Ava Radovic: Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette
“My favorite thing on my Christmas list is the Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette. It is a palette of 4 highlighters, and I have been really needing some new makeup products. I really love their blush, and especially their backstage eyeshadow palettes. Dior is my favorite makeup brand, and their products are always of such high quality, that I know I will enjoy this palette, and it will last me a long time” said Radovic (’26).
Olivia Payne: Tarte Tubing Mascara
“The Tarte Tubing mascara is on my list this year because I’ve been using the same type of mascara for a while and it’s really hard to get off. I want to get a tubing mascara because it comes off really easily and it won’t kill my lashes. I like the Tarte mascara because it’s supposed to be lengthening, and it’s cruelty-free and vegan” said Payne (’24).
Cassidy Forte: Gamma Force Nike Shoes
“My favorite thing on my Christmas list are the Gamma Force Nike’s because they are super cute and I love the color” said Forte (’25).
Claire Acosta: Sunlight Alarm Clock

Brooke Fechtel: Mini UGG Boots
“My favorite thing on my Christmas list this year are the mini UGG boots. They just look so comfortable to lounge around in especially as it gets a bit colder” said Fechtel (’25)
Emme Shoop: REFY Lip Gloss
“I want this REFY lip gloss because I love the shade and my favorite influencers on TikTok use it. I also ran out of my old lip gloss so it is the perfect time to try something new” said Shoop (’24).
Alexandra Nicholas: UGG Slides
“I am so excited for this item on my list because I already have another pair of them in grey and if I am obsessed! They are like beds for my feet and I wear them whenever I can. If I can get them in black they would go with even more of my outfits and I really hope I get them” said Nicholas (’24).
