Clean Beauty Gift Guide
1. Tula Brighter Days 3-Piece Eye Balm + Masks Set, $34 (a $48 value)
Perfect for: your friend that is never not masking
Tula’s hydrogel mask is easily one of my favorites because it comes in two pieces (a top piece and bottom piece) which makes it so much easier to put on and actually cover your whole face. It also has eye flaps and a lips flap so you can reallyyyy get the full-face treatment. It definitely hydrates and brightens well! I like to use it after doing some form of exfoliation.
And the eye balm this set comes with is kinda lifechanging…?LOL! But I only say that because I’ve never seen a product anything like it! And the cooling effect it has is incredibly soothing and gives a nice glow to anywhere you use it. Can be used under or over makeup and really is such a cool addition to anyone’s beauty cabinet!
2. Beautycounter Bright Eyes Treatment Eye Cream + Eye Masks Set, $89 (a $129 value)
Perfect for: your friend who worries about aging (or anyone a bit more mature)
This is eye cream is the crème de la crème. It’s from Beautycounter’s new skincare line called Countertime, which has been compared to La Mer… so it’s the real deal! And I haven’t tried the eye masks personally but I’m basically a fan of all under-eye masks since they are so relaxing and cooling (they are my go-to self-love ritual). These are even better since they are a clean version and reviews say they are really great at de-puffing and feel super nice!
Another way to utilize this set for gifting besides just giving the entire set to someone: gift the cream to your mom, mother-in-law, or your friend who worries way too much about aging (or keep it for yourself like me 🤓) and then gift the eye masks individually to friends or coworkers (also make great stocking stuffers!). The set comes with 6 sets of masks.
3. Beautycounter Glow & Go Mini Oils, $34 (a $51 value)
Perfect for: your skincare-obsessed friend
We all have that one friend that knows everything about beauty, tries every brand worth trying, and knows every new beauty launch. Well, she’s guaranteed to love these oils. I have tried several pretty high-quality oils myself, and these are definitely some of my favorites as far as consistency, smell, how it feels on your face, how quickly it absorbs, etc. These are seriously worth every penny! And they come in a really simple, pretty, rust-colored box – just tie a bow around and done!
4. Tata Harper Glow Getter Cleanser + Mask Set, $48 (a $73 value)
Perfect for: your friend that complains about looking tired
She may have a demanding job, a new baby, or just likes to nit-pick at her complexion (and the dullness that may or may not actually be there) – but I feel like we all have that one friend! Well she is going to LOVE this set, it basically guarantees a glow. I personally have been using the Resurfacing Mask for many years now and love what it does. It not only helps me fight breakouts, but it really does brighten up my face – it’s truly amazing! This set also includes the Regenerating Cleanser.
5. Counterman Carry-on Gift Set, $45
Perfect for: him!
This set includes four essential men’s products, conveniently sized to take on-the-go, that feature their special ingredient formulated for the Counterman line: the Sequoia Stem Cell Complex to help protect skin and hair from everyday stress.
The set contains a shampoo, body wash, cleanser, and lotion – the perfect essentials for day-to-day or any kind of vacay.
Get him into clean beauty without him even knowing it 🤓
6. Summer Fridays Merry & Brighter Mask Trio, $64 (a $90 value)
Perfect for: your trendy friend
Just looking at the packaging of these masks alone, your trend-obsessed friend will be filled with glee opening this gift! It would also be a good value (for your budget) to break the trio up and gift one to 3 different friends as well. But, if you didn’t know, these masks are seriously all the rage these days and anyone who’s trend-focused will be thrilled to be able to try one or all three!
The Jet Lag Mask hydrates and polishes away dullness and reduces pores and uneven skin. The Overtime Mask is packed with vitamins A, K, and C, pumpkin exfoliates and hydrates skin for brightness. And the R+R Mask is a two-in-one mask that lovingly buffs skin brighter before hugging it in a plush mix of restorative natural oils.
7. Sephora Favorites Clean Fragrance Sampler, $65 (a $107 value)
Perfect for: your minimalist friend / your friend with a sensitive nose / your friend who loves clean beauty
I think these fragrance sampler sets are such great gifts! My aunt gave me one of these sets once or twice in high school and I honestly thought it was the coolest gift ever. I just self-gifted this to myself because I read in the reviews that a lot of the scents included in this sampler are great for sensitive-nose people (like myself).
Plus, it’s an AMAZING value, since you also get the full-size of your favorite scent from the set! I ended up choosing a full-size that was $96. So I got the luxury (and fun!) of sampling several clean scents AND saved over $30 on the full-size bottle 🙌
8. Beautycounter The Jellies Lip Gloss Set of 5, $39 (a $60 value)
9. Beautycounter Mini Lipgloss Vault Set of 10, $89 (a $126 value)
Both perfect for: all your girlfriends/coworkers/roommates
I love to give my girlfriends and/or coworkers a little something around the holidays, and this is just perfect for that. Each jelly gloss equates to under $8 each and each lipgloss equates to under $9 each (and that’s before the discount ending Dec 1), and your giftee is going to LOVE that it is a clean beauty product (it’s a fun little fact that you can tell them when they open it!).
Plus, the jellies each have the most fun flavors/scents and the mini lip glosses are all mandarin violet scented (which sounds delightful).
