ELLE’s Great Indian Festive Affair: Diwali Gifts From These Iconic International Brands That Took Us Completely By Surprise

BANNER IMG

As soon as the festive season comes around, there’s only one thing on every Indian’s mind: gifting. But, this year, there’s a sparkling surprise in store for every beauty enthusiast.

There was a time when wanting products from a global brand meant asking your relatives or friends to bring them back to India from trips abroad. Cut to 2024, where we’ve obviously come a long, long way since then. Internationally loved brands have pulled the wildest card ever by releasing Diwali gifting boxes and special editions and we had to cover them all for you. It’s beautiful to see the joy of Indian culture and festivities being shared globally and there are some gifts in it for you too!

Benefit Cosmetics Brow Essentials Kit

The best brow duo you can snag, for yourself or for your besties- someone’s got to see to it that the squad’s brows are always on fleek. The super precise brow pencil is unbelievably easy to use and the brow wax will keep your brows in place through a tsunami!

Bobbi Brown Swipe And Shine Crushed Oil-Infused Gloss Trio
