14 Gifts Cool People in the Beauty Industry Are Secretly Hoping for This Year

"I have my eye on this Droplette misting skincare device. I test everything that goes into my makeup kit, and I love the concept of creating deeply hydrated skin before application. I'm also curious about the glycolic capsules to help with my maskne." — Vincent

"I think the Westman Atelier Lip Suede is such a genius product! It's clean, sustainable, and replaces four products in my makeup bag. It's versatile and can help customize the perfect red for any event. Five stars and a definite line item on my holiday list!" — Koestline

"I probably have a more intense routine for my hands than I have for my face. This set is so luxurious and something I actually need in my kit, as I have to constantly sanitize my hands and keep them moisturized." — Boyce

"A random gift I'd like to have for the holidays is Patchouli 24 from Le labo. I go through waves being into certain scents at different times of the year. This scent has been on my mind lately for some reason I can't explain. Perhaps the cold English weather makes me want to wear something earthy woodsy and warm." — Nguyen

"The lights on this mirror are amazing, super bright, and long-lasting because they are LED. Also, it comes with Bluetooth, so I can play all my fave songs while I am in the zone doing my makeup!" — Ikpeme

"Though I'm typically the type of girl to rotate a few signature scents (warm roses, always), I have forever wanted to add the classic Chanel No. 5 to my fragrance wardrobe. The limited-edition bottle for the perfume's 100th anniversary is a stunning nod to the history behind the fragrance and the house of Chanel itself. This is at the top of my list." — Cadwell

"There is nothing more luxurious than a signature scent for your sheets by Frédéric Malle. I have been lusting after this from the moment I learned of it±—a rose-scented linen spray, created in collaboration with Bruno Jovanovic, which transforms your bed into a dreamy and inviting sanctuary. Never underestimate the power of scent for a good night's sleep… or other." — Cadwell

"I would love to get the new Vyrao I Am Verdant fragrance as a gift. It's not too sweet, not too woodsy, and just the perfect scent. It seems to work well on everyone who tries it, and it is just the most beautiful bottle." — Richards

"I have adored their products for many years and I am dying to try their new hair products. Everything they make is a home-run." —Goldstein

"It’s feminine and fresh, and the packing is great for travel. Wonderful stocking stuffer!" —Goldstein

"I was somehow late to the Costa Brazil party, but now that I am at the party, I am… a little bit obsessed. At the center of my fixation is the Vela Jungle Candle. It is everything. It burns for 60 hours (so two and a half days straight, if you were on a Vela bender), and I am nervously rationing mine like the precious thing it is, burning it for only a little bit each day—just enough time to fill my living room with sultry wafts of the cypress root/Brazilian vetiver/mysterious Amazonian flora Francisco Costa whipped together for its spicy yet somehow sweet, scent. So, yes, I think I need another." — Brown

"For me, I am very into beauty tech. Droplette was founded by two female MIT-trained Ph.D.s, Madhavi Gavini and Rathi Srinivas. It's a skincare device that turns derm-tested, vegan, and cruelty-free serums (10% collagen, 8% glycolic acid, and 0.15% retinol) into tiny droplets that penetrate the skin 20 times deeper. NASA-backed, female-founded, and beauty tech? Sounds like the perfect holiday gift for me." — Kandalec
