The holidays are the perfect time to splurge, whether shopping for those on your gift, or yourself. From an aesthetic travel experience and high-tech devices to everything any beauty buff would want in one box, these are the beauty gifts to get if you have a sky-high budget or no spending restrictions at all.
Net-A-Porter’s The Ultimate Beauty Experience
If you have an extra $9,000 lying around, and you’re itching for a trip to NYC that will have you looking your best upon returning home, this travel-based beauty experience covers all the bases. Including a nearly-impossible-to-get Supernova Facial with Joanna Vargas, a mind-and-body session at Aromatherapy Associates, a haircut with Rossano Ferretti, a one-on-one makeover with celebrity makeup artist Troy Surratt and lunch at the five-star Mandarin Oriental (because you’ll need the energy after all this pampering), this is a beauty opportunity of a lifetime.
Tata Harper Vanity Case
Featuring six of this farm-to-face beauty brand’s best-selling products packaged in a supple leather case that’s perfect for travel and displaying on your vanity, this decadent set gives its recipient the gift of gorgeous skin. With the Resurfacing Mask, Boosting Contouring Eye Mask, Elixir Vitae Serum, Retinoic Nutrient Face Oil, Hydrating Floral Essence Moisturising Toner and Regenerating Cleanser, this complete regimen is designed to deliver a glowing, ageless complexion naturally.
ZIIP At-Home Facial Device
Harnessing the power of electrical nano currents and microcurrents to stimulate the skin’s natural production of youth-imparting collagen and elastin (as well as reduce acne, boost circulation and accelerate wound healing), this space-age device energizes your skin cells so they can do their job properly. With settings for a variety of problem-specific treatments that syncs with your smartphone and makes it easy to access video tutorials, you can also amp up your results with the Gold and Silver conductive gels (which double as intensive post-treatment masks).
Dyson Airwrap
Officially the most sought-after beauty tool this holiday season, this groundbreaking hair-styler lets you dry, wave, curl and smooth your strands without incurring heat damage. It even does most of the work for you thanks to high-tech aerodynamics that actually attract the hair to the barrel or brush (depending on your desired style)—and you’ll be sold on this splurge as soon as you see it in action.

La Bouche Rouge Lipstick Set
Although $160 may seem more like a “save” than a splurge, it’s definitely the latter when you consider we’re talking about a lipstick. But this isn’t about the actual bullet of all-natural, satin-finish lip color… It’s about the luxe refillable leather case that can be replenished for $37)—and it’s also available in 14 tinted balm shades for the lady who’s not into a full-on lip look.
