Picking out a beauty gift set can be a gamble. They alwayssound像你划算(你知道,5ems for the price of one), but are you actually?

1. discover Ilia Clean Color

Looking to get into clean beauty? Invest in this set from ILIA. It comes with four everyday staples from the well-known clean beauty brand: a mascara, a nourishing lip color, a highlighter and a lip and cheek stick. One buyer reveals that she bought one for herself and one to give to a friend. At this price point, you can easily do the same.

2. tarte Cosmetics Gilded Gifts 8-piece Collector’s Set

This gift set was specifically created so that you can gift half of it and keep the other half for yourself. Genius. The two included makeup collections are each made up of an eye and cheek palette, an eye shadow brush, a Tarteist Remix Lip Gloss and a Lights, Camera, Lashes 4-in-1 Mascara. Would it be wrong to keep both? That’s what one reviewer did. “I’m keeping both sets because all of the colors suit me in different ways,” she reasons. Enough said.
