10 last-minute beauty gift ideas

The holidays are the perfect time to stock up on holiday gift sets. Yes, even at the last minute. 


From fabulous savings on product bundles, to the opportunity to try new products, there are countless reasons why gifting these limited-edition sets  — and picking up a few for yourself — is a good idea. 


Virtually every beauty brand on the market has its own version of a holiday gift set. So, if you're wondering where to start, here are 10 of my favourite gift sets to check out this season (many of which are now on sale!). 

Laneige Water Wonderland

Laneige Water Wonderland 

This skin-loving set features four bestselling products from Laneige. Featuring small Cream Skin Mist, Water Bank Moisture Cream, full-sized Water Sleeping Mask and Lip Sleeping Mask. The lineup of products offer a perfect introduction to the hydrating options for those who are new to Laneige.  Plus, the addition of a full-sized Water Sleeping Mask (a cult favourite) is sure to delight diehard users. 

The Body Shop Hemp holiday

The Body Shop Ultimate Hemp Power Big Gift Sack 

The Body Shop's holiday gift sets really need no introduction. Offering a huge savings on full and mini products, the sets often sell out. We love the incorporation of sustainable packaging to the seasonal selections including this reusable sack.

Kérastase Reflection Chromatique Gift Set 

My sister and I pick up a Kérastase gift set every year during the holidays. The sets, which are targeted to specific product lines and hair concerns, feature full-sized products at a savings. And, if you're a Kérastase fan, you know finding a sale on these luxe haircare products can be very rare.
