It can be difficult (and downright stressful) picking out gifts for friends and family each holiday season. But in our experience, you can’t go wrong with beauty or cosmetic gift sets. Here are five of our favorite sets this year.
Shani Darden Age-Defying Retinol Set ($88, shop here)
This set from Shani Darden offers three of the skincare brand’s most popular products: the proprietary Retinol Reform serum, which has somewhat of a cult following, plus the Cleansing Serum and Weightless Oil-Free Moisturizer.
Drunk Elephant The Littles Night Out Skincare Set ($50, shop here)
The Littles Night Out Set offers four products – Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser, B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum, T.L.C. Framboos Glycolic Night Serum, and Protini Polypeptide Cream – that help to combat fine lines, wrinkles, dryness, dullness, and uneven texture.
Sephora Favorites Sparkly Clean Makeup Set ($36, shop here)
Sephora offers a killer deal for three full-size products (Tower 28 Beauty JuiceBalm Tinted Lip Balm, Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush, and Milk Makeup Color Chalk Multi-Use Powder Pigment) along with three mini items (ILIA Fullest Volumizing Mascara, Tatcha The Liquid Silk Canvas Featherweight Protective Primer, and Saie Glowy Super Gel Lightweight Dewy Highlighter). All products are considered “clean.”
Olaplex Healthy Hair Essentials ($60, shop here)
Olaplex is known for being one of the best new clean haircare lines. This limited-edition set includes four of the brand’s best-selling products, including No. 3 Hair Perfector, No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo, No. 5 Bond Maintenance Conditioner, and No. 7 Bonding Oil.
Pureology Mini Hydrating + Color Protecting Hair Kit ($24, shop here)
Pureology is a godsend when it comes to damaged hair. Whether your hair is curly or bleach blonde, Pureology can keep it shiny and healthy. This four-piece set of travel-sized hydrating and color-protecting items is a steal at $24, making it a perfect stocking stuffer.
