This holiday season, Clé de Peau Beauté makes gifting effortless with the limited-edition Dreams Express Collection. Popular skincare and makeup are reimagined in ethereal, art-inspired packaging, turning each product into a story and a ready-to-give treasure
For its 2025 holiday collection, the luxury brand collaborated with celebrated French illustrator Stéphane Kiehl, whose delicate, whimsical artwork brings the Dreams Express to life. His illustrations envelop the products in a dreamlike world, combining sophistication with fantasy to evoke wonder, elegance, and the spirit of the season.
The collection follows a heroine who, plagued by self-doubt, is whisked away one December night aboard the magical Dreams Express. Guided by seven symbolic creatures, she rediscovers the inner strength and radiance that have always been within her. Each totem animal inspires the collection’s pieces: the 110 Radiant Peafowl Luminizing Face Enhancer captures the peacock’s shimmering feathers, illuminating the skin with a soft, radiant pink; the 527 Ruby’s Spark lipstick echoes the bold elegance of a ladybug’s ruby shell; and the 504 Pastel Tea Safari Eye Color Quad evokes a whimsical tea party between a leopard and an antelope, with shades of pink, lavender, golden beige, and walnut brown.
The heroine’s journey is mirrored in Clé de Peau Beauté’s skincare. The Serum, a first-step treatment that enhances smoothness, plumpness, and radiance, reflects the awakening of her inner strength. La Crème, an intensive nighttime cream that restores vitality and firmness, embodies the sense of rejuvenation and empowerment that comes with self-discovery. Together, they form the foundation of a ritual that is as transformative as the story itself.
Kiehl’s illustrations extend across every detail, dressing the limited-edition packaging in elegant, dreamlike motifs. The result is a collection that feels as precious as it is practical—luxury gifts that are display-worthy and effortless to present.
