1. Give the gift of a shorter routine.
It doesn’t take too long for you to feel the pinch of losing an hour of your day once Daylight Savings Time is over. Products that make it easier to get ready are essential. The L’Oreal Paris True Match Hyaluronic Serum is a make-up-skin care combination. It provides lightweight, natural coverage similar to a tinted moisturizer but with added hydration.
Apply it after applying hyaluronic acid serum. Add makeup if needed, and you’re ready to go.
2. Give the gift of decency.
The thought is what matters, but the gift doesn’t have to be boring. The L’Oreal Paris Les Nus By Colour Riche Intense Nude Lipstick (9.99 USD) is the perfect gift for someone who likes to feel glamorous even while applying makeup. The creamy formula glides on smoothly and is easy to apply due to the bullet-shaped packaging.
Its luxe packaging is a match for the luxe color. This makes it stand out from other lipsticks. All 12 shades are available for gifting to give the ultimate holiday beauty treat.
3. Give the gift of self-care and healthy hair.
It doesn’t take much to create a self-care time at home. It is all about taking the time to be present and relax. Gift your giftee healthy hair with the L’Oreal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Bond Repair Shampoo with Citric Acid ($8.99) or the L’Oreal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Bond Repair Conditioner With Citric Acid ($8.99).
Citric acid is used in this reparative system to penetrate the hair cortex to restore weak links and strengthen hair. This healthy hair duo can treat all types of hair damage, including those caused by heat styling, constant coloring, or bleaching. This shampoo and conditioner can restore hair in one treatment.
4. Give the gift of drama.
We are all familiar with holiday drama. From intense political discussions at the dinner table to a Secret Santa between friends that went wrong, it is something we try to avoid. Drama is the norm when it comes to holiday makeup, and you’ll always have someone who supports it.
Treat them to the L’Oreal Paris Telescopic Intimate Lift Mascara, 36HR Wear (14.99). This mascara instantly increases volume and lengthens your lashes. Double-hook bristle brush with innovative double-hook design separates and lifts each lash, allowing for superior application without clumping.
5. Give the gift of a year-round glow.
Give the gift of a sunless tanning treatment with the Sublime Self Tanning Facial Water Mist, Vitamin E, to the person in your life who wants to appear as if they have been on a tropical vacation.
To get a natural, fake-bronze glow, all they need to do is rub a cotton pad with the tanning oil over their skin. If they desire a darker complexion, they can build up their tan. Your skin-care-crazy friends will love the hydrating, Vitamin E, and coconut oil formulations that won’t clog pores.
6. Give the gift of silky, shiny hair.
Each season can have its own ways of affecting our hair, but the holidays are when we indulge in more heat styling or manipulating with products. The L’Oreal Paris Elvive Heat Slayer Pre–Iron Spray is the perfect gift for healthy, soft strands. It costs $7.99.
The L’Oreal Paris Elvive 8th Wonder Water Lamellar Shampoo is also available in a jar ($10.99).

This helps reduce breakage, seal split ends, and nourish long hair. Wrap both bundles in a bow and gift this healthy hair duo.
7. Give the gift of a coin saved — and a salon trip, too.
No matter what season, vibrant, beautiful hair color is always in fashion. Give your loved one the gift of vibrant, post-salon color with the Le Color Gloss One-Step In-Shower Toning Gloss (14.99). The luxurious coconut oil-infused formula of this at-home glossing treatment is designed to deeply condition hair and correct brassy tones. It also boosts shine. It can be used in the shower in just five minutes, with no need to visit a salon afterward.
8. Give the gift of glamour.
For the holidays, a vibrant matte lipstick in a festive shade of red or cranberry is a great choice. The L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Intense Matte Lipstick is a matte lipstick that lasts through four courses of holiday meals or under the mistletoe.
The bullet applicator is slim and precise, allowing for precise application every single time. The formula contains hyaluronic acids, which makes it transfer-proof. However, the hydrating lip slip that doesn’t feel dry or flat is an instant favorite.
9. Send the gift of a holiday bouquet!
The L’Oreal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Weightless Blow Dry Primer and Heat Protectant (£12.99) gives the gift of perfect holiday locks. This nourishing cream offers up to 450-degree heat protection and 48-hour frizz control. This heat protector will keep your hair silky smooth, shiny, and healthy as you attend holiday parties and family gatherings.
10. Give Radiant Skin a Gift
It is a priceless gift. Glowing skin with a radiant glow is priceless. The L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Intensives 5 Glycolic Acid Peeling Toner is a great gift for family and friends. It costs $19.99. This toner contains pure glycolic acid (an alpha-hydroxy acid), which exfoliates the skin by dissolving dead skin cells.
The toner softens the skin to reveal brighter, softer skin. It also prepares the skin for the serum that will follow it. It’s tempting to grab one for yourself.
