Beauty products can be hard to buy if you don’t already know exactly what you want. Gift sets typically mix together top sellers and new items to sample. They also tend to be pretty easy on the wallet, and are often tastefully packaged for the season. The sets assembled in this list will score you big points with a glamor guru.
Selena’s Faves 4 Piece Mini Set | $30
This one is a personal fave. Who knew Selena Gomez could do makeup well too?! The mini Lip Soufflé Matte Lip Cream is this set is actually one of the best colors (bright red) I have in my collection and glides on smoothly. I got a discovery kit when this line first dropped last year, and I still keep the Perfect Strokes Mascara in one of my makeup bags. Big voluminous lashes in mere seconds. This set also has a Soft Pinch Liquid Blush (dewy peach), a great way to add a little color, and no pro artist experience needed. The Positive Light Liquid Luminizer (rose bronze) adds a sweet sparkle to top off even the most minimal of looks. This is a must for any busy beauty babe.

Protecting the hair and body in one set is the dream. We all hope for perfect hair and skin, and while that might not be 100% obtainable, at least we can try. Drunk Elephant is a great brand that tends to be more expensive, so to nab a comprehensive kit like this for under $50 is a steal. Keep your tresses shiny and skin supple. Radiate into the new year since 2021’s been so dull. The miniatures in this collection are Cocomino glossing shampoo, Cocomino Marula cream conditioner, TLC Happi scalp scrub, Wild Marula tangle spray, Kamili cream body cleaner, Sili body lotion, and Sweet Pitti deodorant cream. Not only will they help you shimmer, they’re also adorably designed.
Dermalogica Sensitive Skin Rescue Kit | $38
If one company knows about beautiful complexions, it’s Dermalogica. This set is for those folks whose fussy skin needs something a little gentler. Give your face the calming, soothing love it deserves and protect it against further irritation. This trio will help quell triggers and restore some balance with protective products, including the UltraCalming cleanser, UltraCalming mist, and Calm water gel moisturizer.
Murad You Do You Set | $62
Cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating are the tenants of good skincare—in that order. Just doing those three things will make a world of difference. Keep your skin in tip-top shape for the rest of the winter with this exclusive set from Murad. As the name suggests, this duo will leave your face smooth and dewy. Remember that everything from Dr. Murad is science-backed goodness for beautiful skin.
Murdock London Cologne Collection | $54
Now here’s a little something for the gents. I’m a big fan of mini scent bundles like this, especially if the brand normally leans on the pricey side. The Murdock London cologne collection brings four mini fragrances, perfect for life on the go. You’ll find Avalon (cool and breezy), Black Tea (spicy and woody), Patchouli (calming and retro), and Vetiver (adventurous and outdoorsy), making this another great way to uncover a new smell you might end up digging.
Dry Skin Routine Set | $55
La Roche-Posay is the literal best. I try to include it in roundups as much as possible because, in short, it’s the real deal. Now that we a plunged into the early sunsets and cold days, extra skin protection is needed. This three-step system is just what you want. The Toleriane Hydrating Cleanser will help remove makeup, dirt, and impurities but won’t strip any natural hydration already in your pores. It only takes a few drops of Hyaluronic Acid in the morning and at night to keep a dry flakey face or neck at bay. Plus, it works perfectly with a tinted moisturizer or foundation. Add the Double Repair Facial Moisturizer with SPF 30 to protect you from the winter sun that can still cause damage. These French skincare experts developed this set for all skin types to provide all-day hydration.
7-Day Detox Fragrance Discovery Set by Rosie Jane | $25
A perfume box for the ladies, Rosie Jane’s 7-day detox fragrance set is designed to help you find new smells for everyday life and even layer and mix them. When you read the names of the scents, you’ll understand how most of these easily mesh together. Your aromas are as follows Leila Lou (pear, jasmine, and fresh-cut grass), Madie (sea spray, jasmine, and vanilla), James (fig, gardenia, and amber), Angie (honeysuckle, jasmine, and fig), Lake (vanilla, sandalwood, and neroli), Dylan (cedar, frankincense ad white musk), and Rosie (nude musk and rose). Treat your olfactory senses to a deluge of delight.
SkinStore Holiday Edit 2021 | $150
This set is fantastic. It just turned up on my doorstep, and I was blown away by just how much was included. SkinStore’s Holiday Edit Box is for your favorite skincare lover. They selected some of my favorite brands and the best products to include this year. Wander Beauty’s Baggage Claim Gold Eye Masks are a necessity for long hauls of winter travel. Elemis’ Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm is one of the greatest makeup removers I have on my shelf. There are altogether 12 items from full sizes to travel sizes to take on the road with you. This package will save you before, and after any holiday event you have to attend. I was blown away by how much it was able to get in here. Light up Nest Fragrances’ Bamboo Mini Votive candle and try to wrap your head around only paying $150 for a box that should be well over $500.
Sunday Riley Morning Buzz Brightening Duo | $98
Sunday Riley is one of those brands that when there is a deal you get your hands on it. Morning Buzz Brightening Duo can make a huge difference during this busy holiday season. Having a product on deck that can give you a brightening boost and down plan a few late nights is a must. This set includes some best-sellers: a Vitamin C serum and an eye cream. The serum tackles discolorations to balance out a fussy complexion. The eye cream controls puffiness and dark circles. Plus, adding a Vitamin C serum to your routine can jump-start your fight against the early signs of aging. Tighten, lift, and illuminate in just two steps.
Invisimatte Complete Essentials | $54
All true divas know you have to be camera-ready at all times, and this essential bundle from Fenty will keep you prepared. Treat yourself to an Invisimatte blotting powder, blotting paper, and portable touch-up brush, gracing your face with the illusion of the perfect filter, no camera required. In all seriousness, blotting paper is life-changing, and you should have it with you always.
5-Piece Essentials Kit | $52
I stan Tula. I’m a big fan of their Rose Glow Cooling Eye Balm. This kit is an excellent way to find your product to obsess over. All the essentials are here for a basic skincare set: Purifying Face Cleanser, Resurfacing Toner, Hydrating Day & Night Cream, and an Illuminating Serum. I like the Hello Radiance Serum as a quick solution for tired skin. It all comes in a cute travel bag ready for you to fall in love with.
N°5 Twist & Spray Set | $175
Nothing is more high fashion or classic than Chanel if you’ve got your heart set on a luxury item. I’m specifically speaking about N°5. The signature scent is undeniably sophisticated, as you might expect. I have a bottle on my nightstand, and it is coveted. This set has the iconic bottle and a refillable “twist and spray” to conveniently freshen up wherever you travel. N°5 was the world’s first abstract fragrance, so it can come off a bit more complex, and it isn’t for everyone. But for me, its beauty is in its complexity. Hints of rose, jasmine, citrus, and bourbon vanilla work in harmony for a sensual aroma. This is a pricey set, but you will win over whomever you gift it to.
Holiday Lip & Nail Sets | $26
I will always keep Bésame on these lists. I have almost every lipstick, and they are absolutely the best long-lasting ones I’ve ever had. You don’t need to be into vintage fashion to appreciate the shades, but you can admire the historical research and craft that goes into each product. For the holidays, these seven sets are marked down to just $26. The matching lip and nail sets cover an array of decades and shades. Each has brilliant color to make you feel like a glamorous starlet from another era. My favorite is 1952’s Wild Orchid, a vibrant violet with a little shimmer. These hues are all sure to turn heads.
