The time of happiness, cheer and gift-giving has come again \u2013 and what better gift is there than beauty products? They\u2019re a crowd-pleaser. An easy win. A useful little luxury that is both glamorous and practical.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>In a crowded sea of brands, devices and ingredients, it can be difficult to decide what to get \u2013 which is where we come in. A lot of products have passed through the beauty desk this year and we\u2019ve tested them all. Every now and then, we find one that really stands out, and these are what we are sharing with you now, because when it comes to beauty products, nothing beats a personal recommendation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>On this list, you\u2019ll find fragrances that smell like latex and leather, and ones that evoke the long, dark nights of Christmastime in Iceland. There are fancy beauty gadgets, statement eye masks, glossy balms and the chicest lipsticks in town. These are products that the Dazed team have used and loved this year, and we hope that they bring you as much joy as they have for us.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-launcher listicle-gallery slides owl-carousel\" data-gallery-title=\"Beauty Gift Guide 2025\">\n<div class=\"gallery-nav\">\n<div class=\"slide-index\">\n1\/28\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide-zero-tag-line slide-zero-tag-line-hidden\">\nYou may like\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dazeddigital.com\/beauty\/article\/69215\/1\/beauty-gift-guide-2025-dazed-editors-share-christmas-wishlists\/slide-2\" class=\"listicle-gallery-btn next\" data-target-slide-id=\"b4dab011-5f9c-40c2-8c09-b3a90116ec1e\" data-dir=\"next\"><br \/>\nnext<br \/>\n<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-item slide \" id=\"cf7f3327-6e77-4f51-a293-b3a90116f1c3\" data-current-slide=\"1\/28\" data-next-slide=\"b4dab011-5f9c-40c2-8c09-b3a90116ec1e\" data-previous-slide=\"00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000\" data-slide-ref=\"slide-1\">\n<div class=\"gallery-nav gallery-nav-mobile\">\n<div class=\"hidden-tablet hidden-desktop\">\n1\/28\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide-index hidden-phone\">\n1\/28\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-item-content\">\n<div class=\"gallery-item-contents\">\n<div class=\"image-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ALEX PETERS, BEAUTY DIRECTOR\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1432465.jpg\" width=\"800\" title=\"1432465\"><span class=\"image-credits\">Courtesy of Dries Van Noten<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-item-left-container\">\n<h2>ALEX PETERS, BEAUTY DIRECTOR<\/h2>\n<div class=\"text-container\">\n<p><strong>The gift I\u2019d like to give: Dries Van Noten Refillable Lipstick<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>An absolute crowd pleaser, I can\u2019t imagine anyone who wouldn\u2019t be impressed to receive one of these beautiful lipsticks.

A hairbrush is a lovely gift to give someone. You use a brush every day, so why not make it an object that looks and feels beautiful? As Joan Didion says, every day is all there is.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>La Bonne Brosse is the ultimate in bringing together utility with luxury. The founders (French, of course) roped in a dermatologist, a cosmetic physician, a hair stylist and an acupuncturist to create the brush, so you, and your hair, are in the very best hands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.labonnebrosse.com\/en\/products\/n-01-lexperte-soin-brillance-rose?srsltid=AfmBOopH6lr6c4Hj1PWnHamufLMQCywK2nXe6st0F_JRdPZgY-WtbjL2\"><span>Buy it here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-item slide not-active\" id=\"6e26431a-a439-41b2-99a9-b3a901162016\" data-current-slide=\"12\/28\" data-next-slide=\"71cedb92-a993-4f6b-9330-b3a90116f516\" data-previous-slide=\"6565310b-de79-407c-82c4-b3a90116eef1\" data-slide-ref=\"slide-12\">\n<div class=\"gallery-nav gallery-nav-mobile\">\n<div class=\"hidden-tablet hidden-desktop\">\n12\/28\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"slide-index hidden-phone\">\n12\/28\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-item-content\">\n<div class=\"gallery-item-contents\">\n<div class=\"image-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ALEX PETERS, BEAUTY DIRECTOR\" height=\"2058\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1432455.jpg\" width=\"1646\" title=\"1432455\"><span class=\"image-credits\">Courtesy of Fara Homidi<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"gallery-item-left-container\">\n<h2>ALEX PETERS, BEAUTY DIRECTOR<\/h2>\n<div class=\"text-container\">\n<p><strong>The gift I\u2019d like to receive: Fara Homidi Essential Lip Compact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span>I can\u2019t get enough of Fara Homidi.
