Finding the perfect beauty gift does not have to be a challenge! Whether you are looking for skincare, makeup, or haircare essentials, this gift guide offers a selection of highly-rated, must-have beauty products that any beauty enthusiast will adore. Each item is linked below for easy shopping, with photos to help you visualize the gifts.

After spending roughly a decade working at Anthropologie, I have come across countless beauty products—some hits, others misses. Over the years, a few of these items have earned a permanent spot in my own beauty routine. Whether it is a hydrating face cream or an indulgent body balm, these are products I genuinely stand by. Beyond my personal finds, several items in this gift guide have come to me as thoughtful gifts from family and friends. From skincare essentials to luxurious scents, this list covers a wide range of beauty must-haves that are perfect for treating yourself or someone special.


Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter

This luxurious, vegan, and cruelty-free face butter deeply hydrates and soothes the skin with argan oil and shea butter. I have given this as a gift to my sister in years past, and she swears it is the only face cream that helps to fight the dry, cold New England winters.

Shop the Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Face Butter here.


Josie Maran Head-to-Toe Hydration Kit

Give the gift of all-over moisture with this nourishing kit that hydrates both the face and body for soft, glowing skin. I have both given and received these items as a gift, and Josie Maran’s products are some of my favorites. I use both the organic moisturizing oil and the whipped argan oil face butter interchangeably after washing my face and the whipped argan oil is an amazing cream to put on after a shower.

Shop the Whipped Argan Oil Body Butter, Face Butter & Pure Argan Oil here.


Savannah Bee Company Beeswax Hand Cream

This rich hand cream is perfect for anyone who struggles with dry hands. It is packed with beeswax and natural oils to restore and protect. I have been obsessed with Savannah Bee Company since I first walked into their Westport, Connecticut location. Since then, I have been to the Disney Springs and the Savannah locations! One of my favorite items is the Beeswax & Royal Jelly Hand Cream – I always purchase the honey almond scent. This is always a present that is waiting for my mom under the Christmas tree or as a Mother’s Day gift.

Savannah Bee Company Rosemary Lavender Body Balm

This body balm has become one of my favorite multi-purpose creams. It offers intensive hydration without the greasy residue and is perfect for smoothing and softening dry skin. During my last visit to the Savannah Bee Disney Springs location, I decided to try out this body balm that I had been eyeing for a while. It is one of those products that you can use on your face, lips, cuticles, or hands, and it will seep right into your skin.

LANEIGE Dream Team Trio

Hydrate, repair, and refresh skin overnight with this water-based mask designed to visibly brighten and soften the complexion. This set offers 3 different types of sleeping masks for both your lips and face. I have used all of the masks, and my favorite, by far, is the lip sleeping mask- although all of them are great!

PAI SKINCARE Organic Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil

This organic facial oil is perfect for sensitive skin and helps regenerate and nourish with natural rosehip. The PAI brand is one that I was introduced to at Anthropologie, and I quickly loved this face oil. Since this product is on the thicker side, I use this oil primarily at night.

Egyptian Magic All-Purpose Skin Cream (4 oz)

Known for its versatile uses, this skin cream is the holy grail for a hydrating, healing, and restoring cream with a blend of natural ingredients. Made with olive oil, beeswax, honey, royal jelly, and propolis cera, Egyptian Magic is one of the cleanest products on this list. Not only is this cream great for your face and hands, but also, due to its natural ingredients, it is also excellent for scars and cuts.

Sukin Foaming Facial Cleanser

Perfect for purifying and soothing the skin, this gentle gel cleanser features green tea, aloe vera, and chamomile along with other all-natural ingredients. I must confess, this is the only item on this list that I have not tried yet, but it has been in my Amazon cart for some time while I use up some other products. I read an article that stated that Caitriona Balfe (Claire, for all of my Outlander fans) uses this cleanser, and the second I read that I promptly added this to my cart. And the price point is not too bad either!

Mario Badescu Facial Spray Collection

A must-have gift for hydration and refreshment, these mists are perfect for all skin types and leave a dewy finish. I typically use these facial sprays to set my makeup or to give my face a little pick-me-up. All 3 scents are great, but my favorite is the rosewater. I love that you can provide the whole set as a gift or split it up and add it to a small gift basket.

Philosophy Purity Made Simple Ultra-light Face Moisturizer

This lightweight, vitamin-rich formula provides 24-hour hydration and improves skin texture, making it a beauty bag essential. I typically wear this underneath my makeup when getting ready for the day, and it is especially my go-to lightweight moisturizer for warmer months.

Shop the Philosophy Purity Made Simple ultra-light face moisturizer here.


Philosophy Amazing Grace Eau de Toilette

With notes of bergamot, muguet, and musk, this long-lasting fragrance is a perfect blend of floral and clean scents. This is one of my favorite scents and sets! My mom and I are big Philosophy fans, and I always make sure to buy this set as either a Christmas or Mother’s Day gift.

Shop the Philosophy Amazing Grace Eau de Toilette set here.


Good Chemistry Queen Bee Eau de Parfum

This perfume is perfect for those who love bold, warm, and sweet scents. It’s cruelty-free and filled with positive energy. One year for my birthday, my friend gifted me with a Good Chemistry perfume, and I have been buying/wearing products from this brand ever since!

Shop the Good Chemistry Queen Bee Eau de Parfum here.


Beekman 1802 Whipped Body Cream (8 oz)

Formulated with goat milk, this body cream deeply hydrates and is perfect for sensitive skin. A few years back for Christmas, my mother gifted me a set from Beekman 1802, and their products are amazing. I love this cream – it is thick, luscious, and smells amazing.

Beekman 1802 8pc Bar Soap Set

This holiday set features 8 bars of rich, creamy soap, ideal for gifting and pampering. Along with the whipped body cream that I was gifted, I also received a soap set from Beekman 1802. These soaps are so good!

The Kopari Face & Body Wishlist Kit

Treat your skin from head to toe with this nourishing face and body care kit, perfect for glowing, hydrated skin. In this past year, I tried Kopari products for the first time from Anthropologie, and I am so impressed by this brand. The body wash and body butter are my favorites from this set!

MilleFee Painting Eyeshadow Palette

This artistic eyeshadow palette features beautiful, pigmented shades that blend easily for stunning eye looks. The set below features the “04 Woman with a Parasol,” and there are two other palettes featured in the collection. This is the perfect gift for the artistic person in your life who loves their beauty products!

Julep Eyeshadow 101 Crème to Powder Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick

This eyeshadow stick glides on effortlessly and delivers a long-lasting, waterproof color with a shimmer finish. This eyeshadow stick is great for a minimal “no-makeup” makeup look as well as for traveling. It is a great addition to your makeup bag.

IPKN Moist and Firm BB Cream (Light/Medium)

This BB cream combines skincare benefits with natural coverage, giving a radiant, even complexion. I first bought this BB cream from Urban Outfitters years ago, and I have been using this product ever since. I typically use this after applying concealer, and its lightweight formula is great for that extra bit of coverage and blending.

Shop the IPKN Moist and Firm BB Cream here.


Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick

Achieve bold, matte lips that last all day with this hydrating, no-transfer liquid lipstick. I recently started using stila liquid lipstick, and it is an incredible product. My favorite color is “Patina” and its color stays on all day long, even after meals. This is a great lip color to wear for an event or a night out when you do not want to constantly reapply color to your lips.

Shop the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick, Matte Finish here.


OUAI Leave In Conditioner & Heat Protectant Spray (4.7 oz)

This multitasking spray smooths, adds shine, and protects hair from heat, leaving it feeling soft and silky. My sister bought this spray for me one year for Christmas, and it is a product that I still use to this day. I use this after I wash my hair and before styling. It smells amazing and leaves my hair feeling so soft and smooth. This is one product to definitely add to your haircare regime.

Kitsch Rosemary & Biotin Shampoo and Conditioner Bar Set

Ideal for thinning hair, this shampoo and conditioner bar set boosts volume and promotes hair growth with rosemary and biotin. This Kitsch set is perfect for on-the-go and traveling, especially on those quick trips where carry-on liquid space is limited. There are a few different formulas depending on your hair care needs, but the Rosemary & Biotin set is my favorite!

Dior Creme Abricot Fortifying Cream For Nails

This fortifying cream hydrates and nourishes the nails and cuticles for stronger, healthier nails. This is hands-down the best cuticle cream for nails that I have ever used. I would have never tried this cream if my sister had not given it to me for Christmas. This little container lasts so long (I am still working on mine two years later) and it is well worth the price point for the quality of the product.

Body Prescription Deep Exfoliating Body Scrub

Scrub away dry, dead skin with this deep exfoliating body scrub duo, leaving skin soft and smooth. I have been using Body Prescription body scrubs for years, and my favorite is the charcoal one! This set comes in a pack of two, so you can gift one and keep one too!

Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Botanical Cleansing Oil

This botanical cleansing oil effectively removes makeup while leaving the skin hydrated and soothed. The Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery oil is my favorite face wash and makeup remover. I first tried this product when I received it in a Birchbox set a few years ago, and I have been using it ever since!

BARR-CO Honeysuckle Scent Hand Soap & Lotion Duo

This elegant hand soap and lotion set is perfect for pampering hands while adding a touch of sophistication to any space. I was introduced to Barr-Co products from my time working at Anthropologie, and this set is one of my favorites. This is such a great gift for any woman in your life!

Swedish Dream Sea Salt Hand Crème

This hand cream duo delivers intense moisture with a refreshing sea salt scent, perfect for daily hydration. Swedish Dream hand crème is another product I was introduced to while working at Anthropologie. Since I was consistently working with my hands as the in-house Display Artist, this was the only cream that did the trick. A little goes a long way with this creme, and this one is a 2 pack!

Swedish Dream 3 Pack Soap Bar Set

Marble Cosmetic & Toiletry Bag Set

This chic and waterproof makeup bag set is perfect for organizing cosmetics and toiletries when on the go. Given to me as a birthday gift from my sister, this is the set I use for storing my makeup and toiletries as well as the set I take with me on my travels.
