Gifts! (Pt.2)

Welcome to the next phase of my 2024 Gift Guide, featuring gift ideas under ₱1000! In today's post, the gift suggestions are a mix of makeup and skincare, and yes, they're very cutesy and I'm sure whoever will receive them will be a happy holiday bunny.

Let's start!

    Speaking of cutesy, of course Chu Chu Beauty is here! Their holiday bundles are super cute but I chose the Glam Glaze Kit, a four-piece set that includes their Skinny Brow Pencil, Brow Setter, Color Quartet eyeshadow quad in Peach Haven, and a very cute handheld Chu Chu Beauty mirror. This set is not only very cute, it's also a nice eye collection to gift to anyone. This set is originally priced at ₱1046 but for the holiday sale, it's now only priced at ₱550!

Available in Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

    Next in the list is some lashes! Last year, I included the Paulash set in one of my gift guides but since that set isn't currently available in any of Paulash's shops, I figured I'd give you an alternative that's just as nice but not as pricey. Here I have the Eye-Opening Gift Box from Faboulash! Just like Paulash, Faboulash is also known for their high-quality lashes that are also used a lot by makeup artists and beauty enthusiasts alike. If you know someone who loves wearing strip lashes or uses them for work, then this gift box is perfect for them! For only ₱699, you get 8 pairs of their best-selling lightweight lashes in different styles, all packaged up in a nice box. Honestly, if someone gifted me this, I'd be over the moon!

Available in Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

    Next up is a set from a brand that I've been dying to try: Five Beauty! Ever since they released their Hybrid Colour Sticks, I've heard nothing but good reviews from everyone who have tried them. For this holiday season, their Essentials Holiday Set is the perfect gift to give to anyone who's been dying to try this brand out or to anyone who loves their cheek products! In this set, you get a full-sized Hybrid Colour Stick in the shade of your choice, the perfect partner to the Colour Stick: the All-Around Cheek Brush, and Five Beauty's Ready In Five Pouch in either Rosewater or Eggwhite. Believe me when I tell you that this set is such a steal at ₱749!

Available in Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

    Another holiday release that I think is a really good gift option is Issy's Monochromatic Color Sets! Available in 6 color stories, each boxed set includes a Creme Cheek Blush, a True Matte Lip Bullet, and a Hydragloss, all in full-size! Issy's products are top notch (I especially love their creme blushes!) and this set won't let you down- and your wallet, for only ₱899.

Available in Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

    The next two items are skincare products and are both in the ₱900+ price range. The first set I'll feature was something that was gifted to me by my sister last Christmas and products in this set have been my go-to especially whenever I have breakouts. Because all the products came through for me, I think this needs recognition for being such a nice gift to give someone who is also prone to breakouts and such. I'm talking about The Body Shop's Powerfully Purifying Tea Tree Skincare Gift! Tea Tree, known for its anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties, is the primary ingredient in the products in this set so you best believe this is gonna be your skincare besties during breakout season! In this set, you have the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Face Wash (the best calming facial wash IMO), the Tea Tree Skin Clearing Toner,  and the zit-busting product I swear by, Tea Tree Oil. This amazing boxed set is originally priced at ₱1,195 but for the holidays, you can get it for only ₱956!

Available in Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

    Finishing this list with Banila Co's Starter Kit, a perfect set to try if you're new to the brand. The Starter Kit includes four of Banila Co's best-selling items, namely their Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Balm (the OG cleansing balm!), Clean It Zero Original Cleansing Foam, Dear Hydration Skin Softening Toner, and the Dear Hydration Water Barrier Cream. This products in this set may not be in full-size but I think this will be appreciated by someone who travels a lot as the products are luggage-friendly, plus this set is a cohesive skincare set already, from cleansing to moisturizing. This set is priced at ₱999, one peso shy of our budget range!

Available in Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop.

    And that's it for this gift guide! I love that we have a good mix of makeup and skincare in this list and we'll continue this on our last (I think) list. Next budget range: under ₱2000! (Also, the last list won't make it before the 12.12 sales but it will be up before the 15th!) See ya!
