From SkinCeuticals’s Brightening System to La Mer’s festive Holiday Minis, these gifts will help everyone on your list put their best face forward.

Augustinus Bader

The Winter Recovery Kit

BLUEMERCURY

Beloved by celebrities, dermatologists, and pretty much anyone with an age-defying glow (now you know their secret!), Augustinus Bader has a patented ingredient called TFC8. An acronym for trigger factor complex, the brand’s secret sauce stimulates cellular renewal via peptides for smoother, brighter skin. The hallowed ingredient enriches the face cream, eye cream, serum, and lip balm in this kit, which is designed to help the giftee stay soft and supple all winter long.

Dr. Barbara Sturm

Glow Kit

BLUEMERCURY

Infused with antioxidants and light-reflecting pigments, Dr. Barbara Sturm’s Glow Drops are a go-to radiance booster for celebrities like Hailey Bieber. In the aptly named Glow Kit, the drops are one of eight products—including eye patches, serum, cleanser, and more—aimed at unveiling a more luminous complexion. More charming yet, the collection is stowed in a keepsake, powder-pink clutch.

Holiday Minis

BLUEMERCURY

La Mer’s festive kit harnesses Miracle Broth, the brand’s storied signature ingredient, to keep the skin soft, healthy, and luminous in the coldest of climes. The three-piece collection includes a hydrating emulsion, a rich hand treatment, and the cult-classic Crème de La Mer, which is one of the secrets behind Kendall Jenner’s enviable dewiness.

SkinCeuticals

Brightening Skin System

BLUEMERCURY

A favorite of Vogue editors and dermatologists alike, SkinCeuticals offers targeted treatments that harness top-shelf ingredients to deliver on their promise. In the Brightening Skin System, four products work together to banish dullness and discoloration. The set includes Vogue’s top product for melasma, the Discoloration Defense, and our editors’ favorite mineral sunscreen for the face, Physical Fusion UV Defense SPF 50.

Gifting a beauty tool is like wrapping up a hairstylist’s expert touch, or putting a bow on a face-firming, glow-boosting facial. With tools from celebrity makeup artist Jillian Dempsey and legendary esthetician Joanna Vargas, plus a cult-classic hair styler and a celebrity-approved gua sha tool, Bluemercury is bursting with tools that get the job done.

Joanna Vargas

Magic Glow Wand

BLUEMERCURY

Celebrity esthetician Joanna Vargas is of the belief that no makeup look can truly shine without a base of glowing skin. Her go-to regimen for celebrity clients on the day of big events (à la the Oscars) includes a few sweeps over the face with this de-puffing, redness-reducing wand. She recommends using it after a hydrating mask to push the product into the skin; the massaging tool also helps with lymphatic drainage and boosts circulation.

Dyson

Copper Airwrap Multi-Styler

BLUEMERCURY

It’s tough to think of a hairstyling tool as coveted as Dyson’s classic Airwrap. Harnessing a unique system that uses air, rather than heat, to dry and shape the hair, the tool has multiple attachments that make it possible to create salon-quality coifs—from bouncy curls to mermaid waves and sleek, straight styles—without leaving home.

Jillian Dempsey

Gold Bar

BLUEMERCURY

Makeup artist Jillian Dempsey, who’s worked with Kate Winslet and Jennifer Lawrence, designed this tool as a gold-plated fix for firmer, smoother skin. With a twist of its base, the tool vibrates at 6,000 rotations per minute, kickstarting lymphatic drainage for a sculpted, de-puffed face. Plus, Vogue has it on good authority that a daily face massage leads to the best party skin ever.

Wilding

Empress Stone

BLUEMERCURY

Wilding’s gua sha tool is a staple in Shay Mitchell’s beauty bag. Artisan-crafted from bian stone, the tool was designed to lift, tone, and detoxify the skin. Its edges are carefully crafted for different, de-puffing functions—use the long edge to sweep along the cheeks and neck, the U-shaped edge to contour the cheekbones and brow bones, and the jagged edge to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles on the flat surfaces of the face.

Help your giftee get a head start on the new year with a healthy scalp, celebrity-approved styling products, and hair oil that’s so luxurious, they’ll take great care not to spill a single drop. Browse through Bluemercury’s top haircare gifts from brands like Act+Acre, Oribe, and Sisley Paris below, and prepare for bad hair days to be so last year.

Act+Acre

Advanced Fuller Hair System

BLUEMERCURY

Founded by trichologist and celebrity hairstylist Helen Reavey, Act+Acre has transformed scalps and boosted hair growth with its cold-pressed products. The Advanced Fuller Hair System bundles three of its most potent treatments for thinning hair, including hair capsules, the Stem Cell Serum, and the Scalp Detox. The latter treatment, infused with basil leaf and hydrating oils, is a Vogue editor favorite for an at-home scalp facial.

Oribe

Gold Lust Repair and Restore Ritual Hair Set

BLUEMERCURY

Celebrity hairstylist Kendall Dorsey has described Oribe’s Gold Lust Repair & Restore Shampoo as “the gold standard in sulfate-free shampoo.” The shampoo strengthens damaged hair with a Bio-Restorative Complex infused with biotin, plant collagen, caffeine, and niacinamide. In this set, the shampoo is paired with its corresponding conditioner and hair mask to form a system that will keep tresses healthy and strong all season long.

Sisley Paris

Precious Hair Care Oil

BLUEMERCURY

As it turns out, passion fruit, moringa, shea, and cotton oils form the perfect recipe for shine. Sisley-Paris’s lightweight oil—which melds the aforementioned ingredients—gives the hair a noticeable gleam without weighing it down. All the while, it smooths out frizz and nourishes the strands. The addictive signature scent mixes notes of verbena, amber, peach blossom, and lemon, and contains natural ingredients that restore hair health.

Moroccanoil

Holiday Hydration Hair Set

BLUEMERCURY

Moroccanoil’s four-product set pairs its hydrating shampoo and conditioner with a leave-in conditioner and the brand’s signature oil treatment. Infused with argan oil and linseed extract—plus a sweet and spicy, amber-floral scent—the products hydrate and protect the hair while banishing frizz, which they’ve done on many a famous mane. Moroccanoil products are “absolute must-haves” for celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos, who works with Amal Clooney and Kim Kardashian.

The best makeup gifts bring out creativity—and more beautifully pronounced eyes, lips, and cheeks—in whomever they’re bestowed upon. This holiday season, Bluemercury has the makings of a perfect look for every party. From U Beauty’s lip-contouring compound to a gleam-inducing eye kit from Hourglass and Tom Ford’s versatile eyeshadows, the selection below guarantees months of festive glam.

The Plasma Set

BLUEMERCURY

U Beauty’s lip-plumping compound delivers a mouthful of benefits—from hydration to improved texture and smoothed fine lines. Powered by peptides, ceramides, gentle exfoliants, beeswax, and shea butter, the formulation makes for a pillowy, glossy pout. In this set, it comes in three hues—clear, rose, and fawn—designed to flatter any skin tone.

Hourglass

The Eye Edit

BLUEMERCURY

One of Vogue’s top mascaras of the year, Hourglass’s Unlocked Instant Extensions is also a favorite of Euphoria makeup artist Donni Davy. “It’s a beautiful black shade and defines, lengthens, and separates the lashes,” she previously told Vogue. In this gift-worthy set, the mascara is bundled with waterproof gel liner and a creamy, glittery eyeshadow with a prismatic effect.

Pat McGrath Labs

Mini MatteTrance Lipsticks

BLUEMERCURY

The cult-favorite MatteTrance lipstick—creamy, hydrating, and seen on the lips of celebrities like Saoirse Ronan and Lana Del Rey—comes in three bestselling hues in this festive trio. The coral-rose, blue-red, and peach-sienna lipsticks are housed in miniature tubes, decked with golden lips and perfect for stowing in a special occasion clutch.

Tom Ford

Eye Color Quad Eyeshadow

BLUEMERCURY

Tom Ford's long-wearing eyeshadows are made with a special pigment technology that nourishes the lids with emollients and keeps creasing at bay. Sheer and buildable, the shades in each quad work together to make the eyes pop, and they come in finishes ranging from satin to shimmer, sheer sparkle, and matte. The quad also comes in a slew of hues, ranging from the dark-green-flecked Dark Opulence to the sparkly nudes of Golden Mink.

With just a spritz, a great fragrance can transform any setting or mood. Whether your giftee wants to celebrate the season in a cloud of vanilla—done Victoria Beckham style—or light a candle inspired by Giambattista Valli’s Parisian boutique, Bluemercury’s top fragrance gifts will make this the best-smellling holiday season yet.

Tom Ford

Private Blend Luxe Discovery Set

BLUEMERCURY

Tom Ford’s Private Blend collection offers artisanal perfumes with unusual—and distinctly sexy—combinations of notes. In the limited-edition discovery set, four miniature eau de parfums offer a sampling of bestsellers, ranging from the solar amber floral Soleil Blanc to the fruity amber Lost Cherry and the dark and woody Oud Wood and Tobacco Vanille.

Victoria Beckham

21:50 Reverie Eau de Parfum

BLUEMERCURY

A romantic trip to Java inspired Victoria Beckham to create her latest scent. With notes of vanilla, tobacco leaves, and Tonka beans, the irresistible fragrance is for giftees of any gender. “There are a lot of vanilla fragrances out there, but I wanted ours to smell like it was steeped in nature,” Beckham previously told Vogue. “That note is typically very sweet and feminine. But there is something unexpected about ours, with the grassy notes, that make it very masculine for a vanilla fragrance. That is very much part of my brand DNA, that balance between masculine and feminine.”

Diptyque

Feu de Bois Candle

BLUEMERCURY

This wintery classic smells like a cozy, crackling woodfire. Its notes of juniper, birch, and cade have a smoky quality that channels burning logs, and the sage green candle—wrapped in Diptyque’s signature, black-and-white packaging—looks perfectly chic on any accent table or mantle.

Trudon

Giambattista Valli Candle

BLUEMERCURY

Inspired by Marie Antoinette and her love of roses, Trudon’s candle was created in collaboration with Giambattista Valli to mark the 2010 opening of the designer’s Parisian boutique. With notes of Tuscan black pepper, orange blossom, and rose, the candle comes in a black-and-white vessel handcrafted in Italy.

The countdown to the holidays is notoriously hectic, but the best advent calendars bring a moment of thrill and discovery to the days leading up. Give your giftee a chance to savor the season with Bluemercury’s advent calendars, which hold fragrant, beautifying treasures from some of the world’s most coveted beauty brands. From the 111Skin sheet mask that Priyanka Chopra uses to Diptyque candles to light up the season in style, the gifts inside these calendars could stand alone—even better then, that they’re bundled up.

111Skin

Advent Calendar

BLUEMERCURY

Priyanka Chopra has said the “secret sauce” to her radiant skin is 111Skin’s Rose Gold Brightening Facial sheet mask, which is but one of the gifts included in this set. With 12 total products from the cosmetic-surgeon-founded brand, the calendar also holds the Y Theorem Repair Light Serum (part of Kasey Musgraves’ Met Gala prep), eye cream, a blemish mask, and more.

Diptyque

Advent Calendar

BLUEMERCURY

With the look of a sewing box plucked from Santa’s workshop, Diptyque’s whimsical set shows off the playful side of the beloved French brand. Within its candy-cane and gingerbread-man-studded box, however, the calendar holds 25 candles with Diptyque’s signature, black-and-white design. (A chic mantel accessory if ever there was one.) The scents include seasonal treats like Friandise, which combines notes of gingerbread, cinnamon, candied orange peel, and vanilla, and classics like the berry-scented Baies, which Adele has been known to burn in her dressing room.

Dr. Barbara Sturm

Advent Calendar

BLUEMERCURY

Filled with 24 skin-care gifts from the esteemed German brand, the set has all the makings of a radiant holiday. From a gentle cleanser to targeted serums and the anti-aging Glow Drops that Hailey Bieber and Adwoa Aboah adore, the kit has a salve for every skin concern—including products designed for men and melanin-rich skin.

Molton Brown

Advent Calendar

BLUEMERCURY

With a swirling design from marble artist Natascha Makismovic, Molton Brown’s set holds delightfully fragranced gifts that range from perfumes to body lotions, scented candles, and bubble bath. There are even body washes, dubbed “festive baubles,” that can double as ornaments for the tree. What’s more, the products come in unisex—and universally appealing—scents such as Sunlit Clementine & Vetiver and Marvelous Mandarin & Spice.
