Get your hands on these limited-edition holiday make-up items before the year is over.

Diorific Golden Shock Colour Lip Duo

$55, from Dior counters

This lipstick comes with two tones - one matte, one sparkly - moulded into one.

So there are three ways to wear this lipstick: apply the sparkly shade on top of the matte; or wear one shade on the upper lip, and the other on the lower lip, and then press your pout together to meld the colours. Or wear each colour on its own.

Available in six shades.

Our pick: the bold pink and red Ardent Shock in 006.

Maquillage Snow Beauty

$85, from Shiseido counters

This is the first face powder that we have come across that can be used both day and night. The sheer and translucent powder contains the whitening ingredient m-tranexamic acid.

Use it in the day to set make-up and use it in the night as your last skincare step.

Decorated with sparkly snowflakes, this beautiful compact would look great on the dresser too.

Lancome Drama Eyes Hypnose Palette in Parisian Lights

$90, from Lancome counters

A five-shade eyeshadow palette for soft brown smoky eyes, encased in a luxe hammered-gold compact.
