      As a beauty team that receives new products every week (I know, we're really lucky!), you might think that our Christmas wishlist couldn't possibly get any longer. However, that's not the case. Being beauty enthusiasts, we've tested nearly every iconic product available, from the top-tier luxury items to beloved budget buys like drugstore mascaras. This experience has sharpened our ability to identify a great beauty product. While we have the privilege of trying many items without cost, nothing compares to the excitement of treating yourself to a beauty gift or adding a reliable favorite to your wishlist that you're eager to restock. With the holiday season approaching, I asked our beauty team to share their Christmas wishlists, and here are the beauty items we hope to find under the tree this December. Trust us, you'll want to include them on your own wishlist.

      Jersey Les Exclusifs de Chanel Eau de Parfum

      "I indulge in luxury fragrances throughout the year, but for me, Christmas isn't complete without a Chanel perfume under the tree," says beauty director Shannon Lawlor. "Spending an hour at the Chanel counter, exploring all the celebrations the brand offers and choosing my scent for the year has become a December ritual. This year, Jersey is at the top of my list—the soft, cotton-like fragrance envelops the skin like the coziest jersey while still featuring that signature Chanel elegance and sparkle," she explains.

      Body Butter

      "For me, the greatest gift is some relaxation and rejuvenation, and my love for scented body products is limitless. I apply body butter daily after my evening bath," says Shannon. "Because of this, I go through it quickly and have tried every formula imaginable. This one is undoubtedly my favorite body moisturizer of all time. It's rich and creamy but melts into the skin effortlessly, just like butter," she shares. "Additionally, the spa-like scent is unmatched. In my view, it's the perfect Christmas gift, and I ask my husband for a refill every year."

      ACQUA DI PARMA

      Colonia Hand Soap

      "I believe the ideal Christmas gift is a small luxury that the recipient wouldn't think to buy for themselves, and this hand soap is exactly that for me," Shannon says. "Acqua di Parma Colonia is one of my all-time favorite fragrances—it's like a citrusy, clean comfort—and this hand soap is a masterpiece. It's not something I'd indulge in for myself, but oh, how thrilled I would be to find it under my Christmas tree," she adds.

      Ambre Large Candle

      "While I'm drawn to festive candles, I'm placing Diptyque's Ambre candle (the large one—I've behaved this year) on my wishlist," says beauty editor Eleanor Vousden. "Although I enjoy a Christmas tree candle, Ambre's warm, resin-like scent will provide a cozy ambiance without being overly festive in January and February, making it a smarter buy. A Diptyque candle enhances any decor, and the larger porcelain holder feels even more special. Once the wax is gone, I'll repurpose it to store my makeup brushes," she reveals.

      MERIT Beauty

      Signature Lip Liner

      "It's well-known that our beauty team adores Merit Beauty, and I'm eyeing their chic Signature Lip Liners as a potential stocking stuffer," Eleanor states. "Its rounded, ball-point tip creates a beautifully diffused line that sculpts the lips without harsh edges. Plus, the sheer pigment makes it essentially foolproof, allowing you to achieve a 'no-makeup' makeup look in seconds," she explains. "I'm particularly interested in Bespoke, a pinkish-brown shade that would pair nicely with a lip gloss or my favorite Violette_FR Bisou Balm for a soft lip look."

      Victoria Beckham Beauty

      Satin Kajal Liner in Cocoa Pavé

      "I'm loyal to my Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Eyeliner in Cocoa, a versatile matte brown, but for the party season, I'm eager to try the new Cocoa Pavé shade and add a hint of shimmer," Eleanor says. "This cool brown eyeliner features subtle flecks of silver pigments, adding a lovely sparkle to the eyes. It's an ideal choice for festive makeup without being too dramatic, and it's one of the best eyeliners I've used, versatile enough to enhance your eyes in countless ways," she adds. "I truly hope to find one under my tree."
