Trinny London Trinny’s bare-faced beauty set: £58, Trinnylondon.com
Does your gift recipient love a touch of make-up but fear foundation? The bare-faced beauty set may be the one for them. With a full-sized be your best cleanser, lash2lash mascara and lip glow lip gloss, it has all the basics for a near bare-faced beauty look.

Trinny London plump up your skin set: £75, Trinnylondon.com
Housing a dynamic duo inside the silver clutch bag, this small-sized gift is sure to brighten someone’s Christmas, and their face. With a saving of £10, it’s a bit of a bargain buy, too. The plump it peptide HA serum works to firm up the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, while the mini-sized bounce back peptide moisturiser only adds to the intensity and can be stacked with any other minis.
Trinny London clear skin superheroes set: £89, Trinnylondon.com
One of the key highlights of this gift set is the overnight clarity niacinamide serum, named the best serum in our Trinny London best product guide. But that’s certainly not all that’s inside this silver clutch bag. The better off gel cleanser features yet again, and a mini niacinamide moisturiser completes the Trinny product trio. For anyone serious about their skincare, or if you’re not sure of someone’s skin shade, this may be the gift set to go for.
Trinny London miracle skin set: £39, Trinnylondon.com
Featuring two of the products found in the other gift sets, this pick is one of the lowest-cost options of the bunch. Housing a mini bounce back peptide moisturiser and the miracle blur – named best problem solver in our Trinny London round-up – it’s suitable for any age and will work best for those with normal or dry skin types.
Trinny London bright-eyed set: £32, Trinnylondon.com
The cheapest, and possibly cheeriest, set of them all, this bright-eyed gift box is a great festive find. With an intense black lash2lash mascara and your pick of an eye2eye eyeshadow, this sweet set makes for a great stocking filler, secret Santa present or an easy Christmas gift for any friend. We’d strongly recommend you go bold with the Christmas colours and opt for a crimson or gold eyeshadow tone. We’ve tried this set out for ourselves, so you can get all the details in our full review.
Trinny London let it glow skin set: £75, Trinnylondon.com
The Trinny London vitamin C serum is one of the strongest serums we’ve tried – in fact, we named it best high concentration in our vitamin C round-up. So, getting a full-sized one of these is pretty exciting, especially when it’s housed inside a silver Kensington clutch. The mini bounce back moisturiser is also included, providing an added bonus for anyone after bright, glowing skin. But this isn’t one for sensitive-skinned folk, so if you know your recipient struggles with eczema, rosacea or any other delicate-skin condition, best to move opt for another set.
