Last-Minute Gifting: Beauty Gifts for Every Budget

A beauty gift guide for the last minute buyer (on every kind of budget!)

A specific kind of panic sets in the week before Christmas Eve––for folks with families that require presents to be stacked under a tinsel-festooned tree, especially. Let’s face it: not all of us are naturally gifters, and for the ones who aren’t tend to be the same people who push gift shopping to the very last minute (trust me, I speak from experience). Now that we’re just one day away from Christmas Eve… it’s safe to say that panic has multiplied at least a hundredfold.

If you happen to have a beauty aficionado still left on your gifting list, consider your Christmas saved. Ahead, we’ve culled a last-minute beauty gift guide for every budget:

Glaze Hand Sanitizer from By KD

Meet the perfect present for friends, office mates or those exchange gift ordeals that we know all too well. Local brand By KD’s scented hand sanitizers cost only P100 a pop, disinfect surfaces and keep bacteria at bay. Oh, did we mention they’re cruelty-free, too?

Last-Minute Gifting: Beauty Gifts for Every Budget

The scented sanitizers come in three scents: Hush, Wake and Glaze. Score yours online via Beauty MNL!

Keratin Reborn Spray from Siren Hair PH

Gifting hair products can be a struggle, what with different hair types, textures and treatment histories. Thankfully, we’ve come across an elixir that works all across the board. While keratin salon treatments are relatively hit-or-miss in the beauty realm due to the high levels of formaldehyde involved, Siren Hair PH’s Keratin Reborn Spray (P380) delivers smooth, frizz-free texture without the threat of fumes. A few quick spritzes post-shower and a quick comb through, and you’re good to go.

Beauty Blends 5D by One Earth Organics

Solidifying a skincare routine is tricky business––just ask anyone who’s been through hell playing product trial and error. Take serums, for example: with so many formulations, functions and brands on the market, how exactly do you find the one serum that nails all your skin concerns?

Last-Minute Gifting: Beauty Gifts for Every Budget

Perhaps the answer isn’t about finding just one. If you’re set on helping your giftee fix a target on their skin issues, consider local brand One Earth Organics’ new Beauty Blends 5D. An assemblage of five serums––Radiance for brightening, Eternal for anti-aging, Clarity for acne-busting, Renascence for plumping and peeling and Purity for hydration––Beauty Blends 5D serums can be used alone or in various combinations to address specific skin needs. The solo serums retail for P429, while the full set goes for P1895.
