Today’s Festive Gift Guide is for the beauty lovers in your life. I’m sure we all know someone who is a skincare addict, loves a new eyeshadow palette or a new haircare must have. I do have to say I am guilty of all of these things. I’d personally love to receive all of these items at Christmas so hopefully this guide will help you with the beauty lovers in your life.
Starting off strong with some incredible Skincare from Ark Skincare. This brand has something for everyone whether that’s someone focusing on blemishes, dark circles or fine lines and ageing skin. Their website is super user friendly so you can find gifts depending on age ranges and skin concerns. There is also amazing gift sets which they have for Christmas where you can save a few pennies for shopping in bundles.
Ark Skincare kindly send across some of their bestsellers. All of these products are formulated for all ages and come in the loveliest of packaging. The Body Beautiful Conditioning Body Serum looks amazing for those who love a pamper session and has also won a few beauty awards! I’m most excited about the Skin Perfector Hydration Injection Masque and the Skin Essentials Advanced Action Plumping Lip Cream.
For those who are a big fan of haircare, the Osmo have some great Christmas gift sets. The Deep Moisture set includes a Shampoo, Conditioner and Deep Repair Mask promising Moisturizing, Repairing, Nourishing benefits. I always appreciate gifts like this as there’s nothing better than having the softest and silkiest hair.
Another great product for those who love their haircare and hair tools. Revlon have got a 5-in-1 hair multi styler which does everything you could want! The tool allows you to dry, curl, smooth, shape & volumize without extreme heat, creating shiny, healthy-looking styles with less damage. It’s an amazing tool where you can use it to do an excellent blow dry, it’s also pretty affordable. You can find the Revlon 5-in-1 hair multi styler from a range of retailers such as Boots, Curry’s, Argos & Asda
Fragrances always make an excellent gift at Christmas. I thought I would share some of my favourite top picks for beauty lovers. Starting off with Love for Her by Tiffany & Co. Not only do you get the luxury little blue box experience, this fragrance is utterly divine. This fragrance is a floral one with notes of Neroli, Blue Sequoia and Cedarwood.
I also wanted to include Versace Bright Crystal which I’ve been using a lot recently and makes an excellent everyday scent. With notes of pomegranate, peony, and musk – it’s a lovely feminine fragrance. Finally, I also would love to know how many times on my blog that I’ve mentioned the Narciso Rodriguez For Her Eau de Parfum. It’s up there with my favourite all time scents and makes a lovely gift at Christmas.
If you are looking for more of a budget scent, the So…? Escapes Body Mist make an excellent gift set. There is four body mists in the set; Ibiza Dreams, Bali Breeze, Mykonos Nights and Venice Kiss. I actually use this body mists and they are the type of scents which just smell like holidays, which is my kinda scent. I picked up this set in B&M for under £5! It’s also available from places like Sainsbury’s, Superdrug and Amazon.
I am obsessed with all the gorgeous emerald green products which Tweezerman have released this festive season. Not only is it ultra festive but it certainly reminds me Wicked too! Tweezerman have some amazing high quality beauty tools which make excellent stocking fillers for those who love all things beauty. The Lash Set includes the Classic Lash Curler and matching iLashcomb. This set is the perfect combo to achieve beautifully curled and clump-free lashes and is one of my must haves for this year! Also in the Enchanted Garden Collection is the Manicure Gift Set and the Mini Tweezer Set which comes with the most adorable case. The Enchanted Garden Collection is available from Fenwicks, Amazon, Debenhams, Beauty Bay and direct from Tweezerman UK.
Another great stocking filler is the DR.PAWPAW Original & Tropical Balms. You can’t go wrong with the lip products from DR.PAWPAW, they are unbelievable quality! The original & tropical balm gift set includes four flavours to nourish, soothe and moisturise. Along with the original balm, you also get the Coconut, Mango and Watermelon for the ultimate tropical experience. DR. PAWPAW also have a huge range of skincare products which also make great gifts for beauty lovers. Their 4 in 1 face serum is a best seller and is suitable for all skin types, this supercharged serum can be used twice daily and is powered by PAPAYALURONIC™.
One of my favourite skincare brands is Glow Recipe and they have some great gift sets available this Christmas. The Get Glowing with me Gift set by Katie Fang is one that I recently picked up in America. The gift sets are such great value and include some of their best sellers. I’m not sure if this set is available in the UK but some great alternatives are the Fruit Babies Bestseller Kit & the Serum Superstars set.
I also wanted to mention Haus Labs which is a beauty brand by Lady Gaga. Personally, I don’t think you can go wrong with any products from Haus Labs. I’ve picked out my three favoruite products which would certainly make any beauty lover be very happy this Christmas. The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Foundation is one of the best foundations I’ve tried in a long time, I am obsessed! If you can find this foundation in stock, this would be a must buy! The Colour Fuse Powder Blush and Bio-Radiant-Gel Powder Highlighters are both incredible products too!
Most beauty lovers would appreciate the incredible products of Pat Mcgrath. The Mini Nude Venus Lip trio includes a MatteTrance Lipstick, Gloss and Lip Pencil in the shade Nude Venus. It’s such a beautiful nude shade and I’m obsessed with the ultra extra packaging which comes with a pouch full of sequins!
Finally, I have mentioned these in my other Festive Gift Guides, but I thought I would include the L’Occitane Festive Crackers Collection in this post too! I just love the concept of having these crackers out at a girly festive evening as they make a lovely gift for guests. They are an excellent alternative to the traditional crackers and include a duo of beauty must haves per cracker.
I’m sure if you pick up any of the mentioned items in this blogpost for a beauty lover, they would be thrilled!
