The only thing that delivers a bigger wow factor than this art-deco wardrobe is the $329 collection of skin treatments inside: four jars of the brand's famous mud masks that work like single-step deep-cleaning facials; a brightening eye cream; and tinted moisturizer made with pearl particles that serve as a built-in highlighter.
Shea butter beauty products can be found just about everywhere — from drugstores to high-end boutiques. But sustainably made Ghanaian and Ugandan shea butter that's free of sulfates, and GMOs is not only harder to come by, it delivers a completely different experience. Each butter in this set of six is blended with a different essential oil profile but retains some of shea's original nutty scent. Though incredibly thick, it melts into skin within seconds and provides instant hydration and the look of a healthy glow without leaving skin sticky and slippery. (No wonder it's been dubbed one of Oprah's favorite things.)
Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick Set, $136
Everyone loves to talk about lip color taking a back seat to dramatic eye looks this year. But for those of us who live our workdays on Zoom, lipstick remains very much in play, thank you very much. For those of us not wearing our ultra-vibrant matte shades as much as we did pre-pandemic, this kit is just the thing for a 2021 refresh: it's stocked with the three best selling shades of the brand's innovative lip color formula that feels like a casual tinted balm on the lips, but looks like a high-shine lip color. Better yet, the bundle is encased in a smashing black-on-black, cheetah print faux leather case (which makes a perfect travel carryall for jewelry) for a gift that will never go out of style (no matter how much we continue to mask up).
Are five glossy lipsticks considered child's play for the pout of your favorite makeup-loving friend? Nars has you covered with this collection of 12 full-sized lip colors in three different formulas. Best-selling nudes (like Dolce Vita and Cruella) and reds (including Inappropriate Red and Vain) are presented in a rolled up, advent calendar-style format that allows the lucky recipient to try a new color every day for nearly two weeks.
This award-winning liquid gel eyeshadow is a favorite among editors and makeup geeks alike for its swipe-on application and major color payoff. In the box are seven shades proven to deliver sparkle that can be seen from minimized square in Zoom, plus a limited edition cranberry color that's exclusive to this set.
