MEGA Beauty Gift Guide: Rare Finds for the Beauty Obsessed
We all have that one friend whose beauty collection could rival a museum. There’s a room dedicated to makeup alone, an altar-like display of luxury perfumes, and drawers upon drawers of lipsticks in every shade imaginable. The question remains: what do you give someone who seemingly has it all? The answer lies in limited-edition beauty finds—coveted pieces designed to be collected, cherished, and remembered.

Yves Saint Laurent: The Couture Holiday
Yves Saint Laurent dares wearers to overdress—perhaps the most fitting way to celebrate the season—with The Couture Holiday collection, each piece encased in textured metallic gold. The house reintroduces its iconic Libre fragrance with Black Bourbon Vanilla Caviar sourced from Madagascar, layered with Rub Absolute for a sensual depth. Meanwhile, the Couture Mini Clutch in Golden Lust presents four shades that balance radiant glitters with wearable nudes.
Lips take center stage as well. The Slim arrives in a bold, fiery shade with a high-impact leather-matte finish, while the YSL Love Shine line receives a festive update. Candy Glaze Lipsticks debut two exclusive shimmer shades in nude and rose, and the Love Shine Plumping Lip Oil Gloss introduces Sparkling Dream, a pale pink, alongside Honey Moon, a muted old rose.
Jo Malone: The Orange Bitters Collection
Jo Malone brings back Orange Bitters, a perennial holiday favorite inspired by a classic festive cocktail. Bright and bittersweet at first spritz, the scent warms into sandalwood and amber, making it equally comforting and sensual. Available as a cologne, candle, or diffuser, Orange Bitters is a timeless gift in any form.
Guerlain: Imagine Guerlain and The Tale of Wonders
A true collector’s dream, Guerlain elevates holiday gifting with Imagine Guerlain. In collaboration with French sculptor Géraldine Gonzalez, the iconic Bee Bottle is adorned with a golden moon and a star embellished with glass beads—transforming the fragrance into a piece of art.
Guerlain’s holiday makeup is equally enchanting. Dressed in origami-inspired packaging in gold, silver, and white, the collection includes new Rouge G shades—Le Rouge Étoilé (877), a deep garnet red, and Le Nude Songe (306), a soft rosy nude—alongside the Météorites Midnight Glow powders, the shimmering Terracotta Luminizer, an Ombres G eyeshadow quad, and KissKiss Bee Glow Oil in two new pearlescent shades.
GRWM Cosmetics: Face Card Holiday Collection
Local beauty favorite GRWM makes the season unforgettable with its Face Card Holiday Collection. The new 6 Pan Case allows for effortless shade swapping and customization, complete with protective covers and a built-in ejector pin. New additions include the Halo Veil Highlighter in four luminous shades, Face & Body Glow Highlighter, Velvet Matte Eyeshadows, Royal Flush Powder Blushes with a soft-focus finish, and Baked Bronzing Powders with buildable payoff.
To complete the lineup, Lip Maxx introduces holiday-exclusive shimmer shades—a light peach, rose mauve, and a color-shifting hue that reflects blue, pink, and lilac—designed to hydrate while delivering festive shine.
Issy Cosmetics: Glitter Act
Issy Cosmetics leans fully into festive glamour with its Glitter Act collection. Glitter Suspension Sticks arrive in six multidimensional shades, perfect for every celebratory moment. The cult-favorite Fat Gloss also expands with three new shades and two shimmer variants, adding even more sparkle to the season.
Lucky Beauty: Confection Charms
Lucky Beauty captures the warmth and whimsy of a Filipino Christmas with its Confection Charms collection. Inspired by familiar flavors, quiet mornings, and glowing evenings, the lineup feels both nostalgic and festive.
The Lip Sweetener introduces Holiday Cake, a neutral rose shade reminiscent of yema and Christmas treats, while the Lucky Potion fragrance line expands with Gingerbread Rouge—warm and spicy with notes of caramel, nutmeg, ginger, cinnamon, amberwood, and vanilla—and Vanilla Éclat, a comforting blend of lemon, pepper, sage, vanilla, and sandalwood. Together, they reflect both the joy and stillness of the season.
Limited-edition beauty isn’t just about novelty—it’s about storytelling, craftsmanship, and the quiet thrill of owning something fleeting. For the beauty-obsessed, these rare finds become keepsakes: bottles and palettes that hold memories long after the holidays fade.
