      As a beauty team that receives new products weekly (I know, we're very fortunate!), you might think our Christmas wishlist would already be complete. However, that's far from accurate. As beauty enthusiasts, we've sampled nearly every renowned product available, from top-tier luxury items to affordable drugstore gems. Thus, we can easily identify a quality beauty product when we encounter one. Of course, it's essential to recognize that we often have the opportunity to try many new launches for free. Yet, honestly, nothing compares to the excitement of treating yourself to a beauty gift, or adding a beloved favorite to your wishlist that you're eagerly anticipating a PR refill for. With the holiday season approaching, I asked our beauty team to share their Christmas beauty wishlists, and here are the products we're hoping to find under the tree this December, ready to be unwrapped with joy. Trust us, you'll want to include them in your own wishlist as well.

      Jersey Les Exclusifs de Chanel Eau de Parfum

      "I indulge in luxury fragrances throughout the year, but for me, Christmas wouldn't feel complete without a Chanel perfume under the tree," states beauty director Shannon Lawlor. "Spending an hour at the Chanel counter, exploring all the festive offerings and choosing my scent of the year has become a cherished December tradition for me. This year, Jersey is my top choice—the gentle, cotton-like fragrance envelops the skin like the softest jersey while still embodying that signature Chanel elegance and sparkle," she remarks.

      Body Butter

      "For me, the best gift is some R+R, and I have an immense love for scented body products. I apply body butter on my skin every evening after my bath," shares Shannon. "Because of this, I use body butter at a rapid pace and have truly tried every formula possible. This one is, without a doubt, my favorite moisturizer ever. It is rich and creamy yet melts into the skin beautifully," she explains. "And the scent is like a spa experience in a jar. In my opinion, this is the ultimate Christmas present, and each year, I ask my husband to restock it for me."

      **ACQUA DI PARMA**

      Colonia Hand Soap

      "To me, the ideal Christmas gift is a little luxury that the recipient might not buy for themselves, and this hand soap fits that description perfectly," says Shannon. "Acqua di Parma Colonia is one of my favorite scents—it's a citrusy, fresh delight—and this hand soap is truly a masterpiece. It's not something I'd ever splurge on for myself, but I would absolutely be thrilled to find it under my Christmas tree," she adds.

      Ambre Large Candle

      "While I'm tempted by a festive candle, I'm adding Diptyque's Ambre candle (the large size—I’ve been good this year) to my wishlist," says beauty editor Eleanor Vousden. "Although I adore a Christmas tree candle, Ambre's warm, resinous fragrance will create a cozy atmosphere without feeling too seasonal as January and February roll in, making it a smarter investment. A Diptyque candle can elevate any room, but the larger porcelain container feels even more special, and I plan to reuse it as storage for my makeup brushes once the candle has burned down," she explains.

      **MERIT Beauty**

      Signature Lip Liner

      "Our beauty team loves Merit Beauty, and I'm eyeing their exceptionally stylish Signature Lip Liners as a potential stocking stuffer," states Eleanor. "With its rounded, ball-point pen-style tip, it creates a softly diffused line that shapes the lips gracefully without harsh edges. Plus, because the pigmentation is sheer, it's almost foolproof and allows for a quick 'no-makeup' makeup look," she shares. "I'm particularly interested in the shade Bespoke, a pinky-brown that will pair beautifully with a lip gloss or my favorite Violette_FR Bisou Balm for a blurred effect."

      **Victoria Beckham Beauty**

      Satin Kajal Liner in Cocoa Pavé

      "I'm committed to my Victoria Beckham Beauty Satin Kajal Eyeliner in Cocoa—a versatile matte brown. But for the festive season, I'm excited to upgrade to the new Cocoa Pavé shade and try out some shimmer," says Eleanor. "This cool brown eyeliner features subtle silver flecks that add a delicate sparkle to the eyes. It's the perfect touch for party makeup without being over the top, and these are truly some of the best eyeliners I've ever tried and can be used in various ways to enhance your eyes," she explains. "They're undeniably among Victoria Beckham Beauty's standout products, so
