The Holiday Glossier Black Tie Set Has a Huge Surprise (Update)

UPDATE (December 6, 2016 11:50 a.m.): If you saw the Glossier Black Tie Set all over Instagram and had to hold yourself back from double tapping because you wished you could try out just the #glossierpink nail polish, your prayers have been answered. Glossier announced on Instagram this morning that each of the items from the limited-edition holiday set are now available separately. Take this as an excuse to stock up the clear rosy gloss for 2017 or try out the new opalescent highlighting stick without committing to everything else. The quick-drying polish will cost you $12. As for the graphite No. 1 Pencil liner, it is $16. Like the other Haloscope shades, the new Moonstone one is also $22. And last but not least, the glitter-free, but super-shiny gloss is $14. As a reminder, the entire Glossier Black Tie Set was $50, so if you are interested in each of the four products—which total up to $64 separately—you'll save a cool $14 by making the full investment.

You can add them to your cart now on glossier.com. And if you happen to be in New York City, you can head over to the penthouse of 123 Lafayette St. to shop the individual items at the Glossier showroom, which just reopened on a permanent basis yesterday.

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 the upcoming year. The Glossier Black Tie Set, however, takes the cool-girl company into uncharted territory. The holiday set, which launches today, comes with three 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 Glossier Lip Gloss is a translucent rose-hued 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 or tackiness. The Glossier Black Tie Set comes with a cute composition notebook-style look book that includes 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, and 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.
