Prepare to hear squeals of delight when you pull out one or two of these Christmas coffret sets — they’re sparkly, utterly charming and made to beautify your skin in more ways than one.
Tarte Light of the Party Collector’s Makeup Case
Tarte’s Christmas coffret set ($79) is a sequinned hard case in hues of brown and champagne.
The magic lies inside the eye-catching case — there are more than 30 Tarte beauty products, including 24 new eyeshadows, a double-ended eyeshadow brush and a 4-in-1 mascara.
You’ll also find a takeaway palette with brand-new highlighter, bronzer and blusher shades and six limited-edition eye shadows.
Available at Sephora.
Le Grand PaLais de Too Faced
This festive kit ($80), with its charming pink box, may inspire your next romantic getaway.
In it, you’ll find Too Faced’s top-selling products like the award-winning Better Than Sex Mascara, Melted Peony Long Wear Liquified Lipstick, cult favorite Shadow Insurance Eye Primer, two bronzers, one blusher, one highlighter, and best of all, 18 gorgeous eye shadows in party-ready shades.
Available at Sephora.
The Body Shop Frosted Plum Tin of Delights
Seeking a gift that looks great, smells heavenly and pampers the skin? The Body Shop Frosted Plum Tin of Delights ($69.90) is all of that, and perhaps more.
The set includes shower gel, body butter, shimmer fragrance globe and lip balm from the limited edition Frosted Plum collection — all infused with notes of magnolia, peony and ripe plum.
Available at The Body Shop outlets.
Laura Mercier Glam to Go Cheek, Eye & Lip Travel Case
This Christmas travel set ($80) looks set to be the ultimate gift for the girl on the go.
Housed in a convenient compact with a print resembling golden sand dunes, the double decker palette features classic colour essentials.
You’ll find four eye colours, a blusher in Riche Nectar, pressed bronzing powder in Soleil Bronze and a Deluxe Mini Lip Glacé in Sparkling Daiquiri.
Available at Tangs Orchard, Takashimaya Department Store and Robinsons The Heeren.
The Sofia Le Marc Collection by Marc Jacobs
Ready to gift in a sparkly box housing a shiny black clutch, the Sofia Le Marc Collection ($65) by Marc Jacobs is the ultimate collectible item for rouge lovers.
The set includes five Le Marc Lip Crème shades made with the brand’s hydrating meranti and cocoa butter-infused formula.
These velvety lipsticks also have richly-hued pigments that are made to last for 10 hours, perfect for days when you have to go from work to party with barely enough time for touch ups.
It’s a tough pick but our favourite is the cherry red So Sofia, created for filmmaker Sofia Coppola.
Available at Sephora.
Stila A Whole Lot of Love Gift Set
Remember the times you penned letters to your crush, only to shy away when he looked your way? Stila’s holiday collection is inspired by the poetry and beauty of handwritten letters as an expression of classic romance.
The Stila A Whole Lot of Love Gift Set ($82) aims to make your heart flutter all over again. The all-in-one makeup palette for eyes and face is enclosed in a modern vintage special delivery package, complete with a postmark and seal.
A love letter to the makeup lover, the set includes 20 matte, pearl and shimmer eye shadows; four shades of blusher; and the Extreme Lash Mascara.
Available at Sephora.
Innisfree Perfumed Hand Cream Gift Set
The Innisfree Perfumed Hand Cream Gift Set ($17) is a wonderful gift set featuring three scents: Sweet Holiday, Snowy Tree and Warm Wood. Each one aims to capture the excitement, spirit and warmth of the Christmas season.
Keep your hands soft and smooth with the hand cream’s shea and jojoba butter formulas whether you’re embarking on a winter adventure or celebrating the festivities in the tropics.
I find myself reaching out for the Warm Wood hand cream often, as its woody scent is both comforting and invigorating to the senses.
Available at Innisfree stores.
