Whenever someone asks me what the best beauty Christmas gift is, my answer is always the same: a Beauty Pie subscription. For just £59 a year, you can gift your nearest and dearest (or, frankly, yourself) access to some of the most luxurious products in the game for just a fraction of their RRP. With many years of testing and trialling the best beauty products in existence under my belt, I can assure you that Beauty Pie gifts are some of the industry's most coveted.
Essentially, Beauty Pie provides direct-to-consumer beauty products. The brand saves money on fancy marketing and costly retail distribution and instead ships luxury beauty products straight to your door. And this year, I was somewhat flabbergasted to hear that Beauty Pie is offering a 60-day free trial—meaning you can shop for the best Beauty Pie gifts without having to pay a penny for membership.
It's needless to say then, that when it comes to shopping for fussy beauty lovers at Christmas, Beauty Pie products offer some of the best value for money—it's efficacious, luxury beauty products for a fraction of their RRP. This year, you can gift your loved ones super-luxurious beauty products without having to fork out a fortune and without having to actually pay for the membership for 60 days.
From luxury candles and perfumes to hydrating skincare, fool-proof make-up and sumptuous body care, Beauty Pie really does have all of your Christmas beauty gifting needs covered. And while there are heaps of fabulous products to choose from, the one thing top of my wish list this year is The Deluxe kit. The kit includes nine of Beauty Pie's most cult products (including my go-to Triple Hyaluronic Acid Serum and the beauty world's favourite Super Healthy Skin body cream), plus a free annual Beauty Pie subscription, all housed in a rather chic tote bag. If your budget doesn't stretch that far, take a look at The Starter kit, which, for just £29, includes four cult products, plus a free three-month Beauty Pie subscription.
If you're not sure where to start, here are some of the other Beauty Pie products I'm already stocking up on for Christmas gifting season.

When Marie Claire UK's Senior Beauty Editor, Katie Thomas, tried out these eyeshadows last week, she was blown away. "These are so nice," she called out to me as she swiped them over her lids. She was so impressed, in fact, that she popped them straight into her everyday make-up bag. I'm sold.

If you didn't already know, experts say that sleeping on a silk pillowcase is one of the best things you can do for both your skin and hair. It avoids abrasion that can lead to hair snapping and dry skin. This particular pillowcase is made with super-soft (and luxurious) mulberry silk.

Is this an absolute must-have beauty product? No. However, it is one of my most used tools. If, like me, you're prone to waking up with puffy, tired-looking eyes, popping on this depuffing eye mask is the ultimate antidote. For supercharged results, pop it in the fridge before using.

If you're after expensive-smelling perfumes that don't cost an arm and a leg, Beauty Pie is the place to go. Vanille Nue is warm, deep and totally comforting. It's the vanilla perfume for those who don't like sickly-sweet gourmands and instead want something a little more luxurious.
