Six New And Must Have Holiday Gift Sets To Add To Your List

A few amazing new holiday sets that I’m loving and would recommend for anyone!

The Malin + Goetz Thats The Spirit Gift Set ($98; malingoetz.com) is a gorgeous duo that leaves you and your home smelling lovely. Dark Rum is one of my favorite fragrances from Malin + Goetz. It's a moody, dark, spicy fragrance with notes of bergamot, plum, rum, leather, patchouli, amber, vanilla and musk. Dark Rum is unisex and is a perfect fall-winter cozy fragrance with a creamy vanilla-musk-rum dry down. The candle is pleasant as well with a nice throw and is crafted with a natural wax blend and a cotton wick. If you love unique fragrances, this set is a must have and makes for a perfect gift for any fragrance lover.

The Curl Manifesto Range is one of my favorite hair care ranges from Kerastase. It's perfect for anyone with dry, wavy or curly hair. I love this Curl Manifesto Luxury Holiday Gift Set ($102; kerastase.com) for my fine-frizzy and wavy hair. The shampoo-conditioner duo leaves hair feeling super soft, bouncy, easy to manage without weighing it down too much. The Leave in treatment works great while air drying to define curls or as a pre-styling treatment as well. Highly recommend this set for any beauty lover or if you love luxury hair care with great results! Much like all other collections from Kerastase, this one too smells fantastic.

Monday Haircare Ultimate Moisture Gift Set ($16; target.com) is a great budget buy if you are looking for a moisturizing hair care set that doesn't break the bank. The packaging is stunning and the shampoo-conditioner duo is great for dry hair especially prone to breakage. The conditioner isn't too thick, so does not tend to make hair look greasy, The Leave-in Conditioner is a lightweight styling product, but a little bit goes a really long way if you have fine hair. I also like the pleasant scent that lingers on for a little while post wash.

Ole Henriksen has the best holiday skincare sets at great value, especially great if you’ve been wanting to try full sizes of their skincare products. The Banana Bright Instant Glow Moisturizer is one of my favorite daytime moisturizers and most recently I’ve been liking the Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturizer as well. Both the After Party Peptides ($52; sephora.com) and the Pre-Party Glow Vitamin C Kit ($57; sephora.com) are a great value for anyone starting out with or wanting to get into an anti-aging, brightening skincare routine. The gift sets are a fabulous value with a mix of full sizes and deluxe minis. I was also excited to see a new shade of the Pout Preserve Lip Treatment, Pomegranate Fizz in the Disco Duo ($30; sephora.com) kit, which is one of my favorite lip care products.

Laura Geller Best Of Baked Palette In Tuscan Dreams

The Best Of Baked Palette In Tuscan Dreams ($69; laurageller.com) is a new palette from Laura Geller for the holidays. It's a beautiful neutral palette that is an everyday palette for anyone who loves the no makeup makeup look. The colors in here are very wearable, easy to work with and perfect for work too. I like how these have medium pigmentation that is buildable and easy to blend without much effort. I also like baked textures that don’t have a ton of chunky shimmer which makes it easier to and forgiving on dry skin or skin with a lot of texture. The eyeshadows are all neutrals making them one and done eyeshadows for me. I do wish the pigment was a tad more intense since these do work well when patted with fingers or a stiff eyeshadow brush as opposed to a regular fluffy eyeshadow brush. The cheek products are amazing though, very smooth, finely milled shimmer and do not look streaky and blend effortlessly. Overall, it's a great palette for anyone wanting a very natural look without too much shimmer or glitter in the mix.

Lancome Idole Ultra Wear Skin Transforming Powder Bronzer

Lancome Idole Ultra Wear Skin Transforming Powder Bronzer in Light Medium 03, Medium 04, Tan 05 Review, photos, swatches

The Idole Ultra Wear Skin Transforming Powder Bronzer ($45; lancome-usa.com) is a new launch from Lancome that comes in seven gorgeous shades. The colors are natural looking and the super finely milled formula is amazing on all skin types. The texture is almost like a cream to powder and blends flawlessly without any fallout or patchiness. I have pretty dry skin this time of the year and this one doesn’t enhance my texture at all. I tried three shades from the range, 03 Light Medium, 04 Medium and 05 Tan. 03 and 04 are perfect bronzers for my skintone while 05 can be a bit dark and might work better in the summer. 03 and 04 also double up as a warm toned blush for me which I love. I like to go light handed with these, since they are very pigment packed. The lasting power is great as well and I’d definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a super natural looking bronzer without too much shimmer or glitter that adds a gorgeous warmth and glow.
