16 Holiday Beauty Products To Shop Right Now

by Jessica Thomas

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.

2. Beautyblender's Pretty Posse

Beautyblender Pretty Posse , $41, Aspen Clinique

Every beauty product-lover who doesn't have a Beautyblender has a friend who's obsessed with theirs, so give into the hype and grab this gift set this holiday season. It's full of extra goodies that will make your investment worth it.

3. Clarisonic's Holiday Set

Clarisonic Mia 1 Electric Pink Holiday Gift Set , $97, Bloomingdales

Another cult beauty classic, the Clarisonic Mia 1 will become one of the most-used products in your arsenal. This color is adorable and cheerful. You won't even be annoyed you have to wash your face after a late night out!

4. Origins' Mini Mask Marvels

Origins Mini Mask Marvels , $25, Nordstrom

6. Pureology's Hydrate Holiday Kit

I'm 100 percent obsessed with my Tangle Teezer, and I've converted half of my friends into Tangle Teezer fanatics as well. The brush does a fantastic job of working its way through knotted hair without pulling, and this limited edition holiday-themed color is so festive.

8. Tarte's Deluxe Amazonian Butter Lipstick Set

16. Glossier's Mask Duo Set

Mask Duo Set, $40, Glossier

Glossier became the It beauty brand to follow this year, but many are still unfamiliar with the cool girl skincare and makeup company. Introduce your friends to them with this stylish, but also highly effective Mask Duo Set, which includes six single serving pods of their best-selling detoxifying Mega Greens Galaxy Pack and six packs of their Moisturizing Moon Mask. It'll arrive in the cutest packaging, too, so there's no need for gift wrap!
