gift guide x makeup kits

How many holiday beauty kits are too many holiday beauty kits? Answer – there are never enough. Never. Truly my favourite time of the year is right now as brands put together incredible sample kits containing their best sellers for you to try at a start-the-car price. Today I’ve put together some of my favourite holiday beauty kits for beauty lovers on your list…or yourself, because who am I kidding – we deserve!

First up is this four-piece lip butter set from Summer Fridays. A brand all about ‘effortless beauty for modern lives”.

Summer Fridays | Lip Butter Balm Set | $40USD

Summer Fridays | Lip Butter Balm Set

These not-sticky, buttery, and totally lux lip balms are 100% vegan and act instantly giving your lips a gorgeous shine and moisturized feel. Summer Fridays is a growing brand, started by two beauty influencers wanting to create a product line that ticks all the boxes: easy-to-use, immediately satisfying, and so pretty you’d want them on display. And I think they’ve done it with these.

Containing three mini, slightly tinted balms – Vanilla Beige adds a touch of sheer beige tint, Brown Sugar imparts a veil of nude color; Poppy glazes lips in a sheer shade of coral; and one full-size untinted Vanilla which is what I pop on overnight as a lip mask.

DESIGNME | Care Discovery Kit | $28

Design.Me

This is a brand I have fallen in love with (you can read more about my favourite products of theirs, here). Their leave-in treatments are the very best – never weighing my thin and fine hair down. I also love their Puff.Me volumizing powder – perfect for holiday hair looks.

This DESIGNME limited-edition holiday hair kit features a three routine that will boost your hair’s hydration and shine while minimizing frizz – perfect for this dry time of year. 

The DESIGNME Care Discovery Set includes:

  • GLOSS.ME hydrating treatment mask: Deeply conditions and moisturizes while adding shine
  • FAB.ME leave-in treatment: This lightweight multi-tasking leave-in detangles, smooths, and protects
  • GLOSS.ME hair serum: Their best-selling hair serum infused with Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil to smooth, calm and give hair a weightless natural shine
  • A re-usable cosmetic pouch that is just perfect for air travel as it’s a zippered clear pouch that’s just the right size

Dr. Dennis Gross | Peel Vault Kit | $198

Dr Dennis Gross peel vault kit

You know I adore this brand. I recently wrote all about their brand new Vitamin C Lactic collection and partnered with them for my annual birthday giveaway. Their products are no joke and once you start using them – you’ll be hooked on the results.

I was so excited to learn they have holiday kits this year! Their Peel Vault is something you can’t not pick up, especially if you love dramatically smoother, more radiant, healthy looking skin.

The Dr Dennis Gross Peel Vault contains 60 Alpha Beta Extra Strength Daily Peels and 30 Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel pads for just $198 (a $313 value). What. A. Deal! You can pick this up now at Sephora.

Herbivore | C Stars Brightening Set | $95

Herbivore skin care set

Herbivore was founded in Seattle in 2011 and believes in “the power of nature to bring tangible results you can see and feel”. I am loving learning more about this brand as they make products and packaging that considers the planet and our bodies. Truly natural projects that are highly effective and tested on real people. They package in glass and paper, using recycled & recyclable plastic only when necessary.

This holiday season Herbivore released multiple gift sets, with this – their C Star Brightening Set being one of their newest. This is limited-edition set targeted at people who want bright and balanced skin.

This set is great for those with dark spots, dullness, and redness and contains:

  • NOVA 15% Vitamin C Serum: A brightening serum that combines 15% THD Vitamin C with super root turmeric to improve dark spots and even skin tone
  • PINK CLOUD Cleanser: A gentle cleanser that removes makeup and leaves skin clean, comfortable, and never stripped of moisture
  • LAPIS Face Oil: A skin-soothing face oil that balances congested complexions, soothes irritated skin and helps reduce the appearance of redness
