The rice wash is a beautiful cleanser that is gentle on the skin but still removes all the dirt and impurities. And the dewy serum hydrates the skin and leaves a beautiful dewy finish.

What’s better than 12 gifts in one? This festive advent calendar from Bobbi Brown delivers a new gift each day, from skincare to makeup. Your giftee will be ready for holiday parties and beyond with bestsellers such as the shimmer brick and cream shadow sticks.

What testers say: “I’ve eyed some of the Bobbi Brown items in this set in the full sizes at full price. When this gem popped up, I had to grab it. Now, I can try some of the Bobbi Brown items like the highlighting powder and shimmer brick without the need to commit to the large size or the full prices. I especially was pleased with the long wear cream shadow sticks that were in the ensemble. It was a great way to try the shadow sticks for the first time. I am a fan now of cream shadow sticks and will not go back to powders. This was a great way to try new items, new colors and get out of the rut I was in with my makeup routine. Recommend wholeheartedly.”

Tarte’s gift set is great for a lip gloss fanatic. Not only is it an excellent value with four lip products for the price of the two, but the formulas do so much more than deliver a glossy pout. They’re packed with vitamin E, maracuja, and a superfruit complex to nourish and hydrate. Plus, the shades aren’t sticky and suit most skin tones.

What testers say: “I have been wanting to try these lip products for a while. I was nervous because there were no swatches available for this holiday kit and the colors looked similar. However, I’m glad I looked on the tarte website because they showcase how they look different and it’s stunning. I think it is intended to be two gift items. With that in mind, I still think the variation in formulas is beautiful if you keep all four for yourself. It did not seem like the same exact color on me for each product and the savings for four full size products is insane! I may have to buy more of these in the future!”
