1. Stila With Flying Colors Liquid Lipstick Set paints their pouts with all-day color in some of Stila's most-loved shades to date — these bbs are the only thing they'll need to make a statement at all of their holiday parties.
2. Korres Hydrating Luxury Hand Cream Trio makes absolutely sure every inch of their credit card swipers/inserters (their "hands") stay buttery soft, smelling extra nice and floral/fruity, and free of cracks and redness.
3. What better gift is there than one created by Rihanna? (Trick question, there isn't one). Fenty Beauty Snow Daze & Snow Nights Frosted Metal Lipstick Sets are perfect for any lipstick fiends in your life — especially since their lipstick collection is probably lacking in the ~frosty ice kween finish~ department.
4. Peter Thomas Roth Meet Your Mask Sampler Kit helps them narrow down what masks their skin loves the most without breaking the bank — or, if their skin needs different issues addressed at certain times/seasons, boy oh boy, here's everything they could possibly need!
5. Oribe Travel Sets are simply beautiful to stare at. But, to be specific, Beautiful Color keeps your friends' colored hair in tip-top shape — meaning it extends the life of their color, prevents UV rays from fading it, and keeps their damaged strands smooth and moisturized — while Cote D’azur Body keeps their entire bod silky AF and smelling like Calabrian bergamot, white butterfly jasmine, and sandalwood.
6. Tatcha Pampering Camellia Trio delights your skincare-obsessed friends and family members with three full-sized (!!!), extremely luxe and hydrating products that gently cleanse every inch of their bod from makeup and dirt and make their lips look incredibly glowy and healthy.
7. Tarte Tartelette Vault sets them up for life — as least in the arena of neutral (browns! golds! coppers!) and reddish eyeshadow shades — so let 'em go crazy and blend away! They're probably going to need more brushes though.
8. The Body Shop Strawberry Festive Picks envelops a very lucky bod in sweet, sweet smelling strawberry scents — akin to dunking oneself in a bath of crushed strawberries surrounded by strawberry plants in in a strawberry orchard, I assume.
9. Julep Divine Shine 12-Piece Ultra-Hydrating Lip Gloss Collection adds a sheer-to-medium wash of color with abundant shine, while hydrating their dried-out lips with ~hyaluronic filling spheres~, camellia seed and kukui nut oils, and seaweed extract. They can be worn alone, or on top of matte lippies!
10. Maybelline Bestie Bundle Makeup Kit, curated by actual BFFs and beauty influencers Desi Perkins and Katy DeGroot, gives them an unforgettable glow up that lasts through dinners, drinks, dancing, and whatever else the night brings!
11. Too Faced Under The Christmas Tree Set features three eyeshadow and face palettes that magnetically form a Christmas tree — because gifts should look as cute and unique, otherwise WHAT IS THE POINT? Plus, you could totally just gift each palette to a different friend if you're in a $$$ pinch.
12. Burt's Bees Classics Gift Set is just what their hands, feet, lips, and any other rough spots need to get through the damn winter — like you, this kit is highly reliable. 😉 But with a higher concentration of beeswax, shea butter, coconut, and peppermint oil.
13. Briogeo Hair-O-Scopes Brightest Stars Gift Set breathes life back into weakened hair from root to tip, from shampooing, conditioning, overnight treating, and pre-heat protection — whew, just what the hair doctor ordered!
14. Sunday Riley Good Genes Holiday Kit is basically a skincare first aid kit — it addresses everything from pesky breakouts to dry patches to dull-looking skin, but it also provides ~long-term benefits~ when used consistently. Can Santa do that? (Nope, only you.)
15. Physicians Formula Nude Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Kit has everything they need to nail a subtle, everyday look, but it can also easily be built up to something darker and smokier for nighttime hangs.
16. Glow Recipe Watermelon Jelly Tote makes it super easy to pack in all of their faves — a cult-fave moisturizer and sleeping mask, as well as a super-cooling jelly mask — to go, and super easy to show off (hello, the cutest, see-through tote they ever did see!) so when people inevitably ask them about it, they can ~educate~ the masses on the healing powers of watermelon.
17. First Aid Beauty Skin Summit is essentially a roundup of the brand's bestselling products, because their skin only deserves the very best and gentle treatments (Hello, colloidal oatmeal! Hello, hyaluronic acid!) on the market — you're doing them some seriously big-lift favors by introducing them to their winter skincare saviors.
18. Soko Glam Best of K-Beauty Set packs in a collection of mini skincare must-haves from toners, face creams, strengthening hair glues, and acne treatments — all which have been ranked as the best in Korean skincare. The gift of ~glowing skin~ will put you at the top of the gift-giving leaderboards, fersure.
19. Kristin Ess Temporary Rose Gold Tint + Celestial Bobby Pins and Frizz-Reducing Satin Pillow Case + French Pin sets up a hair-obsessed person with everything they need to both amp their hair up for a special occasion *and* ensure it stays looking smooth and sleek while they snooze.
20. Kopari Coconut Multitasking Kit envelops them in skin-loving coconut that tackles taking off makeup (melt), providing crazy, day-long moisture while feeling like nothing (sheer oil), soothing dried-out, irritated skin (balm), and giving off that coveted ~vacation glow~ (body glow).
21. Ole Henriksen Sauna Glow Warming-Cooling Scrub & Mask Set takes the traditional Scandinavian sauna cycle as inspiration: it uses dual warm/cool action to lift and loosen dead skin cells and refine pores with a powerful blend of glycolic and lactic acids (Facial Sauna Scrub) and cooling clay to detoxify, control oil, and reduce the appearance of enlarged pores (Cold Plunge Mask).
22. Kiehl's Ultra Skin Lovers Set arms skincare lovers with a complete routine that replenishes skin back to its ~most optimal~ condition — meaning a hydrated, even complexion thanks to mild ingredients like avocado oil and squalane.
23. Becca Cosmetics x Chrissy Teigen Glow Kitchen Kit cooks up a storm of blinding shimmer and highlight for their face, lips, and cheekbones — aaaaand the best part is that they smell like vanilla and cinnamon sugar. You might wanna attach a note to your gift that says: PLEASE DO NOT EAT.
24. The Body Shop Drops of Youth Skincare Collection treats their skin with the best of the best, aka plant stem cells from the Italian Alps and Brittany Coast — and if that's not enough to make their jaws drop, the results they see, like extra bouncy skin and smoother pores and face lines, will!
25. Karity Stand Out Lip Lock Bundle comes through with gorgeous, long-lasting, and more importantly bold colors that are perfect for letting everyone know that they don't play around with boring makeup *muah*.
26. Glamglow The Hollywood Glow Set tingles away pores, melts away makeup, and delivers 72-hour continuous hydration. Your loved ones won't even know how to thank you! Though you'll probably see a lot of #freshface selfies in your feed — I guess that's enough.
27. Herbivore Balance + Clarify Natural Skincare Mini Collection resurfaces and soothes oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin with clean ingredients like blue tansy, green tea, fruit acids, and willow — so little bumps in the road (or, rather, bumps on your face) don't faze them even a bit.
28. Amorepacific Bamboo Me Beautiful works overtime to reveal the ~radiant glow~ that they yearn for — this curated set of green tea, papaya enzyme, and bamboo sap infused products ensures they have a complete "cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and repeat" routine!
29. Beautycounter Best of Beautycounter Set pampers their skin with four bestselling products that hydrate, purify, brighten, and balance the skin — and they're all the perfect size to toss into their purse, gym bag, or travel toiletry kit! Be sure to tell your friends you can't be responsible for any increased vanity on their behalf.
30. DHC The Refreshing Cleanse has the double cleanse sitch down pat, so not a single particle of makeup and grime is missed — start off with the Deep Cleansing Oil and follow up with lightly exfoliating Face Wash Powder, which they can ~whip up into a creamy mousse~ with the Foaming Mesh if they so wish.
31. Aesop Renewal Kit is perfect for stashing at their desk whenever their poor, weary hands need some TLC, whenever their face needs a boosting spritz, and whenever their breath is feeling a lil' stinky from lunch — little skin and hygiene saviors, may they bless whoever is fortunate enough to receive them!
32. Urban Decay Hall of Fame Kit consists of four first-class products any beauty lover should never be without — hello, flawless holiday looks!
