These Are The Best Beauty Sets For 2025

While beauty gift sets might have previously been purchased for holidaying with hand luggage only, these days they’re used for discovering a new brand, trying out new products and the reusable swag. Take the new Sol de Janeiro set as an example; it includes brand’s bestselling perfume mist, body cream and body oil as well as a very handy tote bag. Our buyers are predicting this will sell-out long before the summer ends.

We’ve rounded up some of this year’s best beauty sets, but our list is by no means exhaustive. Trust us when we say, all your favourite brands will have beauty minis, so you don’t have to compromise on your skincare routine when you jet off.

Luxury Skincare Formulas Worth Every Penny According To Our Team

Just like your wardrobe, it’s important to update your skincare routine with each season. When summer calls, the key is usually hardworking, sun-protecting formulas that suit your skin’s needs, but with a ‘less is more’ approach.

For that, premium skincare is perfect – not only does it offer luxurious textures, but with high-end offerings, the results are unrivalled and a little certainly goes a long way. But when a product comes with a three-digit price tag, it needs to work even harder to earn its place in your routine.

Struggling to decide when to splash the cash? From Augustinus Bader to La Mer, we’ve curated a concise edit of which luxury products are absolutely worth the investment.

Stop picking off your gel mani! How to remove Shellac without ruining your nails

When Shellac and gel manicures first revolutionised the nail polish market, those of us on the GH beauty desk couldn’t have been more thrilled.

I live and breathe all things beauty, but the only things I haven’t yet dabbled in are tweakments and fillers.

These moisturising primers hold your base AND hydrate your face
