20 Iconic Beauty Gift Sets That Everyone You Know Is Swooning Over
Get the hottest beauty bundles of the season for your friends... or yourself!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year…or the most stressful, depending on your threshold for holiday cheer. This celebratory season is typically marked by gatherings with loved ones, traveling, time off from work, and plenty of cozy nights in.
It’s also a time when gift-giving is a given, whether you’re buying for someone else or treating yourself. No credit card or cash stash is safe once those Thanksgiving leftovers have been stored away. If you need to be more conscious of your spending this year, it’s helpful to shop according to certain price points, which can eliminate anxiety and encourage more thoughtful decision-making.
Or, another gifting method we personally love is swearing by gift sets. More often than not, they come at value prices you wouldn’t get if the items were purchased separately. Plus, gift sets are the best way to sample products or brands you’ve never tried.
And when it comes to beauty products, oh wow, there are so many iconic choices this time of year! To help you shop them smartly, here are some of the buzziest beauty gift sets available at four different price points: under $25, under $50, under $100, and under $200.
And in true millennial fashion, their special packaging is as chic as the products are transformative!

Under $25
1. slip Medusa Nights Pure Silk Skinny Scrunchie Set
The best budget-friendly gifts are the ones that perform double duty. In the case of this slip Medusa Nights Pure Silk Skinny Scrunchie Set, not only are you getting a set of four silk scrunchies. It also comes in stylish ornament packaging that can be hung from a tree.
While traditional hair ties can cause unsightly dents and pull at delicate hair strands, silk absorbs less hair product and lays more flat, which means less chance for breakage.
Price: $25 at Nordstrom
2. Pat McGrath Labs Mini Lip Shine Trio
Many a high-fashion runway has benefitted from the expert hands of celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath, whose namesake makeup line is a favorite among A-listers and normies alike.
The Pat McGrath Labs Mini Lip Shine Trio comes with a LUST: Gloss, PermaGel Lip Pencil, and a Divinyl Lip Shine, all of which can be used separately or together. The Nude Venus shade is one that will compliment a variety of skin tones, and this limited edition set is a unique opportunity to sample the luxe range.

3. Ulta Discover the Joy of Fragrance Set
Purchasing fragrance online is a gamble, as a person’s unique body chemistry will impact how those perfume notes land. The Ulta Discover the Joy of Fragrance Set is a low-cost way to test-drive 10 of today’s most popular scents before committing to just one.
Our personal favorite is Carolina Herrera’s award-winning Very Good Girl scent, which just so happens to be housed in a display-worthy, shoe-shaped bottle.

4. TONYMOLY All You Need Mask Set
TONYMOLY is in the upper echelon of cult favorite sheet masks. There are so many icons, it would almost be unfair to gift just one. Thankfully, the TONYMOLY All You Need Mask Set exists. Inside are 13 of the brand’s best-selling masks and combined, target a wide range of common skin care concerns.
The directions, however, are the same for each one: remove after 20-30 minutes and rub the excess essence into the face and neck. Easy enough, right?

5. Patchology Best in Snow Moisturizing Foot Booties and Hand Masks
Winter is particularly brutal on the face and feet. Unless our hands are always gloved in cold weather, they’re prone to dryness and flaking. And with our feet covered, it becomes a whole lot easier to keep up with the pedicures we swore by during summer.
The Patchology Best in Snow Moisturizing Foot Booties and Hand Masks are both packed with butters and oils for intense moisture and baby-soft skin in under 10 minutes.
Price: $18 at Patchology

6. amika good vibes only hydrate and repair hair mask set

Moisture is the focus of each product included and all three are made without sulfates, parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, MCIT/MIT, artificial colors, and petrolatum.
The standout one is the blue bottle: an overnight, hyaluronic acid-infused treatment that promises more hydration by morning.
Price: $39 at amika
