Every holiday season, a few select beauty items appear on the scene that are so exquisite, no other gifts will do. We’re talking about items that feel indulgently lavish — like an opulent-smelling fragrance, a high-tech face cream, and a sophisticated skin-care tool. Not impractical in any form, you’ll enjoy giving these one-of-a-kind gifts to a partner, parent, or best friend, and they’ll be delighted to have them in their possession. Ahead, this year’s list of unparalleled presents to shop for all your loved ones this holiday season.
Michael Kors Wonderlust
There’s no higher indulgence than smelling absolutely, addictively divine. This exotic, can’t-quite-put-your-finger-on-it blend melds bright notes of Italian bergamot, Sicilian mandarin, and jasmine with soft, creamy layers of vanilla-like heliotrope, sandalwood, and cashmere wood. It’s elegant, luxurious, and the perfect addition to anyone’s fragrance wardrobe.
Hermés Rouge Hermés Matte Metallic Lipstick
Precious metals — in lipstick form — thanks to art-deco-inspired packaging by Pierre Hardy and creamy lip matte color with subtle metallic undertones. It’s limited edition, so be sure to get your hands on it before it’s gone.
Chanel Éclat Lunaire Oversize Illuminating Face Powder
Brushed over skin, this prismatic rose gold powder — emblazoned with No.5 against the moon’s surface — gives skin an otherworldly, soft-focused glow that’s unmatched.
