With only a month left before Christmas, most of us are already doing shopping for gifts. But if you have a lot of girlfriends, you might be running out of ideas already.

The good news is you can never go wrong with buying Korean skincare products. Not only they are filled with nutrients that will improve your look, they are also packed in cute packaging – perfect for the festive theme!

Here are seven brands that launched a holiday collection.

The History of Whoo’s Bichup range contains a classic essence that aims to rejuvenate and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. At the same time, it activates cells from within to repair damages and improve skin complexion.

This Christmas, they released a set that includes the Bichup First Moisture Anti-Aging Essence and 1 piece of Moisture Anti-Aging 3 Step Mask combined with the Gongjinhyang: Soo Vital Hydrating Balancer, Emulsion and Foam Cleanser.

It is packed in a deep red box with intricate festive details on the front. If you’re giving it as a gift, you don’t even have to wrap it because it’s already beautiful as is!

You can buy it for only $131 at any of their physical stores located in Tang Plaza, Vivo City and Takashimaya.

Skincare products are usually applied on the cheeks, forehead and neck. Meanwhile, the lip is not given much priority when in reality, it deserves the same love too!

Start giving your lips some TLC with Laneige’s lip sleeping mask set that is launched as a part of their holiday collection. All three products are made using their MOISTURE WRAPTM technology to keep your lips hydrated and plump.

It comes in three flavours of berry, grapefruit and apple lime and is packaged into cute pastel containers.

You can buy it for only $31.50 at their official Shopee and Lazada stores.

This year’s holiday collection from Sulhwasoo does not come in the usual Christmas-themed boxes of red and gold. Instead, they decided to portray the luxurious and modern interpretation of Korea’s traditional bookshelves.

This limited time only set includes the indispensable anti-aging First Care Activating Serum, the Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Serum to make your skin firm and smooth, Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Water for nourishment and Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Emulsion for rejuvenation.

The whole set costs $118 and you can buy it at their official website, Shopee and Lazada stores.

ETUDE Wintered Checkered Syrup Glossy Balm

This product from ETUDE is not exactly a skincare item but more of a make-up, but because it has a hydrating effect, it also does the job of taking care of your lips.

It comes in two shades of Pink Gleam & Red Checkered and offers a long-lasting colour upon application along with a shiny and smooth finish. Just like its name, your lip will look life as if syrup had melted on it when you use it.

It’s also very easy to use (no need to worry about misplacing the cover!) because all you need to do is click the button to reveal the balm, and twist to the right when you’re done.

You can get it for only $16.90 here.
