If there is one time of year when a ridiculously good beauty set is entirely justified, it is Christmas.
Elizabeth Arden has officially unwrapped its 2026 festive collection, with 30 gift sets covering skincare, makeup and fragrance. There are presents for the skincare-obsessed, little luxuries for Secret Santa and, importantly, several options we’d happily buy for ourselves and pretend were intended as gifts.
The star of the collection is undoubtedly the Unwrap Your Beauty Holiday Collection. The 12-piece set is valued at a whopping $626 but retails for $169 with any Elizabeth Arden purchase over $99. Inside are five full-size products plus a lineup of skincare and makeup favourites, including Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules and Water Cream, Eight Hour Lip Protectant and Flawless Start Instant Perfecting Primer.
For those who take their skincare routine seriously, Elizabeth Arden offers plenty of options across its PREVAGE, Ceramide, and Retinol + HPR Ceramide ranges. The $99 Retinol Reset Duo is particularly giftable, pairing a full-size Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules serum with the matching Water Cream and offering $153 worth of product.
Eight Hour fans are also extremely well ...
