The best beauty gifts are rarely the biggest beauty gifts.
They are the thoughtful little somethings, mind-over-materialism options;
stocking fillers that aren't merely filler.
What we want at Christmas is to ‘feel seen', as the young people put it.
Below are my favourite ways of doing this.
Concoct a cosmetic
The best beauty present I gave myself in 2024 was to take my favourite discontinued lipstick along to British beauty stalwarts Cosmetics à la Carte and ask them to replicate it.
Or maybe you or your friend have never found ‘The One'. One of C à la C's make-up artists can help you discover it.
The brand also offers bespoke concealer, foundation, palettes and application lessons.
An e-voucher for The Bespoke Lipstick Blending Experience costs £80 (cosmeticsalacarte.com,
last orders noon on the 24th), including the finished product,
refills £70. The joy factor? Priceless.

Proffer a Beauty Pie subscription
For £59 you can give a loved one a Beauty Pie membership that will allow them brilliant deals all
year, on bestsellers such as its YouthBomb 360° Radiance Concentrate (members £44,
non-members, £185, beautypie.com), or Brazilian Lime, Fig Leaves & Tea Eau De Parfum (members
£28, non-members £60, beautypie.com).
Small, but perfectly-formed objects
Andrea Garland has just released a fresh array of her glorious Vintage Lip Balms (from
£18, andreagarland.co.uk).
I am no less passionate about the Gallic brand
Officine Universelle Buly.
Alas, its Selfridge's counter is all out of its exquisite engravable lip-balms (£43, Selfridges, Oxford Street), however, combs can still be personalised (from £27, both
at buly1803.com).
Or console yourself with the Alabaster kit
in the woody Sumi Hinoki scent (£70), a porcelain box, stone
and flacon of perfume essence.
The loveliest beauty bibelot this Christmas is
the Chanel Eau de Parfum Refillable Purse Spray (£165), a sleek atomiser on a chain to be
sported as a bracelet or bag charm
The jet version boasts No 5 (still available at flannels.com); the
white No 5 L'Eau (chanel.com). In my fantasies all my womenfolk
will receive one.
Bijou beauty treats
Chanel and Dior produce the most thrilling lip and nail fillips.
Present me with a Chanel Nail Colour in Storyteller (£29,
chanel.com) a magnificent, deep purple, and a Dior Addict Lip Glow in Pink Lilac
(£33, Boots.com) on the 25th and I'd be an extremely happy woman.
I gifted myself a By Terry Ombre Blackstar Travel Stick in Bronze Moon (£17, sephora.co.uk) last December,
and this suits-everyone eye crayon is an absolute winner.
Women rightly go mad for Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Liners (£32, victoriabeckhambeauty.com),
while no one has ever been disappointed by a Lancôme mascara (from £14,
Boots.com).

‘feel seen'
Beautiful body gifts
I'm praying some kind soul presents me with a 250ml-size Olverum Bath Oil (£78, ukolverum.com), enough for
50 soaks, plus the Aromatherapy Associates Rebalancing Heroes Collection (£100,
aromatherapyassociates.com), jam-packed with tranquillity
restorers.
Oh, and a This Works Sleep Plus Massage Relief Roll-on (currently reduced from £38 to £15.20, thisworkscbd.com) to
grind into my neck.
Gift sets that keep giving
The gift sets I most desire are ones that feel more considered, more unique.
Escentric Molecules M+ Discovery Set (£55, for eight 8.5ml sprays, escentric.com) is the perfect introduction to this brilliant and
beautiful perfume label.
A box from the Michael Van Clarke Luxury LifeSaver Cracker Collection (now £75
for eight, vanclarke.com) plus a mini No 1 Brush(£28.50), could turn someone's hair
around. Nails Inc gift sets are sensational (from £8, nailsinc.com): its Thermochromic
Colour-changing Nail Polish Set (now £20) will delight
children of all ages.
While Diptyque's jewel-coloured Sapin, Friandise & Étoile (Pine, Sweet Treat & Star)
set of holiday candles (£120, diptyqueparis.com) is an utter, swooning
delight.
RACE YOU TO IT
TYPEBEA G1 Overnight Boosting Peptide Serum
TYPEBEA G1 Overnight Boosting Peptide Serum (£43, sephora.co.uk) has sold out at Boots following vast virtual excitement.
Powered by clinically-proven Baicapil™, this non-greasy formula harnesses peptides

ICON OF THE WEEK
Emily Mortimer
Paddington star Emily Mortimer, 53
The Paddington star, 53, had her skin prepped for the premiere
via the Kichi Beauty Youth Bomb Method (£450, kitchi.studio), claiming to restore three years' worth of collagen.
Her essentials are Batiste Original Dry Shampoo (£4.99,
Boots.com).
She also loves Pond's Cold Cream (from £9.98, amazon.co.uk) as a cleanser, and L'Orèal mascara (from £5).
COSMETIC CRAVING
Garnier Anti-Fatigue Hyaluronic Acid Cryo Jelly Eye Patches
Garnier Anti-Fatigue Hyaluronic Acid Cryo Jelly Eye Patches (now £3.32, superdrug.com)
I'm not a great mask fan. I prefer to get bang for my buck
using stuff that stays on my face.
However, Garnier Anti-Fatigue Hyaluronic Acid Cryo Jelly Eye Patches are the exception.
These biodegradable de-parchers and de-puffers are always
in my fridge, not least at this challenging time of year.
This morning, for no particular reason - lack of sleep, sugar, dehydration?
- my face looked grey, sad and shrivelled.
I popped on my patches, going over them with a cheap metal eye roller
(£4.99, Amazon.co.uk), then massaged the excess into
my face and neck. Cured! Slip some into everyone's stocking -
and lay a few down for New Year.

Hello there! This blog post could not be written much better!
Reading through this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He continually kept preaching about this. I will send this information to him.
Fairly certain he's going to have a very good read. Thanks for sharing!
