Dior Beauty La Malles des Rêves Advent Calendar

Gifting beauty products can be tricky, as everyone’s skin type and personal preferences vary, ergo, beauty advent calendars are the way to go. With the reissue of Dior’s Malle des Rêves, the recipient can look forward to 24 treasures, from perfumes and hair mists from La Collection Privée Christian Dior Paris to a curated selection of lipsticks and skincare. These indulgent items are tucked away in the delicate drawers of a luxurious hand-crafted box shaped like Dior’s iconic 30 Avenue Montaigne address. As a special bonus, the calendar also includes a black and beige silk-twill Mitzah, the first couture accessory ever to be featured in the Malle des Rêves.

From the Elisabethan Rose EDP and Halfeti Body Lotion to Quercus Mini Soap and Maduro Leaf Candle, these fragrant opuses bring a joy that’s as comforting as a freshly baked festive cookie.

Browhaus’s Brow Resurrection Blend (BR Blend)

Eyebrow grooming remains an evergreen trend, with new technologies continually emerging that beauty enthusiasts eagerly embrace. One such innovation, the Brow Resurrection Blend, makes the perfect gift for those who love staying ahead of the beauty curve. It revolutionises traditional eyebrow embroidery, offering fuller, yet natural-looking brows that last 12 to 18 months—rendering eyebrow pencils a thing of the past. This cutting-edge procedure ensures pigments are deposited at the optimal depth in the skin, minimising the risk of migration or colour distortion, so they won’t have to worry about green or red brows post-recovery. Plus, the chemically stable pigments are designed to retain their true hue, avoiding unwanted colour shifts over time.
