Hydrating Skin Tint with SPF 50
If there's one product that deserves a spot under every beauty lover’s tree this year, it's our Halo Glow Skin Tint with SPF 50. Priced at $18, this multitasking marvel has become a holy grail favorite for a reason—it delivers that coveted 'your skin but better' finish while packing some seriously impressive skincare benefits. Unlike other skin tints that make you choose between coverage and sun protection, this gem features mineral SPF 50 (yes, you read that right—SPF 50!) to help shield your skin from harmful UV rays. But the benefits don't stop there: it's also infused with niacinamide, a powerhouse ingredient known for helping brighten your skin tone.
When you compare it to luxury skin tints that can cost upwards of $40 or $50, our formula proves that you don't need to splurge to get glowing, protected skin. Whether your giftee is a makeup minimalist or a full-glam girlie looking for an effortless everyday option, this skin tint checks all the boxes—and then some. Plus, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the perfect time to stock up on this cult-favorite hydrating skin tint—whether you're grabbing one for every friend or buying backups for yourself!
Lightweight Pressed Face Powder
Meet the face powder that's breaking beauty lovers' hearts in the best way possible: Halo Glow Powder Filter. At $15, this pressed powder has earned its cult-favorite status by doing what so many high-end powders promise to deliver—creating that dreamy, soft-focus filter effect IRL.

That coveted airbrushed glow that looks like you just applied a real-life Instagram filter.
The best part? This $15 wonder does everything those $30+ luxury pressed powders do—blurring pores, adding luminosity, staying lightweight—but for more than half the price… talk about high-performance, budget-friendly beauty!

While other glow gels on the market can run you $30, $40, or even $50, this affordable gem creates that soft-focus filter effect in real life.
The silky, lightweight formula melts into your skin seamlessly, whether you mix it into your foundation, apply it as a highlighter on your cheekbones, or wear it solo for an effortless no-makeup glow.
