The Glimmer Lip Vault Vol.1 ($88; olehenriksen.com) is one of my favorite sets this year. It features full sizes of the Pout Preserve Glimmer Lip Treatments and is a gorgeous set if you like the lip treatment, For me, its an everyday gloss/balm combo that keeps my lips super moisturized and soft. The Cocoa Creme Glimmer is new this holiday season and is included in the kit along with a few other favorites of mine. They are shimmery, but not gritty and add a lovely sheen to the lips with a hint of color. I highly recommend these balms if you like sheer glosses and lip treatments with skincare benefits!

Two New Neutral Smokey Eye Discoveries From Lancome That I'm Currently Loving!

Two makeup must haves I've been loving lately from Lancome include the Idole Cafe Crush Eyeshadow Palette ($59; lancomeusa.com) and the Le Stylo Eyeliner Pencil in Noir Intense ($29; lancomeusa.com). Theve both been on my makeup rotation for the past few weeks. I love a good neutral palette, especially ones that have a mix of shimmers and mattes and the Cafe Crush palette has been perfect for that.

The pigmentation is very rich and super easy to blend. The shimmers do have a bit of fallout so I like to use a flat brush to pack the colors and then blend. The neutral shadows are perfect as one wash eysadhows with just some eyeliner and mascara if you like a simple, neutral eye look. They are great with a primer underneath and the colors complement a variety of skintones.

The Le Stylo Eyeliner Pencil in Noir Intense ($29; lancomeusa.com) is fabulous for the water and lash lines. The pigmenattion is intense and the jet black color is perfect for defining eyes quicly. I also like the smudger that it comes with that makes quick smokey eyes a breeze. Since the pencil is on the thinner side, its easy to use on the waterline with definition. I also needed a good oil based waterproof makeup remover to get it all off. Overall, highly recommended if you are looking for a black eyeliner that won't budge.

Milk Makeup Holiday 2025 Sets

MILK Makeup Holiday 2025 Sets Review, Photos, Swatches

MILK Makeup's new holiday sets are a great way to try out the brand's bestsellers that come in deluxe and full sizes. The Ready to Jelly Cooling Water Jelly Tint Vault Gift Set ($99; sephora.com) is a six piece kit featuring Milk's Cooling Water Jelly Tints. They also come in a beautiful neon case that is perfect for travel. I love these blushes - they double up as lip tints and last forever! The shades are so flattering and add a pop of color without being over the top. The cooling texture is fabulous and is also great for skin texture since it doesn't enhance pores.

The Hydrogrip Heroes Duo ($30; milkmakeup.com) and Hydrogrip Haul ($25; milkmakeup.com) are two of their great gift sets that are perfect stocking stuffers. They come in deluxe sizes and if you love the hydrogrip formula, these are great sizes to travel with. The Hydrogrip Primer and Setting Spray are both great for hot and humid days, but don't feel greasy or tacky. I love how lightweight the textures are. The Hydro Grip + Glow Primer is a light reflecting, glowy primer that I also like to mix with my foundation or use as a light highlighter on the cheeks. Overall, I love these value sets from Milk and would absolutely recommend for any makeup lover!
