Face Value: The 5 Most Gift-able Beauty Drops of November
Welcome to Face Value, Highsnobiety’s monthly guide to the best new beauty products and the brands behind them.
You've put off your holiday shopping, haven't you? Same here. If you're still struggling to find that perfect gift for the beauty junkie in your life, there are more than enough holiday sets and limited-edition lipsticks on the market. We've narrowed down the deluge of wintertime beauty releases to five standout gifts.
From Diptyque's discovery set to Byredo's frosty new eyeshadow palette, these are the November beauty drops worth sharing.
Hermès - Couronne des Vernis
Your perpetually manicured friend will delight in Hermès' wreath of 24 nail lacquers, offered in a rainbow of hues from pale rose to inky blue.
Byredo - Eyeshadow 5 Colours in Self Illusion
Byredo's latest eyeshadow palette — filled with five frosty pigments — is fit for the iciest queen you know.
Maison Francis Kurkdjian - The Countdown Calendar
We all know someone hopelessly obsessed with Baccarat Rouge 540, the indulgent, amber-y fragrance that continues to captivate fragrance lovers. Maison Francis Kurkdjian's opulent advent calendar is filled with Baccarat-scented goodies (yes, even the full-sized eau de parfum), along with the house's other standout scents.
ISAMAYA - Lips Balm
Makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench has expanded her LIPS line — which, notably, includes lipstick encased in a giant metal penis — with a new selection of semi-sheer balms. In pearlescent shades of pink, burgundy, and brown, they'll give your favorite hopeless romantic instantly kissable lips. And while they come sans-phallus, the balms can be snapped into ISAMAYA's NSFW case, now sold separately.
Diptyque - Set of 5 Eaux de Parfums
Even the snobbiest fragrance connoisseur won't turn down a discovery set from French perfume house Diptyque. The brand's most iconic scents — including Do Son, Orphéon, and Fleur de Peau – are bottled and boxed in a travel-friendly format.
