Bear with me… I know it’s October and it barely even feels like fall outside, but the holidays are going to be here before you know it! This week, the Beautycounter Holiday Collection dropped and there are so many great sets this year!

If you’re not familiar with Beautycounter, it’s a clean beauty brand that advocates for safer products for everyone. The company is a b-Corp {which I love} and is extremely intentional on every aspect of the business. From formulating without over 1,500 potentially harmful ingredients, switching to glass for better recycled materials, and educating consumers by providing transparency – it’s a brand you can feel good about using and supporting.

This year, the holiday collection has so many wonderful offerings, but my favorite thing about them is how giftable they are! In this collection, there are 16 limited edition sets, 21 new shades, 6 new products – so something for everyone.  Even better, 11 sets are under $50! Just to note, more are arriving next month.  The packaging is great to give these sets as is, or to mix, match and personalize.

In this post, I’m going to share my favorites from the collection plus a few gift ideas to get your holiday shopping done by December 1.

Bright Eyes Treatment Set

This sets includes two amazing products: a full size of the Countertime Ultra Renewal Eye Cream and limited edition Under Eye Patches.  These patches were a favorite from last year’s collection.  I know there is a lotta love for these and hope they become part of the everyday offering!

The Jellies

I really hope this set doesn’t sell out too soon.  These lip glosses are just too cute.  I’m probably dating myself here, but when I first heard about these, I immediately said: Juicy Tubes.  I was so excited that’s exactly what they are! But cleaner!  These are sweetened with stevia and the flavors are Raspberry, Butterscotch, Orange Cream, Peppermint, and Sorbet. The set is $39 for the five.  I’ll show you how to personalize this set towards the end of the post.

Counter + Skincare Favorites

Consider this a Beautycounter sampler set.  This makes a great gift but also a nice way to introduce yourself to a few best sellers.  This set includes the Overnight Resurfacing Peel, the Brightening Facial Oil, the Balancing Facial Mask, and a Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm Stick.  The last one is actually new packaging of the cleansing balm but in a transportable form.  Perfect for all that holiday travel.

Starlight Eye Shadow Palette

How pretty is this limited edition eye shadow palette?! It’s so simple and neutral that you can wear as your everyday eye shadow, but those fun sparkles can really add some wow to your holiday looks.  This palette is $36 and makes a perfect girlfriend gift.

Lemongrass Body Set

This is the perfect self care set and makes a great mom gift! This duo smells heavenly and just what she needs for those cold winter days.

Counterman Carry On Set

Of course we can’t forget the guys!! The Counterman carry on set includes the Charcoal Body Wash, Shampoo, Face Lotion and Exfoliating Cleanser.  Grab this for your dad, husband, partner, boyfriend, brother for only $49.

Pout Perfect Lip Care Set

I’m so excited for this limited edition lip set.  I’m a big fan of the Beautycounter lip conditioner, but always wanted a stick version.  Well, here it is!  Also, a lip polish is a winter essential for me and glad to see a Beautycounter option.  The last piece of this kit is a clean gloss that helps keeps lips conditioned and can be worn over lipstick.

Fresh Face Trio

If you have or know a young girl who loves makeup, this is the starter set she needs.  This simple set includes a lengthening mascara, a clear brow gel, and a limited edition jellie.  Just a little something to make her feel special.  At $45, it makes a fun stocking stuffer.

Hand Cream Trio

One of my favorites from last year, now updated with new scents: Mandarin Violet, Fresh Petal, and Soft Neroli.  I love this set as a gift for hostesses, visiting guests, babysitters, teachers, pilates instructors, and more.

Mini Facial Oils

I love these oils! Actually, this set was one of the most purchased products from me last year. These oils are perfect for travel and a fun way to sample the three different versions.

Body Butter Trio

If you haven’t tried the body butter, you are seriously missing out. It’s so rich and creamy. This set brings news scents to this winter must have. It’s my moms favorite so she’ll be getting one in her stocking this year. Gift the entire set to someone or break it up and have three gifts! This set is $49.

More gift ideas...

Like I said, these gifts are great on their own, but you can also personalize them and lower the price point per recipient. Here are a few ideas…

• Mini Oil + Jellie
• Jellie + Hand Cream
• Hand Cream + Mini Oil
• Body Butter + Jellie
• Mini Oil + Body Butter

The body butters, oils, and hand creams come in a set of threes making them easy to mix and match.  They make great gift options under $30 for clients, admins, teachers, friends, hostess gifts, co-workers, babysitters, office parties and more!

A few ideas to create your gifts:

• Add a mini votive candle. You can get a set of 6 Nest mini candles from Amazon or Bloomingdales. I also like this mini Voluspa candle set.
• You can get sets of small bags and fill with tissue paper. I love the bundles from Target. But also the dollar spot has options like this bag and these bags.
• The clear travel bags I used are from Amazon and you can find them here.
• You can’t go wrong with wine! Tie a hand cream around a bottle with some ribbon for an easy gift.

I hope the Beautycounter holiday collection gets your holiday shopping off to a good start! Let me know if you have any questions or want more gift ideas.  If you’re ready to kick off your holiday shopping, check out my gift guides HERE.
