MADAME GREY MME GREY NOW FOR TRAVELING - HOLIDAY GOLIGHTLY LIMITED EDITION | Holiday 2026
“This is the traveling size. It's a bargain, and we made it in this little red box for the holidays. Now, I'm also a CHANEL No. 5 girl, so I layer Madame Grey with CHANEL No. 5.”
FARA HOMIDI ESSENTIAL CRUISE BOX | HOLIDAY 2026
“Fara Homidi, she's just the G.O.A.T. This is her holiday box, which is a sneak peek at her highlighter, which I don’t think you can get [in a stick] unless you buy the box.”
MADAME GREY THE SCORPII (SCORPIO) CANDLE & LID
“This one is from the Zodiac collection. A Scorpio is like, ‘we're having the party after the party, in the living room, in the study.’ So this is an ‘if you dare’ kind of thing.”
THE LYMA LASER PRO
“Whoa, the LYMA laser. This is the PRO, and it's a cold laser, which means it's different from all the other lasers. This one doesn't damage your skin. It penetrates deep below the dermis and actually communicates with your skin to build new collagen, or whatever. I don't know how it works, but it works.”
KRAUM MICRO BRUSH SET
“I love this so much, and I think it makes the perfect gift. Not just any brushes, of course. They're made in Japan, like, enough said. It's a really beautiful brush set.”
MSK LABS THE SELF-TAN DUO
“These are by Mishel, who I just adore. She was just in L.A. doing the [spray tanning for] the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. It doesn't streak. I have it on right now. Look at my tan! I'm usually pale. Pale, pale, pasty pale. Not chic, alabaster pale. Like, I-might-be-dead pale.”
MAISON BEAUX LE SHAMPOO & LE CONDITIONER DUO
“And this is by my dear friend Amber Valletta. They [she and co-founder Teddy Charles] really care about what's in the formulation, but they're also fashion. So, it needs to be clean and safe, but it also has to perform.”
MADAME GREY POUR CHEVEUX STRIP-TEASE
“More Madame Grey. It's iconic. I made this for the dancers in the club. We sell so many; they're always out of stock. It gives you the scent of a dangerous woman, but it also makes your hair shine.”
MUTHA BODY BUTTER GLOW
“I gift this all the time, not just for the holidays. Hope is another founder I absolutely love. She made this concoction, a formula that prevents stretch marks, and it really does. It's a ritual, and I love giving it as a gift because I get so many compliments.”
