Best Beauty, Makeup and Skincare Gift Ideas
Drunk Elephant Makeup Melting Butter
My go-to makeup remover. It’s the perfect gift for any teen or college girl! It melts off makeup, dirt, sunscreen, mascara.. literally everything. I like that it doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily or greasy afterwards either!
Just apply all over your face and eyes, then rinse off with warm water.
Dr. Zenovia 3 Step Acne Solutions System
Dr. Zenovia’s best selling skincare kit! I use this set, both my sisters use it.. my fiancé even uses the Acne Cleanser and spot treatment! If you struggle with hormonal acne, these skincare products are amazing.
Normally, $69.50, the system is now on sale for $35! AND Dr. Zenovia gave me a 20% off discount code through the end of the year that can be stacked on top of everything! With code CASSIE20, the 3 Step Acne Solutions System comes to $28.
The set includes a full size 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Cleanser, full size 5% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Spot Treatment, and the travel size Aloe Vera Blemish Soothing Moisturizer.
Dr. Zenovia Scar Gel Treatment
This scar gel is incredible! If you have scars from acne, stitches, surgery, stretch marks, etc. this medical-grade scar treatment works to reduce the appearance of any scars while smoothing and softening your skin.
I have a few larger scars from when Elsa was a puppy and would scratch us. By using this daily for 2-3 weeks, the scars have visibly lightened to the point where I barely see them anymore!
Sephora Vacay All Day Set
Sephora’s Vacay All Day gift set is my top beauty gift pick this year. It’s $44 ($134 value) and comes with a mix of 10 full size and mini products. Included in this gift set are products from Tarte, Isle of Paradise, Summer Fridays, ILIA, Supergoop, Glow Recipe and more.
DIBS Desert Island Duo
DIBS is Courtney Shields’ beauty brand! I’ve followed her for years!! I love these Desert Island Duos – they’re a blush and bronzer in one! Use them on your cheeks, your eyes, as a bronzer, a lip color.. They’re so versatile and can easily be blended or layered for a customized look.
Coola Scalp and Hair Mist
Coola is one of my favorite suncare brands! They have so many innovative sunscreen and skincare products. Their Sun Silk Drops and Scalp and Hair Mist are two of my faves.
The drops are non-greasy, lightweight and great for applying to your face and neck. If you’re scalp is super sensitive to the sun, like mine is, you’ll love this hair mist! Smells so good and my scalp never burns now!
Zoya Nail Polish Set
Such a good deal for this Zoya Under the Mistletoe Nail Polish set. Four neutral, pink nail polish colors for $15! Normally they’re $10 per polish!! I own multiple Zoya polishes and I love them because they’re long-lasting, clean and 10-free!
Summer Fridays On Cloud Nine Set
The perfect skincare gift for the travel obsessed girlie! The On Cloud Nine set features two Summer Fridays’ best sellers – the Jet Lag Mask and Cloud Dew Oil-Free moisturizer. You’ll also get a cute limited edition hair scrunchie!
Their vanilla lip balm is also really good!
Laneige Sweet Dreams Trip
A limited edition overnight lip mask trio designed to smooth, soften and intensely hydrate your lips while you sleep! Formulated with coconut oil, shea butter, vitamin c and a berry fruit complex, you will wake up with the softest lips in the AM!
Pop-On Reusable Manicure Set
How cool are these pop-on nails!? If you’re buying for any teens or college girls, these manicure sets would make perfect stocking stuffers! Choose from tons of different colors, all for just $20.
Tartelette In Bloom Eyeshadow Palette
The absolute perfect neutral eyeshadow palette! There’s a good mix of light/dark and shimmer/matte shades and the colors blend so nicely. This palette would make the perfect present for any girl in your life – sister, best friend, mom or girlfriend!
Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Set
If you haven’t tried any of Tarte’s Maracuja juicy lip products you are missing out! They make your lips so smooth and hydrated and smell delicious! This holiday set allows you to try out two juicy lip balms, a lipstick and lip plumper for $39 – which is an awesome deal. Normally each individual product retails for $21!
Gel Nail Polish Kit
This is one of the best gel nail polish kits! I actually gifted this exact set to my sister last Christmas and she uses it ALL the time! It comes with 6 salon quality gel polishes, a top and base coat, the LED UV nail lamp, nail art rhinestones, nail separators, a dotting pen, striping tape, and so much more.
You’ll have everything you need for the perfect at-home gel manicure!
Tarte Mascara Set
If you want mascara that does not flake, these are THE best. I use a combination of Tarte’s Maneater and Tubing Mascara for my every day makeup and I love that I never have to worry about black flecks under my eyes.
I use Maneater primarily for lengthening and separating my lashes, and I layer it with the Tartelette tubing mascara for volume and lift. It’s the best combo! This set is currently $40 for 3 full-size mascaras, which is such a steal!
Reusable Makeup Remover Wipes
20 reusable makeup remover pads, a washable drawstring bag and a beautiful bamboo holder for under $20! I switched to reusable cotton pads years ago and I will never go back. They’re so soft and gentle on your skin!
Microfiber Wrist Towels – 4 pack
These microfiber wrist towels are a complete GAME CHANGER. You put them on both your wrists, so that when you wash your face or remove your makeup, the water isn’t dripping down your arms and all over your pajamas. They’re under $15 for a 4 pack and have amazing Amazon reviews!
OUAI Moisturizing Body Cream
Super hydrating, rose-scented, whipped body lotion! OUAI has tons of great gift ideas – they’re Detox Shampoo and Leave In Conditioner set is another favorite.
Vapour Aura Multistick
Over the last couple years, Vapour has become one of my favorite beauty brands. All their makeup is clean and sustainable, which I love and their formulas are very lightweight and buildable. Their products are meant to enhance your natural beauty and skin tone, rather than covering it up.
One of my favorites is the Aura Multistick, which comes in 8 beautiful shades! It can be used on your cheeks as a blush, on your eyes or on your lips.

Grande Cosmetics Ready, Set, Jet set
Enhance your lashes and brows (while plumping your lips) with this best selling 5 piece kit from Grande Cosmetics. I’ve been using their lash serum for a few years now and the results are always insane. If you want longer, fuller, thicker lashes.. you’ll want to try this lash serum!
The Jet Set kit includes a full size GrandeLASH-MD lash enhancing serum, their brow enhancing serum, a hydrating lip plumper, thickening mascara with castor oil and a plumping lip mask. It’s the perfect gift for the beauty lover and will allow her to try out a variety of Grande Cosmetics’ best sellers!
First Aid Beauty FAB Skin Gift Set
I love giving beauty gift sets because they allow the person you’re gifting it to, to try a variety of products. They’re fun, easy AND usually at a great discount, especially around the holidays!
When it comes to skin care gift sets, First Aid Beauty’s sets are unbeatable. They include a lot of full size products and they’re really budget-friendly. This FAB Skin set, contains a full size Ultra Repair Cream too, which is a skincare STAPLE.
Shark FlexStyle Drying + Styling System
I was watching some reviews of the Shark FlexStyle and it’s SO cool! Very similar to the Dyson Airwrap, but less expensive. The FlexStyle works as a no-heat-damage hair dryer and air styler!
With the build-your-own styling system, you can choose up to three different styling heads for your hair type including auto-wrap curlers, a paddle brush, an oval brush, a styling concentrator and more.
Dr. Zenovia Hydration Heroes Set
Dr. Zenovia is one of my favorite skincare brands. I use their Peptide + Ceramide Repairing Moisturizer daily, it’s literally the best! Packed with hyaluronic acid, bakuchiol, aloe vera and ceramides, it’s amazing for sensitive and dry skin and is included in the Hydration Heroes set!
The skincare set includes one full size Peptide + Ceramide Repairing Moisturizer, the Bakuchiol Hydrating Cleanser and a mini version of their Hyaluronic Acid + Peptide Serum. The ultimate combo for hydrated, plump and glowing skin this holiday season!
LED Light Therapy Mask
The CurrentBody Skin Light Therapy Mask is one of this year’s top skincare gift ideas! Using two wavelengths (red and near infrared light) that are safe for all skin types, this light therapy mask reduces wrinkles and fine lines, improves skin tone and texture, calms redness and heals breakouts.
Yes, it is at a higher price point, but the results are seriously insane! You can read more about the benefits of light therapy here.
Vanity Planet Skincare Fridge
Keep your skincare collection chilled with this skincare fridge from Vanity Planet. This will help preserve the freshness of your products and extend the shelf life, especially for products with preservative-free, natural ingredients.
Applying cold skincare will also help minimize puffiness and reduce redness, inflammation and irritation of the skin!
