20 Latinx-Owned Gifts For Every Beauty Lover on Your List
Ceremonia / For TMRW / Nopalera / Byrdie
It's the season of gifting, and we couldn't be more excited. Giving the gift of beauty is always at the top of our list, so we've rounded up 20 of our favorites from Latinx-owned beauty brands that will have them smiling ear-to-ear as they unbox their present. On the list are candles, fragrances, skincare gift sets, and so much more. So, whether they're a self-care enthusiast or always looking for new glam, a hair styling aficionado or a nail art expert, you can rest assured your gift won't end up tucked away in a closet.
La Boticá Nolita 96 Vela Concreto Candle
La Boticá Nolita 96 Vela Concreto Candle ($135)
You can't go wrong with selections from La Boticá, whether you're investing in perfume or home fragrance. Given how personal perfume is, however, the latter is a safer bet. The brand's candles are each housed in a stunning sustainable vessel hand-crafted out of natural travertine stone in small batches, so any scent you select will also add an air of sophistication to their space. My favorite, Nolita 96—inspired by New York City's Nolita neighborhood—features notes of sandalwood, iris, cardamom, and warm accords whipped together for a mysterious, grounding scent that will be loved at first light.
Joanna Vargas Skincare Magic Glow Wand
Joanna Vargas Skincare Magic Glow Wand ($285)
This at-home skincare device replicates professional lymphatic treatments by delivering temperature-controlled massages that mimic the natural flow of the lymphatic system. This helps to make the face appear more sculpted, improve ingredient absorption, and give the skin a natural glow. What skincare lover wouldn't want that?
Beautyblender UV Sterilization Case
Beautyblender UV Sterilization Case ($120)
Only Beautyblender founder and pro makeup artist Rea Ann Silva could innovate a sleek silver makeup caddy that holds your tools and beauty products while also zapping germs. Going from set to home might not be the norm for you or anyone you know who isn't a pro makeup artist, but this sterilization carrier is still an unexpected gift that will get tons of use. Before popping your tools in the case, it's essential to cleanse them by hand, then let the case—designed with 12 bulbs that emit 260 nm to 280 nm of UV light—do its thing (in just three minutes).
Dedcool Scent UR Space
Dedcool Scent UR Space ($80)
If a person in your life bought a new home or enjoys the scent of freshly washed linen, Dedtergent is a helpful gift. With this set—which includes Dedtergent, Room + Linen Spray, and Air Freshener—you can select the specific scent of each included product. Plus, it comes in a limited edition DedCool holiday gift box, so you don't even have to worry about gift wrap.

Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush might be a viral sensation, but we're just as enamored with the rest of the brand's offerings—including the Positive Light Liquid Luminizer and Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick. With this set, you can select the perfect hue of each to gift them (or yourself) a flawless base.
