As the festive season approaches, the beauty world is buzzing with limited-edition launches perfect for gifting or treating yourself. Our team has been busy testing dozens of new products, and we've narrowed it down to three standout holiday beauty collections that truly delivered.
Charlotte Tilbury's Mini Viral Beauty Icons
The iconic brand Charlotte Tilbury has released a holiday set that is a dream for both avid fans and beauty newcomers. The Mini Viral Beauty Icons kit is a curated collection of four bestselling products in travel-friendly mini sizes.
The set includes the renowned Beauty Light Wand in Pinkgasm, a travel-size version of the AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray, a mini Pillow Talk Matte Revolution lipstick, and a matching mini Pillow Talk Lip Cheat liner.
Our testers found the shades to be universally flattering, working on a wide range of skin tones. The miniature sizes are not only adorable but incredibly practical, easily fitting into the smallest clutch for holiday parties. Priced at $73, it's an ideal starter kit for those curious about the brand's most viral products.
Rhode's Scented Peptide Lip Tint Set
Hailey Bieber's beloved brand, Rhode, has launched a limited-edition set that is causing a stir. The Scented Peptide Lip Tint Set offers a sweet twist on their classic shades, infusing each tint with a delicious, decadent scent.
The set includes four of the brand's popular lip shades: Ribbon, Toast, Raspberry Jelly, and Espresso. Our testers were particularly enamored, with the pink-taupe hue Toast emerging as the universal favorite. The combination of a peptide formula, a sheer wash of color, and a yummy scent made this set an instant hit.
For $108, you get four full lip products, representing a savings compared to buying them individually. It's a delectable treat for the lips that perfectly captures the indulgent spirit of the season.
Tatcha's Coveted 12 Days of Treasures Advent Calendar
Fan-favorite skincare brand Tatcha has released a holiday advent calendar that is already selling out at major retailers. The 12 Days of Treasures Advent Calendar is a luxurious collection of 12 of the brand's bestselling skincare products in mini sizes.
The lineup is impressive, featuring mini versions of: The Camellia Cleansing Oil; The Rice Wash; The Matcha Cleanse; The Essence; The Silk Serum; The Dewy Serum; The Dewy Skin Cream; The Water Cream; The Silk Cream; The Indigo Overnight Repair; The Silk Peony Melting Eye Cream; and the Kissu Lip Mask.
Our team confirms that this calendar is worth the hunt. It offers a fantastic introduction to the Tatcha universe for newcomers and provides perfectly sized travel companions for skincare devotees. If you miss out on this $297 calendar, the brand has other holiday sets available, but snagging this one is a true coup.
These three holiday launches from Charlotte Tilbury, Rhode, and Tatcha represent the best of the season, combining thoughtful curation, luxurious formulas, and gift-ready packaging.
