The Lancôme Essentials Brush Set is just… DIVINE. Behold:
Priced at a reasonable $45, the set includes must-have brushes encased in this gorgeous little ruched and jeweled pouch of elegance. AND the brushes are an ombre of PURPLE! Which just made me think of “It’s PURPLE! Your aura’s purple.” “What?” “Purple! It’s purple.”

The kit includes:
An Ageless Mineral Brush for powder or blush
A Blending Tip Brush for shadow
A Dual Ended Brush for shadow and liner

I love that it’s a delightfully edited selection (just three application tools) so that your recipient won’t be scrambling longer than say, the instrumental intro of Plastic Fantastic Lover, in the morning when she’s trying to “put on her face.”

The Lancome “Essentials” Brush Set is available at Nordstrom.
