If I made a thread of really lush but affordable skincare sets for gifts (for yourself or others) would that be helpful? I& #39;ve found some good ones during my personal "research" lol
I like sets/kits because you can test stuff before you buy full-size versions (or in my case, if you can& #39;t afford full-size versions lmao).
Okay first we have the First Aid Beauty Fab Faves To Go Kit! Great for sensitive and/or dry skin. Gentle exfoliation with Radiance Pads (lactic and glycolic acids). The Ultra Repair Cream has heaps of fatty acids and colloidal oatmeal

Fresh Faves Mini Loves set! I have the soy cleanser and it is *chefs kiss*
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😘" title="Kusshand zuwerfendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Kusshand zuwerfendes Gesicht"> great for sensitive skin! I& #39;ve heard amazing things about the Kombucha Essence too

Peter Thomas Roth Jet, Set, Facial Kit! I ADORE the cucumber mask
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😍" title="Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Lächelndes Gesicht mit herzförmigen Augen"> the cleanser is fragrance-free, the peeling gel has lots of enzymes (including bergamot and pineapple) to gently exfoliate, and the moisturiser has hyaluronic acid and ceramides

Laneige has two Hydration-To-Go sets! One for normal to dry skin and one for combination to oily! (only difference is the cleanser). I LOVE Laneige products!!! I wear the lip mask every single night and I never get dry or cracked lips ever. SUPER hydrating

Glow Recipe has heaps of kits (various prices) via their website and from authorised stockists. Their packaging is to DIE for
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts"> You can also make your own kits via their website! (kits not available in NZ currently

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😭" title="Laut schreiendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Laut schreiendes Gesicht"> but travel and full-sized products are via Mecca Beauty).
Farmacy "The Mighties" set. This is the most expensive one I& #39;m posting! These products have a cult following esp. the Clean Green balm and Honey Potion mask. The full-sized products are way out of my price range but this set is on my wishlist (currently sold out via Beauty Bay).
Green Clean* oops
Banila Co has some cute gift sets too! I& #39;m a huge fan of their Clean It Zero balm; the texture, the (light) scent, everything! (hard to get sets in NZ but some are available via YesStyle if you& #39;re willing to pay for international shipping).
Which reminds me, YesStyle has heaps of travel and mini size versions of K-Beauty products (most less than $10NZD). Depending on how much you spend, international shipping costs are btw $16 and $25 to NZ (free if you spend $180+).
So if you do your research you can put together your own little skincare gift sets (for birthdays etc.) while spending very little! Or if you want to try products before buying the full-sized versions!
Guess what my friends and family are getting for Xmas lol
