Glow from within and treat yourself to the best beauty gifts for a self-care boost.
Finding the perfect holiday gift can be a challenge, especially when your beauty-loving friend already has a collection of products that could rival Sephora or Ulta. To make your gift-giving easier, I’ve searched top retailers like Amazon, Sephora, Ulta, Dermstore, and Nordstrom to bring you the most coveted beauty gifts that are sure to impress.
Many of the best beauty gifts are luxurious yet affordable, with options under lowest price that make great choices for those on a budget. For those looking to splurge, I’ve included high-end picks like the Beachwaver S1 Dual Voltage Black Rotating Curling Iron, which I’ve personally tested and can highly recommend.
Don’t forget to grab some holiday stocking stuffers, such as the LANEIGE Midnight Minis Lip Sleeping Mask Set and Peripera Ink the Velvet Lip Tint, before they sell out during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. And with prices that won’t break the bank, it’s totally okay to treat yourself to a set like the Kosas Wet Set Juicy Jellies Sheer Lip Oils gift set.

3. Fancii LED Lighted Makeup Mirror
This lighted makeup vanity mirror is an incredible value for the price. It’s equipped with three color temperatures and dimmable levels so users can see how their makeup looks in various light settings.
The trifold design with 5X and 7X magnifications provides the best view of their face while primping and ensures they don’t miss any unwanted hair when using a facial razor or grooming their eyebrows.
4. Peripera Ink the Velvet Lip Tint
Amazon’s bestselling lip stain is available in nearly 30 shades, but the shade heart fuchsia pink is especially perfect for winter. I can also attest that these long-lasting matte-finish lip stains feel moisturizing and comfortable on the lips for all-day wear.
5. Colgate hum Smart Electric Toothbrush Kit
Nobody likes when the dental hygienist scrapes their teeth, so gift your loved one an electric toothbrush that guides them to a better brush.

Not only will they help reduce plaque, but with regular use, they earn redeemable points to score free Colgate products.

The hydrating stick is perfect for moisturizing everything from your under-eye area to your lips with just a few swipes. Packed with trending ingredients like salmon complex and collagen, it helps tighten, brighten, and hydrate skin while reducing the appearance of fine lines. Plus, its compact size makes it an ideal stocking stuffer.
7. The Original MakeUp Eraser THE PUFF 5-Piece Exfoliator Set

12. Parfums de Marly Delina Hair Mist
If Blair Waldorf of Gossip Girl had a signature scent, I'd safely bet she'd wear Delina, an enticing blend of Turkish rose, lily of the valley, peony, lychee, rhubarb, bergamot, nutmeg, and vanilla. But, if you don't have money to splurge on the full-size fragrance , opt for the dramatically more affordable hair mist instead.
This lightweight gift can be spritzed directly onto their strands or hairbrush for even distribution, ensuring the scent lingers throughout the day.
13. Beachwaver S1 Dual Voltage Black Rotating Curling Iron
I can attest the Beachwaver is by far the easiest and fastest way to create beautiful, bouncy curls and effortless waves. This genius rotating curling iron is equipped with left and right arrow buttons to automatically curl their hair. The ergonomic handle provides maximum comfort and is equipped with an adjustable temperature dial to accommodate all hair textures and multiple speed settings for fast curling.

Diptyque is one of my favorite candle brands, and they created a fantastic gift set for the candle aficionado in your life. The beauty gift set includes five of their bestselling candles, including Baies, which is a tangy blend of berries and rose; Roses, for those who love the classic floral fragrance; Figueries, a fruity fragrance; 34 Boulevard Saint-Germain, a fresh green scent with notes of black currant and florals; and Narguilé, which is a lovely warm, fruity, and honey scent.
15. L'Occitane Hand Cream Trio
Well-manicured hands are always desirable, but constant handwashing combined with dry winter weather is rough on their delicate skin. Lucky for them, this trio of L'Occitane hand creams is the ideal skin-softening solution.
Not only do they smell incredible, but they're made with a hydrating blend of ingredients, like shea butter, almond oil, and grapeseed oil.
