There’s nothing, and we mean nothing, that we don’t like about this lippie. You could call it a gloss, based on how much of a gorgeous, long-lasting sheen it delivers. It’s not in the least bit sticky and feels completely comfortable and lightweight on lips, more akin to a balm. To that point, it also imparts plenty of moisture, as well as the perfect amount of sheer color. When we tested this, we noted that after a few weeks of use, lips were softer.

Diamond’s may be a girl’s best friend, but this brush, which is the perfect way to keep said diamonds clean and insanely sparkly, is a close second.

Personalized notecards are practical and always appreciated, perfect for having on hand to write thank-yous or send a quick note to a friend. While this set is pricey, the luxe quality can’t be beat, and we love the simple, monogram style printing.
