Inside this kit from beloved body care brand Sol de Janeiro, you’ll find a trio of its best-selling products: the Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, Brazilian 4 Play Shower Cream-Gel and Brazilian Crush Body Fragrance Mist. All three have the brand’s signature Cheiriosa ‘62 scent with notes of vanilla, salted caramel and pistachio. The decadent aroma alone will win over any giftee.

A trip to the nail salon is no longer a necessity to get gorgeous nails. After testing press-on nails, we at Reviewed crowned Olive & June the best because of their easy application process and variety of designs. Depending on your loved one’s style, you can snag a set with a single polish color on them or go with a funky design, like “Neon Lime French” or “Marble Swirls.” You can also choose the length and shape of the nails.

Sunscreen is a necessity for everyone, every day, and practically every beauty enthusiast will recognize sun care brand Supergoop. This kit contains travel sizes of its three best-selling SPFs for the face or body: the makeup-priming Unseen Sunscreen SPF 40, smoothing Mineral Sheerscreen SPF 30 and moisturizing Play Everyday Lotion SPF 50.

Great hair ties should keep your hair securely out of your face, whether you’re working out or out and about running errands. For this, gift yourself (or a loved one) this six-pack of thin scrunchies from Lululemon. We adore these hair ties because they’re durable and wear comfortably in the hair or on the wrist. Plus, you can choose from neutral or colorful sets.

Earlier this year, Benefit’s Liquid Lip Blush & Cheek Tint had a second coming, thanks to beauty buffs on TikTok. Add this to your loved one’s stocking for a multi-purpose gift that’s sure to please. You have your pick of five red shades that skew more orange- or berry-toned.

We’ve tested our share of hair brushes here at Reviewed, and this unsuspecting Amazon find won us over. UrTheOne’s paddle brush is large enough to tackle large swaths of hair at once and it expertly detangles and rids the hair of any little fuzzies or flakes that stick to strands.

Fragrance connoisseurs will love this set containing five vanilla-scented perfume vials from popular brands. Your giftee has the chance to trial By Rosie Jane’s Dulce Perfume Oil, Floral Street’s Wild Vanilla Orchid, Juliette Has a Gun’s Vanilla Vibes, Nest’s Madagascar Vanilla Perfume Oil and Skylar’s Vanilla Sky. If there’s one they adore above the rest, you know what to get them next holiday season.

Skincare brand Tula is having a moment among skincare enthusiasts. The brand’s most popular two products, The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser and 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream, are all one really needs for a routine that’ll keep the face feeling clean and hydrated—with the addition of a sunscreen in the daytime, of course. You’ll find the best-sellers in mini sizes in this duo.

We put our hands through a lot, from frequent washing to leaving them exposed in cold, dry weather, so  there isn’t a single person who wouldn’t benefit from Reviewed’s favorite hand cream, the Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve. Its creamy formula contains avocado and sesame oils to moisturize, soothe and soften the skin.

Everything Selena Gomez launches via her brand Rare Beauty is an instant hit with fans, and the Kind Words lipstick and lip liner collection was no different. In this travel-size set, you’ll find a mauve-toned waterproof liner to outline and define the lips as well as a matte lipstick to fill them in. Together, these claim to last all day on the lips while providing them with moisture.

Whether your loved one has never tried the BeautyBlender, or exclusively uses it to apply makeup, this set is a must-buy. Not only does it contain the cult-favorite BeautyBlender makeup sponge, it adds a soap to rid it of makeup and a case to keep it clean and allow it to dry between uses. Many makeup lovers will tell you the sponge is a must for a flawless complexion.

Best known for its serums, The Ordinary put together a trio of its highly rated potions. The kit includes the skin-clearing Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%, hydrating Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5 and anti-aging Buffett Multi-Peptide Serum.

The key to great makeup is having the right tools, which means a set of brushes for the face and eyes that help blend and smooth pigments. The makeup brushes in the Real Techniques Everyday Essentials kit are Reviewed-approved because they’re durable, feel soft against the skin and effectively diffuse liquid and powder products. Along with a makeup sponge, the set includes a brush for foundation, powder, eyeshadow and highlighter, though all are multi-purposeful. 

Searching for an eyeshadow-specific kit? Look no further than the brand’s eight-piece Everyday Eye Essentials set that contains brushes for blending in the crease, shading to intensify color on the lid, lining the eyes and combing through lashes.

You’ve probably never seen a hand sanitizer this luxe before. The best part, though? Touchland offers several fruity and herbaceous scents that’ll actually make de-germing appealing. Choose from aromas like “Vanilla Blossom,” “Pure Lavender,” “Watermelon,” “Berry Bliss” and “Sandalwood,” and add one or two to your loved one’s stocking.

Let’s talk practicalities: Everyone needs to trim their nails, and many could use a convenient kit filled with everything they need for that at-home manicure. Housed in a compact carrying case, this Zizzon set has everything necessary, including small and larger nail clippers, cuticle trimmers and cosmetic scissors.

Who doesn’t love a pampering session? To help your favorite beauty lover take self-care to the next level, grab them a few Sephora Collection Clean Face Masks. The brand offers a variety, each with its own purpose, from “quenching and plumping” to “pore perfecting and smoothing.” 

Tarte offers three of its highly rated makeup items in this kit that spans face, eyes and lips. Inside, you’ll find a minis of the Reviewed-approved Tarte Shape Tape Concealer, Maneater Mascara and Maracuja Juicy Lip Balm in the pink shade “Rose.” Just make sure you select which shade of concealer you want—the options range from “fair neutral” to “rich.”

This product is for anyone in your life that relies on dry shampoo because they dread hair-washing days. Not only will this silicone scrubbing brush from Heeta make shampooing more pleasant, it’ll also rid the scalp of product residue (ahem, the dry shampoo). More than 100,000 Amazon reviewers swear by this tool, and it claims to work for all hair types and lengths. 

Staying organized while traveling is a feat, but this petite toiletry case from Bagsmart should help, whether you’re putting it in a suitcase or just in your purse. Its size allows its user to bring their cosmetic necessities without overpacking, and it’s available in several neutral colors to suit your giftee’s style. The inside contains a waterproof liner to avoid stains or spills seeping through.

Perhaps the most random—but life-changing—item on this list is a hair brush cleaner. This tool from Baoa has little prongs that, when you rake them through a hair brush, grab hold of any hair or debris. Lucky for you, they’re sold in a two-pack, so you can hold onto one for yourself and gift the other.
