The bi-annual Beautylish Gift Card Event is officially here, and it’s one of those rare beauty shopping moments you don’t want to miss. From now until October 27, 2024, at 11:59 PM PST, you’ll earn a $20 gift card for every $100 spent site-wide. Whether you’re restocking holy grails, testing new launches, or getting ahead of holiday gifting, this is the perfect time to shop wisely.
To simplify the decision-making process, I’ve rounded up a curated edit of standout products across categories—each one tested, loved, and worth every penny.
Complexion Essentials
Let’s start with the basics: a flawless canvas.
- Glamcor Riki Pretty Mirror – The vanity essential you didn’t know you needed. With adjustable spectrum lighting, a magnifying mirror, and even a phone mount, it makes daily makeup application feel like a professional experience.
- BY TERRY Hyaluronic Serum Concealer – A true skincare-meets-makeup hybrid. I’ve been rotating between 8 Golden Nude, 9 Amber Nude, and 11 Deep Tan—the first two to even out my skin tone, and the deepest as a natural, sculpting contour. The result? Fresh, hydrated, and polished skin that lasts the day.
Cheeks That Glow
The cheek category is brimming with gems this season:
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked “Evil Eye” Palette – Six versatile powders to bronze, blush, set, and highlight. Portable, sturdy, and endlessly flattering for light-to-tan complexions.
- Sonia G. Mini Keyaki Brush Set – If travel is on your agenda, this set is your carry-on BFF. Compact yet powerful, it makes flawless application effortless on the go.
- Sisley-Paris L’Orchidee Highlighting Blush (Shade 1) – A long-standing favorite in my stash. This bronzy apricot hue pulls double duty as blush and bronzer while imparting a soft, radiant glow.
Perfectly Curated Sets
If gifting is on your mind—or if you just love a good value—sets are the way to go.
- Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Icons On the Go – A neutral-lover’s dream. With a lip liner, lipstick, highlighter, and cream eyeshadow all in the iconic Pillow Talk shade, this four-piece collection is universally flattering and perfect for everyday wear.
Skincare & Self-Care
Luxurious yet practical—these picks make every routine a little more indulgent.
- Slip Skinny Silk Scrunchies Ornament (Paige) – A stocking stuffer that actually gets used. Gentle, chic, and perfect for daily wear.
- Albion Flora Drip – A Japanese beauty classic that drenches skin in hydration while boosting glow instantly.
- Pretti 5 Night Mask – A newer discovery that impressed me with its restorative overnight results.
- U Beauty The Sculpt Neck + Décolleté Concentrate – Fragrance-free, effective, and targeted toward one of the most delicate areas we often neglect.
- The Beauty Chef Debloat & Digest Well – Beauty from the inside out. This supplement promotes gut health and visibly reduces bloating for a flatter, more comfortable stomach.
Eyes That Mesmerize
I’ve kept this category tight—two standouts that do it all.
- Chantecaille Eye Duet in Jasmine – A perfect neutral duo: one matte, one metallic, both in taupe-bronze tones that are endlessly wearable.
- Natasha Denona Roxa Palette – For those craving a punch of color, this palette delivers buttery mattes and shimmering metallics in shades that make green and brown eyes truly pop.
Luxe Lips
Finally, no beauty edit is complete without lips—and this season’s offerings are next-level.
- Sisley-Paris Lipliner in #6 Chocolat – My most-used lip liner ever (I’ve gone through three). A rich, warm brown that pairs beautifully with pinks, nudes, and neutrals alike.
- Chantecaille Lip Cristal in Pink Topaz – A breathtaking beige-rosewood with a refined metallic sheen. Think reflective without glittery fallout.
- Natasha Denona Hy-Gen Tinted Lip Masks – The best of both worlds: deep conditioning plus a sheer wash of glossy color.
- Anna Sui Everlasting Rouge – For matte lovers, this creamy formula balances high pigment with long wear, all while keeping lips comfortable. The shade range is wearable yet unique—a rare feat.
