Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint
This one is on my wish list, BUT I do own one of her stunna lip paints in the shade buff (the nude one obviously). Normally, I don't like liquid lipsticks because I find them to be super drying and uncomfortable. My lips are always dry, but especially in the winter months. The Laneige lip mask has been my best friend. That said, I love this formula! It's actually comfortable and does not budge, which is what you want in a red lipstick (usually red lips scare me because it tends to get on my teeth and even places where you wouldn't think you could get lipstick). I love the applicator because it makes it super easy to apply. And can we just talk about this packaging?I

Fenty Diamond Bomb Highlight
Yes, another Fenty Beauty item but let's be honest, Rihanna really can't do any wrong. I'm usually not a fan of glittery highlights because well, I'm 36 years old. This is such a pretty wet looking highlight though. It's just stunning and guaranteed to get you noticed at that holiday party.

And while I'm at it you also need the gloss bomb in diamond milk. It makes your lips look juicy and ready to be kissed under the mistletoe.
Huda Beauty Obsessions Eyeshadow Palettes
I've probably mentioned these adorable little palettes before, but I just love them. The are so pretty, the formula is great, they make awesome stocking stuffers and are easy to travel with due to being so teeny.

Stila Magnificent Metals
To me, nothing celebrates the birth of Jesus like some glitter on your eyes. The Stila Magnificent Metals are amazing because they are really easy to work with, they look so beautiful, you don't need a glitter glue or adhesive and unlike with loose glitters, you won't be like why is there glitter in my ear? No mess, just prettiness. Sephora is offering some great sets so you should check those as well to get more bang for your buck and more glitter for your eyeballs.
Melt Cosmetics Smokey Obsessions
https://www.meltcosmetics.com/collections/smoke-sessions/products/smoke-sessions-palette?variant=13732267753524
Whether you're celebrating Hannukah, Christmas or the fact that weed is legal in California, this is a green eyeshadow lovers dream. Sadly, this is sold out so I haven't been able to get my sticky little hands on it. Dear Melt Cosmetics, please restock this palette asap! I do own the Gemini palette, which I'm obsessed with so that is another great option if you want your eyes to look like a grungy Christmas tree (and who doesn't want that?)
Natasha Denona Gold Palette
https://www.sephora.com/product/gold-eyeshadow-palette-P436736?keyword=natasha%20denona%20gold%20palette
This is like new years for your eyes. I'm going to be honest, I do not own this palette and I'm most likely never going to own this palette because it's $130. Which is insane. I can tell you though that Natasha Denona shadows are some of the best I've tried so if you have generous relatives or you can afford an eyeshadow palette that costs a small little fortune, this is beautiful.
Pat McGrath BlitzTrance Lipsticks
https://www.sephora.com/product/blitztrance-lipstick-P439070?icid2=products%20grid:p439070:product
Since you have glitter on your eyes and your cheeks, you obviously need some on your lips. Pat McGrath is also ridiculously expensive. $40 for a lipstick is INSANE, but it's the prettiest lipstick you will ever own. I've tried Pat McGrath lip liners and eyeshadows and I can honestly say...they are the BEST. However, if you're looking to try Pat McGrath at a slightly more reasonable price, there is a little lip bundle for $25 and the mini eyeshadow palettes are $55. If you give a makeup lover anything by Pat McGrath they will love you forever. She is queen.
Anastasia Sultry Palette
They don't call this palette Sultry for nothing. If you find yourself stranded in a small town that stopped believing in Christmas, this palette will definitely help you attract the handsome widower who will convince you to leave the big city behind. OK, maybe I'm describing a Hallmark movie, but I own this palette and I love it. Even if I didn't love it, I'd probably keep it on my vanity for the festive packaging but it lives in my top makeup drawer because I really do love it. I also love feeling sultry.

Anstasia Amrezy Highlighter
https://www.sephora.com/product/amrezy-highlighter-P429201
I felt like I couldn't just include one highlight on this list. I do not yet own this highlight, but it's on the way from the North Pole aka Sephora! This was limited edition, but everyone raved about it and bought back ups and people kept begging for it to come back and then it finally came back. So of course I had to have it because I HAVE AN ADDICTION PEOPLE. Just look at her though, she pretty.
Huda Beauty New Nude Palette
https://www.sephora.com/product/the-new-nude-eyeshadow-palette-P43818047
I have one last palette to include because obviously everyone needs 10 eyeshadow palettes, am I right? This palette is so gorgeous and literally everytime I wear it I get compliments. I don't know what Huda put in those spackled shadow things, but they are magic in a pan.
OK, I lied. This palette just launched and I had to include it because...just look at it. It's so beautiful and so holiday and I am so excited to try Linda Hallberg cosmetics. I've heard so many great things and if this is not the most magical and holiday looking palette, I don't know what is.
