Dyson Airwrap Multi Styler in Ceramic Pop
‘Tis the season to be jolly, and what better way to spark joy than snagging Dyson’s latest styling tool while it’s on sale? The Dyson Airwrap in Ceramic Pop dries hair in a fraction of the time it takes your other hair tools. The top-rated device also styles your hair — it curls, volumizes, enhances curls, and tames flyaways thanks to the included interchangeable attachments.
What testers say: “I have questioned whether this Dyson air wrap was for me for over a year now. I have very long, curly hair, and I truly didn’t believe it could manage the amount of hair I have. This tool is quick, efficient, and leaves my hair frizz-free. I love using it as a style extender on day three or after the gym. Don’t hesitate on this one!”

Too Faced Melted Matte Liquid Lipstick
If you don’t prefer the textures of traditional lipstick, liquid lipsticks are the best alternative, as they dry down quickly and typically have a longer wear time than cream formulas. Our pick? This vibrant red from Too Faced. The formula contains avocado oil, vitamin E, and hyaluronic filling spheres, which keep lips smooth and comfortable all day. The best feature? It stays in place, so you don’t have to worry about the color transferring.
Editor testing and review notes: “Boy do I love wearing a red lip during the holiday season, but it can definitely be intimidating to wear. My first concern is whether it will unknowingly transfer to my lips, leaving me with a stained smile, or if it will smear outside of my lip line and onto my nose or chin. This liquid lip from Too Faced is my go-to for locked-in long wear, especially when I’ll be eating or drinking. I love how smoothly it applies and how comfortable it feels. It won’t dry out your lips — even in the cold weather — and leaves them looking so plush. It’s the perfect vibrant yet dimensional red shade and I can even skip the lipliner step.” — Commerce Writer and Producer Olivia Cigliano

Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette

What testers say: “I bought this as an impulse buy on sale, no regrets! Blends, smooth, great colors — no complaints! I just wish it was smaller and a little more makeup bag-friendly. I don’t really use the brush, so I can comment on that, but it’s a nice add-on!”
