Everyone's favorite 2017 supermodel (Gigi Hadid, duh) has a brand-new line with Maybelline, and the Jetsetter Palette, $29.99, is our favorite item in the collection, hands down. Here's why: This slim palette manages to pack two concealers, two lip balms, two eye shadows, a bronzer, a highlighter, a blush and a volume-boosting mascara. It's everything you need to get your face in shape whether you're flying private from coast to coast (like Miss Hadid) or just getting ready at your desk at work (*raises hand*).
SK-II's moisturizing, brightening, miracle-working Facial Treatment Essence, $179 is one of those cult products that people absolutely swear by. Each year devotees stock up when they come out with a special limited-edition bottle for holiday, and this year's version (Change Destiny Limited Edition Series, $229) just might be my favorite yet. Each bottle comes emblazoned with one of three different inspiring mantras (Be The Person You Decide to Be, Destiny Is a Matter of Choice, or Change Is in All of Us) written in fierce, graffiti-like bubble letters. And, really, who can resist top-notch skincare that comes with a side of a morning mantra?
For the affordable new skin-care line YourGoodSkin, the creators consulted with thousands of real women (i.e., not pros or models) to come up with a regimen that would treat all skin types and issues and offer real, tangible results. Sounds good, right? If you want to try the brand, YourGoodSkin Balancing Skin Concentrate, $19.99, is a good place to start. It's a serum that targets the five biggest concerns most women have (radiance, evenness, moisture levels, texture and oiliness) and promises to improve each one in 28 days. Um, sign us up, please!
Here's a fun new mask to add to your skin-care regimen -- and your Instagram Stories. Boscia Luminizing Pink Mask, $34, is a purifying and brightening peel-off treatment that detoxifies your skin with a powerful dose of charcoal. OK, that's great. We love that. But let's face it: The best part is that it's HOT PINK. Slap it on and selfie away.
I think you're supposed to give the M.A.C. Face Powder Snow Ball, $34, as a gift, but c'mon, who could ever let it go? It's a flattering golden-peach powder embossed with a pretty snowflake design and tucked into a chic, metallic compact. I'll think of it as the gift of glowing skin ... for me.
