6 Best Limited-Edition Holiday Beauty Sets

We’re making our holiday wish list … and checking it twice. While we adore new makeup year-round, something about the festive season makes us want to refresh our collection in favour of a new look (new year, new you, anyone?). Below are some of the limited-edition sets we’re hoping Santa brings us this holiday. —Vicki Duong

essence. Update your mascara collection with four versions of Essence’s best-selling Lash Princess ($16 for a set of four). Whether you’re looking for volume, length or a waterproof formula, this set is ideal for any beauty-lover looking to give their lashes the royal treatment.

charlotte tilbury. Get the iconic Charlotte Tilbury shade, Pillow Talk, in both the lipstick and the liner, in convenient mini-sizes with this charming duo ($30). Available in three different shades for your perfect nude, this set is small but mighty when it comes to making the perfect sculpted pout.

quo beauty. Ideal for when you don’t know someone’s shade or formula preferences, gifting brushes is always a sure-fire hit. We adore this cruelty-free set ($30) from Quo Beauty that will help you (or whoever you gift it to!) achieve the most flawless makeup look. The set includes a powder, angled contour, complexion and buffing brush all housed in an attractive pouch.

fenty beauty. Sometimes what we love most about the holidays is how it’s around for a limited time only, much like the Resting Peach Duo ($33) from Fenty Beauty. A trendy peach-hue is only available in this limited edition set featuring a full-sized of their cream blush and a mini cream gloss that pairs well together or with your existing makeup.

danessa myricks beauty. Give them a gift that can be used in multiple ways with this trio ($40) from Danessa Myricks Beauty. This set includes three easy-to-pair shades of their cream pigment that can be used on eyes, cheeks and lips while leaving a highly pigmented finish. Our fave shade in the trio is Latte, a pink matte that is ideal for creating a monochromatic look.

glossier.When it comes to gift sets, Glossier knows good value. This holiday season they’ve unveiled a new lip trio ($57) in a limited edition shade, Cranberry. Think of it as your lips, but merrier, this set features all of Glossier’s tinted lip products to create the best festive pout, whether you’re reaching for a gloss, lipstick or balm.
