Luxe, shiny satin feels so right for the holidays. I love this icy-blue dress.
Xtra Milk, DedCool's beloved amber-musk scent, now comes in a body lotion.
The packaging alone makes this designer lip balm worth the splurge, but the formula is even better. It reacts to your pH, giving your lips a glowy pink tint that's completely unique to you.
If there's a beauty lover in your life who doesn't have this phone case yet, now's the time to get it for them.
Over a decade after its release, I still stand by this iconic (and slightly controversial) mascara.
With notes of sugared violet, sweet vanilla orchid, and warm sandalwood, this body butter is a heavenly treat. Plus, the dreamy whipped formula has hydrating bacuri butter and coconut oil.
Pro tip: Choose a setting powder with a pink tint to instantly brighten up your eyes.
Get that highly-coveted, diffused glow with this blush. There's truly nothing else like it on the market. I admittedly have it in every shade, from Epic (a cool, orchid pink) to Sublime (a deep berry).
Ballet flats are a forever staple. I currently have my eyes on this chic mesh pair.
Your loved ones will feel like royalty when they use this brush from French haircare brand La Bonne Brosse.
One swipe of this tinted lip oil and I was head over heels. I'm currently loving the limited-edition shade, Cherry On The Cake, a sheer pinky red with flecks of shimmer.
Try this blush once, and you'll never go back to your old formula.
Every fashion person I know owns a pair of these sunglasses.
Heaven Mayhem is the jewelry brand on everyone's wish list. I love its modern sculptural jewelry.
This enchanting fragrance deserves a permanent spot in your perfume rotation.
Glow from the inside out with this illuminating gel. I like to mix it with my moisturizer or tinted sunscreen to boost radiance.
This creamy blush blends in effortlessly and gives the most natural, dewy flush. The shade I reach for the most is Sleepy Girl, a gorgeous soft mauve.
I'm still in love with this timeless palette. It has every shade you need to add depth and shimmer to your eyes.
I want to wrap myself in this ivory cashmere sweater all winter long.
I'm gravitating towards warm, musky gourmand fragrances for winter, and this mist checks all the boxes. Plus, I can easily throw it in my bag and take it everywhere with me.
Embossed chocolate-brown croc is the new quiet-luxury material.
