Last-minute Christmas Gift Guide: Beauty Lovers

And just like that, it’s Christmas Gift Guide season again! I thought I’d kick things off with a beauty last-minute Christmas gift guide. I’ll be running through some amazing luxury and luxury-on-a-budget gifts, from makeup palettes to gift sets to skincare… there’s something for everyone. So, if, like me, you’re still scrambling around trying to find gifts for your family and friends, hopefully this will help!

Fenty Beauty Galaxy Eyeshadow Palette, £19.50

As soon as I saw this hit the Boots website I was sure it would sell out. Under £20 for a Fenty eyeshadow palette, packed with 14 super sparkly, super pigmented shades? It seemed a little too good to be true. However, the palette is just as stunning as I thought it would be and therefore a total bargain at this price. The best thing? It’s still in stock. Get your hands on it quickly if you’re looking for a luxe beauty gift without the hefty price tag.

REN Face Mask Trio Set*, £22

The perfect present for skincare buffs, REN’s Face Mask Trio Set features three fantastic face masks that are ideal for multi-masking. It includes their Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask (a personal favourite of mine for exfoliating and brightening), the Evercalm™ Ultra Comforting Rescue Mask to hydrate and ease sensitivity and the Clarimatte™ Invisible Pores Detox Mask, ideal for minimising pores.

Sunday Riley UFO Oil, £34

Diehard skincare fans are sure to squeal with joy when opening anything from Sunday Riley. The Holy Grail of skincare brands, Sunday Riley is a pricey brand but for good reason. Their products simply work, while looking great on your skincare shelf in super sleek packaging. A little goes a long way with these so they’re an investment for your skin. If you know someone who suffers with acne-prone/blemished skin, the UFO oil is ideal for them, but they have a wealth of other oils for a variety of skincare concerns.

Dermalogica Phyto Replenish Body Oil*, £47.50

This super luxe body oil smells absolutely delicious and leaves your skin feeling super soft and hydrated (and smelling incredible!). It’s the ideal gift for Dermalogica fans and anyone looking for a luxurious moisturiser in an oil form. A total treat to use, and it’s perfect if you’re not so keen on traditional moisturisers. It’s also vegan and cruelty-free.

Sanctuary Spa Luxe Travel Treasures*, £16

Obviously I had to include a Sanctuary set in here. Sanctuary is always my absolute go-to for perfect luxe-feeling beauty products that don’t break the bank. This little set is perfect for the friend who is always jetting off somewhere as it’s packed full of little travel-sized products, including body wash, body butter, wet skin moisture miracle (a fave of mine), body scrub and even some super luxurious bath elixir.

Urban Decay Naked Honey Palette, £42

Saving the best ’til last here, but I feel like the palette that should be at the top of everyone’s Christmas list has got to be Naked Honey. As soon as I saw this was being released I put myself right at the top of the waiting list to be alerted, and when it arrived I wasn’t disappointed. This palette is packed full of deliciously warm golden hues, ideal for every skin tone, all of which are super pigmented and buttery soft. I’ve been getting so much wear of it and I’ll have a full review of it coming soon too, so watch this space.

So there you have it, my last-minute Christmas gift guide for beauty lovers. Are any of these on your ‘to buy’ list? How is your Christmas shopping going?
