Writer and expert2 years ago

Is your November paycheque burning a hole in your pocket? Is all this grey weather making your spirit sink? We’ve got you, guys and gals. Sometimes you need to treat yourself to something a little extra. Something you wouldn’t usually buy for yourself. Something to lift your mood. Something... a little boujee. Christmas may be the season to spoil our loved ones, but that doesn’t mean you should leave yourself out of that lineup. After all, to misquote the Queen of Boujee, “if you can’t love yourself, how are you gonna love someone else?” Browse our top picks of Christmas treats and reward yourself for being so utterly fabulous.

Bare Minerals Limited Edition 3 Piece Brush Set

When is a makeup brush not a makeup brush? When it’s a Bare Minerals Limited Edition brush. If you thought all brushes were created equal, you are sadly mistaken.

Not only does this set include a full-size Blend & Finish Face Brush, Seamless Blush Brush and Multi-Purpose Dual-Ended Eye Brush, but it also includes a hot pink travel bag made from recycled plastic bottles. The brushes themselves are vegan, made from responsibly-sourced wood and are decorated with a festive floral print.

Replace your tired, uninspiring brushes with this luxe set before it runs out.

Michael Kors Gorgeous! Gift Set

Well, hello there Gorgeous!

Elegant and empowering, Michael Kors Gorgeous! is not your typical floral fragrance. Although it opens with traditionally feminine notes of jasmine, orange blossom and tuberose, there’s much more to this scent than meets the eye. Pink pepper, suede and tobacco might not sound like they have a place in a women’s fragrance, but in Gorgeous! they offer a spicy, woody balance to the floral notes. This is an excellent choice if you like YSL Libre and other scents designed for a strong woman who knows her mind.

And, with both a 30ml Eau de Parfum and a 75ml Body Lotion, this gift set is perfect for showing yourself some TLC this winter.

Lacoste Red Eau de Toilette

Are you tired of being gifted fragrances that smell either like a 90s nightclub or a retired dentist? Don’t leave your fragrance fate in the hands of family and friends this Christmas. Instead, treat yourself to something you’re guaranteed to love.

Lacoste Red is a sporty scent that won’t break the bank but will have you batting away the compliments. It opens with red apple and pine, fresh with a little sweetness that is so often missing from men’s perfumes. Next comes the middle notes of jasmine, cedar and musk; warming and woody with just a hint of floral. Finally, the patchouli and vetiver base notes offer an aromatic quality that brings everything together.

Whether the Lacoste polo is part of your standard weekend wardrobe or not, this is a fragrance well worth trying.

Giorgio Armani My Way Eau de Parfum Intense

If you’re truly feeling boujee and want to give yourself the ultimate “thank you” gift for being your fabulous self, look no further.

A 2021 release from Italian fashion house Giorgio Armani, My Way Intense is a sweet, floral fragrance. Opening with the refreshing notes of bitter orange, tuberose and orange blossom, the perfume develops deeper layers of intensity thanks to creamy Madagascan vanilla and sandalwood.

Step into the festive season and the New Year as you mean to go on, unapologetically boujee.
