As a blogger and general beauty enthusiast, I try a lot of hair care, skin care, and makeup products. Navigating which beauty gifts to give can be difficult and challenging, especially since people have very specific skin types, sensitivities, and scent or color preferences. But don’t that discourage you – you can still find a ton of universally great beauty gifts to gift this season.
Often times, beauty best sellers are just that because products work on a vast majority of people. And typically, limited edition holiday sets feature these items, for easier, stress-free gifting.
Here are my favorite beauty gifts to give this year.
15 Best Beauty Gifts of 2023
1. JO MALONE WOOD SAGE & SEA SALT COLOGNE
This perfume is one of my go-to year-round scents. Sage, amber, and a touch of sea salt.
2. WESTMAN ATELIER CLEAN GLOW TRIO STICKS
A mini trio of travel-friendly contour, highlight, and blush sticks rom amed makeup artist Gucci Westman. I love the limited-edition red packaging.
3. DRYBAR STYLING SUPERSTARS SET
Protect and refresh hair with two of Drybar’s best-selling products. Their dry shampoo is an all-time fave.
4. MANICURE TOOL SET
Keep nails in check between salon appointments with this handy manicure tool kit.
5. LAURA MERCIER MINI CAVIAR STICK SET
As a girl on the go I love quick makeup, and these eyeshadow sticks take seconds to apply and blend. Gifting tip: give all three of these as a single gift, or split them up and give as individual beauty gifts.
6. BLACK MAKEUP TOWELS
There’s nothing more annoying than thinking you’ve washed your face perfectly only to have a smidge of leftover mascara stain your white towels. Use these black makeup towels for face-washing instead.
7. ELEMIS PRO-COLLAGEN CLEANSING BALM
This hydrating balm emulsifies into a milky formula and melts into pores for next-level cleansing. It won’t leave your skin stripped or dry, either!
8. SIGMA BEAUTY MAKEUP BRUSH SET
I have a set of Sigma makeup brushes and I love them; they’ve lasted me several years with proper cleaning.
9. ORIBE #ORIBEOBSESSED HAIR SET
Travel sizes of the brand’s best sellers: Gold Lust Shampoo andConditioner, plus the cult favorite Dry Texturizing Spray. (It adds he perfect grip and texture.)
10. TANGLE TEEZER DETANGLING HAIR BRUSH
Helps detangle without tugging or pulling. This brush is the unsung hero of my wash day hair routine. Makes a great stocking stuffer!
11. MAKEUP FOREVER HD SKIN PALETTE
A creamy collection of shades to conceal, contour, highlight, and color like the pros, all in one palette. Easy to use with fingers, and hard to mess up!
12. SUMMER FRIDAYS LIP BUTTER
Hydrate dry lips with Shea and Murumuru butters. These lip butters from Summer Fridays always sell out and have a cult following. A must-give gift for the beauty lover who knows all the latest it brands.
13. GHD PLATINUM+ STYLER
This flat iron heats up in less than 30 seconds and features smart technology to automatically adjust the heat as you style to prevent breakage. I’ve owned this for years and it works like new, every single time.
14. SUNDAY RILEY WAKE UP WITH ME MORNING ROUTINE KIT
One of my favorite skin care brands, this skin care set is an easy way to try lots of Sunday Riley’s best sellers, including my favorites: Good Genes and CEO Vitamin Serum.
15. CHRISTOPHE ROBIN CLEANSING PURIFYING SCRUB
I love how clean my scalp feels when I use this scrub; it’s like I just came from the salon. I like to use once a week or whenever my head needs a detox. This is an unexpected beauty gift because it’s probably something someone wouldn’t thing to buy for themselves.
