Durga Puja: Luxurious Beauty Sets Perfect To Gift Or To Keep

By Khanak Mehta

What truly sets Indian festivals apart are the unique rituals that are at the heart of them. Whether it’s the customary floral offerings made in the wee hours of the morning to honour Maa Durga or the deeply emotional visarjan near the end to bid her farewell, these ceremonies are what make these events extra-special for us.

Another such custom is spoiling your loved ones with gifts. Often seen as a symbol of love and respect, a gift goes beyond the traditional nuances. And what better gift than making someone feel like the most beautiful version of themselves?

Here are some of the best beauty sets that are perfect to gift or to keep (we won’t tell anyone!) this Durga Puja.  

Makeup

Inspire your sister, mother or favourite aunt put her best face forward with these makeup kits. From vegan brush sets that help create flawless makeup looks, to three-step brow kits that make you look picture-perfect all day long, these sets can do it all.

Skincare

Whether they’re a skincare novice or someone who knows their niacinamide from their alpha arbutin, our handpicked sets has something for everyone. Clinique’s three-step routines are fool-proof and perfect for beginners, while Estee Lauder is ideal for seasoned ‘skin-tellectuals' who wants to elevate their nightly ritual.

Hair care & styling

If you know someone who has long, silky, goddess-like hair, these sets are bound to become the ‘mane’ act of their festive beauty regime. Travel-friendly curations from L’Occitane make for the perfect gift for the social butterfly, and nourishing formulas from Moroccanoil tame frizzy hair in no time.

Fragrances

A perfume is one of the best ways to show someone how well you know them—these sets aren’t just popular but also make it super easy for you to shop for the perfect gift. Give the energising Chopard Lemon Dulci set to the sister with a sunny disposition, or the warm and woody Jean Paul Gaultier Scandal gift set to the man who always stands apart from the crowd.

Bath & body care

Many beauty rituals have been inspired by the goddesses we worship, and these indulgent bath and body care sets are the best way to make yourself or a friend feel like one. Hit relax with the power of lavender after a long day of festivities, or treat yourself to revitalising, citrus picks that double up on the goodness with aromatherapeutic benefits.

Men’s grooming

The right grooming routine can help your favourite man make an effortless style statement. The vegetable-based Bath & Body Soap Set from Truefitt & Hill will leave his skin feeling soft and smooth, while the India Grooming Club Royale Signature Gift Box has everything he will need for the closest shave ever.
