English Version | All I want for Xmas

Red shades so intense that outlast the night? Yes, please. Shadows so bright that become a spotlight? Say no more. Our wishlist is not long, but it is filled with gifts that give us license to celebrate. So let's celebrate. Let's celebrate with all the pomp, circumstance, and beauty to which we are entitled.

Fabulous Kiss Marble Lipstick, Carolina Herrera

A list of basic items that should remain on our bag on a party night: house keys, phone, money and, of course, red lipstick. Essential for the most unexpected of occasions, this small wonder product boosts any look, turning every memory into a #flawless moment. Inspired by the festive season, this marbled texture lipstick by Carolina Herrera perfectly dresses the role of Mother Christmas who comes to make all our makeup dreams come true.

Starstruck Light Reflecting Setting Powder, Nars

It’s a veil against imperfections, oiliness and the other disasters that may relate to the flash of a camera – we hope this presentation can do justice to the performance of this Nars' setting powder. The texture of this miracle product is so lightweight and smooth that its application makes it almost invisible. But it is there, working for us, keeping our makeup intact for hours on end. In this starry packaging, it's just even more appetizing.

Duo Lumière Eyeshadow Duo, Chanel

Chanel's festive collection was inspired by one of the most emblematic features of the latest Nº5 eau de parfum campaign: the moon. This mystical element was replicated in several details of this new launch, from the packaging to the names chosen for each of the products, but in this eyeshadow palette it is the moon tones that stand out the most. Its gel texture turns the two shades into a multipurpose product, which can be used on the eyelids, on the cheeks or even on the lashes. 

Empowered Legit Lashes Volume Mascara, Huda Beauty

One of the most classic mascaras in the Beauty world has been dressed itself in gold to be reborn for the Christmas season, taking the form of a dreamy gift that will not disappoint any makeup junkie. Its performance remains intact: the double-tipped brush works both to emphasize volume and to provide a more highlighted look. Huda Beauty has proved once again why it is the hottest name in the industry when it comes to dramatic eyelashes.

Micro-Lift Orchidée Impériale Concentrated Serum, Guerlain

After 18 years of research, Guerlain is ready to fulfill one of the most wished for gifts this season: more time. The brand is not coming to add extra hours to the clock, but it discovered in orchids the secret to a younger skin. The new formula of the Micro-Lift Orchidée Impériale concentrated serum is one of the most powerful agents on the market in minimizing the signs of aging, based on natural ingredients that provide an almost immediate lifting effect.
