If your sister’s makeup collection is your favourite thing to raid, or your best friend is the source of all beauty knowledge then chances are you’re probably gift hunting for a beauty-guru. With so many beautifully packaged and irresistibly scented skin, hair and beauty gifts it’s hard to know what to choose. That’s why I’ve put together this guide, filled with tried and tested beauty products from some of my favourite, stand-out brands.
Latest in Beauty – The Greatest Showman Beauty Box
If you’re looking for a gift that encompasses a variety of makeup, hair and skincare products then The Greatest Showman Beauty Box is perfect. The show-stopping products are carefully curated to celebrate the release of the Greatest Showman that comes out on Boxing day.
The box is incredibly good value with the total contents worth over £145 and plenty of full size products are included. The box contains everything you need to create a dazzling, festive party look, from the Max Factor Primer to the Miller Rose Perfume and everything inbetween. Nails, cheeks, hair and tan have all been considered and as most of the products are full size, this gift will be treasured well into the New Year.

Vita Liberata – Fabulously Flawless Self Tan Gift Box
Vita Liberata is my go-to brand when it comes to adding a sun-kissed glow to my skin, especially during the winter months. I’m always recommending it to friends so it definitely needed a place in my gift guide.
The Fabulously Flawless Self Tan Gift Box has to be the most glamorous self-tanning set I’ve seen, with a golden, croc printed tanning mitt (the kind you don’t hide at the bottom of your washbag) and luxurious products for a flawless tan. It’s housed in an equally as radiant box which you’ll find any excuse to keep and is incredibly good value at just £25!
Inside you have the Body Blur Instant HD Skin Finish, an acclaimed wash-off body makeup that gives a flawless glow. It contains organic extracts and light-reflecting technology that’s perfect for minimising any imperfections either alone or under foundation.
Also included is the Self Tanning Tinted Lotion which is completely odour free and is infused with East African Marula Oil so skin is left silky smooth and the tan develops and fades evenly.
Self-tanning products can be tricky to buy for someone else, especially if you don’t use it yourself and the packaging can often lack lustre during the festive period. That’s why I love this gift set, because it contains two diverse but equally brilliant tanning products and looks incredibly fabulous!

Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Icons Makeup Set
The Beauty Icons Makeup Set contains some of Charlottes most acclaimed, best-selling and award-winning products all housed in the most decadent and glamorous gift box.
The miniature icons make the most perfect companions, whether you’re heading out for French martinis with the girls or jetting off to somewhere sunny, this set ensure you’ve always got a little Charlotte Tilbury Luxe in your bag.
The icons include the industry transforming mini Charlotte’s Magic Cream Moisturiser for a flawless and velvety complexion, mini Wonderglow Face Primer for the dewy, radiant skin and mini Full Fat Lashes Mascara for dramatic, show-stealing eyes.
My personal favourites however are the K.I.S.S.I.N.G Lipstick in Penelope Pink – one of the most versatile shades – and the Lip Cheat Lip Liner in Pillow Talk to frame the perfect pout. The nude-pink shades work day and night and faultlessly go with everything in my wardrobe!
If she’s already a devoted Charlotte Tilbury fan, or has simply been lusting after the collection for months, then this is a truly fantastic gift to spoil her with.

Barry M – Eyeshadow Palettes
Perfect for stocking fillers or secret santas, these Barry M eyeshadow palettes are a wonderfully festive addition to every make-up collection. My three favourites
Crown Jewels is a decadent collection of metallic, highly pigmented jewel tones which create the most sumptuous finish.
Fall in Love features 10 earthy, sunset tones with a matte finish which makes them perfect for adding some warmth to your everyday look.
Meteor Storm is one of my favourite eyeshadow palettes, containing 8 light reflecting duochrome shades. Shimmering and metallic finishes really do give each look an out of this world feel, and colours look beautiful when layered on top of one another.

Charlotte Tilbury – Scent of a Dream
Scent of a Dream is more than just a fragrance, there’s an enchanting story behind it and every element of the bottle and the notes inside serve a sensual and deeply thoughtful purpose designed to transport the wearer to a spiritual utopia.
The scent is captivating and indulgent with confidence boosting notes and irresistible pheromones. The chosen notes are inspired by empowerment and desire, which is what makes this fragrance so special. It’s a gift with a thoughtful and beautiful message behind it, and one that resonate with so many women.
