Why it makes a good gift
Best for : A woman who wears makeup most days and likes to try new shades and tools.
Best occasion : The Christmas countdown, from December 1.
Why it works : With 18 full-size products, most doors hold something she will keep using in January, not a sample that runs out in two days, and the two calendar-only shades give it a small collector's edge.
Avoid if : She wears very little makeup or sticks to one prestige brand; this is a drugstore-priced brand in a premium-priced box.
