For the travelista: RMK holiday makeup kit
If she loves to travel and is a minimalist when it comes to makeup - yet she still wants to look great - this is the right pick for her. We love the natural brown and pinkish hues which could be worn day and night and the cute clutch which is super easy to carry along on those holidays.

3/10
for the ‘nail’ fanatic: Jacqueline Burchell ‘i am peranakan’ box
We love this set of 4 versatile and classy hues, inspired by the Peranakan culture of Southeast Asia. Definitely a collectible for anyone who’s into pampering their nails.

4/10
for the ‘lippy’ lady: Sara Happ Red Velvet Lips Set

5/10
for the ‘au naturel’ type: Bellabox Detox Gift Set
This is the perfect gift for the conscious lady who wants to get herself back in tip-top shape after all the holiday eating, drinking and dolling up. With a selection of products ranging from soothing tea to massage oil, peeling pad and all the perk-me-up products needed to compensate lack of sleep – we give this box the thumbs up!

Bellabox Detox Gift Set is available at Bellabox, approx. USD48.
6/10
body care: The Body Shop CRANBERRY JOY SHOWER, SCRUB AND MOISTURE COLLECTION
There are many reasons why we love The Body Shop, some of which are their ethos of always giving back to the community, being against animal testing and of course their great products. Our pick from the holiday special sets would be the CRANBERRY JOY SHOWER, SCRUB AND MOISTURE COLLECTION (Shower Gel 250 ml Body Polish 75 ml Body Butter 50 ml Heart Soap 25 g). Great for pampering after a hot shower.

The Body Shop CRANBERRY JOY SHOWER, SCRUB AND MOISTURE COLLECTION is available at all The Body Shop outlets, approx. USD33.

This is a makeup junkie’s dream when she is on the go! Refillable, customizable and complete with rechargable LED mirror which ensures she never gets dolled up in the dark.

GlamPact Pink is available at Luxola, approx. USD103.
8/10
for the secret ‘angel’: Victoria’s secret Prestige Mist Coffret
If she prefers sexy scents to fruity ones, why not pick this sultry mist collection from Victora’s Secret to get her in touch with her inner angel?

Victoria’s secret Prestige Mist Coffret is available at all Victoria’s Secret outlets, approx.USD52.
9/10
for the skincare fan: Clarins+FEED set
For a feel good gift which also comes with a purpose, this is a definite winner. Not only we love the radiant skincare essentials in this set, but also because Clarins has partnered with FEED to help children in need to fight hunger worldwide. By buying one set, you’ll also be providing 10 meals for children under the United Nations World Food Programme.

Clarins+FEED set is available at Clarins counters, approx. USD60.

Having soft hands is always a joy and this set of 12 heavenly-scented moisturising creams will definitely delight any lady.

for the pro-wannabe: Sephora Makeup Academy Blockbuster

Whether she loves makeup, body products or even likes to be ‘au naturel’ – when it comes to beauty gifts, here’s what you should get the ‘beauty junkie’ in your life.

As the countdown towards Christmas gets closer, we are all guilty of rushing to buy those gifts we’ve been postponing for a few weeks now. And if the receiver is a lady, the result is often a perfume that she’ll never wear, products she doesn’t like or makeup kits she would rather keep un-opened.

Of course the thought does count but don’t you for once want to be the best at gift giving and earn some brownie points from the ladies in your life?

So instead of panicking and picking up random stuff, we’ve decided to give you some fail-proof tips on what to buy for whom.

Yes, makeup and beauty junkies vary quite a lot so make sure you pick the right gift for the right beauty junkie!
