New Beauty Buys: The best beauty holiday collection to celebrate this year’s festive season

First on our list: fragrance. And let’s be honest, PAÑPURI is the perfect brand to elevate your game. Their latest collection, Journey to the Peak, inspired by the majestic mountain ranges of Asia, captures the essence of lush forests, cold winds, and snow. The new line features three distinct fragrances: CEDRUS ASCENT, a rich scent; CLOUDWALKER, a refreshing experience; and AMBARA NECTAR, a delightful blend of sweetness and warmth.

Besides the new launch, PAÑPURI has also unveiled a special ‘Journey to the Peak Advent Calendar,’ packed with 25 best-selling products, including their latest offerings. So, as we countdown to Christmas in true PAÑPURI fashion, the calendar comes beautifully packaged with an original drawing by Terawat Teankaprasith along with perfume oils, candles, handle cream, and much more. Limited to 350 sets.

Now for makeup, CHANEL has released the Holiday Make Up Collection developed by Valentina Lee. Let’s start with the ENCHANTED NIGHT eyeshadow palette. Inspired by the iridescent light of the aurora borealis and the shimmery frosty snowflake, this palette contains four new limited-edition colours: fuchsia pink, silver top coat, copper coral, and a burnished purple-brown with blue iridescence hue. There’s also the DIAMOND DUST highlighter for that diamond-like radiance as well as eyeliner and lipstick.

Besides that, CHANEL recently launched four new colours of ROUGE ALLURE L’EXTRAIT lipsticks in brick tones to purple-brown. Meanwhile, ROUGE ALLURE LAQUE gains an addition of pink and red.

Next up for this holiday season is the limited-edition Dior Le 30 Montaigne Advent Calendar. In celebration of the holiday season, Dior has transformed this calendar into a striking piece of art, decorated with a prominent sun pattern and the brand’s initials gleaming in metallic gold.

Inside you’ll find 24 products, from makeup, skincare, and perfume to their new scented candle Bois des Rêves, all helping you to countdown to the magic of Christmas. And of course, when the holiday season is over, this calendar can even be turned into a jewellery box. That is what you call a gift that keeps on giving.

Lastly, a skincare line that is beloved year-round is fresh, which has also released a perfect holiday collection tailored to meet every woman’s individual needs. The collection includes facial sets like the Dewy Hydrated Skin Trio, which nourishes and moisturizes the skin, and a nighttime set called the Resurfacing Radiance Trio, designed to brighten the complexion and reduce wrinkles. For lip care, they offer the Color & Care Lip Trio, a set that ensures lips remain soft, avoiding cracks and flakiness. Additionally, the packaging is adorable, and the products are thoughtfully organized, making them ideal gifts for friends. Another cute idea is to use them as Christmas tree ornaments!
