The Holiday Glossier Black Tie Set Has A Huge Suprise

Some holiday sets are miniaturized versions of a company's best-selling products. Others are palettes with enough shades to make new looks every day of upcoming 365. The Glossier Black Tie Set, however, takes the cool-girl company into uncharted territory. The holiday set, which launches today, comes with three brand-new products and a new shade of their popular highlighter. Glossier is usually known for their skin-first-beauty-second mindset, but this set is all about makeup. It includes a lip gloss, a nail polish, an eye liner, and, as mentioned, a highlighter. Each are meant as minimalist Glossier party-prep must-haves.

The first-ever Glossier Lip Gloss is a translucent rose gel in the tube, but it's actually clear when swiped on with the bendy, doe-foot applicator. On the lips the gloss is, of course, very glossier chic: A glass-like shine without any glitter, stickiness, or tackiness (in either sense of the word). The Glossier Black Tie Set comes with a cute composition notebook-style lookbook that also rounds-up the product ingredients, so it's also worth mentioning the gloss has a hefty does of hydrating jojoba seed oil. If you were craving color plus a little shine and moisture, you could layer it right on over one of the Generation G lipsticks. Another Glossier first is the self-sharpening mechanical eye liner, the No. 1 Pencil in Graphite. The silky pigment goes on dark and smooth without applying any pressure at all, meaning it's perfect for challenging waterline applications; on the opposite end of the pencil is a firm, round smudging sponge to smoke-out your handiwork.

The final brand new launch in the set is an orb-like bottle of nail polish in (drumroll, please) #glossierpink. I'm sure you know what that shade looks like, but I'll go ahead and describe it as a creamy petal pink that's just a skosh too bright to be considered a pastel. It matches basically everything Glossier, from its packaging to zip-up pouches. The final product in the Glossier Black Tie Set is the only one that's not entirely new. If you are a fan of Haloscope, the company's dew effect highlighter stick, you'll love this new shade, Moonstone. It's a grayish opal that gives skin a subtle silvery glow, and it's so sheer that it even blends well on darker skin tones, which is uncommon for pearly shades.

The Glossier Black Tie Set is available now for $50 on glossier.com. It's only around for a limited time, so get it for all the cool girls in your life—yes, you count—while it lasts.
