Here are make-up and skincare bundles and advent calendars perfect for gifting or keeping
The countdown is on, and The Straits Times is unwrapping the ultimate holiday gifting guide for every beauty lover on your Christmas shopping list.
Whether you are looking for an advent calendar or a thoughtful, guilt-free skincare treat, we have rounded up some of our top picks to make spirits bright and beauty routines even brighter.
But here is the catch: Many of these beauty gems are limited-edition, holiday-only E releases.
So, if you want to snag these festive favourites for your loved ones or even yourself, act fast.
LUSH 2024 HOLIDAY
Lush's Christmas collection brims with festive bath bombs, shimmery scents and bubbly delights that promise to make your self-care routine feel like the merriest celebration of the year.
The British cosmetic retailer's beautifully packaged Christmas gift sets range from an affordable $30 to $500 for the Lush Advent Calendar, which includes exclusives like the Gold Star Bubble Bar and the Father Christmas Bath Bomb.
A standout mid-range pick is the Festive Fresh Gift Set at $110, which includes the Elfish Shower Jelly, a Snowdrift Bath Bomb, Christmas Lights Soap and a Magical Santa Bath Bomb.
Also, get ready for the return of the ultimate holiday MVP: Snow Fairy. This bubblegum- and candy floss-scented sensation has been a beloved Lush Christmas staple for 19 years.
It is reimagined in more creative forms each holiday season, and this year is no exception.
The Glow Fairy Shower Gel (from $24) is a magical version that glows in the dark when charged under light and features soothing oatmilk and organic cherry juice that is said to tone, brighten and leave your skin radiant.
Meanwhile, the Snow Fairy Milkshake Shower Gel (from $24) has a velvety texture and similar skin-loving ingredients.
