Ole Henriksen Let's Get Luminous Brightening Vitamin C Essentials Set

The Christmas beauty gift sets that launch in the festive run-up each year are my favourite thing about December. Sure, the beauty advent calendars, beauty Christmas crackers, skincare gift sets, perfume gift sets and party dresses are pretty epic, too. But what makeup junkie or skincare fanatic doesn't love to open a Christmas beauty gift from one of the most epic brands in the business on 25th December?

I began waiting with bated breath for the shops to start dropping beauty gift sets galore circa August 2021 – not only to buy them for all of my best friends, but to stockpile them for myself 'til I can do the whole thing all over again. And – contrary to everything else over the past year-and-a-bit – they haven't disappointed.

There are some KILLER beauty Christmas gifts in 2021 from brands like Clinique, Aveda, Neom, Fenty, Olapex, The Ordinary and Isle of Paradise - stocked at the likes of FeelUnique and Beauty Bay - that'll go down an absolute treat with any veteran beauty sleuth. So, with just a couple of weeks to go 'til the big day, it's time to get adding to your Christmas wish list (or go straight to checkout).

Tonnes of beauty advent calendars are on sale for Black Friday (including Huda Beauty, By Terry, OPI and Feel Unique)

We've cherry-picked our favourite new beauty products, perfume gift sets, luxury makeup gift sets and limited edition makeup launches – along with some cracking skincare, fabulous fragrance and haircare products to boot – for the beloved beauty buffs in your life. What's more, we'll be adding to this edit right up until Christmas eve – so when your favourite brands drop Christmas beauty gift sets at a later date, you'll be the very first to know. Don't say we don't treat you.

Particular highlights? Boots is – once again – a treasure trove of epic beauty gifts sets. Liz Hewitt, Senior Christmas Buyer at Boots, says: "We're always on the hunt for the biggest and best brands to create a range of Christmas gifts that we know our customers will love. With the launch of Kylie Cosmetics by Kylie Jenner recently, her infamous Lip Kit will be on the wish list for all beauty fans this year".

Elsewhere, MAC's Christmas offering is pretty epic – the lipstick vault containing twelve miniature lipsticks takes centre stage – while TikTok-famed Dr Jart+'s Cicapair™ Skin Soothing gift set is selling like hot cakes at Selfridges. For fragrance gift sets, head to Jo Malone or Jimmy Choo, and for bath oils make a beeline for Aromatherapy Associates. This set is worth over £110. Hair gifts you're after? Living Proof will leave them with the softest locks of their life, while this hairdryer, cordless straightener and brush set from ghd is predicted to sell out fast.

It's the most wonderful time of the year, or at least, it's gearing up to be.
