I’m back with another Cult Beauty Edit and this time it's in the form of a fabulously festive beauty Christmas gift guide. Because who doesn’t love a new addition to their makeup bag under the tree? I have compiled this EPIC Edit from one of the best beauty retailers in the biz and after days of fine tuning, I can honestly say the final list is very close to my heart. It showcases brands I have loved forever and products I use consistently – from my fave mascaras to the yummiest candles – and I am certain you (and your gift recipients) will love it as much as I do.
Happy shopping and happy holidays!

I mean COME ON! This is the bargain to end all bargains. A makeup edit that includes some of the best brands out there.From Vieve (yes that is a full size palette), to Laura Mercier, Charlotte Tilbury and Urban Decay.

IT’S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!! The bubble bath to rival all bubble baths is BACK in this gorgeous set. IYKYK, and I’ve been scraping the edge of my last precious pot of this Honey Bath as if it were a tub of Nutella. But not anymore. So yes, i’m obsessed with this set of joy. Oh and the body cream and the fragrance are also divine. The scent of a warm, vanilla-infused hug.

This is arguably the best primer in the game. Yep, I said it! I’m not even a primer kinda girl but I love this one. Not only does it leave your skin glowing, it also ACTUALLY locks in your makeup for longer. And the setting spray is equally as good and was, in fact, one of the first setting sprays to not include alcohol. What a duo.
Normal Price £36
LISACB Price (When you spend £45+) £28.80
This is sensational, I mean look at it! Seven products picked by one of the best buying teams in the beauty biz. This would make an amazing gift. Alternatively, all of these products would be fab stuffed inside Christmas crackers. Much better than one of those floppy fish thingy’s that tell your fortune hey?!
Normal Price £39
LISACB Price (when you spend £45+) £31.20
Everyone needs this beauty in their festive makeup bag. It’s a multi-use product that is now in XL! I swear I manifested this so you’re welcome-lol. Use it as a highlighter, mix it with your foundation or moisturiser for a glowy base or pat it on your lips under a gloss. It really is dreamy.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick
Normal Price £26
LISACB Price (when you spend £45+) £20.80

My obsession with this brand is real. And this candle smells as if you’re walking through the Rose garden at Hampton Court Palace on the perfect summers day. Divine.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm
Normal Price £46
LISACB Price £32.20
I mean this icon HAD to be included. This is one of the products most raided by friends in my beauty room. It removes everything, it smells like a spa and it even comes with a flannel.
NYX Professional Makeup Metallic Glitter (All shades)
Normal Price £7
LISACB price £4.90
It wouldn’t be an LPD edit without some glitter!! And I love this NYX one, it’s a constant in my professional makeup bag. It’s lightweight and fine meaning you can apply it with just a touch of gloss. Shade Beam is a fave as it’s almost holographic.
Normal Price £43

Oh, everyone needs this beauty ready for December. It is Christmas in a candle. You know that nostalgic smell of a real Christmas tree filling your front room? Well this candle does exactly that.
Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray

My all time fave from the NEST collection. The one I always go on about. It’s a smokey rose with a touch of leather. Addictive to say the least.

I bloody love these Pat palettes. Yes, they are spenny, but that’s why I wanted to make sure you could use my discount on my fave one. The Sublime palette suits anyone and everyone.

LISACB Price £17.50
Oh, these are special. They’re the lastest NARS product to hit the block and they are fabulous. Full pigment, long lasting, matte but non-drying and they come in eight shades. Dragon Girl and Indiscreet are stand outs for me.

I love this product for many reasons. Firstly, it’s so easy to use. You literally add a few drops to your moisturiser and wake up in the morning looking like a glowy, tanned babe. There’s a shade for everyone (I use medium FYI), and the brand itself is as fun as me after a few champs!
Murad Retinol Youth Renewal Night Cream
Normal Price £70
LISACB Price £49
This is one of those products that when I stop using it, I miss it immediately. It really does make a difference. Powered by innovative Tri-Active Technology (a fast-acting retinoid, time-released retinoid and a retinol booster) this featherlight cream packs a heavyweight punch when it comes to addressing the common concerns.
Nars Light Reflecting Foundation (All shades)
Normal Price £37.50

This brand has most certainly stolen the sunscreen show this year. It’s fun, fabulous but, most importantly, it works! This baby is a moisturiser, high-level SPF and primer all rolled into one. There’s no white cast here, it’s suitable for all skin tones and types. Remember, you should be wearing SPF all year round people. Not just when the sun it out.
Normal Price £34
LISACB Price £23.80
A blush and highlighter duo with the most stunning ‘just pinched’ shades. Suqqu’s formulations are always stunning. Finely milled pigments that enrich the powder with extra glow. Add a rich amount of moisturising oils to the mix, and the result is a buttery, blendable formula that simply melts into skin for a natural, youth-boosting look.
Normal Price £31
LISACB Price £21.70
The Fresh boutique would always be one of my first stops in the US. I adore their products and this cleanser takes my number one spot from the brand. The pH-balanced gel is infused with soy proteins, which are rich in amino acids that help to maintain a healthy visage, not to mention calming cucumber extract, nourishing borage seed oil and balancing rosewater. It also smells amazing. Bonus.
Normal Price £17
LISACB Price £11.90
I am not usually a primer kinda girl, but this one changed my mind from the moment it launched. Boasting a heavy hit of plant-derived oils, as well as moisturising, soothing and balancing aloe water, cherry blossom, hyaluronic acid, and B vitamins, this hard-worker deeply hydrates skin for a smooth and blissed-out finish. And on top of that, it actually locks your makeup in place for longer. Like really!

It’s always in my kit as it’s the perfect product to prep your skin.
Sunday Riley C.E.O 15% Vitamin C Brighting Serum
Normal Price £70
LISACB Price £49
I LOVE VITAMIN C. I love it even more when it’s in this serum. It’s super-charged with vitamin C to dramatically improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, also working to reduce pore size and tackle visible signs of ageing, including dullness, dehydration and premature lines and wrinkles.
Vieve Modern Bronzer (All Shades)
Normal Price £31
LISACB Price £21.70
I love that this bronzer is a duo of 2 shades. Ideal for shaping and contouring (or simply for adding a healthy flush!) The formulation is gorgeous. It’s finely milled meaning you can blend to perfection. Try it on the eyelids too.
Sol De Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream
Normal price £46
LISACB Price £32.20
Okkkkkk, this HAD to be in my edit. I have loved it forever. THE SMELL GUYS, THE SMELL! It’s just scrumptious. It leaves skin incredibly hydrated and even has a subtle shimmer in the formula. It’s just perfection in a bright yellow pot.

Normal Price £36
LISACB Price £25.20
You know when you use a product for the first time and actually say ‘Wow’? Well that was me with this product by the legend that is Sam Mcknight. It’s a styler with serious benefits, this defining, de-fluffing and de-frizzing balm deeply conditions every strand it touches — think of this as hair care and a styler in one pretty-in-pink bottle.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer (All shades)
Normal Price £25
LISACB Price £17.50
I get sent a lot of concealers, like a lot! But this is the one that is permanently in my professional makeup kit. Its luxurious texture and luminous finish, means this dreamy concealer evens skin out with lightweight, medium-to-high buildable coverage. God it’s good. I wear shade Creme Brulee.
And that’s the end of my glorious gift guide. I hope you love it as much as I do. Enjoy xx
