Coco & Eve Silky Hair set, $51 (regularly $68)
The Coco & Eve Silky Hair set is my secret to holiday-ready hair. The kit includes the ultra-hydrating Like A Virgin hair mask and a smoothing hair serum called the Miracle Hair Elixir.
Both the mask and hair serum smell amazing. The hair duo is made with coconut and fig -- both good sources of fatty acids that help strengthen and repair hair.
The hair mask has a luxuriously thick consistency to it. I like to apply this mask after shampooing and then put my hair into a little bun to let it soak in. Of all the ingredients, I really like that the mask is made with argan oil. I have found that this ingredient is helpful for adding shine and strength to my hair.
The real MVP of this haircare set is the hair serum. I apply a lot of heat to my hair, and usually my ends look and feel fried. This lightweight serum not only makes my hair feel incredibly soft, but it also erases the look of my frazzled ends. Even my friends agree. A pal recently brushed against my ponytail and commented on how soft my hair felt and how healthy it looked.
Coco & Eve Silky Hair set
This Coco & Eve set is a must-have for anyone with thick, long hair. It tames frizz, erases the look of damage and adds shine for gorgeous holiday locks.
The haircare set is currently on sale for Black Friday.

Shark FlexStyle air styling and drying system
I tried the Shark FlexStyle and instantly fell in love with this more affordable Dyson Airwrap alternative. This versatile, multi-styling tool can dry wet hair, curl, volumize and smooth hair for the the perfect blowout. It includes four heat and three airflow settings that can be increased or decreased manually based on your preference, plus a cool shot button to lock in your style.
According to the brand, the Shark FlexStyle air styling and drying system minimizes heat damage during use. The tool measures and regulates temperatures 1,000 times per second to ensure consistent air temperature. The device comes with an oval brush, a paddle brush, a styling concentrator with rotatable nozzle and curling attachments.
I really like using the auto-wrap curlers to frame my face and create tousled curls in seconds.

Merit Great Skin
This hydrating serum is made with four types of hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, cacao seed extract and Japanese goldthread root. I put it on after my vitamin c and moisturizer but BEFORE my sunscreen. The result is super-hydrated, glowing, happy-looking skin. I've noticed that Merit Great Skin helps my foundation glide on and stay looking skin-like.
At just $38, you can't beat the price.
Peace Out Acne Healing Dots
Peace Out Acne Healing Dots don't work in just "six hours or less," as the packaging claims. But they do seem to help speed up healing when I use them. They also keep you from picking at your acne spots, which definitely aids in the pimple-healing process.
"Of all the acne stickers I've tried, these are my favorite," said CBS Essentials writer Carolin Lehmann. "These dots turn satisfyingly white over your zit, like they're actually pulling something out of it. (The hydrocolloid polymer technology promises to extract impurities.)"
CBS Essentials editor Gabby Shacknai also likes Peace Out Acne Healing Dots, though she notes you need to be patient. "The pimple patches definitely reduce the lifetime of a pimple, but the six hours is slight BS," she says. "In my experience, it's been more like overnight."
You really can't go wrong with these.
Peace Out Acne Healing Dots (20 ct.), $13 (reduced from $19)
Ilia Multi-Stick
"While this handy stick from Ilia offers lip and cheek color, I've only used it on my cheeks," said Lehmann. "I pile the Dear Ruby shade onto a brush for a fool-proof fresh look. It's pigmented but not so much so that you'll mess up its application. This multi-stick makes for a great stocking stuffer."
Dior Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet lifestyle gift set
This take on the Miss Dior perfume is lovely, with notes of Damascus rose, peony and white musk. It comes with a matching hand cream and a Dior Addict Lip Glow lip balm in a soft pink. It's overall a beautiful gift set.
