The luxury brand has released a curated trio of gift-ready sets — including **The Bestseller Set**, **The Travel Brush Set**, and a standalone **Vegan Leather Makeup Bag** — that manage to feel indulgent, practical, and unmistakably Hourglass all at once. Here's a closer look at what's inside, why it's worth it, and how to make the most of each piece. ## The Bestseller Set ($295): A Greatest-Hits Edit This set is essentially a highlight reel of Hourglass's cult classics, and at $295, it's a genuine value considering everything packed inside: - **Phantom Volumizing Glossy Balm in Slip** — a plumping, high-shine balm that gives lips that lit-from-within fullness - **Unlocked Instant Extensions Mascara in Ultra Black** — for length, lift, and a clean, feathery finish - **Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked in Hope** — the iconic multi-use palette that blurs, brightens, and sculpts - **Ambient Lighting Edit Brush II** — designed specifically to swirl and diffuse those powders seamlessly - **NEW Vegan Leather Makeup Bag** — the finishing touch that elevates the whole gift **Pro tip:** Layer the Phantom Balm in Slip *over* a nude lip liner for a soft, plush pout that photographs beautifully in low holiday lighting. ## The Travel Brush Set ($184): For the Beauty Lover Who's Always On the Go If you (or your gift recipient) live out of a carry-on, this one's a no-brainer. It includes travel-sized versions of Hourglass's most-loved brushes: ![Hourglass Cosmetics Holiday Sets Just Dropped: The Bestseller & Travel Brush Sets Reviewed — image 6](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/4d7839b6-5561-4034-8608-f7b748af085e.webp) ![Hourglass Cosmetics Holiday Sets Just Dropped: The Bestseller & Travel Brush Sets Reviewed — image 7](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/d2b91a79-7eb0-4cdc-8c69-2aa350a64c17.webp) ![Hourglass Cosmetics Holiday Sets Just Dropped: The Bestseller & Travel Brush Sets Reviewed — image 8](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/9576921f-fe1b-4be4-aadf-a3e0f040fd93.webp) ![Hourglass Cosmetics Holiday Sets Just Dropped: The Bestseller & Travel Brush Sets Reviewed — image 9](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/314e357f-4ffd-4897-a3e2-b4479ddb809a.webp) ![Hourglass Cosmetics Holiday Sets Just Dropped: The Bestseller & Travel Brush Sets Reviewed — image 10](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/913b7cbf-f233-46db-96d3-d8073186a7f2.webp) - **Ambient Soft Glow Foundation Brush** (Travel Size) - **Vanish Seamless Finish Concealer Brush** (Travel Size) - **Veil Powder Brush** (Travel Size) - **NEW No. 15 Blush Brush** (Travel Size) - **Double Ended Eyeshadow Brush** - **NEW Travel Makeup Brush Bag** The brushes are shrunken down without sacrificing performance — the bristles still deliver that airbrushed Hourglass finish, just in a more suitcase-friendly footprint. ## The Vegan Leather Makeup Bag ($98) Sold separately for those who don't need the full set, this **Vegan Saffiano leather** pouch is structured, spacious, and built to keep its shape wash after wash. At 222.87 x 132.82mm, it's roomy enough for daily essentials but slim enough to slip into a tote. The interior pocket is a small but genuinely useful detail for keeping smaller items (think lip liners and cotton buds) organized. ## Who Should Buy Which? - **Gifting a Hourglass newbie?** The Bestseller Set is the ultimate introduction. - **Shopping for a frequent flyer or makeup artist?** The Travel Brush Set wins. - **Just want the bag?** Grab the Vegan Leather Pouch solo — it's a chic upgrade to any vanity.

Between the **luxury makeup formulas**, the sculpted brushes, and the reusable vegan leather packaging, these sets check the boxes for beauty lovers who care about performance *and* presentation. Add them to your cart before they're gone — because bestseller status tends to be self-fulfilling. ![Hourglass Cosmetics Holiday Sets Just Dropped: The Bestseller & Travel Brush Sets Reviewed — image 11](https://beauty-talk-image-prod.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/posts/d6e98c7e-a238-46ec-88f8-2b245f898097.webp)
