The GIF-tastic Guide to 5 Coveted Holiday Gifts

Smith & Cult has legions of loyal fans already, even though it just made its debut in August. The opaque lacquers and glitter polishes glide on the nail evenly and have spunky names to boot. Would you expect anything less from the woman who founded our '90s addiction, Hard Candy?

You'll be swooning over the brand's gold glitter polish, Shattered Souls ($18). Unlike some glitter polishes, it creates somewhat of a gold-flake effect, and it doesn't appear sandy or sparse. Instead, it's a mix of shimmer, glitter, and sequins, which creates the perfect reflective quality.

The brush creates the perfect fan effect, so you get precise application, whether you're attempting an ombré look, french tip, or allover color. Plus, all of the lacquers are five-free.

Karl Lagerfeld has been a devoted fan of Shu Uemura for years, even using Shu's eye pencils in his sketches. Choupette Lagerfeld is, quite possibly, the most spoiled cat in the land, which is why it made purr-fect sense to collaborate on the Shupette for Shu Uemura collection. We're especially keen on the Shupette Has-It-All Eye & Lip Palette ($89).

One thing you can count on with Shu Uemura: there's plenty of pigment to go around! No sissy shadows here. If it's good enough to create gorgeous sketches for Mr. Lagerfeld, you know it's going to pop on your own peepers.

This palette has six lip shades and eight eye shadows and comes in a furry pouch. So whether you're shopping for a fashion fiend or a cat lady, this gift has you covered.

The perfect luxurious stocking stuffers come from Dolce & Gabbana Beauty's Make Up Collector's Edition.

This bronzer looks sparkly upon first glance, but that's just a mask it's wearing. Once you've gotten through the top layer of shimmer, the bronzer is revealed as a matte shade. Personally, we love the gold and red compact. Take it out to check out your makeup and expect a chorus of "oh, you fancy, huh?"

The bronzer is imprinted with a coin featuring Greek goddess Athena, who represents wisdom and courage. Give this to your jet-setting friends or someone who wants to travel the world.

If you try on as many lipsticks as we do, you can feel the difference between a so-so lipstick and a magnificent formula within the first three seconds. Dolce & Gabbana's lipstick is one of those special products that not only looks good but feels good, too. (Like butter, to be exact.) Real Red is, in fact, a true red — no need to worry about orange or blue reds — so it complements every skin tone.

Speaking of lipstick, we couldn't say no to Urban Decay's Full Frontal Lipstick Stash ($39). It's too sexy for its own good. Plus, UD fans, you'll love this: it comes with six travel-size 'sticks!

The stash also comes with Ozone, the invisible lip liner that prevents feathering and mattifies your lipstick when you apply it all over your lips, preapplication.

The shades include three cult classics (like Gash!) plus three brand-new shades: Ladyflower (a bright rose-pink), Crush, and Illicit (a sheer baby pink).

Dream a little dream of gorgeous hair? Sick of spending $100 a week on blowouts? Dream Dry's Little Black Box ($295), from one of the top blow-dry salons in New York City, comes with the lightweight Dream Dryer, which is used in all of the salons.

This thing is quiet and quick. (If you've ever blown out your hair, you know that both qualities are essential yet rare in blow dryers.) In addition to the Satin Onyx Dream Dryer, it also comes with Dream Detangler, a brush that ensures you won't break your hair off, and the Dream Turban. This turban saves lives. (We might be exaggerating.) Using it to dry your hair helps get rid of excess moisture for a quicker blow dry and reduces tangles and frizziness.
