The Chanel holiday collection features nine exclusive gift sets housed in celestial blue pouches, plus twelve limited-edition make-up and nail products inspired by the cosmos.
While some of you were waiting for your favourite advent calendar to drop, I’ve been anxiously anticipating the arrival of the Chanel holiday gift sets; anxious being the operative adjective because these kits don’t last for long. Each year, it seems as soon as they debut – poof, they’re sold out. So, here I am, giving you the inside scoop – revealing everything you need to know about them on the day they launch, because I know you want one as badly as I do.

Chanel Beauty’s holiday 2025 collection is inspired by the cosmos. Here, Cometes Collective member and Chanel global make-up artist Cécile Paravina designed a limited-edition make-up lineup featuring symbols of the House reimagined as constellations carefully etched across two limited-edition Illuminating Powder Blushes and a new Les 4 Ombres palette in a shade entitled Nuit Astrale. These arrive alongside fresh iterations of its Le Vernis nail polish, liquid eyeliner, Ultrawear Shine Liquid Lip Color, and Rouge Allure Velvet Lipstick, which are equally as covetable. Throughout, midnight blues and greys, nebulous reds and oranges, galactic silvers and metallics are all hues that make-up this astral collection, symbolising endings and new beginnings.
In choosing your holiday goodies, take your pick of the aforementioned debuts or the exclusive make-up and skincare sets that bundle some of our existing Chanel favourites. Take the Coveted Essentials Beauty Set, for example, which combines a baby pink nail polish, clear lip balm, and La Crème Main hand cream – a trio sure to satisfy any beauty lover. The make-up maven, however, might prefer the duo entitled Amplified Gaze, which features an eyeshadow quad and black mascara designed to accentuate the eyes. These are just two of the nine gift sets available this year, each housed in a rich navy blue Chanel pouch emblematic of the galaxies. A brief overview of each set below – get one for yourself, as a gift for her, or to fill any stocking. Each is assuredly out of this world.
Chanel Coveted Essentials Beauty Set
- Why we love it: If someone were to ask me, “Which Chanel holiday set should I get?” this one would be my answer. It’s like a gateway into the Chanel Beauté universe. Le Vernis is one of the industry’s most-loved nail polishes, and its 111 Ballerina shade is the ultimate sheer baby pink. TikTok put us onto the label’s hand cream three years ago, and the formula hasn’t lost its steam. In this set, you get these two with a sheer lip balm rich in shea butter and jojoba oils for a trio of goodies you’ll continue to reach for day after day.
- What’s featured: Le Vernis in 111 Ballerina, La Créme Main Texture Riche, and Rouge Coco Baume Satin in 912 Dreamy White
Chanel Gloss Up Lip Set
- Why we love it: Why have one lip gloss when you can have three? At least that’s the logic behind the Gloss Up Lip Set. A long-time Vogue editor favourite, we lean on these formulas – rich in coconut oil, peptides and vitamin E – for minimal, yet eye-catching shimmer. Included here are shades 119 Bourgeoisie (a glimmering pink), 712 Melted Honey (a dazzling gold), and 726 Icing (a soft pink) that will assuredly suit any makeup look.
- What’s Featured: Rouge Coco Gloss in 119 Bourgeoisie, 712 Melted Honey, and 726 Icing
Chanel Le Lift Smooth Results Skincare Set
- Why we love it: The hands are one of the first body parts to show signs of ageing, yet often the most neglected region when it comes to skin and bodycare. Fortunately for us, Chanel has distilled its Le Lift technology that powers its smoothing and plumping face cream into a rich hand cream. The little black egg may be small, but she’s mighty. Grab them both in this bundle to address all your ageing qualms.
- What’s featured: Le Lift Créme and Le Lift La Créme Main
Chanel Eyes to Impress Make-up Set

- Why we love it: The purpose of Chanel’s La Base is to boost the effects of mascara for exceptional length and definition. That way, when you apply it before a coat of Le Volume de Chanel, you’ll have people asking whether you’re wearing falsies or not. Get both in the Eyes to Impress Makeup Set, along with the House’s acclaimed waterproof eyeliner in the colour of the moment—brown. “A brown eyeliner blends in much better with skin, eye, and hair while still giving that pop,” make-up artist Raquel Álvarez previously told Vogue, adding, “plus, it will restore brightness to the skin.”
- What’s featured: Le Volume de Chanel in 10 Noir, La Base Mascara, and Stylo Yeux Waterproof in 20 Espresso
Chanel Amplified Gaze Make-Up Set

- Why we love it: Each shade in the Chanel Les 4 Ombres Eyeshadow Palette is carefully selected. There are two base shades, a darker shade to intensify, and a lighter shade to highlight – taking the guesswork out of getting your desired look. Really, it’s all about choosing the palette for you, and 308 Clair-Obscur, the palette featured in the Amplified Gaze set, has all the makings of a modern smoky eye. Just pair it with a few swipes of the Noir Allure Mascara and be on your way.
- What’s featured: Noir Allure Mascara in 10 Noir and Les 4 Ombres in 308 Clair-Obscur
Chanel The Lip Routine Beauty Set
- Why we love it: The secret to long-lasting lipstick? Prep the lips. A pout that’s cracked, flaky, and dry certainly won’t do! Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum Lèvres to the rescue! “A lip serum is a hydrating barrier protector for the lips,” celebrity make-up artist Delina Medhin previously told Vogue. “It is a product specifically formulated to plump and nourish the lips, in addition to moisturising them.” Once the serum is fully absorbed, swipe on the Rouge Allure lipstick for a vibrant matte red lip that won’t fade.
- What’s featured: Hydra Beauty Micro Serum Levres and Rouge Allure Velvet in 58 Rouge Vie
Chanel N°1 De Chanel Power Pair Skincare Set
- Why we love it: When N°1 De Chanel launched, it was the brand’s first foray into clean beauty, offering a nine-piece lineup comprised of up to 97 per cent natural ingredients, powered by nearly the entire camellia plant, known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and thus anti-ageing benefits. For those who have yet to experience its benefits, two of the bestsellers are coupled in the Power Pair. Layer the Revitalizing Serum with its wrinkle-smoothing cream for skin that looks and feels more youthful.
- What’s featured: N°1 De Chanel Revitalizing Serum and N°1 De Chanel Cream
