It’s the ultimate wish list of beauty lovers everywhere; a collage of luxury picks and sweet beauty stocking stuffers, fragrances, palettes, skincare tools, and more. Browse our findings below and you’re guaranteed to find the perfect present to spread a little joy for the year to come — not to mention good hair, skin, and nails.
1. Sacheau Stainless Steel Gua Sha Tool
Lymphatic drainage — ever heard of it? The practice has become a hot topic across the beauty sphere in recent years. The idea is that, by smoothing muscle tissue around the body, your lymphatic system can properly eliminate body waste. Dry brushes and gemstone rollers have risen to popularity as key tools in accomplishing this, but Asian beauty brand, Sacheau has replaced jade and quartz with its Gua Sha made from 100% recycled stainless steel that is anti-bacterial, self-cooling, eco-friendly, and more durable than alternatives.
2. Rare Beauty Selena’s Faves 4-Piece Mini Set
Selena Gomez’s beauty brand, Rare Beauty, has been a hit with celebs and social media influencers alike since its initial launch in 2020, so if the guru on your list likes to keep up with makeup trends, the Only Murders in the Building actress’s favorite picks set is the perfect beauty gift. The blushing box comes with four miniature-sized products inside, all hand-chosen by Selena for inclusion: A mini Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade Joy, a mini Positive Light Liquid Luminizer in the shade Mesmerize, a mini Lip Soufflé Matte Lip Cream in the shade Inspire, and a mini Perfect Strokes Universal Volumizing Mascara in black. The travel-friendly makeup kit is also perfect for beauty lovers on the go, as the set includes everything they need for a full face of soft glam.
3. Dyson Airwrap Complete Styler
For serious stylers who put haircare above all else, there’s the Dyson Airwrap holiday gift set. Undoubtedly one of the best hair-dryer brushes and beauty gifts for the season, the Airwrap Styler Complete comes equipped with multiple attachments that cater to all different hair types and can create a multitude of hair looks. Retailing for $550, the set includes a pre-styling dryer, 1.2″ and 1.6″ barrels, three brushes (a soft smoothing brush, firm smoothing brush, and volumizing brush), plus a storage case to stow it all in. So while it’s definitely a splurge item, your lucky recipient will certainly get what you paid for: A salon-quality tool to be used in the comfort of their own home.

4. Slip Lovely Lashes Contour Sleep Mask
Give the gift of the ultimate beauty sleep with Slip’s new Lovely Lashes Contour Sleep Mask. Most sleep mask material lies directly over the eyes, but this silk option was designed with more than just a good night’s rest in mind. The inside of the mask is contoured so that your eyelids and lashes have room to breathe. It’s an especially convenient setup for anyone who wears falsies, ensuring your set stays where they are while you snooze.
5. Fenty Beauty The Before Bed Set
Not sure which skincare products to incorporate into your nighttime routine? Rihanna has you covered with the Fenty Beauty Before Bed Set. The three-piece set is comprised of only PM-essentials, so you no longer have to wonder which serums and creams to use when. The beautifully packaged spread includes the Fenty Beauty Fat Water Pore-Refining Toner Serum to brighten and smooth the skin; the Instant Reset Overnight Recovery Gel-Cream that works to reduce fine lines and wrinkles; and the Pro Kiss’r Luscious Lip Balm in the shade Hint Hint (a universal invisipink sheen) to condition lips overnight. Everything is necessary and nothing is extra.
6. Drunk Elephant Trunk 5.0 Value Set
Luxury skincare and cute luggage? Yes, please. Drunk Elephant’s holiday 2021 offerings are all jaw-dropping this year, but the brand’s Trunk 5.0 Value Set is one we’ll never forget (nor will your lucky recipient). This vibrantly colored Monos suitcase embellished with floral details comes packed with 10 full-size Drunk Elephant products that cater to skin under various conditions. From the brand’s Protini™ Powerpeptide Resurf Serum to its Beste™ No. 9 Jelly Cleanser, T.L.C. Framboos™ Glycolic Night Serum, and various best-sellers in between the deluxe gift includes everything you need to keep your complexion prepared for every season, climate, and time of day.
7. Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado Duo
The Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado is as rich in hydration as it is loaded with ultra-nourishing ingredients. Formulated with avocado oil, beta-carotene, and shea butter, the dynamic cream depuffs and revitalizes the sensitive under-eye area. It’s the perfect beauty gift for moms whose smile reaches their eyes, who’ve cried with us and for us, who’ve seen the good, the bad, the ugly — whose eyes deserve as much love as they give.
8. Burt’s Bees Classic Gift Set
One of the best beauty gift sets on sale this season is Burt’s Bees Classic Gift Set. The brand’s signature yellow tin comes stocked with six fan-favorite products, including its ultra-hydrating shea butter hand cream, coconut foot cream, and beeswax lip balm. Keep this kit in mind for anyone on your list who grapples with dry, cracking skin through the winter months.
9. Briogeo Honey Hydration Don’t Despair, Repair! Hair Repair Kit
As far as hair masks go, vegan-friendly hair-care brand Briogeo has some of the best. Its Honey Hydration mask, for example, smells amazing and transforms strands from stale to baby soft in a minimum of five minutes. But don’t worry: no bees were harmed, nor was honey involved in the making of this product. The formula contains a Vegan Apple honey Complex (an animal-friendly alternative to honey) for a burst of hydration, while the addition of nourishing rosehip oil treats breakage. This best-selling mask is combined with a set of Briogeo’s travel-sized Don’t Despair, Repair! shampoo and conditioner for holiday 2021, an ideal pairing for anyone passionate about a healthy hair routine.
10. Make Up For Ever Rouge Fever Lip Set
The Make Up For Ever Rouge Fever Lip Set includes a lip pencil for precise outlining and an ultra-pigmented satin-finish lipstick that offers up to 24 hours of wear. The set is available in two colorways, nude and red, both of which would be perfect staple hues for the holidays and beyond. Brand-new on the market and already racking up over 1,000 hearts on Sephora, we have a feeling this beauty gift idea is going to sell fast.
11. Foreo You Glow Babe! Set Featuring Kate Somerville
Foreo and Kate Somerville came together to create this all-encompassing skin-care gift set for holiday 2021, and the steal is real. Valued at $250, but retailed at only $150, the You Glow Babe! gift set includes the FOREO Luna mini 3 facial cleansing device, the Kate Somerville ExfoliKate® Cleanser Daily Foaming Wash, Kate Somerville’s ExfoliKate Glow Moisturizer, and the Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment.

12. ILIA Mini The Smalls Wonder Set
Introduce the minimalist beauty lover on your list to ILIA with this miniature beauty gift set. The brand values simplicity, from its packaging to its ingredient lists, so we can (almost) guarantee it will be love at first sight. The set includes four everyday staples: a Limitless Lash Lengthening Mascara, Fullest Volumizing Mascara, Balmy Gloss Tinted Lip Oil in Only You (neutral nude), and the Lip Wrap Treatment Mask, all of which come travel-sized. Certified cruelty-free, vegan-friendly, and recyclable, these best-sellers are lovely and made from skin care-powered ingredients to make users look and feel their best.
13. Bite Beauty Agave Lip Vault
Winter weather takes a toll on sensitive skin, especially lips. For anyone who’s constantly reapplying lip balm, Bite Beauty’s Agave Lip Vault will serve as a saving grace. Featuring four cult-favorite products from the brand’s Agave collection, including an intensive lip mask and nighttime therapy treatment, consider the set a compact self-care kit for your recipient’s pout. All product is vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and made with clean ingredients, and your purchase also comes with a makeup pouch for easy, on-the-go storage.
14. Too Faced Christmas In London Makeup Set
Every year, fans of Too Faced anticipate the brand’s Christmas beauty gift sets — if not for the actual product then for its gorgeous packaging. This year, the Christmas in London Makeup Set comes wrapped up in a lavender-shaded sketch depicting Santa Clause soaring over holiday celebrations in Londoner homes, with Big Ben front-and-center and The London Eye Ferris Wheel spinning in the background. Inside the gift box, you’ll find a limited-edition, 20-shade eyeshadow palette that also features four pressed-powder blushes. A travel-sized Better Than Sex mascara is also included in the box, as well as a travel-size Lip Injection Extreme Instant & Long Term Lip Plumper.
15. Gisou Honey Infused Hair Care Set
With over 18 thousand “hearts” on Sephora, Gisou’s Honey Infused Hair Care Set is a pretty *sweet* deal. The kit is comprised of four full- and travel-size products: a hair oil, mask, wash, and conditioner. Each is suitable for all hair types and textures, and when used together, the set is designed to treat hair that feels dry, lacks shine, has damage, split ends, or breakage. Formulated with Mirsalehi Honey to restore strands’ natural moisture balance, each cruelty-free product individually helps relieve, rebuild, and rebalance hair.
16. Tarte Best Of Blush Mini Amazonian Clay Cheek Set
Before Shape Tape, Tarte was best known for its Amazonian Clay collection, specifically, its blush compacts. Amazonian Clay delivers high-quality, longer wear, and when paired with mineral pigments that smooth and soften the skin, as well as antioxidant-rich vitamin E, the result is a lasting formula rich in color payoff. In this festive holiday set, beauty gurus get five of Tarte’s best shades that won’t fade for up to 12 hours, as well as a highlighter that adds a pop of shine over a touch of rouge. Mind you, the compacts in the set are travel-sized, so they’re perfect for toting around in a purse or for gifting anyone new to using this type of cosmetic.
17. Youth to the People Youth Minimalist Kit
For the skincare enthusiast who’s looking to condense their routine, enter Youth to the People’s Youth Minimalist Kit. The beauty gift box consists of three holy grail products suitable for all skin types to tackle concerns like dark spots, clogged pores, and dryness: a Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser for a deep, more nourishing wash; the Superfood Air-Whip Moisturizer Cream that’s made with kale, green tea, and hyaluronic acid; as well as the brand’s Vitamin C + Clean Caffeine Energy Serum to even and depuff the complexion. It’s a three-step system that covers the important bases, offering better results with less product.
18. MAC Mystic Mist Fix+ Duo
One bottle of MAC Fix+ is already an exciting beauty gift, but two bottles of this magical stuff are even better. This mist is multi-purpose and will take any makeup look to the next level. Dubbed a “4-in-1 mega multitasker,” you can spray it on the skin by itself to refresh the skin, or spritz over makeup to act as a setting spray. Pair it with powder products to ensure your skin doesn’t dry out from the pigment or apply it over powder eyeshadows to intensify the color. No matter how it’s used, it’s the gift that keeps on giving.
19. Bobbi Brown Cleanse & Care Extra Skin Care Set
Bobbi Brown’s been in the game for years, so if you’re looking for a skincare set that actually delivers on its promises, look no further than this beauty expert’s collection. The Cleanse & Care Extra Skin Care Set will meet the highest of beauty standards because each product goes above and beyond its competitors. It includes a soothing cleansing oil rich in botanicals that can remove even the most stubborn of makeup, as well as Brown’s Extra Lip Tint Sheer Tinted Lip Balm in the shade Bare Pink that’s both color-enhancing and super moisturizing. An Extra Eye Repair Cream is also included, a concentrated cream to revive tired eyes, plus the brand’s Extra Bare Glow Illuminating Moisture Balm that’s been enriched with pearl particles to reinstate the skin’s glow.
20. Benefit Cosmetics Mascara Mixer Full-Size Mascara Trio
Benefit has one of the best mascara collections on the market, making its Mascara Mixer Trio set a must-have. This trifecta of formulas includes full-size fan-favorites: The BadGal Bang! mascara that offers up to a very impressive 36 hours of volume, Roller Lash which helps to achieve root-to-tip with its innovative Hook ‘n’ Roll brush, and the They’re Real! Magnet mascara for extreme length and lift. Layered over one another or used solo, these highly buzzed-about mascaras are best-sellers for a reason: They deliver.
21. Clinique Fresh Face Forward: Skin Care and Makeup Set
Clinique knows, in order to put your fresh face forward, you have to have the right beauty products. Consider the brand’s skincare and makeup set a one-stop-shop to a clearer, healthier complexion. It includes some of Clinique’s best-sellers, like its Take The Day Off Makeup Remover (a personal favorite) and All About Eyes cream. Every area of the face is accounted for in this set and, upon finishing the routine, will feel revived and refreshed.
22. GlamGlow Instant Celebrity Skin Masking Set
Winter is the season to mask up — and we’re not just talking about face coverings. The GlamGlow Instant Celebrity Skin Masking Set comes with four of the brand’s best-selling mud masks that will undoubtedly salvage skin in colder weather conditions. The YouthMud Glowing Stimulating Treatment, for example, reduces dullness and amplifies skin’s natural radiance, while the ThirstyMud Hydrating Treatment quenches dry skin’s thirst. SuperMud treats blemishes (and can be used as a full mask or spot treatment), while GravityMud tightens things up. No matter what their skin concern, GlamGlow has a mask to make it better.
23. Charlotte Tilbury Smokey Eyes are Forever Instant Eye Palette
Charlotte Tilbury palettes are always elite, and this smoldering number is no exception. Smokey Eyes are Forever, it’s true, and the look is made easy with this 12-pan compilation. Divided into four aesthetics — Love, Power, Happy, and Confident — the palette includes matte, shimmer, and metallic finishes. Shades are buildable, blendable, and mix-and-matchable. Users can follow Tilbury’s clean color-combination guidelines, or experiment with pairings based on personal preference.
24. TonyMoly I’m Real Sheet Mask Set
If you’re going to treat your loved one to one of the best sheet masks this holiday season, TonyMoly is the brand to buy. The I’m Real collection is a cult favorite, and each mask caters to a different skin concern. The variety pack includes 10 masks, including the I’m Real Red Wine Mask and I’m Real Calendula Mask. Use them as beauty stocking stuffers, or gift the entire bundle for a gentle reminder they, too, deserve a little self-care.
25. Mario Badescu Winter Glow Essentials Set
Another skincare gem to gift this season is the Mario Badescu Winter Glow Essentials Set. Featuring four brand best-sellers, including its beloved Aloe and Rose Water Facial Spray and Rose Lip Balm, the four-piece set aims to leave skin refreshed and feeling its best. Packaged in an ornament-style tin, it’s a particularly great beauty gift for teenage girls looking to experiment with their developing routine.
26. Drybar The Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush
Short hair doesn’t care until it comes to styling. On the one hand, chopped styles can be easier to maintain because there’s not much to tame. On the other, not all hair tools are created equally for all hair lengths. That’s where the Drybar Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush comes in. It’s part brush, part hair dryer that styles while it dries hair. Especially great on shorter strands, Drybar’s multi-purpose brush adds volume and calms frizz, and is suitable for all hair types and textures. And if you’re really looking to impress the beauty lover in your life, Drybar has a line of hair products to help your giftee to achieve the perfect at-home blowout.
27. Living Proof Joy to the Clean Kit
Living Proof’s dry shampoo is unmatched. The elite formula was designed to mimic the shampoo you’d use in the shower: It cleans hair by absorbing sweat and excess oils and eliminates foul odors, replacing them with a time-release fragrance that continually scents strands throughout the day. It’s considered suitable for most hair types (for reference, I have oily hair and it works like a dream), and is safe on color-treated tresses. Trust us, this two-for-one set is a steal.
28. Hip Dot Limited Edition Clueless Collector’s Box
’90s babies will be totally buggin’ once they get their hands on Hip Dot’s limited-edition collaboration with Clueless. The masterfully crafted collector’s box includes a Total Bettys Lip Oil Set, 411 Eyeshadow Palette, the Totally Clueless Blush Palette, and a collectible HipDot x Clueless pink fluffy pen (with a really nice stem). The lot comes packaged in a limited-edition collector’s box with a locker design (all it’s missing is that picture of Tye) and can only be shipped throughout the U.S.
29. Artis Elite Mirror Brush Trio
Brushes are not created equally, so you want to make sure if you’re gifting a set to a loved one this holiday season, you’re gifting the best of the best makeup brush sets. Artis brushes are immaculate tools. They are incredibly soft to the touch and apply makeup like a dream. With so many sets to choose from, we especially love the Elite Mirror Brush Trio that includes the Elite Palm Brush Mini (a favorite for applying moisturizer, foundation, powder, and cheek products), the Elite Linear 6 (ideal for blending under eye concealer and even taming the brows), and the Elite Linear 3 brush (the perfect tool for creating sharp winged liner).

30. Oscar de la Renta Alibi Eau de Parfum
As far as fragrances go, Oscar de la Renta’s latest is one to covet this season. Aside from its stunning packaging, the Alibi Eau de Parfum has a sparkling aroma. Emitting notes of mandarin and accord, ginger and blossom at the top, with aquatic accord, vanilla orchid, and heliotrope at its heart and skin musk, praline, and amber wood on the bottom, it’s a chic, sensual, and empowering fragrance representing the modern femininity of the de la Renta woman. What’s more, the fragrance is the first to be designed by co-creative directors Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim. If this is any indication of what’s to come, we can’t wait to see (and smell) what comes next.
31. Lunar Beauty Lip Gloss Bundle
Makeup artist and YouTube sensation, Manny MUA launched Lunar Beauty in 2018, and the brand has continued to drop all-inclusive collections fans can’t get enough of. Among its beauty bundles is this lip gloss trio, a trifecta of shades that delivers the ultimate glassy finish. Highlighted shades include Starlight, a medium tone pink gloss with multicolor, reflective glitter; Selene, a translucent gold with hints of pink and blue. Certified vegan and cruelty-free, fans rave the glosses look fantastic and make lips feel soft and supple. Not too sticky, and not too thin of a formula, users also note the product stays intact even under face masks.
32. Lush Christmas Bathtime Favorites
Tis the season when self-care gets put on the back burner because our calendars are jam-packed with all the holiday activities and festivities. Treat a loved one to some much-needed R&R with one of the best bomb gift sets from Lush. Packaged in this ultra-festive, reusable hatbox are 10 limited-edition, holiday-themed bath bombs Lushies wait all year for, including the I Want A Hippopotamus For Christmas bath bomb that’s shaped like a hippo and smells like fruit, and Sleepy Bear, the white polar cub dusted with lavender for soothing at bedtime. Rest assured, with LUSH on their side, their bathing experience will be the jolliest ever.
33. Nailboo Dip Kit Essential
Whether you’re shopping for a professional or novice nail artist, Nailboo’s Dip Kit Essential set will be a hit. A personal favorite for this writer who started dappling in dip powder manis once the pandemic hit, the set includes everything you need to achieve salon-quality tips at home and in less time. From detailed instructions to base coats and activators, plus your choice of four colors, the Essentials Kit will last users up to 120 manicures, each of which can last up to 3-6 weeks chip-free. Great results, and all without a UV lamp.
34. HigherDOSE Red Light Face Mask
Red light therapy gained a ton of traction in 2021, so there’s no doubt in our minds this Red Light Face Mask from HigherDose will be a hot ticket item on beauty lovers’ lists. HigherDose is best known for its sauna blanket, but this high-tech treatment from the brand is making a name all its own. Combining infrared and red LED technologies, the mask serves as a non-invasive beauty treatment that works to enhance the complexion’s natural glow by mimicking sunlight. It also features a head strap and functional eyeholes so you can “get lit” while you stay fit. In other words, you can wear it while you workout, or while you lounge on the couch. With this LED mask, glowing on the go has never been so easy.
35. Alure Three Barrel Curling Iron Wand
With Y2K styles emerging from the backs of our closets, beauty trends from the early aughts are also making a comeback. This includes curls and crimps, so for anyone on your list living for this nostalgic renaissance, we recommend the Alure Three Barrel Curling Iron Wand. This curling iron has not one, but three barrels, all of which measure 1-inch around and are made from ceramic tourmaline. But what really sets this wand apart from competitors is its heat-up time: The hot tool goes from 0 to 410 degrees Fahrenheit in just 60 seconds flat, and that heat is evenly distributed throughout hair when styling.
Buy: Alure Three Barrel Curling Iron Wand $27.99
36. Olay Regenerist Facial Cleansing Brush
Part beauty gift, part self-care tool, treating a loved one to a fancy facial cleansing brush would be a thoughtful gesture this holiday season. We’re especially fans of the Olay Regenerist exfoliator that comes with two interchangeable heads. Your giftee can decide between two levels of scrubbing – a deep clean, or gentle exfoliant -from day-to-day, depending on their skin’s needs, and note: it’s especially skilled at sloughing away stubborn makeup. It’s also the kind of tool that can be used in or out of the shower, and as long as they have two AA batteries on hand, the device makes a great travel companion, too.
Buy: Olay Regenerist Facial Cleansing Brush $21
37. Panasonic Electric Shaver
While we’re on the subject of self-care devices, you might also consider an electric razor for a special someone on your list. For references, Panasonic’s device comes highly rated, with over 65,000 reviewers awarding it an average 4.3 out of a possible 5-star rating. For the smoothest, silkiest shave of their dreams, this handheld device delivers results used wet or dry. It features four hypoallergenic, stainless steel blades, ensuring a very close shave, and comes with a 5-length bikini comb attachment for those extra sensitive, hard-to-perfect areas. Plus, it’s cordless, so it’s travel-friendly, making on-the-go hair removal from the arms, legs, underarms, etc., a breeze.
Buy: Panasonic Electric Shaver $29.99
38. NuFACE Trinity Facial Toning Device
The NuFACE Trinity Facial Toning Device is like a spa-quality facial in the palm of your hands. Named one of Allure’s Best of Beauty, the FDA-cleared tightening device uses microcurrents to stimulate the large areas of the user’s face and neck, improving the look of the skin’s contour and tone and diminishing fine lines and wrinkles. Visible results come quickly, with users only having to utilize the device for five minutes a day. In other words, it’s well worth the splurge and makes for a fantastic at-home spa gift (but we won’t tell if you keep it for yourself).
Buy: NuFace Trinity Facial Toning Device $339
39. CHI Original Flat Hair Straightening Ceramic Iron
When it comes to shopping for the best flat irons, this writer is partial to CHI (as are over 7,800 Amazon reviewers). Tried, true, and trusted, the brand’s OG Flat Hair Straightening Ceramic Iron gets the job done, and gets it done well. It boasts 1-inch ceramic plates, heats up to 392 degrees Fahrenheit, and can style strands anyway the user likes, whether that’s straight, curly, or crimped. Plus, it’s on sale right now for over half the price, making it an affordable gifting option this holiday season.
Buy: CHI Original Flat Hair Strengthening Ceramic Iron $47.21
40. Jo Malone Bestseller’s Holiday Mini Set
The luxury fragrance brand’s offerings extend beyond the best luxury candles to bring its lavish aromas to your beauty cabinet, hence why the brand’s Holiday Mini Set is the perfect beauty set for holiday gifting. The festive Cracker contains three products: The Jo Malone Poppy & Barley Cologne, English Pear & Freesia Body & Hand Wash, and Wood Sage & Sea Salt Body Crème. It also comes pre-packaged with gold bows, so if you’re not much of a wrapper, the hard work has already been done for you.
41. Slip Silk Skinnie Scrunchie Bauble
Whether they wear them like an accessory on their wrist or wear their hair up exclusively, Slip Silk scrunchies are sure to be their new go-to. These silk alternatives are a much better option for your giftee’s strands than the average hair tie, as those stretchy bands, while malleable, tug on hair and can cause damage and breakage. Silk, on the other hand, is not only gentle on strands, it enhances the hair’s natural shine and smoothness. And while you might not assume so, the material is highly durable and can handle even thick hair textures.
Buy: Slip Silk Skinnie Scrunchie Bauble $27
42. JLo Beauty That JLo Essentials Kit
Among the many celebrity-created cosmetic brands on the market, JLo Beauty is the real deal. If you have a skincare enthusiast in your life (or a diehard JLo stan), present them with this glowing foursome. The set includes the performer’s namesake gel-cream cleanser, serum, broad-spectrum SPF moisturizer, as well as a hydrating cream to create a simple, but highly effective age-defying routine that keeps skin looking and feeling youthful.
Buy: JLo Beauty That JLo Essentials Kit $85
43. Dior J’adore Eau de Parfum Gift Set
Dior’s holiday gift presentation remains unmatched, and the Eau de Parfum Gift Set is no exception. Packaged in a magnificent navy and gold floral patterned gift box kept closed with a bow is a fragrance set that smells as luxurious as it looks. The aromatic duo consists of the brand’s J’adore Eau de Parfum and J’adore Lait Supreme Beautifying Body Milk, fragranced with notes of ylang-ylang, damask rose, Grasse jasmine, and jasmine sambac.
44. Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask
Eyes should be an essential part of any skincare routine, and one of the easiest ways to ensure this sensitive skin is getting the TLC it deserves is to spot-treat the area with some of the best under-eye patches. The Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask is a decadent formula swarming with skin-loving ingredients like avocado, retinol, niacinamide, and coffeeberry. It’s an overnight, depuffing mask that works late hours to fight fine lines, reduce wrinkles, brighten, firm, and hydrate the eye area. It’s also one of those nutrient-dense formulas in which a little goes a long way – more specifically, a pea-size amount per application.
Buy: Glow Recipe Avocado Melt Retinol Eye Sleeping Mask $46
45. r.e.m. beauty midnight shadows eyeshadow babydoll palette
Ariana Grande’s makeup brand is, unsurprisingly, out of this world. The “Positions” singer’s first collection is a stunner, decked out with products inspired by all things interstellar. One of the most coveted of the offerings (plus an Ari fave) is the beauty midnight shadows babydoll palette that consists of rich mattes and metallics, so users can get as glam as they please.
