Doesn’t it seem like we just had Christmas/Hannukkah/Kwanzaa?
Yet here we are again, so we’ve compiled some of our favorite beauty finds this year, which will make you the gifting hero.
HAIR OBSESSED
Pureology’s new sets are perfect for that girlfriend (or boy-friend) who is all about their fair locks. Pictured is the Hydrate Holiday Gift Set, which leaves your hair nourished and oh, so shiny. ($74.)
HAIR TOOLS
One of our real finds this year was MINT’S S-WAVER (read Donna’s full review here) which gives you that I-spent-the-day -at-the- beach look. Who doesn’t want to look like a beautiful mermaid?

SKINCARE
Dr. Althea’s 345 Relief Cream Mist is a big seller for a reason. Refreshing dual-layer mist delivers instant hydration while soothing sensitive and redness-prone skin. ($16.92)

BEST BEAUTY GADGET
Korean Medicube Booster Pro
One of our beauty editors, Allison, reviewed the buzzy new gadget that promises to give you ‘glass skin.’
“I’ve been using the Medicube Booster Pro Mini ($96) for a few weeks, and it’s become a surprisingly addictive step in my skincare routine. It uses electroporation, which sounds intense but is actually completely painless and non-invasive. Brief electrical pulses create tiny channels in the skin, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. This means ingredients like hyaluronic acid or peptides can reach deeper layers, improving hydration, reducing redness, and boosting glow.”
BEST FOUNDATION
The K-beauty brand TIRTIR has earned a reputation for its now viral ‘cushion foundation’, which comes in THIRTY shades.
Named the ‘Mask Fit Red Foundation,‘ we like that it delivers full coverage with a natural, semi-matte finish. The lightweight formula blends seamlessly, concealing our sun spots and evening skin tone while keeping your skin nourished.
Best of all, it really lasts all day. Read more.
