One of the first holiday makeup releases this year, Marc Jacobs Very Merry Cherry collection's mint green packaging decked out in cherry prints caught our eye immediately. We love the modern take of the more matronly red and green Christmas colours.
Unfortunately, the Le Marc Lip Crème Lipstick in Oh Miley ($46) has already sold out on Sephora. But the three other products in the collection are still in stock: O!Mega Glaze All-Over Foil Luminizer in Gilty ($69), Eye-Conic Multi-Finish Eye Palette in Cherrific ($76) and Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara ($44).
The eyeshadow palette features seven ultra-pigmented, cherry-inspired shades from wearable neutrals to lush pops.
#2 Yves Saint Laurent Couture Leopard Print Holiday 2020 Collection

Yves Saint Laurent's holiday 2020 collection puts a wild spin to their makeup packaging. The collection features their five most iconic beauty products covered in gold and red leopard prints. While that sounds like it could steer into the tacky zone, the small-scale prints with the luxurious gold cases makes the packaging bold yet with a sophisticated, high fashion look.
The products are: Rouge Volupte Shine Lipstick ($52), Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick ($52), Touche Eclat Concealer ($62), Encre De Peau Mini Cushion Highlighter ($75) and Couture Colour Clutch Eyeshadow Palette ($129).
