From bestselling haircare bundles and discovery skincare sets to holiday-scented home fragrances, the most exciting time of the year for beauty offerings is kicking into gear.

Ahead, we’ve rounded up the best hair, skin, and fragrance gifts (so far) for beauty enthusiasts.

Emma Lewisham

Fans of Emma Lewisham probably have the brand’s new trios sitting in their cart already.  There’s the Holiday Glow Trio for reviving skin the morning after the night before or the Evening Ritual Trio with all the pampering pre-bedtime essentials (including the oh-so indulgent Supernatural Sleeping Mask). In travel-friendly sizes, they’re the ideal carry-on companions, wherever your summer holidays may take you.

Paume

No one needs another mundane manicure set gathering dust in their bathroom cabinet. For an elevated take on hand and nail care that literally anyone will benefit from, Paume has the ultimate Nail Care Duo. The All-in-One Cuticle & Nail Cream and vanity-worthy Hand + Nail Brush will keep cuticles, nails and nail beds hydrated and silky smooth.

The Beauty Chef

For a post-festive season skin and gut boost, The Beauty Chef’s Get Up & Glow Kit is a staple. Between GLOW and COLLAGEN there’s little goodness left out; bio-fermented maqui berries, pomegranate fruit peel extract, vitamin C, zinc, broad-spectrum B vitamins, probiotics, postbiotics, papaya, grapeseed extracts, organic goji, acai and maqui berries. Bonus that it tastes delicious, too.

Go-To

Party season goes hand in hand with less shut-eye and more stress, which can ultimately manifest in our skin. No matter how many slices of pav you’ve had, breakouts are no match for the Go-To Congestion Combatting Minis. The 6-piece set has all the necessities for dissolving dirt and drawing out impurities, complete with a fleecey headband for a little selfcare moment between the mayhem.

Henné Organics

For all its perks, summer isn’t kind to our lips. Henné Organics Lip Serum is your ticket to a smoother, plumper pout. Featuring a 24K gold plated rollerball and brimming with powerhouse antioxidants, like rosehip, camellia and argan, it’s the perfect handbag/glove box/suitcase/bedside sidekick.

Oribe

For the Holiday 2023 Collection, Oribe collaborated with multidisciplinary artist and designer Louis Barthélemy, who was inspired by legendary hairstylist and brand co-founder Oribe Canales’ glamour and spirit. He drew upon the art of ancient Egypt to craft three unique vertical works that take their inspiration from papyrus scrolls. Titled, “Eternal Rituals,” the scenes tell the story of a sublime long-haired diety, whose magnificent hair flows upward like the Nile as it is tended by characters engraved in the colourful columns. Fans of the luxury haircare brand will be pleased to see hairstylist-approved favourites like the Dry Texturizing Spray, Hair Alchemy Shampoo, and Gold Lust Nourishing Hair Oil, bundled into the one-of-a-kind sets.

Glasshouse Fragrances

Conjuring up Christmas in a single sniff, the first instalment of Glasshouse Fragrances’ always-anticipated festive collection has dropped. Alongside the coveted Advent Calendar, the Extraordinary Holiday Collection sees the return of beloved limited-edition soy candles; Night Before Christmas (Dancing Sugar Plums), White Christmas (Cedar Leaf & Fruity Clove), Gingerbread House (Festive Spiced Biscuit), and Under the Mistletoe (Spiced Apple & Red Berries). New to the candle family and already selling out to retailers is Festival of Lights, with irresistible notes of Sugar & Spiced Donuts. Cue *It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas* because not only do the five candles in the collection form a row of homes, but the window decals are transparent, so as you burn the candles you see the windows illuminate.

ghd

ghd’s Christmas collection is a regular fixture on every festive gift guide. This year’s Dreamland Collection offers a fresh take on seasonal glamour, featuring alluring jade tools with pink metal accents and a complimentary dusky pink velvet case. The utopic collection incorporates some of ghd’s most heralded technologies, including the platinum+ styler, gold styler, helios hair dryer and glide hot brush, as well as the deluxe set that combines the helios and platinum+ styler as an essential kit. For those who’ve been sitting on the splurge for a while, inclusions like a complimentary paddle brush or travel sized bodyguard heat protect spray, might help to justify the price tag. The travel hair dryer is also a pretty safe gift, considering it’s among this year’s biggest holiday trend predictions for 2023.

Dermalogica      

As every Dermalogica die-hard will know, Christmas is the time to stock-up. This year’s Dermalogica 2023 Holiday Collection offers incredible value with sets ranging from $35 (valued at $109) to $258 (valued at $407). There are eight curated sets, including a new brightening Kit and Supple Skin Kit, as well as complimentary at-home tools like Cooling Globes and a Skin Roller. Find all the best-sellers—from PreCleanse and Skin Smoothing Cream to Daily Microfoliant and BioLumin-C Serum—wrapped up in limited-edition packaging ready for the ultimate unboxing.

Joico

Here to share a little Christmas Joi (pun intended) with thirsty tresses this summer, are  Joico’s limited-edition haircare sets. The options are as diverse as the individuals on your gift list. Whether you’re looking for that popular Joico Defy Damage gift bag (complete with travel minis) or a deal on your sister’s three favourite K-Pak products, this year has something special in store. Joico’s bestsellers will be available in pretty pastel duos and trios, as well as a premium gift bag, dressed in a candy cane stripe.

CIRCA

More candles! Because, it’s never too early to fill your home with some holiday spirit, CIRCA has also unwrapped their Christmas collection, Celebrate Together. From that pine-perfect smell that never gets old to sugary-sweet scents like Gingerbread Cookies and Raspberry & Rhubarb, the 11 piece collection is sure to prepare your olfactives for the merriest season of them all. Last year, CIRCA’s Christmas Tree Scent Stems™, were insanely popular as they discretely hang in your real or fake Christmas tree, filling your room with the scent of fresh pine.

Dyson

While a Dyson hair tool is guaranteed to blow anyone away, this year’s playful colourways take the wow-factor to another level. Dyson’s special edition Ceramic Pop collection features bold hues of Blush Pink, Ceramic Topaz and Ceramic Patina, applied tothe Dyson Supersonic hair dryer and Dyson Airwrap multi-styler. This striking combination of colours was inspired by the colour scheme of Dyson’s first manufactured machine – the G-Force vacuum cleaner. The vibrant new colourway will join Dyson’s recently unveiled Blue Blush holiday gift packs. Also, in case you missed it last month, Dyson introduced a more affordable version of its cult hair dryer, The Origin.

Goldwell

Look-up any Goldwell product and you’ll find endless positive reviews. Not only is the salon-professional range easy to navigate, it’s tailored to every common hair concern. A heritage brand that’s always ahead of the curve, Goldwell has been crafting hair products since 1948. This year’s Christmas gift packs feature all the top sellers in duos and trios, including the brass-banishing Blondes & Highlights shampoo, strengthening Bond Pro 60 Sec Treatment, and silky Just Smooth Conditioner.

Stay tuned – there’s more to come! Be sure to bookmark this list, as we’ll be updating it regularly with the latest must-have beauty gifts for Christmas 2023.
