10 Products Now Trending at Ulta Beauty (That Would Also Make Great Gifts)

Cheirosa means to “smell incredibly delicious”—the ultimate compliment in Brazil and the inspiration behind all of Sol de Janeiro’s viral perfume mists. This one specifically is a lush, velvety blend of black currant, midnight jasmine and freesia over an amber wood heart, so it’s a bolder, more alluring scent than its siblings (the bestselling beachy florals and candy-sweet gourmands). Meant to evoke the dazzling 1976 discotheque era of Brazil, it would make a great gift for anyone who loves a glamorous night out (dance floor required).

ILIA Beauty is known for their clean and natural beauty products. As their about page states: “We believe in skin that looks like skin,” and if you’re someone who appreciates the natural glow of simple and effortless beauty, the Super Serum Skin Tint will be up your alley. It comes in 30 (yes, 30) shades and delivers a super lightweight coverage, plus it’s formulated with mineral SPF 40. On that note, it also features a blend of hyaluronic acid, plant-based squalane and niacinamide to create a moisture barrier for your skin so you can lock in hydration for hours. Makes a great gift for that friend in your life who craves a minimalist beauty routine.

Blush is having a moment and this one from NYX Professional Makeup passed our gifting requirements with flying colors—which is also the first thing you’ll notice about it: the pigment is booming. It comes in 12 shades that blend seamlessly like a powder, but glide like “butta” in soft matte and glowy finishes. Don’t be afraid to swipe this one on the high points of your cheeks, around the temples and even across the nose for a warm flush.

By now you’re probably familiar with the uber-popular lip oil trend. And if not, think of it as a more grown-up version of those goopy lip glosses we were all addicted to as teenagers. e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver Lip Oil is like a little treat for your lips. Its non-sticky formula feels like a dream—comfortable but with a glossy finish and glass-like shine you’ll love. The ultra-plush, oversized applicator evenly slicks on nourishing apricot oil and a sheer wash of color to enhance your natural pout. Think: your lips, but better. Wear on its own or over lipstick for a bolder look.

This blush and bronzer duo is what put DIBS on the map and remains their number one seller. Each color combo is made to instantly transform your face in a few easy swipes. The sticks are designed to layer—creamy, buildable, blendable and streak-free—so you can collect a few (or them all) and stack for endless possibilities.

e.l.f. Cosmetics’ shockingly fine bi-phase Power Grip Dewy Setting Spray features a water-based phase and moisturizing oil-based phase to leave you with a dewy, hydrated finish. Boosted with five percent aloe, plus hyaluronic acid, squalene and green tea seed oil, this setting spray is a great addition to any makeup-lover’s beauty routine. Just shake to activate and get ready to serve looks all night long.

This gentle toner can be used every day (unlike some of The Ordinary’s more potent products) to exfoliate your face and—slowly but surely—reveal clearer, more even, radiant skin. It’s an excellent option for more sensitive skin types or anyone who prefers to stick to one simple daily routine, rather than keeping track of products used on different days of the week.

OK, so we know we said that the e.l.f. Cosmetics Lip Oil was the GOAT, but this one from the Ulta Beauty Collection is the best clean lip oil around. A viral favorite for a reason, it soothes and nourishes lips with fruit extracts. The smooth and sheer formula will give you a glossy pout with that cushiony feel you crave from a lip product. Easy to gift, these beauties are $10 each and come in eight fruity hues from Cherry to Tangerine.

Wave goodbye to harsh, goopy sanitizers and hello to Touchland Power Mist Watermelon, the award-winning hydrating hand sanitizer that feels as good as it looks. The refreshing fragrance features notes of fresh watermelon, watery florals and crisp green apple—a far cry from your basic hand sanitizer. This makes a great stocking stuffer for anyone on your list.

The original patch from this cult favorite brand is still the winner, IMHO. Hero Cosmetics Mighty Patch Original Acne Pimple Patches is a nighttime acne patch and smarter way to shrink the look of whiteheads overnight. Made of premium medical-grade hydrocolloid, it sucks all the pus out of your pimple while you sleep, so you can wake up to clearer-looking skin. Sounds too good to be true, but we promise you it’s not. These things really work.
