Women Are Swapping Their Boring Water For This Ice Pop Electrolyte Mix!
Holiday makeup gets me excited every year. Maybe that’s because it’s the perfect time to swap my usual neutrals and mattes for glowy highlighters, sparkling shadows, and festive pops of color. I’m not usually one for bold hues, but give me shimmer and glimmer and I’m all in.
I’m also a total sucker for the limited-edition palettes, beauty boxes, and advent calendars that brands release just for this time of year. Whether it’s a mini lip kit tucked in a stocking or an eyeshadow palette bursting with glittery shades, these holiday drops make it so fun to experiment and play.
And just in case you needed a reason to RSVP “yes” to all your Friendsgivings and holiday parties, we’ve rounded up six of our favorite holiday beauty finds. From must-have palettes to luxe giftable sets, these picks bring the sparkle… After all, ’tis the season!
Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte Lipstick ($35)
A red lip is the ultimate holiday accessory: festive, classic, and perfect for mistletoe moments. And this limited-edition L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte from Lancôme’s holiday collection is the luxe, show-stopping red you’ll want on hand for all your seasonal celebrations.
Housed in signature pink synthetic leather, it’s as much a beauty statement as it is a lipstick. The hydrating formula delivers intense color that lasts up to eight hours and is packed with antioxidants for a little skincare boost while you glam up. Swipe it on bold and layer to your heart’s content!
Dior All-in-One Makeup Palette for Eyes, Lips & Face ($152)
Dior’s All-in-One Makeup Palette is exactly what it sounds like: everything you need to create a full-on festive look without juggling a million products.
This limited-edition palette includes four face shades, five eye shades, and four lip colors, so you can mix, match, and experiment to your heart’s content. The gold, star-studded case is etched with the Christian Dior Paris signature, and inside, each powder features celestial star motifs inspired by the circus world Christian Dior adored. It’s totally gorgeous, and it makes getting party-ready feel effortless.
r.e.m. beauty Wicked For Good Glinda Makeup Set ($65)
The countdown to Wicked: For Good is officially on, and r.e.m. beauty’s limited-edition Glinda Makeup Set is the prettiest way to get into character. Inspired by Glinda’s signature shimmer, this set channels all things ethereal and good-with-a-capital-G.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need to get Glinda’s iridescent glow, including a long-wearing duochrome liquid eyeshadow, a hydrating glow stick, a creamy lip liner, and a glossy balm. It’s pure holiday magic!
Lancôme Holiday 2025 Beauty Box Gift Set ($89)
Valued at over $500 but priced under $100, Lancôme’s Holiday Beauty Box is the steal of the season. It’s packed with eight full-size skincare and makeup essentials, plus a 12-shade eyeshadow palette.
Inside are skincare goodies including a full-size Génifique Recovery Serum, Rénergie Peptide Cream, and Crème Radiance Cleanser to give you that signature Lancôme glow, plus makeup must-haves like Juicy Tubes Lip Gloss, Lash Idôle Mascara, and a vitamin-infused lash primer for extra drama. With its yummy jasmine-and-orange-blossom scent, the La Vie Est Belle fragrance is basically a bonus.
NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss Holiday Vault Lip Gloss Set ($20)
A glossy lip just feels right for the holidays, and the added hydration doesn’t hurt in the drier winter months, either. Enter NYX Professional Makeup’s Butter Gloss Holiday Vault, which is a must-have for anyone who loves a high-shine finish.
The limited-edition set includes four fan-favorite shades—Sugar Glass, Crème Brulee, Praline, and Big Spender—plus one ultra-glitzy Bling shade to turn up the sparkle. You can either wear them solo for more of a subtle sheen, or layer the shades together for a custom finish. You’ll be mistletoe-ready either way.
Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Face Palette ($94)
This Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Face Palette might be my favorite of the bunch, because I’m all about glowy skin. The limited-edition collection features six radiant powders for highlighting, bronzing, blushing, and finishing, and comes in three curated colorways.
Each palette blends new and best-selling Ambient Lighting shades to create a soft-focus finish that flatters every skin tone. It’s like having a permanent soft-focus filter IRL.
Each of these beauty sets captures the sparkle and spirit of the season. However you celebrate, let your holiday look shine just as bright!
