I am a contributor who has been writing for Buzzfeed Shopping for five years by finding fashion, beauty, and home products to help you ~romanticize~ your life.

1. A lightweight hair oil from Ouai to help with frizz control. You're going to get so many compliments on how glossy and smooth your hair looks after just a few spritzes. It can also protect your hair from heat styling and help prevent your freshly colored locks from fading.

Ulta

Promising review: "It's amazing. My hair stylist recommended this product. I was looking for an oil to help my damaged ends from highlights. This did not disappoint. Lightweight, not greasy, nice smell. My hair is so soft. Highly recommend." —Danielle B. 

Price: $18+ (available in two sizes) 

2. A Carolina Herrera Good Girl hair mist, because you've been thinking about how good this would smell in your hair. Tis' the season for smelling good and capturing the eyes (and nose!) of that hot stranger across the room. It has notes of jasmine, tuberose, almond, tonka bean, and coffee, which are sure to earn you a free drink. 

Ulta

Promising review: "Never had more compliments on a perfume. I wear it to work and get told every day how good I smell. I can't recommend it enough!" —Bryce

Price: $45 

3. Or a Cécred hair perfume, so your tresses smell incredible despite you not having time to wash your hair because you're so tired from all the holiday cheer. TBH, I think being told, "You smell so good!" is one of the best compliments you could receive. You'll love how it refreshes your locks between washes and smells like a woodsy floral! 

Ulta

Promising review: "I needed a nicely scented fragrance for my hair, and 5-star reviews convinced me that this was worth trying. I am so glad I did. This is a beautifully done hair fragrance. It's light but heavy enough for others to notice, and it has great staying power. I smell it on my hoodie from the night before. WOW! This is a beautiful fragrance. Will highly recommend and will purchase. I would love to have this as a perfume." —HIS GIRL

Price: $54

4. A stunning Fenty three-layered lip gloss to keep your lips uber-kissable year-round (New Year's Eve is approaching, after all). This gloss has layers of brown, pink, and white, like Neapolitan ice cream, but it will leave your lips a stunning dusty rose. 

Ulta

Price: $24

5. A set of five cute mini makeup brushes that comes in a pink bag charm, because it will be so handy for travel or even for keeping on hand for touch-ups between work and happy hour. Travel-friendly and super cute, BRB — I am adding these to my cart. 

Ulta

There are two complexion brushes, one concealer brush and two eye brushes. They also come with a case. 

Price: $58 

6. A mascara-serum hybrid if your lashes could use a little zhuzhing. This does double duty by being the perfect finishing touch for your no-makeup makeup look while also nourishing and conditioning your lashes with ingredients like black bean extract, centella asiatica, and vitamin E.

Ulta

Price: $25

7. Or a set of Grande Lash's serum, in case you'd like to level up your lashes in the next couple of months, mostly so you can bat them at everyone and get your way, no matter the situation. 

Ulta

Price: $69 for two

8. A mini Neom gift setwith magnesium body butter and bath milk, so you can have your chillest night ever. Both of these beauties feature a combination of lavender, chamomile, and patchouli to zen you out. 

Ulta

Price: $23

9. A15-minute pamper kitinspired by Frida Kahlo, because sometimes you only have a half-hour to treat yourself. This comes with a ton of goodies that'll make your self-care routine so much more fun!

Ulta

This set includes a hair mask, an eye mask, three types of sheet masks, a hand mask, and a foot mask. It also comes with a surprise Frida Kahlo-inspired goodie! 

Price: $20 (available in three designs)

10. A delicious-smelling body balm that your skin will drink up! It is thick and non-greasy and has star ingredients like mango seed butter (to leave your skin soft), turmeric extract (calming and soothing), squalane oil (to help with hydration), and baechu biome complex (to help with your skin barrier).

Ulta

I love these so much! I usually use this post-shower, and it leaves my skin smelling so great and feeling super soft. 

Promising review: "I love Voesh products. The nourishing body balm specifically is gold. I get so many compliments on my skin now. I never received compliments in the past, so I know it's working. It moisturizes without feeling oily or greasy, and the scents are luxurious. It just feels and smells like I'm at a resort. The black tea and rose is one of my favorite scents in this lineup." —Jennifer

Price: $25 (available in four scents) 

11. A bottle of Megan Thee Stallion's Hot Girl Summer perfume, because you want to feel like it's Hot Girl Summer all year long. This smells like the woody floral of your dreams, with notes of coconut milk, orchid, and vetiver.  

Ulta

Promising review: "Really good for layering. It's a creamy amber vanilla with warm floral notes, pretty strong, and lasted all day. I added a bit of Vaseline to the areas I spray, and it lasted well into the next day. I will be going back for the full size!"—FazzFreddysFarthole

Price: $29+ (available in two sizes)

12. An unscented overnight hand and foot mask to boost your skin's hydration. This uses shea butter, glycerin, panthenol, and squalane, which can help soothe your skin and keep it hydrated. 

Ulta

Promising review: "For years I've struggled with dry and cracked hands. Year-round, I suffered from extremely deep cuts in my skin, making simple things excruciatingly painful. I've been using this product for a week with gloves that Paume sells, and I am extremely impressed by the results. My hands are back to normal. No dry spots, cracks, or bleeds. This is one of those products that I will purchase for a lifetime. I absolutely recommend this product, and I am so grateful for it!" —Taylor 

Price: $40

13. A couple of pairs of fuzzy socks that are aloe-infused because your feet need a little bit of TLC when the temps start to drop. These also have vitamin E that helps moisturize your feet, and not to mention, they are ~soo~ cozy. 

Ulta

Promising review: "I love these so much that I bought six pairs. They're such a little luxury; I look forward to putting them on every night. Usually, fluffy socks make my feet sweat (which I hate), but somehow these don't." —3lli3

Price: $15 for two pairs

14. A set of Rare Beauty eye patches that'll cool, smooth, and hydrate your under-eye area, despite you staying up all night trying to decide what to get for your in-laws for Christmas. They have a combo of caffeine (to brighten and smooth), green tea extract (to soothe and calm), hyaluronic acid (to hydrate), and cacao seed (to help your skin barrier). 

Ulta

This comes with a set of eight patches. 

Promising review: "I never write reviews on things, but I need the whole world to know about these. I'm a new grad nurse, flip-flopping between days and nights, and my eyes have felt so tight and swollen recently. I decided to give these a shot (even though I never really liked the eye patch trend bc of how slimy) and I'm so, so glad I did. They have this like cooling effect that actually feels like I put like peppermint oil under my eyes but without the burning! I notice the puffiness go down and my eyes feel so much better. THANK YOU, SELENA!!!" —erick

Price: $25

15. A Natasha Denona eyeshadow palette if you've been eyeing one of these forever! With five neutral everyday hues, these are super smooth and uber-pigmented. What more could you want? Plus, they are so awesome for travel! 

Ulta

Promising review: "I've been searching for a palette for my wedding. I've tried a bunch of palettes. I really liked the Mario Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals, but didn't need all those shades and couldn't justify the cost. This palette is perfect!! It's really easy to use for a beginner, easy to blend, easy to add some intensity, and a good price point. I'd like more brands doing these small curated palettes for the novices out there." —Holly 

Price: $29 (available in two styles)

16. A Sunday Riley all-in-one lactic acid treatment that'll exfoliate, brighten, and plump your skin. When it comes to ingredients, it has a lot of actives, including soothing arnica and prickly pear extract; lactic acid, which hydrates and exfoliates your skin; licorice to brighten; and, finally, lemongrass to tone. 

Ulta

Promising review: "Would give it 10 stars if I could. I have oily skin. On days where my skin feels rough, I put it on before bed and notice the next morning it's so much smoother and healthy feeling. My skin is brighter and looks more plump. I love it!!" —Jules

Price: $50+ (available in three sizes)

17. A Marc Jacobs mini perfume gift set, because they are so freaking cute! As if their packaging didn't already suggest it, they both feature light floral notes. Did I mention the bottles are so pretty and would look super chic on your vanity?

Ulta

Promising review: "Even though it is slightly expensive, it is totally worth every cent. They are so cute and tiny, and they smell amazing! If you are looking for a little tester, then I would totally recommend this!!" —Cate

Price: $34 

18. A Sacheu lip kit, so your lips look perfect under the mistletoe. It includes their viral lip liner that you apply, let dry, and peel off, then layer their velvety lip definer on top for a satin finish. 

Ulta

Price: $25 

19. Or a MAC x Doja Cat nude lip comboto make your lips look red-carpet-ready. MAC lipstick will nourish and condition your lips, and that moisture can last up to eight hours! The texture of the liner will have you asking why you didn't buy this years ago.

Ulta

Price: $30

20. A Touchland spray hand sanitizerbecause it's just so fancy-looking! Not only does this kill germs, but it also helps give your skin a hydrated glow while revitalizing and firming it. 

Ulta

Promising review: "Rosewater is my absolute favorite, especially because it doesn't smell sharp with alcohol like the rest do in the $10 range. It's moisturizing, and the scent is to die for! Smells like rose water with a touch of berry sweetness to it. I simply can't get enough. Amazing. They are slightly more expensive, but I think they're more moisturizing. Real treat for my dry hands." —Daria

Price: $16 

21. A mini gel manicure set, so you can finally try your ~hand~ at all those nail designs you've saved on Pinterest. These combine the base coat, the color, *and* the top coat all in one bottle! Plus, it comes with a mini curing LED light. How cool is that? 

Ulta

This includes a polish, a nail file, a cuticle pusher, a standing block, a mini LED lamp, and a USB cord. It also comes with 10 nail-remover wipes and two nail-cleansing pads. 

Promising review: "So good! I've never been able to do my own nails, but this looks professional! And it's cheaper for the entire kit than one polish change! I got pearlescent and have gotten so many compliments. I haven't tried to remove it yet, but it's lasted two weeks so far!" —J

Price: $38 (available in eight colors) 

22. An iconic Clinique Black Honey tinted lip balm in a bedazzled tube, because every step of your beauty routine deserves to feel this glamorous. This viral lippie is touted for its buildable color and ability to look good on all skin tones.

Ulta

Price: $29 

23. An R.e.m. beauty eyeshadow palette that'll easily slip into your own stocking. This set is buildable and pigmented and comes in sweet ballet-inspired hues, so it's perfect for channeling your inner Sugar Plum Fairy. 

Ulta

Promising review: "Absolutely adore this palette! The eyeshadows are so buttery soft and go on so smoothly. The glitter doesn't feel grainy at all, and it lasts all day long! Love love love." —Kylie

Price: $44

24. A Snif gift set featuring their viral Crumb Couture scent because it's been on your wish list so many times and you have yet to get it! (Honestly, same.) It smells like almond, powdered sugar, vanilla, and croissant, making it a great scent for cozy weather. 

Ulta

This comes with a full-size bottle and a mini!

Promising review: "I absolutely looooooove this fragrance! The scent is perfect for fall, and it stacks well with another one of my favorite fragrances. I sprayed it on the same night I purchased and my family couldn't stop telling me how great i smelled. I went to brush my hair the next morning and could still smell this perfume! In my opinion, the price point is awesome for such a quality product. Will definitely be purchasing again and again!!!!" —Jas

Price: $75

25. A L'Occitane shea butter lotion for your hands, since winter is historically rough on the skin. Shea butter excels at nourishing and protecting, and it also showcases honey, which can soothe dry skin. Last but not least, it has almond oil, which softens and nourishes. 

Ulta

Promising review: "This is literally the best hand lotion hands down! Especially during the winter, it's really moisturizing and not greasy, absorbs really quickly, and leaves my hands soft! It smells like baby powder; definitely will be repurchasing!" —Kay 

Price: $14+ (available in two sizes)

26. A Tatcha moisturizer duo, so you can try them both instead of just one. This comes with a dewy moisturizer and the water cream. Both will hydrate and smooth your skin, which is much needed as we head into the colder months.  

Ulta

Promising review: "I have used many different types of moisturizer, some very expensive, but they have never given me the results I have gotten using this one. My face feels so hydrated and smooth; I just LOVE this product! Ladies with mature skin should definitely try it. I'm 62 years old and will only use this forever." —Augie

Price:$34

27. A Skin 1004 double cleansing duo, because you've been wanting to explore the world of double cleansing, and now's the time to finally dive in. Centella is the main active ingredient, which helps smooth and gets you one step closer to achieving the coveted "glass skin" look.

Ulta

It has a cleanser and an ampoule. 

Promising review: "This double cleanser duo is AMAZING. My skin has never been so clear and smooth. Skin 1004 is my holy grail; none of their products have ever failed me. On top of this cleansing duo, I use the moisturizer. All three products are amazing." —M
