With the festive season in full swing, finding the perfect beauty gift can be a challenge. Rare Beauty, the cosmetics brand founded by Selena Gomez, has emerged as a standout contender with its curated gift sets, particularly the highly praised Selena's Faves collection.
Selena's Faves: The Ultimate Entry Point
For those new to the brand or seeking a flawless present, the Selena's Faves set is widely considered the ideal choice. Priced at £74, this duo brings together two of Rare Beauty's most iconic creations. The first is a 50ml bottle of Rare Eau de Parfum, a soft and comforting scent with top notes of caramel, pistachio, and pink pepper, perfect for daily wear.
The second star product is the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade Hope. This dewy, long-lasting formula gained viral fame for its easy application and radiant finish. For a brighter pop of colour, the shade Lucky is recommended, while a more budget-friendly mini version is available for £29.
Top Alternative Gift Sets for Christmas
Beyond Selena's Faves, several other Rare Beauty sets are proving popular this Christmas. The Soft Pinch Lip & Cheek Trio (£34) combines the liquid blush, a matte bouncy blush, and a tinted lip oil, all in the flattering rosewood shade Worth.
Lash enthusiasts should look to the Lash & Brow Essentials Set, available for just £22 at Space NK. This includes a mini Volumising Mascara, noted for its clump-free lift, and a Brow Harmony Lifting Gel.
For a fragrant treat, the Find Comfort Set from Space NK offers a body cream and mist for under £30. The mist, in particular, has garnered excellent reviews for its impressive staying power.
Why Rare Beauty Stands Out
The appeal of Rare Beauty extends beyond its products. The brand's foundation and concealer ranges are praised for their lightweight, buildable coverage and inclusive shade range. Furthermore, its mission resonates deeply; through the Rare Impact Fund, the brand champions mental health awareness, adding a layer of purpose to every purchase.
In summary, while multiple sets offer great value, Selena's Faves remains the top pick for its perfect combination of a cosy, festive fragrance and the iconic, glow-giving blush. It encapsulates the thoughtful, high-quality gifting that defines the Rare Beauty ethos.
