If there were ever a month built for shimmer, sparkle, and showing up like the main character at every holiday party (ugly sweater optional), it’s December. Welcome to the most magical beauty month of the year, where routines become rituals, sparkle becomes a neutral, and beauty isn’t just something we wear—it’s how we celebrate, connect, and create those year-end photo montage memories. Whether your calendar is stacked with Friendsmas dinners, white elephant hilarity, office party photo booths, snow-day memory-making, or prepping for NYE countdown selfies, consider this your official sign to turn the glam meter to sleigh.
The IPSY Shop has entered its sparkle season era. From mistletoe-ready lips to sugar-plum-fairy shadow moments, cozy-core skincare, and star-sign season looks for our Sagittarius baddies and Capricorn CEOs—December is where we go full frost-kissed fantasy. Whether you're masking by the fireplace, misting before midnight, or crafting that “caught in a snow globe” glow, it’s sparkle season—and we fully support the soft-focus, shimmer-forward lifestyle.
The best part? Everything below is up to 70% off with free shipping on $10+ orders in the contiguous U.S., so gifting and treating yourself is basically a financially responsible act (you’re welcome). Fair warning: These steals disappear faster than holiday PTO hours, so add to cart ASAP. And if you want a gift that never gets re-gifted? Send pure joy: Give an IPSY subscription—3, 6, or 12 months of fa-la-la-la-flawless beauty delivered straight to their door…a gift they’ll brag about well into 2026.


It's about glam time you treated yourself.
Your winter glam era starts right here. This 10-shade palette serves a mix of creamy mattes, holiday-worthy shimmers, and rich, wearable neutrals that blend like butter and build like a dream. From frosted sugar-plum berry to NYE--champagne shimmer to holiday hot-cocoa brown, every shade feels luxe, flattering, and ready for everything from cozy-core weekends to full-drama midnight countdown eyes. Bonus: It’s sleek, packable, and carries like couture—so you can travel light while looking very expensive.

Meet the lash upgrade that refuses to clock out early. This ultra-black, smudge-resistant mascara lifts, lengthens, and fans out every lash like its last name is Kardashian—no flakes, no clumps, no drama (unless you ordered it). Powered with vitamin A to nourish and condition, plus true jet-black pigment for high-impact payoff, its flexible brush delivers fluttery definition that actually lasts. We’re talking up to 15 hours of stay-put glam through holiday shopping marathons, office parties, peppermint-tini toasts, and yes—even Love Actually cue-card-confession tears.

Meet the only thing we’re okay with NOT shining this holiday season. This velvety blur-stick primer is powered by charcoal, niacinamide, tea tree oil, and bakuchiol to smooth texture, minimize pores, and keep your makeup locked in like it signed an NDA. Soft-focus, natural-matte perfection that will be your go-to for winter skin woes to hot, humid days and everything in between—for when you need your face to look as fresh under midnight mistletoe as it did at bottomless brunch, with zero pore-clogging plot twists.

Coverage that whispers, never shouts. This silky, nourishing, cult-favorite formula melts in like skincare to smooth and diffuse without masking your real texture, thanks to a trio of conditioning oils (jojoba, beeswax, and coconut) that keep things supple and softly radiant. Shade 11 (light ivory, warm) brightens tired under eyes faster than your third peppermint mocha, making it ideal for lifting dark circles or neutralizing redness without giving “frosted sugar cookie.”
The result? Clean, believable coverage with a cashmere-sweater finish—soft, seamless, and winter-skin-approved. It survives late-night gift wrapping, airport delays, and emotional-support Hallmark marathons without cracking or flaking. Pair with dewy skin, blurred blush, and a glossy lip for peak fireside-editorial perfection.

Brows that speak before you do. This ultra-precise pencil (from Lady Gaga’s HAUS LABORATORIES) lets you sculpt, define, and fill with surgical precision for 10/10 brows—without looking drawn-on. The medium brown shade (with a neutral undertone) creates hair-like strokes that blend seamlessly into natural brows for a natural, polished look, while the creamy, buildable formula keeps hairs in place all (holi)day. Perfect for photos with Santa and surviving that one cousin who makes them arch.

Cue your inner Cindy Lou Who: This lightweight cream adds up to 30% thicker-looking hair without the weight and shields strands from heat up to 450°F. A little goes a long way, delivering frizz-fighting, holiday-ready body and lift that’s glossy, never greasy—perfect for fine hair or second-day styling. Layer it under heat protectant or use solo for effortless, bouncy locks that survive every merry moment, secret Santa sprints, and all the festivities without missing a beat.

Your skin’s holiday hero. This creamy, fragrance-free cleanser balances pH and sweeps away makeup, SPF, and post-party glitter while soy protein, aloe, and cucumber extract calm, hydrate, and restore. Perfect for surviving full glam, flight delays, ugly sweater shenanigans, or the emotional rollercoaster of gift wrapping (#triggered). The result? Fresh, soft, glowy, selfie-ready skin that’s ready to handle anything—even those inevitable matching-pajama family photos.

Glow-getter alert: This lightweight, botanical-rich gel-cream serum blends 22 Sicilian fruit extracts, vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and squalane to brighten, even tone, and plump dull winter skin. Fast-absorbing and non-sticky, it layers beautifully under moisturizer or makeup, making it your go-to for sleighing that fresh-from-a-facial glow. Expect a radiant, dewy finish that channels sunlit Italian piazza vibes…even if you’re snowed in, binge-watching Home Alone 1, 2, and yes—even terrible 3, because we’re committed to holiday completionism.

Smells like a cozy Pinterest mood board; makes your skin feel expensive (even if you're just binge-watching holiday movies in sweatpants.) This pumpkin-sugar-cookie-scented body lotion melts in like warm frosting (sans sticky feel) while hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and aloe flood your skin with dewy, all-day hydration. Think glass skin but for your body, scented like a bakery influencer who lives in a cottagecore Hallmark universe and has a flawless a.m./p.m. routine. She’s soft, she’s plush, she’s moisturized—she’s main-feed photo ready. Slather responsibly: People may attempt to hug you longer.

Meet the SPF that won’t ruin your glam, your vibe, or your holiday photos. This lightweight, invisible-finish sunscreen stick glides on clear (no cast, no piling, no “did-I-just-ruin-my-makeup?” panic) while delivering broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection. It’s skincare-meets-street-smart: hydrating enough for winter skin, portable enough for your tiniest party clutch, and mess-free enough to reapply in the Lyft, on the ski lift, or during yet another airport delay. Think of it as your undercover UV bodyguard—because the sun still beams in December, and aging beautifully is the goal.
