I’m left with a warm and woodsy scent that’s almost unisex. It’s definitely a nighttime perfume, and I’m obsessed. This is the perfect gift to get for your significant other.
Charlotte Tilbury The Beautyverse Palette – This is such a stunning eyeshadow palette that also feels special enough for a holiday present. The packaging is gorgeous and glittery, just like the shadows on the inside. Charlotte Tilbury always delivers, and I think this palette is no different. The mattes are buttery, soft, and super easy to blend. The glitters are a fun topper that you can add to any eye look. And there’s also a shimmery shade, too, for all-over sparkle. Any girly-girl would totally love this.
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil – The Dior lip oil is an internet sensation and for good reason. Exceptionally glossy, super hydrating and totally luxe, this is a gift that literally any female on your list would be excited to receive. Your mom, your sister, your girlfriend. Anyone – like I said earlier, you can’t go wrong with Dior. There’s a variety of shades to choose from, but I’m personally partial to Cherry. It’s a sheer but popsicle red that makes natural makeup look effortlessly lovely.
