Aside from decorating gingerbread men and getting into snowball fights, one of our favorite Winter pastimes is decorating the Christmas tree. And while most people festoon a fir with standard glass ornaments and tinsel, we beautify the boughs with actual beauty products.
This year, a handful of fabulous brands like Fresh, Too Faced, and L'Occitane are stuffing baubles full of cult formulas. Whether you choose to rock them on your tree or incorporate them into your beauty routine, each item is bound to add more glamour to the holiday season. Read on to shop a few of our favorites.
This glossy lip balm ($19) is packed with supernourishing ingredients like shea butter, sweet almond oil, and cocoa butter to keep your pucker plush, but we're addicted to the formula because of its sweet, minty flavor.
This pint-sized pairing ($15) features a bottle of Caudalie's 100-percent organic Grape Water, a nourishing mist that can be used to hydrate skin or set makeup, and a tube of a lightweight, gel-cream moisturizer.
This vibrant, reusable ornament ($14) is stuffed with three miniature shea butter-infused formulas to keep Winter-worn skin soft and hydrated: soap, hand cream, and body lotion.
This moisturizing trio of lip treatments ($29) includes two of Fresh's classic balms — one clear, one tinted — and a sugar scrub to keep your pucker flake free.
This tiny bottle of dry shampoo ($12) will fit in even the most compact purse, so you can spritz the oil-absorbing, fresh-scented formulas in your strands after a workout or before happy hour. It'll make your hair look so clean, your colleagues will think you got a blowout during your lunch hour.
Three woodsy notes — white pine, fir balsam, and birchwood — are layered with amber and musk to create the festive scent of this gorgeous candle ($16).
This cult-status, multipurpose hair treatment ($15) can be used to style, condition, or add shine to strands. You'll quickly become obsessed with its sweet, woodsy scent.
Tucked inside the rose gold, geometric packaging of this Eve Lom gift ($22) is a pearlescent lip balm that will give your pout a beautiful sheen. It's also loaded with Chinese menthol, so you'll feel refreshed with every application.
Despite its diminutive size, this Too Faced ornament's mascara ($12) boasts the same hourglass-like wand you'd get in the full-sized tube, so you can achieve full, fluttery lashes with one swipe.
This Molton Brown ornament ($15) looks just like the real thing, except it's filled with a sparkling body wash scented with an invigorating blend of elderflower and grapefruit notes.
This iconic fragrance ($18) is loved by women around the world for its light, clean, floral scent. The bitty bottle is only half an ounce, making it a must-pack when traveling.
If you're headed somewhere sunny this holiday season, you should snap up Supergoop!'s ornament offering ($22). It contains the brand's incredible setting spray, which controls oil and protects skin with a veil of SPF 50 and a lip gloss that doubles as a sunscreen for your pout.
While the harlequin-esque print on this Jo Malone ornament ($35) is quite festive, its contents are utterly timeless. You'll receive a jar of rich, grapefruit-scented body cream and a flacon of the brand's popular Peony & Blush Suede perfume.
