Byredo Nomade Discovery Set  $53

There’s no better way to acquaint yourself with a fragrance house than through samples or discovery sets. With these, you get to experience a range of scents without a substantial investment, making it easier to move on if some don’t quite hit the mark. Gift-giving fragrances presents its own set of challenges; after all, who wants to spend $300 on a bottle that the recipient might not even like? That just doesn’t sit right.

Enter Byredo with a genius solution—the money spent on the discovery set can be applied toward a 50ml or 100ml fragrance purchase! Yup, you heard that right. Simply make your purchase on their website, and within four weeks of acquiring your discovery set, you’ll receive an email voucher that can be applied to the fragrance of your (or the gift-giver’s) choice. It’s essentially testing for free! I’m sold.

CHANEL La Crème Main  $55

‘Tis the season for some dry hands—ain’t that the truth? Next time you reach into your bag, pull out Chanel’s La Crème Main, because you fancy like that. It’s not just a moisturizer; it’s a brightener, a protectant, and a nail strengthener all rolled up into one sleek package. With a subtle scent, it fits easily anywhere, and let’s be honest, it just looks cool in your hands.

EADEM Cloud Cushion Airy Brightening Moisturizer  $58

This is a must in my personal skincare arsenal, as well as in my makeup kit. In fact, I use EADEM’s Cloud Cushion on some of my top-tier clientele. Why is it so special, considering they are fairly new to the scene? Because it delivers! It feels cushy to the touch and absorbs without heaviness or greasiness but leaves your skin fully hydrated. It’s designed to prevent the appearance of dark spots with the use of peptides, ceramides, and Snow Mushroom, and suitable for all skin types. It’s skincare that works and gives your foundation something amazing to stand on!

Givenchy Prisme Libre Setting & Finishing Loose Powder  $59

Ever since discovering this powder years ago, I haven’t let it out of my grasp. It’s more than just a powder; it’s an instant filter. The description claims it’s “designed to mattify, blur, and illuminate, resulting in a more even complexion with a transparent, second-skin finish,” and every word of that holds true! I’ve used this powder on both women and my men’s grooming clients, and it leaves nothing behind but a flawless finish. Without a doubt, this is my favorite loose setting powder to date, and gifting it would undoubtedly earn you a place in anyone’s good graces.

LE LABO Candle Discovery Set  $84

Candles make for a prime gift-giving idea, but selecting a home fragrance for someone can be tricky. You aim for something classy, but how can you be certain it’s going to be good? I’ve sniffed some high-end candles worth hundreds of dollars that should’ve been on a shelf at Marshall’s. However, there’s a sure thing with Le Labo’s Candle Discovery Set. We all adore Le Labo, and they’ve bundled up a few of their most beloved scents in snug 2oz. clear glass vessels, presented in classic Le Labo packaging. So, you already know it’s going to look and smell amazing in the home, any time of the year.

YSL Rouge Volupté Candy Glaze Lip Gloss Stick  $39

Treat that special someone (even if it’s secretly you) on any occasion with this beauty. First, let’s talk about how GORGEOUS this packaging is. It’s like opening a present every time you use it—truly a delight. This lip gloss stick is more than a treat; it’s a nourishing balm packed with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and mango oils. It’s super soft and effortlessly melts into a glossy appearance. On second thought, why not buy two? One for them and one for you. 

Pfefe Stainless Steel Cryo Sticks  $21.99-$59.99

Imagine the sensation of gliding stainless steel wonders across your face – an instant pick-me-up that’s both invigorating and revitalizing. The cool touch is a year-round blessing, reducing puffiness and leaving the skin with a radiant, healthy glow, whether it’s the heat of summer or the crispness of winter. Pfefe Stainless Steel Cryo Sticks does all of that while encouraging lymphatic drainage, increasing blood flow and circulation, reducing inflammation, and improving the absorption or active ingredients making them a most thoughtful present for the ones you care about. With their sleek design and versatile benefits, they embody the essence of self-care and make for the perfect gift, no matter the occasion. Imagine no more. 

Chantecaille’s Cleanse & Smooth Set  $108

In the world of gift-giving, conscious luxury is all the rage, and presenting someone with Chantecaille will undoubtedly leave you in high regards. When it comes to skincare gifts, I always recommend opting for at least two items that seamlessly work together within the same system. Enter Chantecaille’s Cleanse & Smooth set – a thoughtfully curated duo designed to complement each other, ensuring your loved one achieves the max benefits from their new products.

This Cleanse & Smooth set from Chantecaille takes the guesswork out of what to buy, offering a dynamic duo that goes beyond the ordinary. Priced just above the budget, it’s so temptingly close that making the leap for this indulgent gift is a no-brainer. Trust me; the impact of the luxurious and consciously crafted Chantecaille experience is well worth the investment.
