Admit it: a large part of the holiday season’s charm is getting to pull out all the stops when it comes to looking great for parties, get-togethers, and reunions. Finally there’s a reason to try out those exciting beauty trends you’ve been curious about (hey, if now’s not the best time to pull off a bright red lip, I don’t know when is).
These makeup sets are chock full of cool minis so you can sample glitter eyeliner to your heart’s content.
For the Jet-Setter:
Benefit’s Sexy Little Stowaways kit gets you set up with 10 of the brand’s best-selling products, all in mini sizes that are TSA approved to take on board with you. It’s a great gift for the traveler in your family, but let’s not forget just how tiny your pretty evening bag is for all those holiday soirées. It’s good to have a stash of mini-products on hand so you don’t have to scale back on what comes with you and what stays at home too much when you’re packing that little clutch.
For the Nail Polish Princess:
If the countdown until Christmas is too much to bear, you can ease the wait with a mini gift for your fingertips each day in December. This ‘Mini Mani Month’ nail polish advent calendar by Ciaté will set you up with 20 mini paint pots of the brand’s nail polish, and 4 bottles of the brand’s caviar blends (little pearls you can adhere to your nails for a wild 3D effect). Perfect for the trend-setter on your Christmas list.
For the Lover of Luxury:
L’Occitane’s hand creams are so luxurious, it’s no wonder they’ve developed a cult following. The little tubes of shea-rich cream leave your skin soft and scented with delicate fragrances like rose and lavender. For the lady who can’t choose just one, this set gives you 12 tubes in a cute collectible tin you can use to stash your other beauty products in once you’ve finished all the creams (and your hands are soft as butter).
For the Multi Tasker:
This ‘Carried Away Collector’s Set’ from Tarte is full of little makeup jewels, with plenty of eye shadows, lip glosses, and more. But the best thing about it is the products are full of Amazonian clay which improves skin tone, and a slew of vitamins and antioxidants that are anti-inflammatory, and skin brightening, so you’re doing some good for your skin while you get glammed up for the evening. Makes a fab gift if choosing just one shade is not your strong suit.
For the Trend Setter
This set of brightly coloured lipsticks is a great stocking stuffer for the woman who likes to stay on top of the trends. The red lip is going strong this year, and this kit is a great way to test out a few shades and see which one looks best on you. Bite Beauty is also cool because their lip products contain resveratrol, a potent anti-ager, and the products are made with food-grade ingredients, with no synthetic waxes or other less-than-yummy chemicals. This is great news because have you heard those statistics on how many tubes of lipstick a woman eats in her lifetime? Better to snack on these ones if you ask me.
For the Man on your List:
I’m a firm believer that men don’t know what they’re missing when it comes to nice skin products. Yeah they’ll never buy themselves a fancy schmancy shaving kit, but if you sneak this kit from Anthony Logistics into their shaving bag, curiosity is going to win. Once they’ve used the glycolic acid face wash, and exfoliating scrub, their close shave will leave them with skin supple enough for plenty of kisses. They’ll be hooked, and you’ll be free of beard-burn. Win-win!
For the Green Goddess:
If you or your mother/daughter/neighbor are into natural products and a goddess-like glow (who isn’t?), Korres’ environmentally friendly line has just the kit for you. This kit comes with everything you need to get the goddess glow, complete with primer, mascara, gloss and a sculpting and highlighting trio of illuminating bronzers. The natural extracts and antioxidant-packed formulas will give your skin a boost that’ll last even when the sun goes down, and your makeup is long gone.
For the Glamour Queen:
For the woman who likes to sparkle and shine, Lise Watier’s sparkling beauty set comes with a glittery liquid eyeliner, a plumping lip gloss, and shimmering loose powder to give you the glamorous glow you crave. Now’s the time of year to get your glitter on, and the kit gives you all you need to do it.
