Kaja Mochi Glow Bouncy Highlighter, $19

Mochi was always one of my favorite desserts growing up, so this adorable highlighter tugs on my nostalgic heartstrings. The bouncy texture is fun and easy to apply on the go with your fingers and the four shades are quite nice as well. Prizm, a holographic pink, is particularly unique and gorgeous.

Essie's newest collection seems designed for gifting, with shades like Congrats and Birthday Girl — cute, right? I'm especially digging Sheer Luck, a paler-than-pale pink with just the right amount of low-key shimmer.

Pat McGrath Matte Trance Lipstick, $38

There's nothing quite like the joy of opening a Pat McGrath Labs product for the first time — and that's just the beginning. Things only get better as you actually use the product. The color payoff and drama-factor of these lippies, in particular, are pretty much unparalleled.

Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Lip Cream, $7.99

If you're a fan of glossy, hydrating lipsticks, you can't go wrong with this one. It adds the prettiest sheen to your lips and the color payoff is great as well. For me, standout shades included Mauvin' to Brazil and Acai Berry.
