Struggling for ideas on what to buy this year? Well, we have been busy hand-picking gifts that will be just ideal for your loved ones – and maybe you could treat yourself to something nice at the same time too. Gift sets at this time of year are a fantastic way to try out new products and new brands that you may have been eyeing up for a while as brands tend to launch limited-edition value collections.

Either way, you’ll be certain to find something for everyone on your list this year here and maybe find your favourites to go on your list too.

Best For The Brow Expert

 Jane Iredale Dazzle & Shine Brow Kit

Perfect for the brow expert in your life, they will be able to carve out the brows of their dreams with this 3 piece kit that is sure to last them an eternity. Use the brow pencil to softly mimic hairs where there may be sparse, over-plucked areas and then take the palette to set and define the whole brow. Finish the look with the complimentary eyeliner to create a sultry eye.

 

 

Best For The Eye Makeup Obsessed

delilah Colour Intense Jezebel Eyeshadow Palette

This gorgeous rose gold compact, wrapped in a luxurious velvet pouch, contains nine highly pigmented shades ranging from subtle, dusty pinks to ultra glamorous glitters to help towards creating a flawless eye. Use them as singles for low-key day time looks or mix them together to create the perfect smoky eye. Slightly dampening your application brush will give maximum intensity to the glitter shades!

 

 

Best For The Lipstick Lover

iS CLINICAL Lip Duo

Every lipstick fanatic will be sure to know that no lipstick application is perfect without a little bit of prep work beforehand. Treat your loved one to iS CLINICAL Lip Duo which contains a Lip Polish to gently scrub away any dry areas to reveal a smooth surface and then a Lip Elixir to intensely hydrate and plump resulting in a more even base and a longer wearing lipstick every time.

 

Best For The Glow Connoisseur

delilah Pure Light Liquid Radiance - Lunar

As always, delilah products are beautifully wrapped in their signature rose gold packaging making them the most perfectly aesthetically pleasing product to gift. Liquid Radiance feels utterly weightless on the skin but manages to blurs out dullness and imperfections to make way for a gorgeous lit-from-within-glow. Wear alone or mix with your face or body moisturiser for a head to toe glow. 

 

Best For The Luxury Beauty Addict

You can’t talk about luxury cosmetics and not discuss Dr. Barbara Sturm too, as any luxury beauty addict will know; she is the epitome of luxury. Glow Drops is a hybrid of both skincare and makeup and best for days of minimal or no makeup days to achieve the much talked about Sturm Glow.
