►Holiday gift guides 2022: Shop for everyone on your list with this ultimate gift guide

Many deal with chapped lips, season aside, but the lip masks in the Laneige Sweet Dream Trio aim to keep lips feeling smooth and moisturized. This set includes three versions of the TikTok-viral lip mask, including a full-size edition of the original Lip Sleeping Mask in "Berry" and two mini-sized iterations of the treatment in the confection-themed flavors "Peppermint" and "Pumpkin Spice."

Getting fuller, voluminous lips is as easy as purchasing the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Beautifying Lip Kit. It includes four of the brand’s most buzzy lip products in the beloved mauve-pink shade called “Pillow Talk.”

The set includes a travel-sized version of the Matte Revolution Lipstick, Collagen Lip Bath (a gloss-like balm), Lip Cheat Lip Liner and a full-size tube of the Hyaluronic Happikiss Lip Balm. Don’t wait on scooping this up: Last year’s iteration sold out before many makeup gift sets!

The holidays are the perfect time to splurge on an item your special someone has always wanted. Dyson’s Vinca Blue and Rosé Holiday Airwrap Set is likely at the top of many beauty lovers’ wish lists this year.

Though it’s a hefty investment—$600, to be exact—our tester confirms that it’s worth every penny. “The whole styling process takes me about 20 minutes from start to finish and I’m always left with a voluminous, bouncy blowout,” she wrote. This limited-edition Airwrap also comes in a special hue of cobalt blue, known as “Vinca Blue.”

As the days get colder, your skin may need a change, and the three products included in the Biossance Love, Joy & Bestsellers Set are committed to keeping your skin in check all winter long. Our tester, who’s tried all three of these, says her favorite item from Biossance is the Squalane + Omega Repair Cream, a moisturizer that she says keeps her skin hydrated, gives it a “dewy” finish and minimizes the appearance of fine lines.

She also loves the Squalane + Vitamin C Oil in this kit, which she thought evened out her skin tone and made her skin feel “firmer.” The brand’s Squalane + Lactic Acid Resurfacing Night Serum also claims to deliver on giving skin a healthy glow, with our tester finding that she woke up with glowing skin after applying it the night before. Despite anti-aging ingredients like exfoliants, the brand claims its products work for all skin types—normal, dry, combination or oily.

Whether your hair has split ends or feels dry, the four products featured in the Olaplex Hair Repair Treatment Kit aim to ease any hair-related damage on all hair types and textures. The kit consists of four of the brand’s top-rated products: the split end-alleviating No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector, the hair-strengthening No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Hair Treatment and the hydrating No. 4 and No. 5 Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner.

Every once in a while, us skincare fanatics need a reset on our routines just because, you know… we want to try everything. Drunk Elephant’s Trunk 6.0 skincare gift set should be on your radar if you want to treat your loved one to full-size products from a fan-favorite brand.

The set includes 10 products, such as the popular skin-smoothing T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial and the skin-brightening C-Firma Fresh Day Serum. Bonus: The products come in a 20-quart insulated cooler, which you could use as a skincare fridge or as an actual beverage holder.

Regardless of how much sleep you get, it’s quite possible to get bright under eyes thanks to the light-reflecting sheen created by the products found in the Tula Skincare Balmy & Bright AM/PM Eye Balm Duo. Each under-eye stick is infused with hyaluronic acid to hydrate and peptides to minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Better yet, thanks to their radiant sheen, they also double as highlighters. Swipe the sticks under your eyes, onto the high points of your face and anywhere else you want a beautiful glow.

If you ask us, Sol de Janeiro makes some of the best body care products. The Beija Flor Duo Set features two of the brand’s top-notch products: the Beija Flor Elasti-Cream and the Brazilian Crush Cheirosa ’68 Beija Flor Hair & Body Fragrance Mist.

When trying both products for Reviewed, I noticed their alluring aroma isn’t your typical powdery floral—it’s more like, to quote myself, “a mix of freshly-picked flowers with a whiff of that cologne the guy you like is always wearing.” To my delight, the scent lasts all day long. The moisturizing cream not only delivers on its hydrating claims, but wraps the body in a strong, floral scent.

With the start of a new year on the horizon, why not treat yourself or the makeup fanatic in your life to some new cosmetic goodies? A great place to start is the La Fête Édition Gift Set from Merit. The limited edition holiday gift set contains five of the brand's products: the Signature Lip Lightweight Lipstick in "Aperitif" (bright red), the Brow 1980 Volumizing Pomade in "Neutral" (light brown), the Great Skin Instant Glow Serum, Clean Lash Volumizing and Lengthening Mascara in "Black" and the Day Glow Highlight Balm in "Bounce" (rose gold). Glowy skin and a bright pout are a click away!

The process of finding a signature scent isn’t dissimilar to finding romance—you’ll have to put your nose through several sniffing sessions in order to find the one. To make the olfactory speed dating stage less daunting, the beauty emporium has put together the Sephora Favorites Mini Perfume Sampler Set, which includes five popular fragrances.

The sampler offers brands like Viktor and Rolf, Carolina Herrera and Valentino. After choosing their favorite, your loved one can turn in the included perfume voucher for a travel-size fragrance at Sephora.

For many, having several makeup products can feel like too much, so why not have a palette that can doll up the whole face? The powder-based Hourglass Cosmetics Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Palette is made up of six color swatches that can be used as finishing powder, blush and highlighter.

The makeup gift comes in three different colorways to suit different skin tones and features illustrations of butterflies, tigers and an elephant on the limited-edition packaging. “Butterfly” is ideal for light complexions, “Elephant” fares best with medium skin tones and “Tiger” works well on deep complexions.

Walk into any place you buy makeup and you'll find just as many makeup brushes to choose from as makeup products. The Real Techniques Everyday Essentials Makeup Brush Set streamlines the process of finding brushes for the eyes and face thanks to the four brushes and makeup sponge included in this set.

This Reviewed-approved makeup brush bundle earned a stamp of approval from our tester for a few reasons. When it came to the dome-shaped Expert Face Brush, our tester noticed that her “liquid foundation looked smooth and streak-free” post-application while the fluffy-bristled 402 Setting Brush deposited an even amount of setting powder, blush and bronzer across her face. Last but not least, she found the small dome-shaped brush “deposited exactly the quantity of eyeshadow” she wanted.

Want a sleek blowout without breaking the bank? The BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Dryer featured in the BaBylissPRO Nano Titanium Dryer + 1'' Flat Iron Set is Reviewed’s best hair dryer pick because it “gives a sleek blowout and is comfortable to use with its variety of heat and speed settings and lightweight build,” according to our tester.

Time is precious, especially when getting ready in the morning, and our beauty editor confirmed that this dryer gives a bouncy blowout within a matter of 20 minutes. You can also touch up your strands with the 1” Flat Iron, which promises to reduce frizz and endow locks with a shiny sheen.

With so many beauty products out there these days, it can be hard to narrow down which ones to put your money towards. The Boxycharm Box, however, can do the picking for you—thanks to a very detailed survey—on a monthly basis.

After receiving two boxes to test for Reviewed, our beauty editor was impressed with the subscription box’s inclusion of five full-size products in both, given that “one product alone cost more than the box itself, making this box an amazing value,” she wrote. But if you’re not satisfied with what you’re getting, you can always cancel your subscription on Boxycharm’s website in a matter of minutes.

Does your (or yours truly’s) idea of relaxation involve lounging in the bathtub? If you’re looking to take your soak experience up a notch, look no further than the LifeAround2Angels Bath Bombs. Our bath bomb tester adored this 12-piece bath bomb set for a few reasons, emphasizing how the blue-tinted sphere called “Angel” diffused well throughout the bath (not to mention that it didn’t stain the tub), gave off a mild, pleasant fragrance and made her skin feel soft post-bath.
