Lip gloss lovers know that there’s nothing quite like a Mac gloss, infused with jojoba oil to moisturise lips whilst giving a glistening, glass-like finish. With two lip glass shades: pink with a subtle shimmer and golden with an iridescent finish, plus a bonus original clear lipglass, which works well over the top of any of your favourite lipstick, or alone. 

Clinique knows how to make a classic red, which is a worthy enough gift alone. But this set also comes with the brand’s Moisture Surge Lip Treatment to make sure winter dryness is a thing of the past and perfectly preps lips for a beautiful red.
