Good to glow: Your Christmas 2025 radiance gift guide
Glow is the word this Christmas. That effortless, radiant finish that makes you look like you’ve just stepped off a red carpet or returned from a winter sun escape. Whether your vibe is golden goddess, fresh-faced radiance, or polished perfection, these festive favourites are guaranteed to deliver your most luminous season yet.
The Bellamianta Bow-Tied Glow Set (€34.99, worth €59.99) is the ultimate tanning edit for anyone who loves that signature, golden Bellamianta finish. Choose between the brand’s cult-favourite Tanning Mousse or Liquid Gold Tanning Liquid — both known for their flawless, streak-free results and long-lasting wear. Add instant warmth with the silky Bronzing Powder and finish with the brand’s reusable Luxury Tanning Mitt. Think rich, sun-kissed skin that glows long after the party lights fade — vegan, cruelty-free, and completely indulgent.
For a complete glow wardrobe, AYU’s Glow Edit Set (€40) takes care of every step. From preparation to perfection, this thoughtful collection includes the Prep and Prolong Body Lotion, Self-Tanning Mousse or Liquid, Tan Remover, AYUGlo Mitt, and Headband. It’s the professional finish of a salon tan, recreated effortlessly at home. Whether you’re topping up for a night out or starting from scratch, AYU’s tanning ritual is easy, effective, and utterly luxurious.
If your idea of glow leans more towards radiant skin than bronzed limbs, the Declaré Glow Ritual Set (€58, worth €70) brings a little European skincare sophistication to your bathroom shelf. Declaré’s Cleansing Milk and Tonifying Lotion — both full-sized at 400ml — are gentle, balancing, and ideal for all skin types, particularly sensitive ones. The addition of a plush Luxury Cleansing Pad completes this beautiful trio, melting away makeup and restoring calm to the skin. It’s the perfect ritual for anyone who wants their complexion to glow with health rather than highlighter.
Makeup lovers will adore the et al. Gloss Balm (€32.50), a hybrid that delivers the shine of a gloss with the comfort of a balm. Enriched with skincare actives and tri-peptide technology, it helps to boost collagen and hydration while giving a soft wash of colour. Available in Blush (soft pink), Mulberry (a flattering cherry tint), and Latte (a chic toffee nude), it’s as nourishing as it is flattering — the perfect finishing touch for mistletoe moments.
To sculpt and define, et al.’s Line + Define Lip Liner (€27.50) pairs skincare ingredients with high-impact colour for lips that look fuller, smoother, and effortlessly polished. The creamy texture glides on without tugging, making it ideal for everyday wear. Shades like Buff, Chai, and Fawn suit every mood and skin tone, creating the ultimate lip wardrobe.
Eyes aren’t forgotten either. The et al. Line + Define Eyeliner (€27.50) is a makeup artist favourite for a reason. With a smooth, gel-like glide and rich pigment payoff, it’s now available in festive shades Copper, Moss, and Claret — the perfect twist for party-season glam. Pair it with the Define + Blend Brush (€25), a dual-ended tool designed to bring precision and polish to any eyeshadow look.
This Christmas, it’s all about radiance with intent — not just glow that sits on the surface, but formulas that treat your skin and enhance your confidence. From Bellamianta’s golden bronze to Declaré’s soothing luminosity and et al.’s modern makeup mastery, these gifts promise to leave you glowing long after the decorations come down.
