After a jam-packed 12 months, the holidays are the time of year to go all out. You could embrace the maximalist nature of the season by adopting a more-is-more approach to your festive beauty looks — think glittery eye makeup paired with a bold red lip. You could also completely wipe your calendar and take advantage of “rot week,” the days between Christmas and New Year’s Eve where you treat your skin and hair with all of the nourishing serums and masks while binge-watching your favorite TV shows. Alternatively, you can treat your loved ones (and yourself of course) with one of the best luxury beauty gifts. Because, hey, everyone deserves to feel fancy after getting through the trials and tribulations of another year.
If the third scenario aligns with your MO for the 2024 holiday season, you’re in luck because there are countless high-ticket products and gift sets to indulge in. Brands like Dior and Sisley Paris have curated collections of their most-famous products to create luxurious at-home routines. There’s also high-tech tools like Dyson’s Airwrap hair-styler and the celebrity-favorite skin-boosting Lyma Laser, which are sure to surprise and delight.
