Best Makeup Gift Sets
The best makeup gift sets come from several editor-favorite brands. Our picks include full and travel-sized versions of products that are probably already on your shopping list, like Laura Mercier's Caviar Stick Eyeshadow and Summer Fridays's Lip Butter Balm.
Whoever unwraps Charlotte Tilbury's 2024 advent calendar this year is, as the name suggests, very lucky. The heart-shaped box is jam-packed with some of the best Charlotte Tilbury products, from the cult-favorite Pillow Talk Lip Liner to the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray and Magic Cream moisturizer.
Every time Summer Fridays releases a new flavor of its tinted lip balms, it goes viral. They're well deserving of the hype, too—they leave your lips buttery soft for hours, and every flavor I've tried (which is most of them) is delectable.
Your next favorite mascara could be hiding in this set. There's a formula for all your lash goals, whether spidery long lashes or a thick, volumized look. The best part is the included voucher, which allows you to redeem your favorite full-size mascara from the set.
Laura Mercier's eyeshadow sticks are a 10/10, so you can't go wrong. They glide across the lid like a dream, are incredibly easy to blend out, are highly pigmented, and stay put all day long. This set comes with a mix of shimmery and matte shades.
Rare Beauty products never miss, but we especially love the brand's liquid blushes. This set comes with a brand new exclusive shade—a pretty dark red—that's perfect for the winter season and mastering the red blush trend. Thank you, Selena.
Yves Saint Laurent's Candy Glaze lip gloss is one of my favorite formulas for a juicy pop of moisture. It delivers the hydration you'd expect from a lip balm and the pretty shiny plump you'd expect from a classic gloss. I love that this set contains two versatile shades and that you're saving $25 for the price of two.
You can never have too many lip products, and I can personally spend hours musing over shades and formulas. This handy little set does the work for me and combines some of the best products in the biz—from YSL's Candy Glaze Lip Gloss to Tarte's Maracuja Juicy Lip Plumper—in a cute makeup bag, which you can never have too many of, either.
I have had my mini Milk blush and highlighter sticks, which have the creamiest long-lasting formula, for months now and they show no signs of running out anytime soon. This gift set comes with full size versions, meaning they are going to last in your makeup bag for eons, plus you get the brand's cult-favorite setting spray and lip gloss.
Each one of these eyeliners retails for $23 so this set of three versatile shades (black, brown, and metallic white) is saving you big bucks. With a highly pigmented, waterproof formula that glides like a dream across the eyes, it's easy to see why these cult-favorite pencils are our number-one choice for eyeliners in the waterline.
You can pretty much tackle your entire face with this three-piece set if your in a pinch. Each shade has a creamy, blendable, multi-use formula. For example, the rose shade works as a blush stick, lip color, or even cream eyeshadow. You could use the highlighting stick as, of course, highlighter, or swipe it across your lids for a quick, pretty dose of color.
Allow me to do the math for you on this gift set: One of these setting sprays will typically cost you $36, so you're saving $23 with this set. It's well worth the price too, as it actually keeps your makeup looking fresh all day long.
All of the beauty influencers I follow on TikTok are raving about this Refy lip combo, and I hate to admit it, but now I've been influenced to actually buy it. The lip liner has a unique thick domed tip meant to have more of a blurring effect, whereas the lip gloss adds a glass-like shine, all in a pretty plum shade.
Best Fragrance and Bodycare Sets
Sephora has a ton of fragrances and bodycare gift sets for every kind of scent preference. Our favorite sets include cult-favorite buys like Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 Spray and L'Occitane Cleansing and Softening Shower Oil.
Anyone on your list will appreciate this set. It comes with six deluxe samples of fan-favorite scents, including Carolina Herrera's Good Girl Blush, Juliette Has a Gun's Not a Perfume, and Phlur's Not Your Baby scent. The best part? You get to redeem the included voucher for a full-size bottle (!!!) of your choosing.
Sol de Janeiro's Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’62 is one of my favorite gourmand perfumes. The cult-favorite body cream in the same scent is just as good, absorbs so quickly, and leaves my skin feeling baby-soft. You can bet this set is already in my cart.
Glossier's just-dropped fragrance launches are already a viral sensation but if you can't choose between the two scents (or the OG), you won't have to with this set. It has three travel-size sprays so you try them all and see what all of the hype is about for yourself.
If I'm wishing for anything for the holidays, it's a fragrance advent calendar. You get a little surprise scent in the form of a mini luxury candle behind every door in this set.
I have been dying to try Maison Margiela's Replica fragrances. With this set, I can get my fair share of the brand's best-selling scents. It includes favorite fragrances like Beach Walk, By The Fireplace (an editor-favorite fall perfume), and Lazy Sunday Morning in cute displayable coffret bottles.
Floral perfumes get a bad rep for smelling grandmotherly, but Gucci's are well-known for their unique, lush takes on the fragrance family. Each one has a special note to make it stand out including vanilla, patchouli, and dewberry.
With how fun it is to open one gift, imagine the joy of opening 24. That's the thought behind this advent calendar, which comes with 24 (!!!) little treasures from L'occitane. Whoever is the lucky recipient of this gift will be set for the season with luxurious hand creams, shower gels, and body lotions in so many soothing scents.
It girls like Sophia Richie Grainge and Meghan Markle swear by picks from Jo Malone, and who doesn't want to smell like an It girl? Give them the gift of a new signature scent with this set of Jo Malone London perfumes, which includes favorites like Wood Sage & Sea Salt (Markle's pick) and English Pear & Freesia (Grainge's wedding perfume).
This sampler set from Sephora includes a voucher for a free full-size (!!) bottle of one of the included perfume samples. There's a clean perfume for every fragrance preference. I can personally vouch for By Rosie Jane's Missy, my go-to coconut perfume in the summer, The 7 Virtue's Cherry Ambition, a gorgeous mature cherry scent, and Henry Rose's Queens & Monsters, a comforting woody fragrance.
Here's your chance to get some of the most delicious vanilla perfumes I've ever smelled in my nearly 27 years of living. Kayali's Yum Pistachio Gelato | 33 is exactly what it sounds like—a delectable take on nutty ice cream that's so good, it's actually mouthwatering. Meanwhile, Vanilla | 28 is the ideal sweet, not cloying fragrance that's mature, long-wearing, warm, and multi-seasonal.
Best Skincare Gift Sets
The best skincare gift sets we're shopping from Sephora are stocked with top-notch products. There's the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite™ FaceWare Pro in a set and Elemis's Pro-Collagen Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm (my favorite ever) in a can't-miss bundle.
Considering this LED light therapy mask is $455 on its own, you can think of the serum, five peels (my favorite at-home chemical peels, by the way), and four brightening sheet masks as freebies. The mask is no joke, either—in two weeks, you'll notice an improvement in acne, and in 10 weeks, you're fine lines, wrinkles, and skin tone are visibly better.
You can never have too much hand sanitizer in your bag, especially as we head into cold and flu season. Touchland’s upgraded formula has delicious scents and a moisturizing feel. One bottle lasts an impressively long time, too, so this set will have you covered for the season.
There's nothing like a face mask for a quick self-care moment. This set has a mask for nearly every skincare concern, whether you're dealing with redness, dryness, dullness, or large pores. With 10 different masks, this set would also make great stocking stuffers for your besties—or you can keep it for yourself.
Now that we're approaching the dry winter months, this set will be your skin's saving grace. Tower28's best-selling SOS Rescue spray is a godsend for stressed, irritated skin, while the LipSoftie lip balm is one of my favorites for treating dry, cracked lips. It also comes with a trial size of the Daily Skin Barrier Redness Recovery Moisturizer for when your skin is in rough shape and needs healing.
Do you know what's better than one skincare product? 7! Paula's Choice knew what they were doing when they created this beauty advent calendar. It has some of the brand's fan favorites, including full sizes of the 2% BHA exfoliant (a miracle worker for large pores) and Resist Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser.
Nicole Kidman, Blake Lively, and Kim Kardashian are all fans of the cult-favorite luxury brand La Mer so if you've ever wanted an A-list level glow, now's your chance for a fraction of the price. The magic of the brand is in its propriety ingredient called Miracle Broth, a fermentation of sea kelp, vitamins, and minerals that soften, brighten, and rejuvenate. Grab this set of cleansers, eye creams, serums, and moisturizers for an upgraded skincare routine.
We all wish we could visit the spa regularly, but this gift set is the next best thing. Elemis' cleansing balm has the same feel and smell as a facial you would get at a luxury spa, and it removes makeup better than any other cleanser I've tried—and I've tried a lot.
Everyone I know is obsessed with Laneige's Lip Sleeping Masks, and for good reason—they leave your lips feeling as hydrated as can be, and the effect lasts all day. You'll have your pick from five yummy flavors ranging from gummy bear to peach iced tea and watermelon pop.
The holidays inevitably involve a lot of traveling, so this is the perfect set to gift the jet-setter in your life. It has everything they need to keep their skin in tip-top shape, including the brand's cult-favorite Jet Lag Mask, plus other hydrating essentials to keep your skin and lips hydrated while in the air.
A face mask is the first thing I do when I'm feeling stressed and need a moment of self-care, so I have my eye on this set. With three full-size jars, there's a mask that tackles nearly skin concern from dryness, dullness, and texture. Considering the sizes, you'll get plenty of uses out of this set.
Ask any beauty expert, and they will praise Sunday Riley, especially the brand's Good Genes Lactic Acid Serum. I'll never forget the first time I used it—I woke up and immediately noticed my skin was smoother and brighter. Now, I'll always make sure to have a bottle in my beauty cabinet. Combine it with the brand's Luna Sleeping Retinoid Night Oil, and you've got a winning combo.
Best Haircare Gift Sets
You can save big on editor-favorite haircare brands by shopping gift sets. They include both full-size and travel sizes of my personal hair heroes like Fable & Mane's HoliRoots Pre-Wash Treatment Oil and Virtue Hydrating Healing Hair Oil, as well as bundles on the best-ever dry shampoo, a.k.a. Living Proof's Perfect Hair Day Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo.
Anytime you can get the Dyson Airwrap on sale, you should not let it pass you by. It's the single hair tool that influencers, editors, and hairstylists collectively agree is well worth the price tag because it can do anything from big bouncy blowouts to super sleek styles with no heat damage. Plus, how gorgeous would this strawberry chrome set look on your vanity?
Living Proof's dry shampoo is, without a doubt, the best one on the market. A few sprays at my roots leave my dirty, post-gym hair clean—as in just washed clean. It also adds a much-needed boost of volume to my flat hair and a lovely scent.
Wash your hair with this clarifying shampoo once a week, and your scalp will thank you. You'll notice less itchiness, dryness, and build-up, leading to a more balanced, less oily scalp. This set also includes Ouai's cult-favorite leave-in conditioner, which provides heat protection.
For those who struggle with dry, damaged hair, this cult-favorite shampoo and conditioner duo will keep it in tip-top shape. It works to rebuild broken bonds, so hair becomes stronger, healthier, smoother, and shinier with every wash.
When I realized it wasn't normal for clumps of my hair to fall out every time I brushed it, I bought this scalp oil to fix the problem. After using the pre-wash oil for about a month, I've noticed far less fallout, breakage, and split ends.
Upgrading to a silk pillowcase has made a world of difference in my hair care. The silk scrunchies are a welcome bonus, too, as they are less damaging than traditional hair ties.
Virtue's hair oil is my absolute favorite for my strands. It not only adds a glass-like shine, but it also repairs and strengthens strands from the inside out. This set includes two sizes that will take care of your strands, too.
Do your damaged, dry hair a favor and gift yourself this set. Its full-size shampoo and conditioner is chock-full of hydrating ingredients like jojoba seed oil and shea butter to nourish hair from the inside out. It also comes with a full-size of the brand's best-selling Soulfood Hair Mask, which I use weekly to condition my hair and give it a mirror-like shine.
If you're anything like me, you're never sure of what hair products will work for your hair type or which ones will actually make it enter your haircare routine. If that's the case, this set will allow you to try a myriad of different products, from dry shampoos, stylers, hair oils, and leave-in conditioners, so you can see what you like and dislike.
If you're an avid TikTok user, I'm sure you've seen the girls with the slick-back buns swear by this hair mask. Now you can see what the hype is all about while it's on sale and while it comes in a set with a coordinating hair oil. Both formulas help you repair hair damage caused by heat, bleach, and chemicals and work to restore strength, softness, and shine all white, adding heat protection.
