Belif Herbal Essentials Gift Set (Normal Skin), $109.

My skin woes fluctuate between breakouts and dry patches, so I like sebum-controlling products that don’t dry out my skin. Belif Herbal Essentials Gift Set for normal skin has a number of hydrating and skin-balancing products, as well as an anti-ageing essence to deal with my rough skin texture. – Alyssa Nicole Dhaliwal, writer at Herworldplus.com

Dior Couture Creations Multi-use Palette, $150.
This has everything I need to create multiple looks – wearable colours for day, and sparkly hues to amp up the look for night. Plus, the shiny, textured case slips easily into an evening bag for touch-ups on the go. – Charmaine Lee, beauty writer

Sisley Global Anti-age, $520.

I’m in love with Sisley Global Anti-age cream – such a treat for fatigued skin at the end of an exhausting workday. It’s got a smooth, pillowy texture, and I need to pat just the tiniest pinch onto my face and neck as the last step in my night-time skincare routine to wake up to a visibly lifted and plump, but not puffy, face. It’s a savvy investment for folks who are entering their 30s (like I am). – Eugene Quek, senior beauty writer at Herworldplus.com

Shiseido Festive Camellia palette, $120.

I’m a total sucker for great packaging, so this palette, with a lid that’s wrapped in silk and decorated with floral motifs, scores top marks with me. Inside are six hues that can be used as both eye and face makeup. My favourite is Winter Rose, a pretty pink that leaves a healthy flush on my cheeks and opens up my deep-set eyes when applied on the eyelids. – Jaclyn Gunasilan, associate beauty editor

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel 2x Volume and Shine Limited Edition Duo Pack, $16.90.

Just one coat of the polish in this kit (there are 22 colours to choose from) gives an opaque coverage while a layer of the topcoat gives the sort of shiny finish that you usually see on salon manicures. I work out regularly, so my nail polish tends to chip easily – the topcoat seriously gives my manicures more mileage. – Tan Min Yan, associate lifestyle editor

Aveda Feeling Balanced is a Gift set, $112.

This set is a must-get if you like relaxing, spa-like scents. Each travel-size body mist is infused with pure essential oils, and you can layer them over one another to create different scents. If I’m feeling stressed out, I’ll spritz on Chakra 2 — the patchouli and vetiver essential oils in it have a calming effect. – Carina Koh, beauty writer
