There’s something special about a beauty gift set. Here’s some of the best sets this Christmas.
Bobbi Brown’s gift sets are always
a treat and this year’s are no
exception. Top of my list is the Must
Have Essentials set. You get a makeup
bag, full-size Pot Rouge Blusher
and five minis, including a Luxe Lip
Color in Neutral Rose and a Smokey
Eye Mascara. Together, they’re worth
£82, so the set is an absolute steal at
£36.50; see www.bobbibrown.co.uk.
Buying for a teenager? Organic
Young’s My Skin Goals set is likely
to be well-received. It features the
Clear Skin Foaming Face Wash,
Purifying Serum and Cleansing
Moisturiser. Each product has been
specifically designed with teen
skin concerns in mind. Together,
they help to tackle acne, soothe
inflammation and keep skin healthy.
Plus, each purchase supports the
Born Free Foundation. The set is £30
from www.greenpeople.co.uk.
Know someone who could do with
a better night’s sleep? Treat them to
Neal’s Yard Remedies’ Beauty Sleep
Collection. It features the Beauty
Sleep Foaming Bath Gel, Shower Oil,
Body Lotion and Concentrate Serum,
all of which smell heavenly and are
designed to aid relaxation. It’s £40
from www.nealsyardremedies.com.
It can be tricky to find the perfect
gift set, so a few brands now allow
you to create your own. British
brand Noble Isle is one of them.
Select three or four products from
its extensive range, and they’ll be
popped into a gift box and posted
out. And what a range to choose
from… Personally, I love the spicy
Fireside Bath & Shower Gel and
the subtly floral Willow Song Body
Lotion. The bespoke Trio set is £20
from www.nobleisle.com.
Liz Earle (www.lizearle.co.uk ) has
outdone itself with its gift range
this year. The packaging is lush and
many of the sets come with festive
tins or reusable bags. It’s hard to pick
a favourite to be honest. If you’re
looking for a stocking filler, The
Joy Cleanse and Polish set (£12) is
ideal. Buying for a man? You can’t go
wrong with the Shower and Shave
Collection (£30). And I’m personally
lusting after the Together We Shine
Haircare Set (£33).
I think we all deserve a bit of
relaxation this Christmas. Open the
Puressentiel Time to Unwind travel
bag and you’ll find a Rest & Relax
Air Spray, a Rest & Relax Massage
Oil and a Stress Roll-on. Together,
they use the power of essential
oils to promote a feeling of calm,
ease stress and tension, and aid
relaxation. Bliss, at £20 from www.
uk.puressentiel.com.
If you’re looking for a gift with the
wow factor, try Rituals’ The Ritual of
Ayurveda Rebalancing Collection.
All four products (Foaming Shower
Gel, Body Scrub, Body Cream
and Mini Fragrance Sticks) smell
amazing. They’re perfect for
creating an at-home spa experience
on Boxing Day and beyond. And as
they come with a gift box and tag,
you don’t even need to wrap them.
It’s £39.90 from www.boots.co.uk.
