Starface Hydro-Stars Pimple Patches

Over 4,800 five-star Amazon reviews

These TikTok-famous pimple patches are made with a hydrocolloid material that draws excess oil and sebum out of the pores. This helps to deflate pimples, while also providing essential protection from environmental pollution that can make matters worse. The star shape of the patches helps them adhere to the curvatures and contours of your skin without lifting.

Editor testing and review notes: “Pimple patches are one of my many lines of defense against acne, but a particularly practical one as I live in New York City. What I love about Starface Hydro-Star pimple patches is that they not only draw the gunk out of a zit, but they also protect my skin from city grime (and the urge to touch my face).” — Sullivan

The three light settings are great for calibrating my makeup for day to night wear, and I also love that this little mirror is cordless, so I can move it from room to room if needed.” — Sullivan

Nooni Korean Lip Oil

10,000+ five-star reviews

Keep lips supple and hydrated with this revitalizing lip stain from Nooni. Apple water, raspberry fruit extract, and vitamins a, c, and e come together in this lightweight, silky lip oil with a lightly tinted gloss. Our editors rate it as a top stocking stuffer for all the ladies on your list.

Editor testing and review notes: “I was blown away by the quality of this lip oil, given its price. It’s intensely pigmented, so you only need one coat to tint your lips — and it leaves behind a gorgeous stain when it fades. I find that it gives me about an hour of moisture; after that, I follow up with a lip balm as needed, since the stain stays put for about four hours.” — Sullivan

And even after trying pomades and oils that go for $30 or more, I still find myself coming back to this budget-friendly stick. It doesn’t leave white specks in its wake and ensures my hair won’t budge, even in gusty weather.” — Sullivan
