16 Holiday Beauty Products To Shop Right Now
I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that it's November and the world is already thinking about the holiday season. The ice skating rink at Rockefeller Center is open and holiday decorations are already popping up all over the city. It's a little early for my taste, but when it means the best holiday beauty products are already hitting the shelves, I'm all about the festive cheer.
To me, nothing is better than a holiday-themed beauty product tucked into my stocking on Christmas morning. And beauty companies tend to agree. They go all out on their holiday gift sets, and this year's selection is no disappointment. From exclusive deals to major discounts on your favorite cult products, there's a holiday gift set for everyone out there.
The selection can be a little overwhelming, so it's important to narrow down your selection to the exact products you're looking for. Hair-product junkie? There's a set for that. Lipstick aficionado? There's a set for that, too. With brands ranging from Estée Lauder to Beautyblender, almost every cosmetics and beauty company has some limited-edition products out for the holiday season. Here are 16 of my absolute favorites.
1. Lancôme Noel Eye Set
Lancôme Noel Eye Set, $38, Check It Out
Lancôme mascara is beloved for a reason, and the company seriously knows how to do eye makeup. Luckily, Sephora has a holiday-themed eye makeup set just for this occasion. It's a ton of products for the price as well.

It'll arrive in the cutest packaging, too, so there's no need for gift wrap!
