The 12 best beauty gifts to buy this Christmas, according to Leigh and Kelly from You Beauty.

Need a gift for a beauty lover this festive season?

With so many different brands, lotions and potions, it can feel a little (aka massively) overwhelming to know what to pick for a present. Luckily, we have some beauty experts on hand to give us the rundown. 

Mamamia's executive editor Leigh Campbell and her You Beauty co-host Kelly McCarren broke down the best beauty buys by price this week on You Beauty – ranging from under $20, under $50, under $100 and (for all you splurgers) under $200.

Watch an episode of You Beauty Q&A. Post continues below.

Here are all of Leigh and Kelly's top pressie picks.

Gifts under $20.

Charlotte Tilbury Multi-Miracle Glow, $20.

"It's a creamy balm, which is fabulous. Say you need a stocking stuffer or a Kris Kringle for work, this is great. It's also really good to chuck in your bag for New Year's parties, as it's a multi-purpose product that you can use as a cleanser, balm or mask." - Leigh Campbell.

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Eau de Toilette 100ml, $14.99 (on sale at the moment, the usual retail price is $19.95).

"I had to say this one! If someone doesn't even like this scent, they will definitely use it as a room fragrance as well. But honestly, everyone likes it – it's such an easy, fail-safe gift. It's inoffensive and easy." - Kelly McCarren.

BURTS BEES Naturally Tinted Lip Balm in Hibiscus, $12.99.

"This is a great stocking stuffer. It gives great colour but not too much, and it's also super moisturising. Plus, Burt's Bees is just an iconic staple." - Mamamia's beauty and lifestyle team.

Gifts under $50.

SEPHORA COLLECTION, Wishing You 16 Eyeshadow Palette (Holiday Limited Edition), $39.

"Both myself (Leigh) and Kelly would enjoy this palette, with its 16 colours to choose from. There are lots of shimmery champagne tones, a few browns and a pop of blue, lilac and peach. It's neutral, but a fun neutral at that! I love everything that SEPHORA COLLECTION does." - Leigh Campbell.

L'OCCITANE Almond Shower Oil, $39.

"There's a good reason why one of these almond shower oils is sold every 15 seconds worldwide. And for those who have tried it, they know exactly why." - Kelly McCarren.

Limited Edition Go-To Glowy Face set, $26.

"Go-To is just a dream. For those who aren't massively into beauty, this is the perfect gift for them – a juicy, hydration-packed face mask and a nourishing lip product with sweet almond oil, beeswax and lanolin oil." - Mamamia's beauty and lifestyle team.

Gifts under $100.

NO7 Protect & Perfect Intense Advanced Collection 5 Piece, $99.

"It's a five-piece set which is great. This would be perfect for your mother-in-law, it's easy to get at Priceline, and it looks very fancy without putting in too much effort." - Leigh Campbell.

Astromantique Body Elixir, $69.95.

"They do a beautiful body oil which is such a good gift idea – and it's an Australian startup so that's a win!" - Kelly McCarren.

Charlotte Tilbury Walk of No Shame On The Go Kit Limited Edition Kit, $80.

"I love this kit! Once again, people get so excited when they see Charlotte Tilbury because the packaging is beautiful and they know it's going to be good. It's got an eye shimmer, an eye-liner, a lipstick, a lip liner and more – it's such a good gift idea." - Kelly McCarren.

Gifts Under $200.

Yves Saint Laurent Libre Eau De Parfum, $192.

"It's a lavender fragrance, so it's a floral based scent. It's mature, sexy, there's also Moroccan orange blossom in there and French lavender – aka good quality lavender. I really love it, and the bottle is also so sexy." - Leigh Campbell.

The Body Shop Box of Wonders Big Advent Calendar, $180.

"If you've got $200 buck to spend on someone, I would get them an advent calendar. Have a hunt around, but The Body Shop has some great ones. The person gets to try a bunch of stuff and get all the minis for future travel." - Kelly McCarren.
