It comes with a blendable and hydrating blush stick in the perfect shade, a bare rose tone, as well as a hydrating lip oil that will leave lips feeling hydrated without being sticky. Plus, it comes in the cutest packaging, so all you need to do is stick a bow on it." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Benefit Wild Caught Lashes Kit ($28, originally $40)

"There's no bigger trend in food right now than tinned fish, and, for me, there's no better category in beauty than mascara. Benefit Cosmetics managed to squeeze the best of both worlds into one cutest-ever holiday set with this Wild Caught Lashes Kit. It includes two of its bestselling formulas — Fan Fest (my personal favorite) and Bad Gal Bang — so the giftee of your choice can "mascara cocktail" to their heart's desire." — Kelsey Castañon, senior content director

Naked Sundays BeautyScreen Peptide Foundation Tint ($38)

"I live in the desert, which means my sunscreen is also half of my makeup routine. This makeup-meets-SPF hybrid is one of the best I've tried for dry skin, providing a noticeable tint while still looking glowy on the skin. I would highly recommend gifting this to your favorite desert-dweller with the coordinating SPF BFF brush. (Did I mention how cute the packaging is?)" — Chandler Plante, assistant editor, health and fitness

MAC Cosmetics Glam as Gold Eye Kit ($38, originally $50)

"If there's someone in your life who is obsessed with easy eye-makeup looks, add the MAC Cosmetics Glam as Gold Eye Kit to your list. It's a four-piece gift set that comes with an eyeshadow, a mascara, a brow gel, and an eyeliner. It's all you need to get the perfect glam look for the holidays in one kit." — RR

Ilia Beauty Lip Sketch Trio ($34)

"I don't wear lipstick often, but when I do, I reach for the Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon from Ilia Beauty. It's as precise as a lip liner and goes on smoothly like a creamy lipstick. The soft-matte formula is long-lasting (minimal touchups required!) and available in a variety of shades. I don't have a red crayon in my collection — but I have a feeling I'll be needing one for the holidays." — Alida Araica, newsletter manager

Kulfi Zari Eyes Cream Eyeshadow ($30)

"I love sporting a bold, shimmery eyeshadow look, and rather than packing on shades and switching palettes for a mesmerizing glam look, I use Kulfi's Zari Eyes. With just one swipe, you get a pigmented, long-wearing formula that makes your eye look multi-dimensional. It comes in seven metallic and shimmer shades, but I personally love Bronze Brocade and Sona Sona for the holiday season." — Anvita Reddy, assistant editor, shopping

Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil Magic Minis ($39)

"I've been obsessed with the Make Up For Ever lip liners in the shades wherever walnut and anywhere caffeine for the last few months, and this set has been screaming my name ever since I first saw it online. The pencils are mini (which is fine because it takes me years to go through an entire lip pencil), and they come with all of the shades I love for my lips, plus a couple I can even use on my eyes. I love this set as a stocking stuffer or for someone who is on the go a lot and loves having minis of everything." — Renee Rodriguez, staff writer and social producer

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm for Hydration & Shine in Iced Coffee ($24)

"I can't apply this without singing 'that's that me espresso,' but it's a price I'll happily pay for the sweet flavor and super-natural color of this beloved Summer Fridays gloss. It's the perfect stocking stuffer!" — Alessandra Foresto, chief of staff

Fenty Beauty by Rihanna The Gloss Bomb Vault Full-Size Universal Lip Luminizer 10-Piece Set ($150)

"Anyone who knows me knows I'm obsessed with lip glosses, and the Fenty Gloss Bomb is one of my all-time favorites. It's plumping, but it's also long-lasting and leaves my lips looking their absolute best. The Gloss Bomb Vault is honestly going at the top of my holiday wish list because it's legitimately like it was made for me — 10 gloss bomb colors? Sign me freaking up. There are a few shades I love, like glass slipper, and then a few that are exclusive to this set. The perfect gift for any lip gloss lover." — RR
