We all know someone who is impossible to shop for. It might be your parent, sibling, significant other, or it could even be you. If you’re in search for some holiday gifts that are a little more personal than cash or a regular old gift card, then a beauty gift set might be just the ticket. Whether you’re looking to give the gift of skincare, fragrances, makeup, or haircare, there’s a beauty gift set out there that’s bound to make your loved one happy. Not only that, but it’s a great way for them to try new products from brands that you know they love, and as the purchaser, the value is pretty great, too!

I think we can all agree that pumpkin has become the unofficial mascot for the autumn season. What was once just a cute fall activity has now become a phenomenon as pumpkins are no longer restricted to being picked from patches and turned into jack-o-lanterns for Halloween.
As soon as September and October hit, this staple fall vegetable can be found anywhere and everywhere. Thanks to the insane popularity of PSL‘s and pumpkin pie, you can now get basically anything in a pumpkin spice flavour. However, one area you might not expect to find pumpkin is in your beauty products.
It turns out that pumpkin is good for more than just pies, lattes, and jack-o-lanterns. This round and orange gourd is full of vitamins and antioxidants that, when used in beauty and skincare products, pumpkin can help deliver serious results.

While some folks might still be mourning the loss of summer, I know there are some (myself included), who jump for joy for the return of fall. Not only am I super excited to wear cozy sweaters and coats, but new fall beauty launches are like Christmas freakin’ morning. Not only are so many amazing brands coming out with inventive new products, but with the weather turning chillier, it’s super important to take care of our skin by hydrating and using the correct skincare products. Don’t think the fun stops at skincare — there are some super exciting new fall beauty products coming down the pipeline. From exfoliators, pre-shampoo masks, and roll-on scalp treatments, it’s all here!
Having a step-by-step complete makeup and skincare routine is great, but have you ever gone tried packing it all up for a trip wishing you could downsize? Before you start throwing out your faves, why not consider switching to multitasking beauty products?
Not only are these goodies perfect for on-the-go, some even are two-in-ones that will just make your life easier. From multi-use masks and dual ended highlight/contour sticks, to eye creams and serums, this list won’t have you skimping on the essentials, just simplifying and lightening your load.

If you’re like me, then you hate packing with a pure passion. How could I be expected to know what beauty products while I travel? I detest packing and decision making in general, so I end up overpacking and bringing anything and everything I think I’ll need with me. Because I basically bring my whole beauty and skincare arsenal with me, I often have zero room left in my suitcase for clothes and shoes. If you can relate, and let’s be honest, I’m hoping that a few of you can, you probably need to switch over from bringing full-size products with you. Nowadays, there are so many of our fave mini beauty products that are perfect for travel.

Doing a full skincare routine on the plane is all the rage these days, and as ridiculous as it might seem, it’s actually a good idea. The air on planes is recycled and it’s known for being drying and stale. Combat the dehydration and slather on a quality moisturizer and there’s none better than Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask. Because this product is a leave on mask, it rubs right in so the whole plane thankfully won’t know you’re wearing a face mask.

Whether you’re travelling by plane, train, or car, your skin will need a little revitalizing whilst you’re on your trip. Instead of lugging around a large heavy bottle of your fave fact mist, opt for a lighter version instead. The cult fave Caudalie Beauty Elixir is a brilliant way to freshen up after a long travel day.

Just because you’re on holiday, it doesn’t mean you can skimp on your skincare. Don’t go without a good exfoliation – just pack a mini version of your fave. My go-to is Dermalogica’s Daily Microfoliant and I’m thrilled it comes in a travel-friendly size because travelling can wreak absolute havoc on your skin

If you’re heading on a beach vacay, sweat, and sunscreen can result in lots of build up on your scalp, so packing Christophe Robin’s iconic scalp scrub is a great idea. This scalp exfoliator cleanses and soothes sensitive, flaky, and oily scalps.
Even if you’re bringing your whole beauty cabinet with you on your trip, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a multitasking product. Glossier’s Milk Jelly Cleanser can be used as a makeup remover when used on dry skin, or as a cleanser that cleans deep on wet skin. What’s even better is it’s cruely-free, vegan, dermatologist tested, and ophthalmologist tested so it’s safe to use around the eyes.

With baggage weight limitations in effect, it doesn’t make sense to waste space bringing your full size foundation in its heavy glass bottle. However, don’t think that I’m expecting you to travel without your essentials. It pays to buy a mini version of your go-to foundation and save it for travel days ahead. Giorgio Armani’s Luminous Silk Foundation is a fave for a reason as it’s weightless and gives skin a gorgeous, radiant finish.

There’s something about travelling that just deflates your hair. If you need a bit of a pick me up in the haircare department, try a volumizing shampoo. This travel size shampoo from Rahua delivers noticable volume and body while nourishing strands with ingredients like omega-3s and rahua oil.
